That's so the one central point of air ingress is the one with the filter. Air still gets in - through the filter.

If there's no other burger joint in the small town it's the only place I can get burgers.

I agree Google is using a tax here but the rule you suggested doesn't work

Slavery: one party makes you pick cotton or you aren't allowed to eat or sleep.

Not slavery: one party makes you supply widgets or you aren't allowed to eat or sleep. Another party gives you widgets for picking cotton.

We should all be happy to participate in the not slavery society, right? We should all feel great because we aren't slaves.

The app store is full of crappy and malicious software though. Why pay them for something they aren't doing anyway?

it's actually Google being parasitic on all the apps' infra. I paid for the app store infra when I bought my phone, and every time I open it and see ads, and with my tracking data for the NSA. They don't need to be allowed to quadruple dip.

You're free to make one, and bank apps are often less locked down than you think - try them yourself instead of accepting possible FUD. Also your bank 100% has a checkbox on your account they can click to disable any phone hardware requirements on your account.

They can treat their customers like livestock because their customers are okay with it. Why is that?

My hypothesis: turkeys think the farm is an amazing life until the week before Thanksgiving. Nobody really groks that Google is shit until it's too late.

Google lets these forks do anything they want except things that take away money from Google.

This definition doesn't work, because my only choice when buying a burger at Dairy Queen is to pay the burger's price or walk away too, but it's not taxation.

How do you define taxation?

Right but they didn't want to stop air coming in. They just wanted all incoming air to be filtered.

what a nothing burger. This is only enough to power a government spy satellite, which is surely what this is actually an excuse for. A chatbot data center will need orders of magnitude more than that.

I didn't understand the purpose as pressurising the structure. I understood the purpose as ventilating the interior, providing a central place to attach a filter, and preventing air from coming in from other places.

Dwarf Fortress says hi

Factorio's sprite approach uses hundreds of MB of PNG files and several GB of VRAM for what could've been less than 10MB of textured triangles.

Ocarina of Third Time's the Charm?

In the vein of "intentionally old 3D graphics" it's not quite the same thing but I'm reminded me of the old indie horror game movement where a lot of them were pixelated, low color depth, and low fog distance because those things help the scariness.

Yes. There's a risk Anthropic AIs won't be able to hack or kill people. There's no risk that OpenAI AIs won't.

What if it's only 1% of air escaping

"No stories right now"

The y axis is hype

What it's called: Ben

You don't get rich by writing a lot of cheques!

They sounded pro-surveillance because they are pro-surveillance. The better question should be why a pro-surveillance person making pro-surveillance points felt the need to start with "I'm not pro-surveillance but". Perhaps they know their position is very unpopular and are hoping this magic spell will ward off some criticism?

Engaging charitably with the bullshit means the bullshit wins.

What if the state threatens to take away all your money if you don't do that?

Haven't they already won? If you support Palestine you get expelled now. If the university doesn't expel you it gets defunded now.

And Hitler said he was just defending his country from the evil invaders. Bad people always have excuses and if they're good at being bad, they have excuses that work well.
