Misskey is way more interactive. Dang!

Headline confused “despite” and “due to”

There’s a common thing known as “judge shopping”. The big wigs and those with enough money can ensure that a trial goes to a court in an area that is likely to be favorable to their interests.

For example, if a company is going to court because of something environmental or anti-worker, they’ll try to get the court session held in a conservative jurisdiction.

I see these things all over Latin America and stayed at a bunch of places that have them. It can get SUPER hot. The cool thing about them is that the pipes that heat the water are vacuum sealed and don’t heat the water directly. I forget the exact mechanics of it, but it pretty much doesn’t matter what the temperature is. It can take that solar energy and add it to water.

The first thing I did when I found a hat was put it on my character. Also, sick hat. Straight out of the bayou.

I don’t think you’ll be complaining on any of them. Was having gigabit nice? Of course, but 350 is plenty. Most services won’t even transfer that quickly to you and you can run a lot of video streams on that.

But the main way to tell would be if your router has a traffic meter on it since it has all devices going through it. Otherwise if you’re mainly on PC you can use the task manager to see how much is going on and out

Low effort? I thought winning a tournament was big effort!

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

Renewable biomass: burning forests before you turn them to coal

About 50 hours and just got my ass handed to me by Fist guy or whatever at the inn while most of my party had 1 HP left, so there’s that. This is my first playthrough.

It looked like it was a combination with that and the chemical they washed it with. Also, for this particular product, it isn’t healthy to use the sulfur treatment, it seems. The producers said something to the effect of, “we know this will cause problems for people, but the fruit is prettier and we get better prices for them”.

The news company said that they tested them as well and found them to be toxic.

If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it

While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.

Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.

I just read the 25 pages and they used a lot of hard data from China’s own databases, though the data is very limited access and particularly opaque even when compared to other regions according to the report, and it looks pretty compelling.

Edit: I’ll add that I’m changing my mind about it. I used to believe it, then I started to distrust it, but now I guess I’m coming back to it. What’s pretty wild is I’ve watched videos of people going to Xinjiang and it looks totally normal. Mosques everywhere, arabic text, people smiling, etc. Then on top of that it’s pretty clear that western capital wants to reduce China’s gains, so of course we’re happy at these reports.

But the quickest way to clear it up would be for China to let the UN come and look and interview people, but they aren’t. I do recognize that UN investigations tend to come with US spies, but I don’t really see what’s over there to hide, anyway.

What a bunch of snowflakes. I like the idea. This was my first thought though

Capital demands growth. It doesn’t care how you do it. It doesn’t track or reward whether you did it by making the world better or by creating death squads and working with the CIA to kill thousands of people and overthrow a government that wanted to charge you taxes and limit the amount of land you could have.

It’s been this way, and worse, for a long time. But bear in mind that Twitter gave us the ability to see how billionaires think. Modern media made them more accessible. They didn’t change, our knowledge of them did.

While I don’t necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn’t save, and I couldn’t find it.

a lot of AI is really just fancy statistics stuff. Years and years ago, I was doing an introductory lesson on some AI tools and the example given was predicting the price of rent or the price of a house. There’s likely a mixture of the statistics part to predict and the algorithmic part to increase the amount and see if people bite.

It turns out, most will when everyone is using it bc being homeless kinda sucks.

Funny thing about that, I used to do sound stuff and we’d tell people to practically kiss the mic. Just put it right on the chin and make out with it. Not the last part, but just about that haha
