I have installed several dishwashers for friends and find them fascinating. All of the ones I have seen basically dumped the contents of the closing soap compartmens as soon as it started washing. Some dishwashers (looking at bosch) even have a little tray in the upper drawer that catches the pod.

its bad science. I can name zero times when the victim reacting with aggression in an effective way (i.e. hurting or shaming the bully) did not result in better behavior from the aggressor in the following confrontations. I have worked with children and adolescents a lot of years and people standing up for themselves are usually better off.

Now, there are some side notes: the standing up must be timely and appropriate. The revenge shouldnt be served cold and the revenge shouldn't raise sympathy for the bully.

it depends how big you want to scale it. This one must be quite costly by the look of it. I wouldnt be surprised if it costs multiple hundreds of thousands to realise this maquette.

this. i dont really believe it has to do with climate change. Is it a change in precipitation?

Yes! Everybody goose-step in unison as to not irk the administration? /s

People should behave more like the invertebrates we are and show some semblance of a spine. Now most have more semblance with snails and jellyfish. Yes they will survive but only because there are so many of them.

Liveleak is no more my good old friend

Just like drugs, but most people understand you should have respect for them.

Actually, what they mean is squatters. In many parts of Europe -especially germany and spain- it's quite normal for 16 to 25 year olds to squat abandoned buildings and live there until the police kicks them out. These kids tend to get intoxicated and do stupid stuff. Like ringing a bell in the middle of the night. The squatting thing is seen by many as a measure against speculation on living space and at the same time giving young kids a cheap place to live and get on their feet. In most places in Europe the squatting is semi-allowed because of remnants of old roman law. It's quite fascinating and -in my opinion- a tragedy that it is disappearing.

Probably aliens. That's my first thought on articles like this.

Yeah i made a small app to sell my fathers books. I scanned all the books by making pictures of the book shelves + books (collection of 15k books almost all non-fiction). Then fed them to different AI's. Combining mistralOCR and Gemini worked very very good. I ran all the past both AIs and compared the output per book. Then saved all the output into an SQL for later reference. I did some other stuff with it, then made a document out of the output and sent it to a large group of book buyers. I asked them to bid on individual books and the whole collection.

Too bad Hyundai is betting on hydrogen... Thats basically dead in the water.

Yeah this is a very weird logic. I would love some kind explanation of mpalmer.

Its the cool kids doing it. It's the same kind of h4x0r esthetics as the nyan cat or unicorns and beavers everywhere.

I can’t compete with you physically, and you’re no match for my brains.

This is only partly true. The fact that the OP is referring to is the fact that books aren't sought after. Many books that have been bought for a 100 dollars in 1980 are worth only a few dollars nowadays even if they are relevant. Not many people look for used books.

The poor dont necessarily get poorer. That is not a given in capitalism. But at some point capitalism will converge to feudalism, at that point, the poor will become slaves.

And if not needed, culled. For being "unproductive" or "unattractive" or generally "worthless".

That's my cynical take.

As long as the rich can be reigned in in a way, the poor will not necessarily become poorer.

Some people believe the earth is flat. I doubt that the invention of the electric car will be attributed to musk. The invention of the car is not attributed to Ford either...

The longest run up until now... But you shouldnt be so sure that it is still a democracy and you shouldnt be so sure that the fact it was kept a democracy for so long was because of free speech absolutisme. I for one, think that the US of A has lost a lot of its narrative in the last 20 years. I think its the narrative that kept it a democracy until now.

The UI is still wrong.

The perfect calculator is an LLM that calculates it for you.

/Jk (but really tho, like a nice Wolfram alpha)

No but I want to see a normal calculator immediately. Maybe some tabs that allow me to change functions.

Its not a strawman. The argument is: because you need the other people in the society. You need them for basically everything. You have built your life on shoulders of others. Everything you can do, you can do because you profit from other's labour. That is why. You would not have culture, language, computers, roads, garbage collection, nursing homes, music to listen to, etc. You have enjoyed all these things "at the expense" of the people who did that for you.

Because if all these people are forced to do what you do, because nothing else pays their bills, your income will go down.

Also, all the people who cant do what you do, should they just curl up and do fentanyl? What do you propose they should do?

This is exactly right. "Might makes right" is very true on the international stage. The ICC tried to fix that, but they have been muzzled when it comes to real might.

I have always found this idea of not being smarter somewhat baffling. Education makes people smarter does it not? At least that is one of the claims it makes. Do you mean that a baby hunter gatherer from 25000 years ago would be on average just as capable of learning stuff when integrated into society compared to someone born nowadays? For human beings 25.000 years is something like 1000 generations. There will be subtle vgenetic variations and evolutions on that scale of generations. But the real gains in "smartness" will be on a societal level. Remember: humans without society are not very different from "dumber" animals like apes and dogs. You can see this very well with the cases of heavy neglect. Feral children are very animal-like and quite incapable of learning very effective...

"Statiegeld" in the netherlands. It already exists for at least as long as I live.

Came here to say this. The production of a plastic bag costs somewhere in the range of 0.05 cents to produce. If you would factor in the impact on the environment it would probably cost a few cents. Which, given the insane amount of plastic bags that are consumed each day. Would be significant.

I actually think they missed a chance here. They could have made the code in such a way that it anonymizes the receiver. Only japan post would know where this person lives.

Its like saying:

Ah, but these wizards created a magical entity that can also do magic! Wizards must not be so special after all...

No this is incorrect. The VAT is paid by all the steps in the line and reclaimed until it hits the final seller. That seller collects the VAT and pays it to the taxman. If you import something into a European country, you pay VAT but the VAT is reclaimable basically immediately. Many European countries allow you to postpone the payment of vat as long as you are VAT-registered in that country. You can then declare it to your VAT tax return and basically deducted in the same return. So although the vat might give some cashflow problems, you cannot put it in the same ballpark as a tariff or import tax.
