You're reminding me of Team Fortress 2 server nightmares from last year with all the hackers and bots

I’m thankful that the career I’ve had helped me learn about the organizations that had an impact in that history and a new lens to see the world with.

Natural features and characteristics are becoming in-vogue with airport design. Cebu and Clark in the PH have a similar timber roof design, as did Bangalore Kempegowda when I flew out of it.

LA county and the adjoining counties are roughly the same size as the Kanto Plain around Tokyo. The main difference is that Tokyo rebuilt their street car lines as heavy rail instead of turning them into automobile arterials.

I've only caught wind of this through independent journalism on YouTube. The Hui people of China are also Muslim and you're not hearing about them being put into forced labor camps.

The west is creating hyperbole of fringe groups that were mostly active decades ago at this point, and using that narrative to economically subjugate them.

If a westerner sees a Uyghur work in a factory, the manufactured narrative leads to the assumption that the labor is forced, and this keeps these folks from finding good work and social mobility. This would then put these folks on the path to radicalisation due to this economic exclusion, and affect the social stability within the PRC.

Austria has highly available state housing of high quality. I don't think they qualify as a communist state, despite one of the more prominent complexes named after Karl Marx.

Based on some of the viral videos out of SF lately, I think we need Delamain from Cyberpunk 2077 more than Waymo at this point. I've been in a Waymo with other drivers trying to test its intelligence (trying to cut into the Waymo's lane with the signal on while right in the blind spot) and it's not fun.

You're making me think of malls in LA like The Grove which are simulacrum of walkable, people sized neighborhoods which aren't available in that region outside of Disneyland.

There's even a rail trolly in there.

Is the services that PlayStation Now uses publicly known? That's the only streaming service I've used so far.

There's an anime from 2007 called "Denno Coil" that focuses on AR compute with devices that look like normal glasses and integrated with everyday life. This is the piece of culture I'd compare against, and use as a barometer to compare where this type of interface can reach a critical mass.

I've had a dude with a Tagalog accent take over the speakers in my car and asked me and the folks I was inside with to leave because I decided to clown car it with friends visiting from out of state. With that said, there for sure is someone monitoring, but it's similar to how checkout at Amazon Go stores went.

I'd be curious to know how this monitoring scales over time.

Sounds like we need to subjugate these orcas to capitalist alienation

I got a feeling that this is gonna end up like Bibliotheca Alexandrina where the plans were too grandiose for what was actually accomplished

I honestly really want an updated version of a keitai like the Samsung Folder 2 but I have doubts that there's a large enough audience for those kinds of phones out there right now.

I'd be glad to see the data cap loopholes they've negotiated with overseas telcos get their contracts canceled and not renewed

Sagaar from Breaking Points felt the same way in his monologue today.

Frankly I think Japanese smokers have more freedom because there are designated places to do so. I walked into a Nissan dealership in Ginza just to use the smoking room and was invited to sit inside a special edition GT-R on the way out.

When I'm not using those spaces and smoke on the street, I get stopped and frisked (never happens to me in NYC tho as someone who is melanated).

The 15% could be fraught but I feel like it exists, especially when people critique full self driving services in r/SanFrancisco

One common theme I've noticed with Progressive policy on the west coast is that well make the progressive amendments to our laws and policies, but we don't have the institutions to support those policies.

At least with Portugal, they have a stick in their policy that enforces treatment and medical attention if you're strung out and using on the street.

Also, Channel 5 did a great piece on the Safe Injection Site in SF. When talking to the "real ones", the safe site made all the difference in people's lives when it was available.

FIDO passkeys are the way to go now. It's saved to your password manager and just needs one click to authorize your login.

You can get a weekly universal basic income in online mode for five if you have an Amazon Prime account

Bibi had all the power to stop Hamas, but a secular Gaza isn't in his political interests.

I think part of the right's fixation with SF is that it was the first major city to shelter in place in early 2020 and 'cross the rubicon' into the world we live in today.

I grew up around SF and was a free range teenager taking buses everywhere knowing the trunk lines across town would show up every 5 minutes, glad there were large shared spaces and affordable places to hang out and eat with friends.

Pieces from the New York Post would prolly make parents not want their kids to take MUNI regularly.

Most folks associate taking psychedelics and hanging out in a living room, out in nature, being at a club, festival or warehouse. The difference here is that the dugs are being used in a directed mental health setting with process and procedure. This has roots going back to Native American spiritual and communal experiences like the ayahuscaeros of today.

Joe Rogan's old content postulates that religion as we know it today was formed from psychedelic experiences. For example, the bush that burned in front of Moses was acacia and widely known in the levant to have psychedelic properties

Everyone here be talking about cookware where increasingly teflon is getting produced via gore-tex and going into higher end products for companies like Vans, Nike and Adidas as a waterproof feature.

Implying the effort and capital will come through go preserve those obscure languages, especially ones that originate from geographically isolated places. I'd love to see it in places like the Philippines where the aboriginal script and tribal patterns and designs are coming in vogue now.

Living in California all my life and seeing local municipalities essentially pretend they're still in the 1970s and adhere to car orientation and single family homes for their land use really makes me wish these jurisdictions would lose local control with policies like the Builder's Remedy.

The show is centered around hard science so it can be a little difficult to follow for some, the series is around 30 episodes and it took a while to make some decent progress in the plot. I like it overall, but have a feeling that the Netflix version may not be able to match it, especially when trying to "westernize" it.

Could be the real life equivalent of a part of the plot of the Three-Body Problem (I've only seen the Tencent series). One of the mechanisms used in the exposition of this problem is a VR game within an planet with alien physics due to the orbital environment surrounding it, and the game's goal of understanding the physics and observed patterns. I think that's the best I can obfuscate it without fully spoiling the plot.
