I'm much older and use links (similar to lynx but with tables) in text-mode as my main browser. Occasionally I'll have to load something graphic for java[script]/... which is otherwise detestable and to be avoided.

So I have a simple script that dumps a list of URLs into a text file (~100kB). Then `diff` on an earlier version give a few pages of interesting changes. Done and not dependant only YAP (yet another protocol, RSS).

I don't see any problems......said with a perfectly straight face.

I have no problem with ICE acting within the laws on the books and kicking people who are here illegally the fuck out of the US.

In fact, I voted for it.

that is to say, about ensuring the country can produce the things it needs during a time of conflict, and not relying on imports for essential technology. That seems to be a more likely reason for this specific push, but they always try to hide these things behind

"jobs"...ah...politics...sigh...,

You almost seem to be saying this like it is NOT a good primary reason for bringing manufacturing back to the US?

Per my other post, did you forget covid days?

It is a national security risk big time...especially with china who is openly antagonistic to the US.

Manufacturing jobs are gone. And good riddance

Nope...we need as much of the critical manufacturing as we can do in the US.

Did you forget the pandemic so quickly? We got a good glimpse at what a national security threat looks like when we depend on external nations (some openly hostile like china) for our products and raw materials ......

If you don't do it here...other nations have you by the balls....

.....and not in the good way.

they probably will demand a tax holiday to onshore money tax free for it to happen as well.

I'm all for that...let's get that cash back IN the US....have it flowing in our economy ......

And as far as iPhones made in the US...I wouldn't mind paying a premium for an US made iPhone....

Hell, right now, with most any purchase I DO see if there is a US company making things here and will save and pay extra to get US made goods...especially anything that is hand made these days,, like boots.

I'm liking the offerings from Nick's Boots....things like this I'm happy to pay extra for.

Well, those so called cops didn't do their job and I believe they faced the consequences..

But stats on daily lives in the US show WAY more crimes are stopped by a good guy with a gun...

Hell, a recent story about a guy running around in a Walmart I think it was...mass stabbing people was stopped in the parking lot by an armed citizen....who actually showed more restraint than most folks...held him at gunpoint and had him finally drop the knife.....rather than shoot him.

Good people defend themselves all the time by being a "good guy with a gun"....

The Republican party is going medieval.

Quite a delusional post to me. I have grown up to working parents, and with one exception, all my female relatives are working, if in working age. No one is a trad wife, and everyone of them refuses the idea of being one. Why do you think of them being victims (and of whom)?

You remember that one group that has been using one of their kid's diaries for political pressuring the world for 80 years now.

What group do you think did the ridiculous stunt today?

Things like this will lead to very hard legal limits placed on what AI will be allowed to do or asked to do.

Do we allow digging up corpses to use as halloween decoration? No? Why not?

Then why would we allow digging up corpses to dress up and use as talking heads for whatever agenda or product?

Reanimating dead people with AI will be a highly punishable offense very soon.

If it becomes permissible to use deepfakes of dead children to parrot whatever you want them to say in order to further a political agenda, then anything is possible.

And while they're at it, they can use the same deepfake AI to have the same dead child recommend a beer brand that the AI thinks this child would have chosen if he grew up to be old enough to drink beer.

It is the most disgusting form of actual necromancy. Digging and dressing up corpses and using them as talking puppets.

I always knew that America is morally corrupt, but holy moly is this a new low even your them.

Reviving dead children as puppets to make them parrot your own chosen political message is a disgusting piece of brainwashing.

It's a far cry from using photos and placing them next to political messages.

But making it look like the dead themselves are back to life to tell everyone about a political message chosen for them is impossible to endure.

If you disagree, please tell us: Why not have a lifelike AI-based replication of famous murder cases appear in advertisements for car insurance or medical products? Have them laugh and joke about their own death a little, recommending the viewer to take medication X instead, so they don't end up dead like them. Why not? Let's have some AI-generated advertising where George Floyd and Geoffrey Epstein recommend vacation resorts on private islands in the Carribean? WHY THE HELL NOT?

Why have any amount of decency when you can instead further your own agenda with anything that works?

Maybe Scott McNealy was a prophet

You can't even enforce that 1000 ft rule over congested airspace with manned aircraft. What makes you think you can stop it with drones? 1K ft is the FAA minimum for congested areas, and it drops to 500ft in less congested areas.

The best you can hope for is 500ft as the crow flies, and then a controlled vertical drop in front of the target residence.
