Thats a fairly thoughtful analysis. The collapse of the USSR might also be a model, but none of those are ‘good’ outcomes

Finally now when people say “6 7” I can ask if they’re talking about this thinktank bullshit

Can you point to a historical situation that resolved like that?

Like that seems like what will happen if they are unnopposed entirely. That is the goal of the billionaire class right now: rebuild everything according to their vision. That is all in line with the billionaire worldview.

Historically, things can and will absolutely get worse.

That is just how the olympics and pro sports works.

95% training 5% finding the mutants. The 5% is basically the only way to break records these days when people aren’t trying to engineer victory.

This is why we should have events targetted at everyday tasks: “endurance sitting” “quickest 1000 stair steps carrying a heavy box” etc

Suit circumference I think means “of the entire suit”. Its a weird way to say it but in the context they’re using it, it makes sense.

What do you mean “reboot”?

Pretty sure he thinks Jesus is the Blood God from warhammer.

I think all that needs to happen is make ballot drop offs easier and common in states targeted. They can try whatever they want but you can block off ICE from accessing ballot boxes fairly easily by locating them in places where a warrant would be needed to get inside. We will see if its possible to get feds to simultaneously rig 20-30 elections so they’ll need to find enough people to participate in state crimes that carry multi year penalties and generally are prosecuted.

The big fix is going to be they’ll probably try to “update” all the voting machines for “security reasons” before the election so states need to be ready to do immediate hand recounts.

I mean historically general strikes are in response to something because they require some amount of momentum and general public support.

I think you’re right though they’re not making the moves they should if they wanted to prevent this obvious fiasco. The #1 thing would be don’t pass a budget through the senate that includes ICE spending until every criminal in ICE is in jail.

Elon musk: he’s like henry kissinger levels of evil.

I was looking at exactly the same pages you were. Try reading those articles (or use ctrl+f) if you want to know where the filter discription is from.

You don’t need to concoct a fictional story about where the information came from. Its clear your purpose here isn’t to inform anyone at this point. If you’ve ever talked to an engineer prior to this you would not have this opinion of my colleages.

And the analogy here is so bad. If the solar panel were partially transparent and part of system (the resulting spectra) was dependent on that transparency it would work.

Engineers say its “acting as a filter” because thats a way of analyzing the system. For all and intents and purposes anything can effectively be modeled as a filter in certain design situations has been called a filter. So yes, engineers do talk like this.

Source: used to work in an electronics hardware development lab with electrical, optical, and software engineers.

AI Hardware affects investments include like 600% rises in RAM in some areas which will affect node costs. Though bitcoin is probably most affected by rising utility costs, also driven by AI spending.

Hey guess what has more mercury in it than vaccines? Why isn’t anyone asking that RFK JR moron about mercury in coal.

Well its indirect. Bitcoin is crashing in part because hardware prices have been going up due to AI investments. AI investments are up in part because republicans and trump have been trying to make AI regulation impossible.

That’s the trophic structure part. The other part is mercury pollution from mining and fossil fuels.

Oh yeah I’ve talked to trump supporters about it

They have this data, yes. Its not chicken and egg as much as it is a feedback loop. The way you’d probably control for it is to look at attractiveness polling only from new users. If it looks markedly different from overall attractiveness data then what you have is a bias that is related to time spent on the site.

If they did a good job it would go to a meme community. Memes that miss the mark hit the shit.

This was very helpful on tests.

Same, but source contol is a real method that works for this kind of thing when done well.

Europe does source control with eggs. By very strictly monitoring sources they can prevent outbreaks and don’t need to soak eggs in a chlorine solution like we do here.

This is probably why people apply a similar logic to pasteurization. Pasteurization is a heat process for milk and therefore far less of a problem than egg chlorination baths (which notably puts organohalides into the drainwater which may or may not degrade before going elsewhere.)

What shouldn’t be allowed is not fucking doing any kind of process to reduce infections and letting people get sick. Especially because healthcare is privatized here.
