  • The most expensive place

    Jump

  • I mean, this is just a given.

    Half a day in the ER in the Nordics might cost the same as a night at a cheap motel in the US. While the same time and treatement in a US ER could pay for a weekend in some of the more expensive hotels in the world.

  • They are scared of Europe

    Jump

  • And why you don't really see major conglomerations openly fighting back against EU regulations, only individual companies. Because they are scared to death of the EU fines that are based on percentage of total revenue.

    Something like the main Samsung company getting hit with one of the big fines would literally alter global economy, either way. Since the payment would be enourmous, and if they refuse to pay they'd be blocked from operating in the EU.

  • Alberta Premier Danielle Smith Floats Tax Discounts to Motivate Women to Produce More Babies

    Jump

  • Other countries have tried, and it doesn't work. You have to fix the larger issues.

  • 102 House Democrats, Including Jeffries, Help GOP Send Crypto Bill to Trump's Desk

    Jump

  • Are you just waking up from a coma? Because they've been pretty open about wanting to privatize the government and run it like a business. Mitt Romney basically campaigned on that over a decade ago.

  • Trump diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, press secretary says

    Jump

  • While that's one part, they had to say something because of that picture of his legs.

    CVI can cause swelling like that and is sort of treatable, but at his age another common cause of that ankle edema is late stage heart failure. As in "probably wouldn't last term" late stage. And that rumour spreading would cause him major issues, like people spending more money on Vance than him.

  • Gmail/Google starts disabling features unless you agree to data processing

    Jump

  • THe problem some people have is that it would do it without Gemini before, now it's "let us train our LLM on your data, or we remove features that work without it". They could add Gemini as a third oiption

    That is of course within their perogative to do, but you can argue that they're gatekeeping existing features to make people accept Gemini scraping.

  • Two years after the Unity controversy, how are things going with Godot?

    Jump

  • You are very much correct, and don't worry about the other comment. You see that elitist take scarily often in some of these communities. I saw one person try to argue that programs should be intentionally made less user friendly, to force people to become better at computers.

    They literally don't understand how most people think and only see things from their own tech perspective.

  • Privatize or downsize the USPS? Rural customers worry either option will hurt them

    Jump

  • I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: Conservatism is narcissism.

    You literally can't be conservative without having lower than average empathy. Because every single policy is intentionally designed to hurt someone.

  • Japanese political party wants video games and anime to be put under state authority to make sure they’re “wholesome,” and people are angry

    Jump

  • How you about you regulate child beauty pagants and and ban child marriage in your own country first. They make reality shows about thos pagants who sexualize real children and you're trying to act morally superior about animation.

  • Japanese political party wants video games and anime to be put under state authority to make sure they’re “wholesome,” and people are angry

    Jump

  • Put away your pitchforks. It's just a right wing populist/idiot party trying to garner attention.

    Trying to push this in Japan is literally how you get the quiet guy in the office to go postal. They'd need 24/7 police protection.

  • Code Execution Through Email: How I Used Claude to Hack Itself

    Jump

  • TL;DR: He installed a program on his computer that accept commands and data via email, and gave it permission to write arbitrary files and execute commands. At that point it doesn't matter if it's an LLM or not.

  • A truly advanced society

    Jump

  • To paraphrase Picard from that one episode where they find the frozen people:

    This is the 24th century, material needs no longer exist. The challenge is to improve yourself.

    They're there because they see it as a way to improve themselves. So they want to be on time whenever they don't have other issues that are part of a storyline.

  • Love him

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've sadly heard similar stories most of my life. For many people it makes things better, but it can also make things "boring". They don't get the severe down periods, but it can also make it difficult to experience the highs of enjoyment.

  • this is why schools still assign upton sinclair

    Jump

  • Now to be fair, freeze dried bacon bits in general tastes worse than animal feed. So if you ground it up and covered it in the anti-clumping agents, it is basically sawdust without containing any wood.

  • this is why schools still assign upton sinclair

    Jump

  • I've seen a youtube video about that, and from what I remember it's was detectable as soon as it went over 10% or so. Although a corporation could easily get it over 10% without issue if they used the right particle size, mixing technique and treatement of the sawdust.

    It honestly wouldn't surprise me if some cheap seasoning is partially sawdust or similar.

  • Love him

    Jump

  • Importantly, treatment is not a cure.

    A lot of people put too much faith in curing some things that aren't really "fixable".

    I know someone who started having suicidal thoughts as a kid. They admitted themselves to a mental hospital in their teens, got diagnosed, tried some medicine and treatement. And almost three decades later they still have those thoughts regularly.

  • Engage

    Jump

  • Cunningham's law strikes again!

    But seriously, thank you for the correction. Because the idea is exactly that, meaning it can't realistically ever reach 10. So the difference between 9.95 and 9.98 is a lot more than most people would think.

  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • That NASA has done a zero-gravity intercourse experiment.

    The 50th shuttle mission had married couple and it included spacelab. A pressurized and habitable module that could be isolated from the rest of the crew. Even before launch they were asked if it would happen, and denied it, as NASA has afterwards as well.

    It doesn't help that several of the listed experiments was about human health, developmental biology and included animals and eggs to study ovulation, fertilization, cell division and growth.

  • What's your harmless/low-stakes conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • They've admitted that.

    Someone at Pentagon was recently investigating UFO conspiracies and found that several kept looping back to them. And they realized that at least one was directly planted by themselves during the cold war to confuse the USSR about what weapons were real or not.
