> We've analyzed the text that accompanies more than 800,000 vaporwave tracks, from 2010 to present day

Impossible. Hit Vibes killed vaporwave in 2013.

Edit: Nevertheless, critical support for even acknowledging the genre's political origins.

The limit is 10,000 people. If those spots weren't already filled before the announcement was made, they are now.

> value add

The proper phrase is "add value." You're welcome.

> Do they not have self respect seeing the bad quality product they’re throwing up on billions of people every day?

In the society I live in, self-respect doesn't pay the bills. I don't know where you're from.

I wonder how powering it would work? It would need a separate PSU.

Or maybe Disney knows they have children.

> I wonder how the working paradigms and, importantly, the tools, got defined as they are.

Answer: The profit motive.

A cheap retort would be that the profit motive has produced so many great things as well. I am comfortable holding two contradicting ideas in my mind at once, but we need to be careful. The history of computer technology development, including all of its most groundbreaking technological discoveries, is overwhelmingly built on top of publicly funded research with no foreseeable path to profit at the time.

Humans are far more driven by the quest for love, justice, dignity, and discovery than profit. Until we reorganize our society accordingly, we can only expect our greatest accomplishments to be exploited and dismembered by the pursuit of profit.

Markets don't have a choice. US dollar dominance is backstopped by US military dominance.

literally who?

Any flying car post without a video will reasonably be assumed fake/spam.

Capitalism has stages.

I actually have an extension that adds a little expandable section called "Hidden Files" at the bottom of the explorer pane, where I can open it and add a check beside the files I want to hide. In some projects, I change it at leisure, which usually means I'm hiding any files that never have any bearing on my day to day work. Sorry I don't remember the exact name of the extension.

In our society, institutional education is increasingly necessarily a for-profit pursuit. Regardless the intentions of any entity involved, the structural (or, institutional) first priority must be profit.

On the part of the pupil that pays for an education, their relation to the teacher and institution is limited by their competitive pursuit of a career.

Altogether, anything which risks the institution's potential for profit or the individual pupil's competitive edge in the career market is unsustainable in the aggregate (or, "at scale" in HN lingo). If education itself is compromised, then so be it. This is the norm for good reason. There is no alternative (under capitalism).

Yeah that's what I use when I care enough

Or hide them with your IDE if they disturb you so much

The ACA was overwhelmingly a landslide giveaway to private insurance corporations, who have used that taxpayer money to multiply their lobbying influence. The # of insured Americans has only increased a hair more than the total US population, while the cost of insurance and cost of healthcare services have greatly increased in the time since.It's a classic case of Democratic Party means testing and bureaucratization.

It would not be a control at all

Nobody in their right mind should be defending the ACA imo, and nobody here has done so as far as I can tell. Your comment is a special kind of annoying. Multiple strawmen.

> Large business wastes just as much money as govt

Delineating them is a fools errand from the start.

The preconditions for your vision simply cannot exist under capitalism.

> which would also violate our understanding of the world quite a bit.

Are we discussing science or public relations?

Unlike most things in the comments above, I have no clue what you are talking about and highly doubt many people do.

And we can only reason that they are not. As parent correctly implies, the purpose is risk reduction. A well implemented system will accept false positives, as we saw with the recent Amazon doorbell debacle.

It's a historic city with small lots which probably makes it a lot easier, and I think the ban only covers certain areas. I couldn't tell you all the details because I only moved here recently, but they banned selling a few years before banning using them. I do see some commercial landscapers still using those wide ones that you sit on like a throne and control with joysticks or something, and I'm sure a lot of people without permission still use gas powered but not on my street.

This just reminds me how thankful I am to live in a city that has outlawed gas powered weedwackers.

According to ChatGPT 4, US-based cloud providers are not necessarily legally required to inform or disclose sharing your data with or selling your data to the US government.

> Maybe inflation is corrosive for investing but maybe it is not bad for the average Joe.

*The average homeowner

This is the only thing that makes sense.

Should be illegal

> Then life happens and that shit gets dropped by the wayside.

Correction: It's not profitable.
