Show them on the doll where twitter touched you (smh) :p

It sounds like Elon and his geek maestro entourage are leaning the backend out to get a better grip on the systems. Seems legit.

Its like a holiday for his tech engineers, I'm sure.

Edit: never used social and even HN has made me laugh so hard at quite a few hair-brained things.. I thought it was a geek site

Are you sure smartphones are even relevant anymore? They seemed to have devolved into doing everything mediocre and are much like a dildo/toothbrush hybrid without clear instructions. Dialtone 2.0 sounds like a winner already. The seperation of data and dialtone.

And with influencer marketing, its like celebs decades ago harping about the health benefits of eating a placenta... Are you eating placentas to maintain health? All those vitamins and minerals... Yummy :/

Just because they invented it/said it, doesn't make it a good idea/product.

Product evolution is already well documented. The 1767 invention of carbonated water/soda water did not make large strides until 1886 and did not get HFCS until 1981-1984.

Notice how solar mppt controllers (or wind turbine controllers with dump load resistors) are lacking a "hydrogen electrolysis" load connector for excess?

Enough trickles make a flood (butterfly effect scaled), but on the same token, its like converting a pretty yard into an edible organic yielding space.

Diversification is now offering a lot more options that do not have toxic byproducts.

Just using excess capacity from solar transforms local hydrogen harvesting into a boost to many local economies (emptied/harvested weekly/monthly/quarterly to power local infra for example using an onsite storage cylinder and scheduling similar to trash pickup).

The sardine can neighborhoods cannot gaudy retrofit any of it, but an energy shed 50ft from a residence with new construction makes the applicable opportunities more than a pipe dream. They have to relocate the fire-hazard solar panels to a ground array anyways for reasonable insurance rates and right-sizing options for expandability as the technology progresses.

Wealth breeds health :)

If you listen closely, you can hear an ameoba laugh.

If the ameobas didn't have the guts to fix all the worlds problems, what chance does that leave boffins? Tri low bite as they might :p

I guess skynet is just another "Johnny come lately", late to the party and not biologically diverse enough to be original :)

Funniest comment tree I've read all day. Faith in humanity restored from a floppy :p

Still laughing that the normie mods couldn't distinguish between base64 and gibberish.

Thought this was a geek site :p

I personally got to skip the "AI training" free with every free service era, but didn't the 1st world move on from the inferior services with no privacy standards?

Its kind of funny that the "mimickers" can only mimick other "mimickers" in an AI generated data trained the AI kind of flattery way.

Just like the story of coal country, those that moved away, never went back :)

One step forward, three steps back seems popular with the obsolete crowds :p

Just more decoherence in the marketplace

With accurate accounting, it looks like quite a few industries are lagging behind in a 21st century make-over, in addition to oil and gas.

At this point, the media just confirms that they can't get accurate numbers for any methane emissions in 2022.

That explains the temperature increases being "unexplained" :p

That wasn't very nice in base64 :p

V2VsbCB0aGF0cyBub3QgdmVyeSBuaWNl

Kinda funny at the crypto spam level

(Original post in base64 was flagged for the crypto sarcasm I guess.. A base64 pun exchange would have been glorious on this topic)

I'm waiting to see defunct scooter art used in an exhibit at MOMA.

Twas a good era in creativity as I recall

Did you support putting Tokelau on the map with a free .tk domain?

The trivia folks have a lot of .fud to memorize nowadays

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_d...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domai...

.bs has nothing to do with the bahamas either (a pun well before the ftx shenanigans)

Was that "empathy equals manufactured crisis cubed"?

Science is hard :p

Caching db queries and media assets already got a big boost a decade ago going from spinning rust to ssd to even faster NVME.

Optimizing DB queries on spinning rust was an exciting experience though. Chasing milliseconds with caching and warming caches up still brings back good memories :)

Scale and architecture makes new designs much easier. 1Mb of code... A 100Mb database and 1Gb of media assets is becoming a relic like "big iron". Blank slate canvases should skip a lot of it.

