among my generation this has already caught on among some groups of young white women for "diversity clout" if that's a thing. they are all suddenly "bi" and put pride flags in their insta and tiktok bios. prove them wrong.

p.s. there are doubtless plenty who are fr but there's a lot of bs too.

you are aware the gulf coast has a lot of ports for imports and exports. most gas comes out of "flyover country" and ends up at gulf export sites (see henry hub) and that's the big input to producing ammonia fertilizer.

they are also way too small to grow enough food for colossal cali cities. and most of that agricultural land east of the coast is very red. look how many people in east oregon want to deadass secede to idaho because they're so sick of portland's bullshit.

they'd go join "flyover country".

you realize most of the area by land in oregon and washington is very very red. and in a secession scenario they have a shitload more guns than the cities.

and even the parts that are less red probably wouldn't want to pipe the water down to cali latifundia. a lot of that area seems very culturally independent so i doubt they'd like being the breadbasket for something like the cali big cities.

and regardless yeah y'all do because population along the coast is very dense. you don't have enough space there to grow all that food for especially the big cali cities.

we don't need y'all, though.

has the "mcdonalds diplomacy" thing really worked out? because we've seen countries that were getting better (Iran) fall and countries that should have gotten better (Russia) fail to do so.

is it? most of the agriculturally and industrially productive land is out in flyover country. and depending on who you ask areas that are mostly agriculture qualify as "flyover" even if they're e.g. east oregon/cali/washington. new england is probably the one exception but it's small in terms of area and ag output.

that's by dollar value not calories. california produces a lot of fancy water-intensive stuff. flyover country produces mass nutrition.

facts, if there was a regulator some hackernews would be on here complaining about how it's "not hackable" or whatever.

sure, they're a big part of the reason i turned down an otherwise good position in new york state (along with higher taxes making it less competitive, not a big fan of the weather and don't much like the culture as a lifelong Texan).

nice site you built. where did you source the data?

the "law of small numbers" says 2 numbers can still be tiny in absolute terms even if they are orders of magnitude apart.

no, i favor keeping murder criminalized.

idk i've heard a lot of noise on companies paying for female employees to get abortions if they're unavailable in-state and imo it's a pretty good benefit in states with overly draconian laws. so i'm sort of hoping micron (and other companies who choose to expand in states that infringe on people's freedom) will announce a similar program to help employees access and exercise their gun rights.

dissapointed to see expansion in a high tax blue state with a trash tier record on gun rights. i can't find any mention of why they chose it, any ideas why?

edit: looks like water and seismic activity are the leading suggestions?

i assume you're using some larger unit but saying "per capita" because it's not possible to have more than 1 death per capita.

regardless when will y'all understand citing death statistics will not convince us to ban guns? we oppose it because we believe it's wrong to restrict a basic freedom not because death figures are under some magic threshold where we'd support it if the number went over.

you should be more worried about your kid walking by a busy street to and from school.

people have wanted to take our guns for a long time and this is just the latest cause to hang it on. ronald reagan tried it with racism. roosevelt and company tried it with mob violence. this is just the latest excuse.

there's absolutely people pushing for stricter gun laws especially at a state level. things are getting better but have a long way to go, we still have the FOPA, NFA, GCA and tons of other awful laws on the books.

i think you're confusing the massive and well-funded military lobby (the people who make 40mm autocannon) with the mixed civilian/military/police small arms industry (who make your everyday .223 AR-15). it's much harder to make it in the latter as a small businessman due to massively onerous regulation.

edit: tired of this. i own lots of guns and have never killed anybody. i had this same argument with somebody else yesterday over financial KYC: we do not fight crime by stripping law-abiding Americans of their freedoms and subjecting them to increased state control.

umm removing KYC requirements also allows people to transact privately. yes bad people can do bad things with freedom, news at 5. i'm aware of south dakota trusts and intend to use one in the next few years to protect my assets and operate privately.

fighting crime as crime isn't meaningless, it's how we're supposed to do things.

ahahahaha man who do you think is the one who added all this KYC shit and who scares companies into over compliance... and you want more regulation as a solution. we could start by removing all KYC requirements and fighting crime as crime instead of imputing some criminality to a financial transaction. like even if it's part of a criminal enterprise the transaction itself isn't the "wrong" part.

or... the feds stop requiring everyone to go through this KYC bullshit and we accept that anonymity or pseudonymity is hecking valid.

because it doesn't apply to my use case obv. i'm not doing any of those. but more generally there's usually a "easy win" to be made from doing a little final training on your actual target data. plus i've found it more reliable to store and distribute your own models so at least i'm the one making and shipping the black box. like NNs are hard enough to debug without relying on somebody else's as well.

is this any different from if another payment provider runs analytics on its own site?

not really, e.g. music can be much cheaper to start (find an old guitar/digital keyboard) though get expensive if you want good instruments later on, i guess. sure ash cheaper than my shooting habit tho :)

i mean that's just part of the exploit chain, looks like sony probably didn't keep the kernel up to date either. a browser is just the easy starting point bc it's a widely-understood piece of open source code an attacker can use.

its supposed to irritate the skin more or smth but i do it anyway and don't have problems

i would think a kernel dev would know to count higher by using binary on his fingers :)

i hope Linus skips that version or goes 6.6.5 to 6.7.0.

not necessarily. a lot of the people in WWI were young and lied about their age. say he was 16, so born in 1900. he and this person's dad could have very well had kids at 50 or so, i.e. father born 1950 and the person born in 2000 making him young. though he is probably a bit older than this.

yeah, i've read it. they're requiring people to write statements on whether/how their research advances the stated goals of the society in this area. next year, they will make it part of the scoring rubric for submissions.

here's the thing: "anti-racism" is being used as a motte-and-bailey argument. it's basically dogwhistling an intent to promote present discrimination (c.f. kendi) even if they're using a different definition that doesn't explicitly state that, because it's how that term has been widely used and understood. but when people take issue with it, they can be like "oh our definition doesn't say that." and ngl i find it pretty disingenuous.
