Dude the Epstein class has been routinely trading companies for tens of billions of dollars. Often with little or no hope of ever making a profit. One of the reasons the economy is constantly collapsing is that the "Job Creators"can take these absolutely fucking batshit insane risks and because they are too big to fail it's always worth it. If it blows up in their faces we bail them out and they get a cushy job from their buddies and if it pans out it's a huge increase in profits and career opportunities for them personally.

This is why Sony spent something like half a billion dollars on Concord even though it was a shit game and everybody knew it. There was a CEO who was gambling that it would be a hit and would rocket his career to the Moon!

The thing is when you have people that powerful you cannot hold them accountable. You just can't it's not possible. And it's useless to pretend you can. You have to not let them get that powerful in the first place or you have to deal with the mess they make in your life.

But for some reason we always like to pretend we're going to hold them accountable THIS time. Kind of like how the Centrist Democrats keep thinking voters are going to come to their senses about electing psychopathic pedophiles to run the country. No matter how many times the pedophiles when their election everybody just gets flustered when they do and tries it all again.

It's a running gag on left wing forums where somebody says there's no way Trump will wiggle through this mess, Trump wiggles through the mess and then oh well, nevertheless...

Well akshually....

Grok is hard at work fixing that.

And cut their work hours. If you want babies that's what you need to do.

It's the "fights back", particularly combined with "back", that makes it seem incorrect. The "back", to me, implies more than just reduction or elimination. Maybe I'm wrong.

Clean water and environmental regulations that keep lead out of your paint fight crime. Free school lunches so kids don't grow up hungry fights crime.

But on the other hand it feels like Bright Street lamps make crime harder and America is a nation of 12-year-olds so we are very much feels over reals.

I was wondering why street lights don't have motion sensors. Maybe it's because the range of the sensors is too low. Typical PIR stuff won't work very well at that distance. Or maybe the lights going on and off all the time would be distracting or annoying for residents.

It was a decision that weighed up the pros and cons.

Pros:
- Broader spectrum light has better colour rendering, i.e. you can see things like road markings and hazards better with it. Sodium is very narrow spectrum.
- CCTV can see a lot better with broad spectrum.
- Whiter light appears brighter to humans even when the light output is lower than redder light.
- LEDs are more efficient at higher colour temperatures, although the difference is small now.

Cons:
- Can mess up the natural day/night cycle for living things, from insects to humans.
- Some people prefer orange.

If it is bothering you then contact your council. They can install a shield that stops it shining into your bedroom.

It says "combat" and "fight back", but it seems like it just protects the user and does nothing to retaliate.

I think anyone how serves a cat probably knows that AI doesn't need to be particularly complex or intelligent to take over the world. Cats don't have object permanence or the ability to reason, and they still easily get humans to work for them for free.

Brave has betrayed user trust far too many times. They currently offer a paid version that claims not to monetize you, but how can you trust them? Besides, they are not keeping Manifest V2 either, they won't maintain it after Google removes it.

He hacked it together in a weekend with little thought. As is often the case, the worst option becomes the de-facto standard. See Markdown for another example.

I thought common Slashdot wisdom was to disable Javascript because only a madman runs unknown code downloaded from the internet on every website he visits.

They were thinking that the web is their platform. The whole reason they created Chrome was because they wanted the web to be the platform, not the underlying OS. Chomebooks are mostly just a web browser.

Googlebooks are abandoning that to have proper apps. They seem to be hoping that it can become as much as a gaming platform as Android.

It's sad that McD is the standard for quick, known quantity food. In Japan they have little noodle places that are just as fast, but the food is infinitely better, both in terms of taste and nutrition.

Creating Javascript is not something to be proud of.

Either way, Firefox's decline has nothing to do with him. It's because Chrome is good. I know, Google steals all your data, but most people just want a browser that is fast and easy to use. If they care about privacy, there are numerous forks to choose from.

I use Firefox, but the compatibility issues and long standing bugs are frustrating. Most people would probably give up, and even I look at new Chrome based browsers to see if moving back is feasible now and then. I think the lack of uBlock on Chrome will probably keep me here, but I'm far from a typical user.
