If your RV could have fiber, Starlink would be worse in every way… You stripped out the context (fiber availability).

Starlink is amazing when fiber isn’t possible. When fiber is possible, it’s cheaper in the long term and it’s in fact better in every way (latency, reliability, performance, throughout, etc).

Sure. And you’re entitled to yours. But words have meaning and this isn’t MY OPINION, it’s objective reality. It follows strict rules for predictable output, it is not nonsensical.

You’re entitled to think it’s nonsense, and you’d be wrong. You don’t have to like implicit type coercion, but it’s popular and in many languages for good reason…

I think JavaScript is filthy, I’m at home with C#, but I understand and don’t fear ITC.

It’s not nonsensical, implicit type coercion is a feature of JavaScript, it’s perfectly logical and predictable.

JavaScript is a filthy beast, it’s not the right tool for every job, but it’s not nonsensical.

When you follow a string with a +, it concatenates it with the next value (converted to string if needed). This makes sense, and it’s a very standard convention in most languages.

Applying arithmetic to a string would be nonsensical, which they don’t do.

but it’s also not right to expect scholars to lower their standards, simplify their analytic framework.

A livestreamed genocide where the perpetrators were unapologetically genocidal since day 0 and with the 100 year history of colonizing Palestine, any “genocide scholar” who was held back by their standards was a glorified record keeper, waiting until it’s widely recognized as a genocide before labeling it as such themselves.

And you’re white-washing their cowardice as scholarly integrity and standards. Bullshit.

The rest of the world is making deals with China and they are moving on.

There’s a small chance this actually forces Americans to kick the consumerist lifestyles and back to a needs based buy it for life mentality. It’ll be a rough and long path to get there, and it’s gonna suck in the short-medium turn, but think of the environmental advantages!

Trump collapsing the US is the best thing for global interests.

It’s not hard to find out what’s being pirated, BitTorrent isn’t private.

Yes yes, voting for a right wing campaign calling unapologetically for the most lethal military while committing genocide is the moral choice that you made.

Okay…

If you don’t think centralized currency controlled by neo-liberal capitalist states isn’t a problem to solve, we aren’t even in the same plane here.

Civilians that happen to be occupation military and their families living on illegally occupied land around the concentration camp in what they themselves describe as a buffer zone and a first line of defense when the colonized inevitably break out of the concentration camp?

Those civilians? The literal human shields put there by the state?

You can condemn individual attacks and label them “terrorist” even, but you when you insist history begins on that day and give Israel the “right to defend itself”, you’re whitewashing genocide.

Nat Turner’s rebellion was described the way you describe October 7 today, and people will describe you as the tone deaf Nazi sympathizers tomorrow, as we describe your like back in Turner’s day.

The right of self defense belongs to the Palestinians, the occupied, the people without an army fighting a fascist ethno-supremacist nuclear super power, not the other way around.

friend of mine had a ford like this. and it cost more than the car to fix after only 10-15ish years of use. its terrible.

Yeah, that’s just how it goes as the engine becomes more complex, leaving a dipstick there is not gonna change that…

Yes. All they do is pacify the public by providing an illusion of fighting back. If they “simply” shut up, people might notice they actually did nothing more than talk.

They don’t even throw little bones here and there while making bigger concessions anymore. Bernie Sanders will spend 17 minutes describing the genocide in Gaza in grotesque detail and refuse to use that word, because there’s a line that must not be crossed when playing the part of fighting with the people, and you’ll get praised and declared the savior of the country.

They do nothing but say just enough to pacify you, to make you think someone is fighting on your behalf.

This is a reactionary response, you’re just arguing, slow down a bit.

Do you see a value in a check engine light that tells you something is wrong in between full inspections? This is similar, this is telling you there isn’t enough oil and damage is occurring before you get a chance to inspect the dipstick.

It’s not planned obsolescence unless they also make it unreasonable to service. We already expect to routinely service engines, and they are already very complex and full of sensors, sure this is adding to the complexity but it’s relatively pretty minor.

The argument being made, and I agree with it, is that the benefits of an additional long-serving sensor way outweigh the con of having one additional sensor in your car. You get early warning before damage occurs, you get built in fraud protection when you’re changing your oil at a shady chain, you eliminate a direct access port for dirt to contaminate the oil.

Israel had every right to fight back

Maybe after a third year of Livestreamed genocide people will stop saying this stupid shit.

7.10 was the armed resistance of a colonial concentration camp broke out and attacked the fascist ethno supremacist state in an act of SELF DEFENSE. You can condemn individual acts of violence, but Israel is the aggressor and history doesn’t begin on 7 October.

Just because it’s built on a block chain doesn’t mean they relinquished control and decentralized it. But it’s a platform that allows you to decentralize.

Is this worth it as an upgrade to our existing centrally controlled currency? That’s a different discussion.

Does it solve the problem blockchain provides a solution for? Does it allow for decentralization? It appears the answer is no.

The opportunity to take you usb drive and copying its content real quick while you are distracted momentarily is eliminated. I can then decrypt it by calling the guy I know.

But I can’t call the guy I know with the $50 setup that can extract the data for me in that time. It’s not 100% unbreakable, but that doesn’t have to be the criteria…

If the language stops being spoken then there are no people who speak them, and asking what something means for those nonexistent people is kind of weird.

Just because you have none who speaks your language, doesn’t mean you’re dead or don’t exist. Language is lost in pockets, not all at once. Communities dwindle until it’s just a few, then practicality of life makes them use their language less so language can even die while multiple speakers still engage in dialogue, of that dialogue isn’t in that language.

If this were a trolley problem, you’ve elected to kill five people instead of one

Correct. The problem is that you’re not hearing the setup, or you don’t care, which solidifies my decision.

The trolley was coming to kill a million of our children. There were two other tracks, one was empty, and one just took an extra loop to hit you first.

And you monsters simply pulled the brakes off and ripped the third completely empty track off so the trolley had no chance of missing anyone. So I made sure it takes you too.

There’s no moral high ground, I said we collectively deserve it, I accept my punishment for living in and supporting the genocidal empire. You deserve it for your apathy.

Either way, at least when the US empire collapses when Trump is done with it, it’ll stop genociding nations and getting stupid responses like yours.

russia’s invasion and the US’s passivity is challenging that.

Passivity? As in the US should do more than use Ukraine as a proxy, but should get involved in a war with Russia to defend Ukraine?
