Fantastic movie by the way. Worth rewatching a couple of times

What does that graph look like in the last decade? Surely Covid times show a big blue spike?

I wonder if it would be illegal to employ this method. Tracking law enforcement isn’t explicitly illegal, right?

If the attack causes the original key to no longer work, imo the major threat vector is someone sitting in a parking lot, capturing key presses, performing the attack, and forcing the user to tow+re-program the key as a nuisance, rather than stealing the vehicle

I just scrapped an ICE mower for a battery powered one. No more winterizing, changing oil, or worrying about filling with gas. I still don’t like mowing, but it sucks a little less now

How are you going to get more than an LED’s worth of chemical energy out of a plant that was fed only an LED’s worth of energy?

Also, I find this goal equally as dystopian as big ag is currently. Just plant a garden and tend it

So you think the better solution to doctors not being able to try is for them to self-host a speech to text translation systems, rather than teaching doctors to type faster?

That your thing is bad and should be opposed doesn’t mean another thing is also bad and ought be opposed

Only if you consider voluntary interpersonal economics a dark pattern

The Denver Metro Area has been booming for close to 20 years. It was one of the few localities that continued positive economic growth through the 2008 recession

I guarantee with 100% certainty that if you were in a landlord position, you would be asking the highest rent that would keep your units occupied. You call it greed now, but landlords it’s simply business. You negotiate the highest salary you can, right? And the lowest car purchase price? And go to the cheaper of the two gas stations? Why is okay for you to be discerning but not a landlord?

Why?

Why would we consider bailing out entities that are financially solvent? These homeowners may have an underwater investment, but they (presumably) can still pay the mortgage to get it paid off

How many situations could you imagine that keeping a dome light on is more important than being able to start the vehicle the dome light resides in?

I wouldn’t suggest that Christianized culture is necessarily superior, but I’m also not completely sure that every culture necessarily has the same value, and is equally worth preserving

Which includes a fascinating role of religion! Guarding secrets and issuing warnings, even though they don’t understand the underlying reason. Science of the time can’t figure out why the warnings are necessary, so culture partially ignores them, to its own peril

I, for one, would love to know where the exact breakdown between “microwave a bagel” and “faster-than-light-travel” occurs such that it wouldn’t be possible. In certain situations, I could absolutely see myself saying “that’s a great question!”

Not everyone is the same, some questions are pertinent, or funny, or interesting to some people but not others

I’m so glad to hear other people have had issues with these stupid cheap docks. I’ve burned through three of them over the last few years. It seems that not routing laptop charging power helps, but doesn’t solve the issue. Stupid cheap products.

You guys really think allowing a bunch of kids without fully developed decision making and reason brain structures vote is a good idea?

There should also be a limit on making sure the voter has “skin in the game” like owning property or otherwise instantiated in the community.

Hey, this is kind of a rude response in an otherwise thoughtful and empathetic thread

It’s interesting to see how many people in this thread have the same idea. I’m doing something similar and learning that hardware is just plain hard

The relevance is readily apparent to people who aren’t grumpy yahoos.

Oh boy this is all mixed up. Mars is red, are you thinking of Mars. Venus is the opposite direction to us from Mars

Were they doing well before?

They aren’t.

Does violating ToS change your decision making?

I get an ad-free YouTube experience for $0 with software. Why do you pay for it?

That’s quite a stretch. I loathe ads as much as anyone else here, but I don’t consider being exposed to them as violating the sanctity of my mind (is my mind even sacrosanct, such that it could be violated?) it’s just something I don’t like.

And yes, attention is absolutely a currency that can be used to pay for things. Like any other voluntary transaction, no one is entitled to my attention unless we both voluntarily agree to it.

I thought you weren’t supposed to ground faraday cages, is that not the case?
