EasyMark··on New gel restores dental enamel and could revolutionise tooth repair
You can buy it from overseas.
EasyMark··on New gel restores dental enamel and could revolutionise tooth repair
If you have sensitive teeth both nHAP and novamin toothpastes help a lot there. I've tried both. nHAP is easier to get in the USA, there are several brands, for some reason some go nuts over the imported ones from Japan.
EasyMark··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
New York City is only extreme left wing if your baseline is Tucker, Oklahoma
EasyMark··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
But cuomo didn’t win?
EasyMark··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
I think it’s likely around 75% of his agenda will be blocked. NYC is a big ship to turn. However it will still be better than what Cuomo would have done
EasyMark··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
I’m not sure your understand that almost none of his price control “wants” are likely to be enacted. City government is pretty moderate and Mamdani isn’t a dictator
EasyMark··on ICE and CBP agents are scanning faces on the street to verify citizenship
Anyone who doesn't think this won't be used against regular citizens is living a very sheltered life. Vote out the clowns every time you get a chance.
EasyMark··on Nearly 90% of Windows Games Now Run on Linux
Next laptop is probably going to be the quietest PC I can find that still runs linux. I love my Air but I've been eyeballing a new system as my M1 is getting a little long in the tooth
EasyMark··on Amazon confirms 14,000 job losses in corporate division
I think stuff like this will eventually pull Bezos back in.
EasyMark··on Apple loses UK App Store monopoly case, penalty might near $2B
1% of annual revenue per week until the problem is fixed would absolutely have them adjusting policies.
EasyMark··on Apple loses UK App Store monopoly case, penalty might near $2B
True but doesn't it set a precedent for multiple more 2 billion dollar law suits until they fix the problem?
EasyMark··on Mosquitoes discovered in Iceland for the first time
Much shorter breeding season so maybe evolutionary selection made them even more aggressive than the typical US swamp mosquito. The worst I've ever encountered here in Texas some kind of deer fly, and they're tough and bloodthirstily agressive. I have backhanded them 20ft and they come back for more.
EasyMark··on US hits $38T in debt. Fastest accumulation of $1T outside pandemic
Just more data to show the Musk "doge" team was complete BS and their sole purpose was to disrupt regulatory departments to his and the broligarch advantage. All the drama was just a smokescreen while they gutted bodies that regulated their business interests.
EasyMark··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
We'll just build our own docker image, it's not a huge task
EasyMark··on Internet's biggest annoyance: Cookie laws should target browsers, not websites
I agree, the context of the website/topic/whatever should be more than enough to derive enough to load an add. On a hackerspace page? put up some rpi or DMM add. On rock music site? Thow up some vinyl adds or guitar tabs. Etc.
EasyMark··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
Usually it's the short notice that gets peoples' hackles up. It's kind of a dirty trick. Everyone knows things can change.
EasyMark··on Public trust demands open-source voting systems
One of the few things I was happy with Texas legislation this year was moving all to paper ballots. They still use the "bubble counter" machinery though and not human eyeballs. But it's not like it still relies on honest people and a government that is neutral when it comes to counting votes. That's starting to look like it is less and less possible with the current regime's banana republic chaos.
EasyMark··on Replacement.ai
I think your percentage might be off by a decimal, make it 0.5% and broligarchs. Maybe that's why they've gone crazy with spending trillions in the AI bubble, trying to position themselves as far up the chain as possible. 99.5% of humans will be wasted resource sinks to them and seen as "unnecessary"
EasyMark··on Replacement.ai
But the only government that could "fairly" operate such a government would be a rational AI with a limited set of rules meant to maximize human wellness. Humans will always fail at such a government as we have seen in the past. Greed always overwhelms good intentions in the long run
EasyMark··on IDEs we had 30 years ago and lost (2023)
Yeah if you know c++ decently, you can whip up a basic app pretty quickly.
EasyMark··on EVs are depreciating faster than gas-powered cars
bad for new car buyers, great for us used car people, so there is a silver-green lining to this whole affair.
EasyMark··on Ireland is making basic income for artists program permanent
Can't it be a start? As people start get replaced my tech and still have the need to feed/shelter themselves, maybe piecemeal is the only way it happens. We all move into hives while billionaires become trillionaires and allow the rest of us exist under their benevolent and generous mercy.
EasyMark··on Apple M5 chip
wasn't there a workaround for those apps that might not ever get updated? I thought I saw something on reddit. Some config change
EasyMark··on Apple M5 chip
This is why I stay on previous release until at least 0.2 or 0.3 to let them work out the bugs so I dont' have to deal with them, there was nothing in 26 that felt pressing to me that I would need to update
EasyMark··on Ofcom fines 4chan £20K and counting for violating UK's Online Safety Act
I can see Trump looking at this as a great policy if it will give him more power. I wouldn't count on him -ever- choosing less fascism
EasyMark··on Ofcom fines 4chan £20K and counting for violating UK's Online Safety Act
It still is but current SCOTUS of US has lost a lot of credibility in essentially making Presidents 4 to 8 year kings who can't be sued or charged with a crime. There are other things like the newer judges lying while under oath that they weren't joining up to end decisions on civil rights and ending abortion as a basic right.
EasyMark··on Ofcom fines 4chan £20K and counting for violating UK's Online Safety Act
Does 4chan actually get profits from the UK or have offices/servers there? If not how can they do anything to them? Seems like it would be the UK's responsibility to block access to it rather than the inverse if 4chan doesn't have a presence there.
EasyMark··on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom
that's not a problem if the people who will be interacting with fork lifts stay in designated areas as do the forklift operators. Nothing is ever going to b 0% chance of an accident but simply adhering to basic rules should keep people on an assembly line listening to spotify from taking a forklift to the knee. Have you ever worked on a factory floor at all? Sure some positions would be impossible but not for 80-90% of them.
EasyMark··on America is getting an AI gold rush instead of a factory boom
I know several mechanical engineers who ended up in semiconductor processing and they make bank. Maybe not senior google coder/engineer money but probably in top 10% of senior engineers easily
EasyMark··on Modern iOS Security Features – A Deep Dive into SPTM, TXM, and Exclaves
It can be both things, security and user lock in, those are orthogonal goals.
