Americans don't WALK across their cities because
You know why.
You know exactly why.
The entire urban landscape of the USA can be explained by a very very very simple thing. It started on Dec. 18th, 1865 or much earlier, when they all were brought to the US in the first place.
Everything and everyone wants to get away from them, paying any price they can or driving as far as they need to.
I heard yesterday that if China and India sanction the US on pharmaceuticals up to ten million additional Americans would die within a year. Trump might just push them that far.
Kodak should seriously be pitching FDA to be the chemical engineering lifeboat for onshoring pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Save Kodak, save most of Congress.
(I know, I know)
It seems like excessive video length is being incentivized because so many podcasters speak so slowly I have my player default to 1.5. If the player glitches and plays at 1.0 it's like I played a 45 at 33 rpm and they sound like they're on Valium or something.
At 1.5 they sound like my friends and I talk.
I literally lose attention when listening to many people at 1.0 (while doing other tasks).
If it's highly technical or music or a few normal people who make hobby videos I slow it down to 1.0.
Yet so many comments on the videos I listen to at 1.5 say, "slow down, you talk too fast!"
It's wild - I am glad we all have a choice. I almost never watch a video on X because the speed controls on their website are almost always broken.
> without interoperability whats the point
Competition lowers prices and increases value.
A monopoly or design-by-committee would just ossify.
I can't hook up my DSL modem to Comcast or Community Fiber but that's fine.
Install Brave and turn off the extras in the Preferences?
It takes two minutes and doesn't bother you again.
Spend an extra two minutes to set up a sync chain, though - it's secure and handy.
Half the news stories I see embed a Tweet and roughly none embed a Thread (what's the correct singular?).
Maybe it's relevant outside of news?
Anything to sabotage the peace talk summit on Friday.
A BOLO for false flags was issued two weeks ago but this is pretty weak.
Even if it were true you'd hold this for a week unless you're a war whore. But NYT seems to worship death and the profits that come along with it.
You don't need to consume copyright materials.
Until you get to college and you're given a list of required textbooks and required reading in a humanities class. Or until the government, a public utility, or some other monopoly on an essential service requires a particular brand of proprietary operating system to run an application through which to access said service. This could be Windows or macOS on desktop, or Android with Google Play* or iOS on mobile.
* Though Android Open Source Project is free software, many popular applications require Google Play Services, which is proprietary and lawfully available only preinstalled on a handset.
If anyone tells you our Country is at risk because people in charge of mass government censorship campaigns got fired then they're your enemy domestic.
Unless you're one of them and they're your partner in crime.
We must move past not trusting spooks to ignoring spooks, except as to understand the situation vis-a-vis enemy intelligence.
PS Free Snowden!
Just yesterday there was a news story about
Predditors organizing to mass copy a YouTuber's content to try to wreck his revenue.
A court forced Reddit to hand over their identification and he is suing them. Ethan somebody.
There's quite an ethos over there about organizing crime and apparently if it's leftwing they just leave it alone. e.g. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Flgbt%2F... nobody pushing back against crime.
Most neutrally the company may not want to deal with subpoenas and they don't think the crimes are justly constructed.
But it's weird which kinds of illegal-in-some-jurisdictions subs get adult gated and which ones are freeworld. e.g. drugs are legal in some countries and being gay is illegal in others. Region settings seems to have no effect. Rightwingers get ejected post-haste. Tech subs are often great, sometimes conquered by schizo mods. So unpredictable over there. I go there sometimes like I go to failed neighborhoods sometimes - only when the need arises.
The fatigue seems to be mostly about other humans who believe LLM's are omniscient and inflatable.
Or even good conversationalists.
As an information retrieval tool or a radiology diagnosis assistant, sure, hardly anybody is complaining.
OK, maybe some lesser radiologists.
Don't have a car? Pack up your backpack. What doesn't fit, stays behind. Take the bus.
You still need a first job to afford the bus ticket and hotel room.
You also don't have to live in a state to "qualify" for interviews there.
GoTeam disagrees in this comment, with my emphasis:
our HR is a disaster. They don't post jobs they way we ask them to, and the people they do give us resumes for are mostly unqualified or out of state
How do most new graduates cover the cost of moving to another state in order to qualify for interviews in that state?
The posts are not copyrighted content.
And it's a stretch to call Reddit user content compensated by this.
If money can't buy happiness, I guess you'll just have to rent it.
