  • Trump is eager to defund Harvard, yet publicly subsidized hate groups get a pass

  • Which they are: https://www.grants.gov/learn-grants/grant-reporting

    Grants are an incredible way to advance technology, create educated citizens, and boost the economy. Private industry also benefits since they don't have to risk their own R&D budget. And in some areas, the private sector will not touch since there's not a obvious way to make profit. Although they will still use that public research when it suits them.

    The GOP wants you to be ignorant of how everything works and get away with blackmailing institutions they don't like.

  • They're in the form of grants that give research to help society.

    Imagine if the government wants to know the effects of microplastics on the brain. The grant is a way to hire researchers at universities to answer this question.

    The alternative is just employ scientists full time, but that's expensive. And how do those scientists get trained in the first place? Using grants while in university.

  • No, NPR will survive. Losing the grants suck. But the vast majority of its revenue isn't from grants.

    I'll be upping my donation.

  • Never had a call end with a chatbot/call tree solving anything. The only times I call is because I know a need a human override with something.

    (I understand there's probably a large portion of their call volume that can be solved via bots.)

  • Pretty sure this is false in most countries. You are required to disclose purchases and declare values, even for personal use. If they hit a certain thresholds, you'll have to pay a tax.

    Now I'm sure most people just ignore this, because practically they don't know which items you carried with you and which you purchased. But it isn't legal.

  • Sure, ideally, unless they're doing something more sophisticated. VW passed emission tests by detecting they were being tested.

    Some potential easy to implement gotchas: minimum mileage, geo fencing, how much braking is used

  • What brands should we NOT boycott?

    跳过

  • Yep, Dutch with manufacturing in Taiwan. So not super relevant to this thread.

    System 76 is US based including keyboard manufacturing. They're a small company that gives a lot back to the open source community.

    跳过

  • You can always go for smaller/niche companies. System76 and Wooting come to mind for keyboards.

    You have to do research and pay a premium. But you're way more likely supporting a business that cares about its employees.

    In general consume less. And when you do need to make bigger purchases, do your research.

  • Heart attack kills China ‘century baby’ born at midnight on January 1, 2000 at 25

  • Correct.

    The 1st century started at 1 A.D. and included 100. 2nd century started 101 to 200. Etc etc. If you change the 21st century to be 2000. You would to shift everything down. Eventually making the 1st century 99 years. Or creating a year 0 or using 1BC.

  • There's a LAN party there every year. Seems about the best thing about it.

    I inquired about why the Bustang that goes to to Colorado Springs doesn't stop in Castle Rock. The Bustang employee heavily implied it was because Castle Rock just refuses to allow transit riders in their city. Castle Rock rather have a taxi budget for old people then do any form of public transit.

  • This is the correct answer. Using my 6900XT, I can't run a 4k120hz display over HDMI without subsampling.

    This hopefully will change with the new AMD GPUs, but that's wishful thinking.

  • Don't worry. All the savings on eggs are destroyed by 2000 yen strawberries. And rice is incredibly high right now, up about double in the last year.
