France, that socialist country. The current government is a right-wing neoliberal and the next are neo-fascists.

The value of a library is that it's all in one place.

Burning the Library of Alexandria also didn't burn the other copies, and yet many books were lost.

> But at the end I left with only single thought. That this is gonna be a future of LA with all water supply issues, AI taking jobs, and poor actors, models, stand up comedians and homeless people inheriting the land xD.

Yes, and cosmetic surgeons slashing people, Sendero Luminoso conquering territory, Carjack Malone living on a tanker ship, Peter Fonda surfing on a stormdrain.

It's called Escape from LA, and it is glorious.

> It's like he doesn't even use his own product

Why would he? He has an army of slaves to do his bidding, why would he settle for a crappier version of that?

> Biden held significant sway in the country as VP

Hahaha. Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I agree, but VP? There's a reason why there's a Veep TV show.

Those are the Ukranian spies?

It's much better to just go to CeX, the (original?) Charlie Brooker chain. At least they are honest at being basically a pawn shop for games.

Oh no, there are incompatible tax dodges and government handouts, you need to pick a subset of them.

> Okay, I'm sorry for the clickbaity title — it isn't quite accurate — but I really wanted your attention.

That's more devs than made Doom, Deus Ex, Fallout(?).

What? The US governed Japan for several years and wrote thier constitution. Seems like occupying territory to me.

Fantastic museum, 5 floors of incredible information. Smack in the middle of the hip neighborhoods too.

Which is basically abandoned. I think there were some talks with local authorities to recover it, but I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.

Maria Butina. Isn't she in the Duma now?

Musk is demanding more money from Tesla, saying his "salary" was too low for him to dedicate time to that venture. There is a lawsuit and all.

50 billion dollars of money that won't be invested in the company.

Yeah, "unions, real estate, regulation", that's what stopping them.

> Part of Porto's charm is its signature roughness ;)

If the people you are talking to isn't using swear words as punctuation, you are being gentrified.

What's should be information transfer between journalism AI and espionage AI? They are the opposite, avoiding contamination is the point! Sometimes, subjects are actually separate and "transfer" is "contamination". I don't want postmodernist thinking on my arithmetic AI.

This does move the goalpost to having an AI to select the AI to query, but that's a much lower bar to clear, it's almost a solved problem with sentiment analysis-type engines.

Why not add another layer to the tinfoil hat?

How do we know "Jia Tan" is not a Facebook op to "nudge" people to switch to Zstandard?

Have you seen any non-Nazis or non-Aliens related show on NatGeo or Discovery? It's almost reality shows back-to-back now.

> you can't make it through an MIT physics degree while being a total moron

Isn't he a legacy admission (different Ivy League, but the moral equivalent)? Which assistant professor will flunk the son of two tenured professors?

Yes, selling the problem with OpenAI and the solution with Worldcoin.

Enormous resources transfered to him, and the world remains the same.

Is it labor if it automatic? Which worker gets paid when I turn on my oven to heat my food?

I can see value, but no labor.

The CIA was unable to stop an armed militia storming the Capitol, the insurgents failed due to their own incompetence.

Or do they turn a blind eye when the former CIA director has a cabinet position?

I heard a security guard convincing a friend over the phone about this, saying they given you "Bitcoin" for a picture of your Iris.

Yet another sama scam.

It's even worse than that: the so-called "center right" party was explicitly formed to emulate Olof Palme and the nordic social democracies (as the name implies). Only after the troika intervention did PPC pushed it to the neoliberal right.

There was a HN poster way back then claiming to have never read a novel in their lives. I totally believe an art-free existence is possible.

Well, Twitter Blue exists...

Just because the Nazis did it, doesn't mean it's automatically bad.

"Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos."

"This aggression will not stand", as The Dude says

I think Free Software is the means of production, but it's not a wealth transfer, it's capitalist value destruction, it's the elimination of entire swathes of the economy. It's a purely communist system of socialist common good.

The profit of the big corps almost never results from the FOSS itself.

No one harasses me either, but I don't have a anime girl persona.

Seems like white people complaining they are never the target of racism. Have some empathy.