Technology debt only gets harder to manage over time.

Have they really ever been known to have Internet etiquette?

And the yestercentury-types in the US forgot that it was the 21st century with all the bickering about old news.

It looks like a beer drinker does't like phytoestrogen.

I'm still laughing at the "phytoestrogen or flight response" :p

They could also use a quarter to do a coin flip if a marriage will end in divorce. 45% by 2021 estimates.

No ring, no alimony and no child support has free love written all over it in the 21st century.

Its obvious that it takes a lot of synergy nowadays to not be a statistic :)

Happily, individuals always have a choice :)

I've laughed several times already at "culture clumping" and "lifestyle clumping".

Being a technology native, I had good timing and got to grow up with the "golden library" that was the information superhighway.

The kids nowadays have to filter more tabloid info/illiteracy in a day than I had to in the course of years. I got to skip late-stage television too :p

Innovation in the 21st century is soooooooo much better than anything fiction has to offer.

Its more of a generational divide with the hyperpartisan gibberish. I always laughed when they said "voting for the lessor of two brain-dead illiterates stuck in the 18th century".

It looks like the indoctrinated offspring from that rabid environment just make a 3rd and 4th party easier to implement... To square up the 3 sides to every story and the fourth to make it interesting (FORE is a cool number in golf too).

A ho-nest days pay for a ho-nest days work is loaded with innuendos :)

And regarding renewables, diversification is a beautiful thing in the 1st world :)

Diversification is an interesting innovation in the 21st century.

Getting stuck as a head-in-a-fishbowl doesn't sound that appealing :/

It sounds similar to a ceramics art teacher getting silicosis in Austrailia.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-27/ceramics-teacher-sili...

Technology natives do have to be concerned with carpal tunnel syndrome as a workplace hazard or ergonomic deficiency as well.

As a technology native, a quiet environment is the same feeling as chilling in the zone (if working on something interesting). Its not a shared experience for sure.

I enjoy golf the same way (chlling in the zone during a good workout, similar to a runners high).

I also happened to enjoy over 20,000 one-on-one interactions with work experience and technology, with the majority of it face-to-face.

Being "all people'd out (not tired of people, just not seeking empty calories for the sake of it)" is a 21st century perk.

The 1st world has always enjoyed "peace and quiet" for their own personal reasons :)

Being on prescription meds is almost like the junkie paraphernalia with shooting up insulin and popping high bloodpressure meds.

Doesn't is sound like a biological crutch for low-quality habits (fake food, cascading health issues, unhealthy environments,etc)?

Hormone treatments appear to be guinea pig experiments with lifelong consequences.

Phytoestrogens could be an issue for some lifestyles.

https://nutritionfacts.org/2019/06/04/beer-phytoestrogens/

If you know your diet, you're not increasing estrogen in your own body

I watched both of Lustig's videos on fructose. A lot of interesting data.

The american heart association estimates a 60%-70% overweight/obesity ratio.

Individuals still choose their own lifestyle behaviors :)

I chose a diuretic as a beverage of choice and skipped the "phytoestrogen or flight" response :p

I'm sure that made someone laugh :)

I remember seeing a 60 minutes episode in the 1980's/1990's about Israel and incendiary devices shaped like toys with bright colors.

As far as culture goes, it looks like incendiary ballons are their new toy in the 2020's ...... That culture divide is obvious too.. Thats some deep seeded mental issues in that region.

I still laugh at all the warning labels on products in the states for obvious reasons. Its nothing compared to those other cultures

Agreed that healthy routines are very cool.

I know golf has a seniors tour, but always laughed at the thought of the NFL doing that (oh the humanity!) :p

Sedentary multitasking :)

If a country was not raised with privacy, the culture divide is more than obvious.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/blogs/et-commentary/lac...

I laughed at the caste systems being brought to US companies too, but India's stance on individuals only confirms why dropping tcp/ip makes sense in the 1st world.

WWIII can be between 3rd world countries :)

Ethipopia hosting some UN Internet meeting after cutting off pipes in its own country was a good laugh too.
