Another person discovers the binary certificate cartel.

The comparison to solar is incomplete, because nuclear and coal aren't sunlight-dependent. You need to compare solar + energy storage. I know that solar generation is cheaper. Is it still cheaper with storage?

Why speculate?

Title nit: "backup" means a second copy, "back up" is the verb phrase for moving backwards. Verb phrases get hyphenated for clarity when used as adjectives immediately preceding a noun. So this should be "back-up camera", not "backup camera".

I mean, the obvious answer is that it's an extremely stupid idea that by all accounts fails at its one special trick and fundamentally can't operate without making a mess. Even the absolute best possible spherical cow outcome will still leave a bunch of gunk stuck between your teeth, but the most likely occurrence is that it just won't do anything at all most of the time. Consumer Reports called it messy, ineffective, and insignificant.

If you want a water flosser, just get a water flosser. Don't rely on microchip-AI-based optical targeting of microsprays from a lilliputian fluid reservoir inside a mouth filled with toothpaste and saliva to tell you where your teeth are.

Oh, you meant why they're leaking and dying. Right, right.

Your benchmarks are really weird though. Opus 5.5 claimed to be trash, Gemini Flash claimed to be the best, Sol 6 claimed to be better than Astra 6? How are you testing? Your findings don't match anyone else's.

Ok. That's a...what's the cool phrase for it these days..."load-bearing (Necessarily)"?

Don't worry, I was making a joke. :)

You mean 2.3. Gas prices all go down to tenths of a penny. :)

That's very sweet! But I recommend subscribing to me only once, not every time I write a comment. Otherwise you'll end up with thousands of duplicate subscriptions.

Searched the article for "annonacin", "neurotoxin", and "atypical parkinsonism" and came up short. Warning about skin and seeds being generically toxic kinda buried at the end.

Anyway, I had some recently that showed up at my local co-op. The texture was nice, but the flavor was...fine? Certainly nothing magical.

Nutrition Facts says not to eat them: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-not-eat-pawpaws/

"Financial products" is vague, so what if we just go down the list of payment methods and see which ones require being incorporated.

Credit card? No. ACH? No. Wire transfer? No. Cash? No. Crypto? No. Check? No. IOU on a napkin? No. Pokemon card? No. Sex? Weirdly illegal in most places, but still no.

...uh...which ones did I miss?

Forming an LLC doesn't make separating finances any easier. It doesn't help you do it or help you force yourself to to do it. My objection is specifically to the claim that it helps you do anything. It doesn't.

Also, you should separate finances as a sole proprietor too.

> "An LLC does help with getting a proper EIN"

No it doesn't. Sole proprietors get EINs just fine. It's literally the first option on the first page of the application. https://sa.www4.irs.gov/applyein/legalStructure

> "and DUNS number"

No it doesn't. Sole proprietors can get DUNS numbers just fine. It's literally the first option when you tell them how your business is structured right after telling them your name and email address.

> "Yes it absolutely helps with accepting payments"

A billion people accepting payments in every possible form without being incorporated say that you're wrong. No method of payment processing, from credit cards to memecoins, cares whether you're incorporated.

> "having an EIN is necessary in many cases"

Again, getting an EIN and forming an LLC are completely unrelated.

> "An LLC will help you force a separation of personal and work finances"

No it won't.

> "it’ll help you accept payments"

No it won't.

> "or sign up for a bank account"

No it won't.

An LLC doesn't make those things any easier than they already are (very easy) as a sole proprietor.

An LLC only does the liability thing. And that's fine. Just don't make other things up. You don't need to.

It's cute, but the custom weather overlays don't make sense. Where are the autumn leaves falling from on top of the 7th floor in Paris, the secret rooftop forest canopy?

You use them with water, which then gets dumped. Dishes aren't relevant.

My advice to a prospective graduate student is that if you can do literally anything else with your life, do that instead. The cost of going through graduate school is only worthwhile if you really need to be there to be happy in your life. Too many people wind up there for not great reasons, and it hurts them both emotionally and financially compared to having done something else.

I'm confused. You think it's better to tax the money you didn't get rather than the money you did get?

> "Security backed loans for what though? Personal spending? Building a factory to great jobs?"

Income for what though? Personal spending? Building a factory to great jobs?

Capital gains for what though? Personal spending? Building a factory to great jobs?

Property for what though? Personal spending? Building a factory to great jobs?

Inheritance for what though? Personal spending? Building a factory to great jobs?

What a strange question.

Ok, yes, but it was also simple for you to get yourself and you just complained instead. You didn't even provide the link with your complaint.

The obvious correct solution is to tax securities-backed loans the same as selling the securities.

Can't is a strong word. https://archive.ph/IY18i

Area man who builds oppression machinery and who is a liar is sad that other people are turned off by both of those things.

Also, lying to someone to convince them to have sex with you means you don't care about consent. There isn't a bigger turn-off in the world than that.

> but can go very wrong if not careful

This is vague and doesn't explain anything. Can you share any references that communicate what you're thinking about?

This feels like a non sequitur?

> And why is this so prevalent?

Because the law doesn't force them not to?

It's very wild to me that you're like "This organization is lying to me, so what we need less of is people telling them what to do."

I need you to help me connect the dots, because a bare URL is not the same thing as communication. What does the airline deregulation act have to do with hospitals giving you fake prices because nobody forces them not to?

What do you think would force hospitals to give you real prices if not the law?

> Ask an American hospital how much something costs - you will get a completely fake price back

You think the government tells hospitals to lie to you? The hospitals lie because the government doesn't force them not to. Laissez-faire capitalism causes that. Regulation is needed to fix it.
