The problem is these AI companies currently exist on the business model of not paying for information, and that generally includes not wanting to pay content curators.

Google is probably the only one in a position to potentially outsource by making everyone solve a "does this hand look normal to you" CAPTCHA

They can try and train AI to detect AI, but that's also difficult.

Both true statements. The banking apps that don't work aren't because google wallet doesn't work, but because they use the same trust policies that Wallet requires in order to run (which GrapheneOS cannot meet because its not a "trusted" OS, per Google)

<end of list>

Some banking apps allegedly don't work but i have never encountered one. If your bank has a mobile accessible website, it's basically a non-issue.

We have one at home: à

You're absolutely right, but to be fair, it'd probably take a full growing season to swap all of the animal feed farms to human foods - so fixed by this time next year perhaps

Still much quicker than renewables and global electrification.

If it's purely on subsidies, then why, as stated in the article, are men consuming disproportionately more beef than women? Am I missing out on my secret man meat tax cut?

True no cities are prepared for this, but this is exactly the kind of thing distributed solar helps handle well - heat waves are almost always paired with sunshine. The more distributed solar you get on the grid, the less of an issue this becomes.

Yes, I know you still have power challenges at sunset while its still hot outside, but fortunately that's also when things tend to start cooling off, and you lose one major contributor to heat stress - solar radiation.

It's not a perfect system, batteries could of course help, but it's a major step in the right direction.

Someone within 350 feet of this open WiFi network I hacked onto is low on rinse aid

Oh no, my privacy is ruined!

Your warning I heed

Running as root is risky

Time for firewalls

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

That's all his financiers hear.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

That's all his voters hear.

Everything else goes in one ear and out the other, muddied up with enough "whataboutism" and "both sides" rhetoric from the financiers to keep the voters from actually considering alternative options.

Agreed! I feel like now, while we're thinking about these very charismatic creatures, might be a good time to remind folks about cattle, who form strong social and familial bonds

We show that the dam and calf express behaviour suggestive of a strong bond even in the absence of nursing.

Cattle are naturally social animals and form small herds, the composition of which varies according to the species

The entire herd not only feeds and moves around as a colossal single unit, but individual animals will also gather around an injured or sick animal if it is threatened by predators

To keep the milk flowing, farmers artificially inseminate her about once per year.

A strong bond forms between the mother and her baby immediately after birth. Within a day or two, the mother cow will be separated from her calf. She will cry for her missing baby for days.

A male calf is considered useless to the dairy industry because he cannot produce milk. If he isn’t raised and sold for beef, this baby will likely be sold to the veal industry.

Food for thought

This beta OS

Looks minimal, simple, fast

Maybe I'll try it

Good bot.

I wonder if those numbers have anything to do with the fact that Payday 2 is pretty regularly on sale for like $2,for a mature game, while Payday 3 is $40 for what is essentially a public beta based on the amount of things they're having to fix/change/update.

Unless they make major changes as proposed by one of their minority stakeholders.

You mean go private, lay off a bunch of their devs, and hope the games just produce themselves for free?

Also a good way to wear down your SD port if you remove this with any regularity.

Tariffs are great for his base because they see it as a tax on their perceived "enemies", when in reality they're the ones footing the higher prices.

This is fantastic! Now I know exactly which manufacturer to avoid at all costs, AND they've made it harder for their competition to use this shitty system. Dear Ford, please keep patenting bad ideas.

Wow! That's the skibidi combination I have on my luggage!

Imagine you run a restaurant, and a handful of people offer to pay to wash your dishes for you. Great deal right? But then you notice they start posting reviews of your food on Yelp, but only from the kitchen:

"Steak from the fridge was unseasoned and undercooked - 0/5"

"Chow mein was dry and stuck to the plate like it was sitting on someone else's table for an hour - 1/5"

"By the time the soda got here, it was flat and fries the waitress dropped off were cold and soggy"

At what point do you decide maybe this isn't actually in your best interest in the long run? How much do these rubes need to pay you in order to put up with their complications?

Does Spam need meat to be great? Feels like an easy swap to me!

My guess is you're seeing the L2 chargers outside a grocery store or some such. Those charge so slowly you aren't expected to stick around and look at them, you plug in and do your grocery shopping. If you're looking to charge a significant amount, these are not it.

I've never seen a Level 3 charger with an advertisement. Hell, 90% of the time I have to scour the parking lot to find the charger because they're usually hidden and unlabeled.

Bonus points, if you're fortunate enough to have access to a power outlet where you park, you can usually do 99% of your charging from home, ad free.

First I've ever even heard of this!

PS5 Exclusive

That explains it! Still good on them for making a game that looks like a joy to play, instead of another played out take on Military Industrial Complex Propaganda 3! Hopefully this can help bring us back towards more games that are just good fun

I'm gonna need a second phone so I can use this to find my phone

Someone watched an old Bond film.

Die Another Day (2002)

You fucking watch yourself, alright? You're on thin ice.

Really glad they redacted "US Political Party A" and "US Political Party B". I for one am completely stumped as to which parties they could be referring.

I see this list as "things women would like to have a detailed conversation about with their partner".

Less "do you use weed" and more "am I going to have to sit here and listen to you mansplain the difference between sativa and indica for the next two hours"

It's all fun and games until we find out the white dude running the startup used to be an Asian dude with a vendetta against Pierce Brosnan.

Pierce better start rethinking his annual trip to the ice palace.

Here's about half a billion instances or so of harm to living beings every day.

Let alone the tens of billions living each day in conditions that would be considered "abuse" if I told you I kept my dog in a similar situation.

In theory? It's all about traceability and consent, preferably with a third party auditing system. A good skull salesman should be able to provide you with documentation of the origin of your skull and the consent obtained, as well as a contact at their third-party auditing firm. if the skull is fair trade, they should also be able to provide evidence that they are paying above market rates for their skull harvesters.

But $12 to $14 is <20%....

User to me falls in a similar category to "client" or "customer", none are derogatory, but they're all very transactional. "Fan" or "gamer" feel more familiar, like a hotel "guest". It's a minor distinction, but it implies more of a two way relationship, and from personal experience, the language used by leadership tends to closely tie to how employees treat their customers.

Not sure who downvotes this, the meat industry is right up there with the oil and gas industry in terms of comic book level villainy. Like I get that people still rely on these products, but the industry is not your friend.

just tried disconnecting the "smart" part of my desktop pc. Now all I have is an expensive space heater.

Probably, but only a fraction of what is used to protect the feed for cattle.

For a professional sysadmin's home network? Maybe. For the average Joe who probably has their 12-year-old toaster still connected to their wifi? I wouldn't bank on it.

Hard to have infinite growth without infinite growth.

Yeah but they're not overdosing your broccoli on antibiotics.
