This could be the start of the next war, antiprivacy from Australia and antidoxing laws from elsewhere.

You trade it before other people realize the ponzi scheme is nearing its end. The question is which countries currency is not entangled with the US.

Now, do must click to renew. How many elderly are still paying for magic jack, AOL, or other vampiric services.

It is a journey:

Learning that you can deduplicate code.

Learning that deduplication causes coupling.

Learning how to inject behaviors.

Learning how to discuss problems before job hobbying someone else's code.

Learning that all code is really not what the end user cares about. They only care that it works and corporately you want to do it as cheaply as possible, privately you want to remain employable and increase your marketable skills. Everything else is a distraction.

Great now I can change behavior based on how someone calls function. This will be great for companies like Volkswagen skirting emissions tests, or making things work for sonarqube

Remember when the pizza companies backburnered the X minutes or it's free because their drivers killed people? Amazon must have a shorter memory than the 1990's.

I wonder how many humans have been "dealt with immediately" in the name of zero covid.

Why of all the info graphic did they call out the smelter as "illegal". The whole operation is, and it seems weird to single out smelting.

As a contrarian I hate it.

Naysaying fault finding and challenging norms serves to help people think through the problem and assess what might go wrong before it does.

This, while an amusing bot who poopoos every idea serves to critize without thought.

This isn't to downplay the work or amusement value, but people need to critically think through their ideas and think how will this fail, why isn't this a good idea, have we tried this before, if so how can we not fail the same way. If the bot could be taught the experience of the sage greybeards without the immediate I didn't think of it so I don't like it, this would move from novelty amusement to practical.

Extremely funny though.

Search engines return millions of results and most users never get past page 1.

Curating content for by subject matter and then aggregation and spidering the resulting content would yield better quality rather than quantity.

Decentralization with cooperative subscriptions would provide a good search population rather than the unfiltered firehose of the current web.

It is time for prosecution of Microsoft and companies using this feature under the wiretapping laws we have on the books. The other users of my network haven't consented to a company or Microsoft monitoring traffic.

Image detection is theft. It is either stealing compute cycles or network bandwidth.

If you work for a company advancing this technology you are evil and should rethink your life choices.

Don't like it? Organizations like the EFF have been working to stop overreach:

You can help financially, and contact each of your representatives and senators and request they act to stop this end run around the constitution.

Underwriting loans which the borrower has no ability to repay is fraud.

We should aggressively target universities who commit this type of fraud and seize their assets, buildings, real estate, donations and endowments to recoup the taxpayers money.

Hard to have faith in a government that chooses when to and when not to follow the rule of law. Judges are allowed to issue a stay.

It is precedented in the US

Although that is intentionally infection of HIV, not just a cough.

Government should learn from that self organized teams who work for passion build better software. Authoritarian dictators mandating a poor solution vs self lead, self organized, committed parents building a piece of software they will instantly dogfood.

How come the FBI doesn't find, and raid these guys and then anyone who buys it jail for buying stolen property?

Let's eliminate pointless jobs like waitstaff and retail point of sale operators.

People can order from a kiosk, or their phone.

Self checkouts remove the need for cashiers.

We no longer have people who punch buttons in the elevator for good reasons.

Want to be posh and still have these in your restaurant or store? Charge a premium and be prepared to pay people and give them benefits like health care.

Until we can automate cooks, busboys and dish staff those are the food service jobs available.

We need a higher level cashier to watch the automatic kiosks, but not cashiers.

Hopefully he pays Snow Crash's author royalties.

How would this work in America. Would you want Trump flagging harmful content? Would you want Biden flagging harmful content. Is a government still by the people and for the people when the oligarchy tells the people what to think, say, and believe?

"We are never ever ever getting back together." Facebook user base quoting 21 century poet laureate.

Hey you remember all those times we analyzed you photos, and those times we did things we said we wouldn't? We totally aren't going to do those now. We are "Meta" not the evil Facebook, trust us. "Meta" has never lied to you, right?

Have you considered you might be a narcissistic person?

If you are truly more intelligent, consider having empathy on those poor unfortunate souls who are not on your level and use vocabulary appropriate to the audience. Consider how they may relate and be polite without patronizing.

A government decision to label dissidents as enemies of the state and creating new political prisoners.

Let's call Google a publisher because it is and make it responsible for the content of every AMP page.

What would happen to New York if it had a peaceful protest like last year?

Cookies are part of the subpoena.

Try one of these

1. Try to live with out spending any money.

2. Donate plasma for a fee and then drink your earnings.

3. Buy an instrument and attend a music circle.

4. Pretend to have an instrument and attend a music circle.

5. Go to the library read one book from each shelf and repeat.

6. Travel to one city per state. Except jersey.

7. Try being a matchmaker and setup people with people who are really bad for each other.

8. Try learning a new dance.

9. Volunteer at the Zoo and try to kiss the animals when no one is looking.

UBI can be modeled in SimCity.

Turn off disasters.

First build a town with surplus cash with enough Healthcare, jobs, industrial areas, police and fire. Now grow your city until you unlock the ability to tax specific segments. Make sure your city is still in good condition before you start the experiment.

Clone the save file so you can run a control.

City A change nothing an let the Sim run for a year.

City B lower taxes for the low income to 0. Your city should have enough surplus income to make you not go into the red starting this experiment.

Post your results for the Tale of Two Cities simulation.

Edit:

Someone posted this:

And then deleted it, probably for fear of reputation or downvotes. Chilling discussion doesn't serve to educate or bring us closer together.

I am happy to see the link from Will Wright and it make a point perhaps we shouldn't trust the initial Sim City engine to modeling, but I would much prefer a person who never flew a plane but has spent time in a flight sim trying to emergency land a plane rather than someone who never flew a plane or used a flight sim.
