I shopped there many years ago when things like magnets were not in every stop-n-rob. Before WWW was a thing we shopped using these things called 'catalogs' and 'mail'. Finding some obscure items was often difficult, but little specialty companies like this filled the needs. To be honest I was surprised to read that they still exist at all.
I get both sides. As an old person, I've been around long enough to see the worlds entification slowly increase and a big part of it is the economy. Human workers are expensive, everyone from the top to the bottom want ever increasing salaries and benefits. That starts a never ending cycle of shit. The salaries goes up so the prices must go up to compensate, witch makes the desire for the salaries to increase. Around and around we go. AI is almost a one time cost, sort of like buying a machining center. Many classes of 'professions' can be replaced. And before the Utopians chime in, no, no one is going to work without a financial incentive. So the CEO's of the world are not going to accept less decadence in their lives.
He's quite old and the immortality serum is yet to be discovered.
Trumpism will stay on, though.
78 is not really "quite old", it may seem that way to you if you're young. Many people who have access to the best medical treatment live well into their 90's. After all when did the last president die in office? By then the USA may be nothing but a fond memory.
Trump will be out of office and we can reverse all this before the U.S. has its own Chernobyl.
What makes you think he is going to leave? The 'law' means nothing to him. All hail Emperor Trump!
But you shouldn't make too many assumptions about other peoples' finances just based on what they do with their money.
As you shouldn't question why others worry about inflation just because you assume they make more money than they did prior.
Why should nominal inflation matter to you?
Because I don't make money just to buy more things. Let me guess, you live paycheck to paycheck?
If it shouldn't be legal for law enforcement to get that data without a warrant, why the hell is it legal for the data brokers to buy and sell it?
Good question. If it's freely available why is LE the only ones being restricted? I'd much rather they had it than the insurance and advertising industries.
Aren't all Presidents? They probably have one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Just look at how Obama aged in 8 years. You can't tell me they are always getting a good, proper amount of sleep every night without interruption.
Lots of people are, and I believe that you can learn/condition to do so. I spent most of my adult life in the military and law enforcement. Sleeping only a couple of hours is the norm and you get used to it. Is it healthy? I doubt it, but it is doable. I don't think it's a mutation as much as an adaptation to the situation.
Huge difference for this case. The PIN is only locally significant and used to unlock a credential stored on your device.
Your PIN is never sent over the network like a login password is.
What makes passwords vulnerable is they are used directly in an authentication protocol.
With locally-sigificant PINs the PIN is not part of the authentication protocol. The authenticator is on your computer,
and the PIN is simply used as an additional factor to unlock the authenticator on your computer.
Ok, that makes a bit of sense. Thanks.
I was going to ask a legitimate question (on
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
These researchers are always so quick to make these announcements in an attempt to justify or procure more government funds
Unfortunately, science has degraded to just another form of marketing and often tainted by whatever the researchers' biases/motivations are.
I think you're responding to the wrong post. I didn't say any of those things.
I agree with the other person who replied. You are attempting to equate financial and personal gain from some activity or endeavor. They simply are not the same and, anyway, from the context of my first statement it's obvious that I was referring to the financial alone.
Fuck humans, amirite?
For the love of money is the root of ALL evil.
Wrong, Religion is the root of all evil. Now it does facilitate big money, but still.
"Managing" AI agents would be nothing like managing a team of humans. They're pulling out all the stops to try to pump the AI dream because they have so much money invested into it at this point.
I keep say, this AI shit is alot like crypto, the only people who want it are the people with a stake in profiting from it. It's a solution to a problem that does not exist.
In Nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, there are consequences. -- R.G. Ingersoll
