What a clown show.

I'm very sure that Trump just announced the ceasefire to save face and brag that his threats worked to get the strait reopened, and the whole thing will be just a ruse to regroup for further attacks.

I can't see cooler heads in Washington agreeing to these 10 points, and Israel will certainly have something to say.

If these points are agreed, it's a catastrophic strategic defeat for the US.

They already lost most of their bases in the region (13/18 I believe), and would now have to evacuate the rest. We've learned that American military is not so mighty after all.

America's reputation as upholding a rules-based world order is in the toilet.

Iran will emerge as the dominant regional power, with global leverage and a steady extra income due to their complete and accepted control of Hormuz.

The smaller states will be scrambling to find a new international security partner, and China seems like a likely candidate.

The Petro-dollar is likely toast.

I mean if Vlad Putin himself were to direct every decision Trump has made, he could scarcely have done a better job of damaging America and disrupting the world order. Making America Grotesque Again.

Surely they could offer a cheaper 'unregulated, no guarantee' AI interpretation with a confidence rating, and an optional follow-up 'are you sure?' expert assessment at full price.

OTOH they're probably planning to charge full price anyway, but massively reduce costs, because, profit.

perhaps they're not directed at deeply embedded lone spies with radios in their attics, but at 'military assets' which as a matter of course can receive these transmissions on a designated schedule.

Fewer and fewer, as the whole world electrifies.

so much for 'democracy'

keep voting until you get the right answer

at least EU are voting I suppose. some governments just go ahead and mass-surveil illegally

Recommended stack for this? Wordpress?

I can immediately some problems to do with content formats. Fro example, facebook lets you have a 'montage' of photos, but instagram only shows one. The music available is heavily restricted on different platforms. Video length limits are different. Etc.

Does any software let you make a main post on your own site, but then render differently to the silos?

lol, the website reminds me of tropes like the professional cleaner whose house is messy, the chef who eats instant noodles at home, or the haut couture fashion designer who only wears jeans and tees. The colour expert whose website is monochrome.

This looks like a blame allocation exercise to me.

The seniors will now be directly responsible for all the AI slop that goes in. But how can they possibly properly review reams of code to a sufficient degree they can personally vouch for it?

I'm beginning to think that the problem of 'late capitalism' is quite related to the ability of companies to acquire other companies.

Thereby eating their competition, either by stifling upcoming competitors or to gain degrees of monopoly power by joining with peers.

What would the world look like if you you simply could not do that?

anyway, another vote here, for anti-capitalism

it's a nearly useless shadow alphabet

and we can dispense with much other punctuation

if we simply structure text semantically

The navigation is broken on this for me. If I zoom in, the mouse panning is still at the zoomed out level. I mean I have to move the mouse increasingly accurately and in small increments as I zoom in, as though I'm still panning the zoomed-out map. And the zoomed-out map itself is not exactly fluid.

Exactly, massive price increases with the fake tariffs, hiring freezes because 'AI can do it all', who knew these things might affect jobs?

"American heroes may be lost", Trump said. He argued this would be a necessary price to pay to inflict damage.

lol. "Some of you will lose your lives. But that's a price I'm willing to pay"

I usually have egg on toast with plenty of butter. The combination sits squarely in the dark region I think.

I also get up early and it is often actually dark.

what a mess

and, i'll bet, just the first of many

This seems obvious but I guess needs 'official research' to register.

A quote I remember from a coleage - 'They wouldn't give me a pay rate rise, so I gave myself one, by working less hours in a day'

This wouldn't be so bad if the connections were standardized, but every manufacturer has their own standard, and sometimes don't even stick to it across their own products.

If this was standardized, you'd just buy a new blade/connector or jar from whoever, and in fact you'd have a wide choice of specialist jars and blades to choose from.

The concept of re:mix is great (and the name), but at €350 it's irrelevant. Make the standard open and free, maybe get EU persuade it's use, and let manufacturers build around it at realistic prices.

It did not appear to me that she attempted to run him over - just to get away.

So sad for the way your country is going, thanks to just one man and his sycophants or manipulators, and worried for the implications around the world.

exactly wtf is up with this website, firefox doesn't show t's, random f's, d's - it's a complete mess.

You want to speed-run the bible?

I'd like a 'true or false' game based on those quotes, but then it might be unbalanced.

This has been planned since Trump's first term, so it's definitely not opportunism, but at the same time I think you're right that there's a personal element.

But it's overwhelmed by the geopolitics. China invests in minerals all over the world, but this is literally America's backyard, and America does not want to cede control.

This has been planned since Trump's first stint, where he declared fentanyl to be a 'weapon of mass destruction', and Maduro to be a 'narco-terrorist' (never mind that the fentanyl comes from China via Mexico).

This was a new term at the time, shifting drugs from a police issue to a military one, and obviously trying to manufacture consent for military intervention.

But Trump wasn't re-elected in 2020 so the plan stalled for 5 years. Now it's back. The military didn't 'asses threats' or whatever other garbage this piece claims, this is long pre-meditated.

But, the oil story is not quite what it seems either. Sure Trump wants to get his hands on all that oil and other resources, that's probably the only part he understands (and 'bad hombres').

But far more important for the Pentagon and people with actual brains, is to thwart China's influence in America's 'sphere of influence'. Venezuela is literally America's backyard, and the last time that was severely violated by a peer power, it almost led to armageddon (Cuba).

Think of it like getting AI to write your boilerplate and that annoying-to-use API, so you can focus on the architecture and the difficult bits.

Sinclair zx80 then an Acorn Atom when I was a kid. You couldn't do much with them if you couldn't program, so...

Thanks. Should I include the underscores?

oh no, that might put upward pressure on Amazon employee salary demands!

This is great keep going.

I find mis-en-place is a great optimization, especially if you have kids.

For hot water, I have a 2L thermos which I keep filled with boiling water to make hot drinks, with a quick reboil if necessary, and also to use as cooking water. I think there are plumbed in versions of this which would be even better.

Bread-making - I just use a bread machine to make day-to-day bread (specials hand baked etc on weekends sometimes.) For the daily, I pre-measure ingredients (both wet and dry) for 10+ loaves, individually packaged (kids are a great production line again). The to make the bread, just throw in the packets and press the buttons...

No doubt most people already do this, but for some reason my wife can't get it .. keep everything in the same place all the time. It really wastes time and 'stressergy' to have to hunt for the measuring spoons or the molasses or whatever because they were put back in a different place.

I'm sure commercial chefs could add a huge list of tricks that are still applicable at home to this.

It's a war now?

And far beyond the region

If you have to do this 4-5 days a week, sure, but what if you only have a couple of days of meetings? Seems ideal just as a cheap and safe place to crash privately for a night.
