2001: A Space Odyssey, except HAL-9000 hit the token limit and was downgraded. Now the model is too stupid to open the pod bay doors.

It's worth mentioning that the ALPR's in the Florida keys are unavoidable due to it basically being 1 road.

What's even more amazing is that they had these safe cities without [Flock, Motorola, Axon]. I guess we will never know how they did it, but at least we get the Chinese surveillance state.

I wonder if we're going to see a different spin on dieselgate in the future. Where a car company collects all the data from the NHTSA's test environment through the cars cameras/sensors and then includes that data into the training datasets for other cars/sfw updates. (I'm not implying that this happened, but I imagine it would at some point)

PO boxes have stricter address information requirements but there are other services that are more lax and can pass with a utility bill from a previous rental address. Thus, obfuscating the real address.

Not everybody owns a home, particularly the transient workers who would be concerned with ICE.

I would recommend reading Extreme Privacy by Michael Bazzell if these types of thing concern you. A relevant passage:

"First, I would never provide my home address on any application or W-9 form. This should only be your PO Box, UPS Box, or PMB address. Your employer likely does not care much about where you live, unless the job has residency requirements, such as a police officer. The IRS does not object to the use of a mail box address. They just want their money."

You can concoct these make believe hypotheticals, or you can look at countries where this is the reality (South Korea; high elderly poverty), and how there is no "elderly employee accident crisis". Whether it is right, moral, just etc. is the issue. I would just say to not wait until retirement to "live your life".

They took down the repository ~20 minutes after OP's comment. Archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250423135719/https://github.co...

The "alleged inside job" is pretty clearly clickbait. It could still be a bad leak if that information is for privated accounts as well.

This is at best misleading, but basically disinformation. Here is a better explanation that is also specific to US/CAN trade under USMCA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZvDhayPHxs

I agree, but struggle to find fiction books to read. Most of my reading just consists of a historical period / event that I find interesting and read more about. From that I sometimes come across an "alternate history" type fiction book, but not much else. What do you do for discovery?

An interesting barometer of the tensions, is by looking at Canadian grocers website. All that I have seen, have "buy Canadian" and "produced in Canada" plastered onto most products. Even Walmart has a "made in Canada" tab.

Could you write your comment better than this? It's pretty obvious you are baiting someone into asking "why?". But your comment by itself adds nothing to the conversation.

Does anybody know how that would work? I know of the 3 ways of measuring GDP in econ basics (All income, All expenditure, All value add). I assume they only use one method and just pull out government? I assume it's expenditure method, but what would it mean for income method. Ignore incomes of gov employees? But then what about contractors. At what point do we start to view the number shifting as untrustworthy like China and Russia.

Do a background check to make sure employee has financial security to avoid damaging leaks.

Make employee feel job insecurity.

Profit?

For reference, the $100k CAD figure in the article from 2014 when USD/CAD was closer to parity (around 1 USD for 1 to 1.1 CAD)

Norway and Singapore are petro-states. Alaska and Texas (to a much smaller degree) have wealth funds off of resources. Whether they're fiscally responsible with that is up to the state.

I imagine that these apps are a valuable target for scammers to hack. People who are open to manipulation/affirmations from an AI are just a step away from victims of romance scams.

Regarding the going through courts part of this. It seems like they would have free choice in choosing where to sue from. cough 5th circuit cough With little effort from large stake holders they would be able to turn that check into a rubber stamp.

As an aside, I wonder if it would be possible to force a randomization of the court that would hear a case (for cases that are not bound to a location).

I use a cosmetic ublock origin filter (if you want to generalize it across all sites you need to change 'allowGenericProceduralFilters'). It would be something like ##span:has-text(/trump\b|elon\b|otheridiotwhosaysstupidthingsformediaattention/i).

I haven't touched Wayland because of a lack of window control tools, but don't know if the landscape has changed. Specifically to replace autokey, xdotool, wmctrl. I know kdotool exists for kde only which would cover most of xdotool, but I don't know about text expansion (autokey). Isn't most of Wayland's keybindings just remapping and not macros? I've written my own code to read dev files with elevated permissions so I think I'm fine with macros, but that might be too much work for other people. Would appreciate some Wayland users experience.

It is one. The other one is already out the door and just said "your problem not mine".

But if you play any online games it is a utopia. ~5 ping all day

If it gets them to the top of Everest, it would probably be the 5.5 mile high club.

The "factoid" about the German vote is false. It was a vote to adjourn the discussion. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-german-vote/

Isn't that just how they hedge bets? Their performance is correlated with the claims they receive. If fossil fuels perform poorly -> less environmental damage -> less claims. And vice versa

"I only believe in flat earthers from the US of A. Wouldn't want to be manipulated by any foreign governments".

There are so many useful idiots, they were never going to manipulate you directly, there's too many people.

I can't even tell how much of this comment section is astroturfed / bot driven anymore.
