'The more I see of what you call civilisation, the more highly I think of what you call savagery.'

  • There can be at max 6 month age difference.

  • The difference is that the most under invested real economy promises little to no profits because of saturation, while these techbros are always ready to promise the moon from the sky. Nothing gets done and less flashy industries stay uncompetitive.

  • All of these wacky silicon valley startups popping up just shriek very loudly that there is too much capital and not enough real economy to invest all that money into.

  • Then you need method of power transmission, usually microwaves or lasers, both come with energy losses. With microwaves you need a reliever and those can get about the size of a solar farm.

  • The man with golden gun only had a ground based "laser" powered by "solar energy". Die another day had an actual "burning ants with a magnifying glass" tier orbital solar deathray.

  • So what does this mean for android developer verification and sideloading?

  • Ofc they can't google, meta and Microsoft are the three pillars of US intelligence gathering network.

  • There are always a lot of good news. The goods news just don't make 'good news' for the news companies. Nobody wants to read that x metric is slightly better now, disaster was averted, or slight progress was made in world changing new technology. That doesn't sell subscriptions or bait clicks.

  • You mean in term of internet archives mission and where it can do the most good? I would agree.

  • Nah, you just mistake Trump's "aesthetics" and constant PR disasters for a change in substance of how US is fundamentally run and functions.

  • Then the question is "just why".

  • How do they manage the grease? There is bound to be some, even in chicken. I would think it's worse than water because it never evaporates and just stains everything if it starts floating.

  • I didn't even know that some games have proton blocked on purpose.

  • The bad thing with US government is that nothing ever changes. The good thing with government is that nothing ever changes.

  • Or this is what the admins want you to think.

  • I honestly don't care about these 'Trump said or did something stupid' ""news"". I get it that his sundowning as hard as Biden did. Tell me if he nukes of threatens to nuke something.

  • It just radiates the "poverty is a sin and sinners must be punished" vibes.

    Not that I would disagree that drug addicts and mentally ill people need to be treated, by force if necessary. Does it just have to be so fucking dehumanizing. Also most of these people need a house of their own for "a cure" not an internment cell.

  • The upfront cost of entering the market getting higher and higher as an industry matures is one of the major reasons why we have incomplete competition and monopolies. If as a scrappy underdog you "just" need to build a network of serverfarms and hire the people to design, manage and run all that so you can just even start to dream about competing with the goliaths that basically have all that built and more then in practice you are not entering that market. That upfront cost is the issue, not the cost of running it in the long run.

    It's not even some malicious plot, it's just the cost of doing business in a maturing market gets higher as technology advances. All these cloud providers know this upfront cost issue. White it's easier to start with AWS they will try to keep everybody locked in so they can milk every cent out of their techofeudal peasants living in their fiefdom if they ever make it. If anybody wants to get out they need to cough up the cash to build all that infrastructure while still paying for Amazon to keep them going.

  • Not what I really meant. I was after that one has to trust them to actually provide a suitable and representative coverage on all the papers released on the subject.
