In my experience, AWS services *always* bill you exponentially more than you'd expect. Their pricing model is full of hidden fees and fees you have no control over.

Sure. Who will freeze the doctors' salaries?

Labour makes up the vast majority of the cost, and no one wants to take a pay cut.

Don't. It's an absolute nightmare in Canada. People are literally dying waiting in line. We are no longer allowed to have annual preventative checks. No money for it.

Have you ever heard the Liberal Party drones respond to any questions posed to them? They rid some AI-generated rubbish from a piece of paper, refusing to answer the actual question. If anyone is guilty of this kind of bullshit, it is the Liberal Party.

Normally, you'd think that Truth has no chance going up against Twitter. You'd be wrong, but not for technical reasons... The fact is that Twitter has done a horrible job keep third-party developers happy for over a year now.

1. Their servers are unstable and break randomly all the time. Don't look for notificationis on their network status page, because you won't see it.
2. Their documentation says one thing, the implementation does something else.
3. Their documentation is full of broken links.
4. All the main use-cases of their API went from being free to cost *at least* $40,000 per *month*.

All in all, developers are massively pissed off at Twitter. Facebook isn't far ahead.

If Truth (or any other network) provides the exact same functionality, minus the developer pain, they might have a real chance of picking up.

It's funny how many pull out their race card to justify racism. First of all, we have no way of validating whether you are who you claim you are.

Secondly, it doesn't matter. Racism is racism.

Regardless of the "yes or no" prompt they each ignored it and gave a lengthy response that justified the call to genocide. They should be punished accordingly.

Freedom of Speech is not Feedom from Consequence. They can call for genocide all they want, but they should be punished accordingly for such abhorrent behavior.

This is no different than holding protests calling for the mass-slaughter of black people. Sure, it's within your right to do so. But you bet your ass there will be consequences for your stupidity.

This isn't theoretical. These people are inciting violence against anyone holding views different from their own, and in many cases this results in fanatics taking up arms and butching innocent people in Western countries. Jews, Christians and even Muslims with slightly different points of view.

I understand Freedom of Speech and the need to tolerate people things that are highly offensive, but...

1. Freedom of Speech does not protect you from the consequence of saying what you say.
2. Waiting for someone to get murdered before you tackle hate speech is literally criminal.

If a group of people were to openly call for school shootings, after multiple school shootings just took place, you can bet your ass that anyone who ignored such called would be criminally and morally liable if they proceeded to carry out their threats.

Image if the KKK called for and carried out the mass-murder of black people, and then their supporters went out in the thousands calling for the same thing to happen in the US. If the presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn University did nothing because they were waiting for a black person to actually get killed, then they would be criminally and morally liable.

This is common sense people, and more to the point, this isn't a Jewish problem. You have a group of extremists pushing their views on everyone else. They're out to kill the Jews because they're the first, easiest target. Once that's done, they are more than happy to go after people who are not religious or even after people who are religious but don't believe in exactly the same thing as them. Did you notice how they massacred Thai and Chinese people as part of the October 7th attack? They beheaded at least one Thai civilian. This has nothing to do with Jews, and has everything to do with extremists out to kill the moderates.

Sam Altman just used to raise money for OpenAI. He has no technical skills. He is not "the magic sauce" of AI. So what's the big deal?

The Guardian and "reputation" are an oxymoron.

Shouldn't domain registries block the creation of new domains that are identical to existing domains once accents are removed? This is fairly easy to check.

This is more of a legal problem than a technical one.

Imagine if they used these resources to:

1. Simplify the tax code.
2. Make proper tax planning available to everyone.

That's the problem with liberal political groups across the globe. Instead of trying to enrich everyone, they focus on making everyone equally poor. Except the government, that is...

It turns out that while some political systems are worse than others, they are all pretty bad.

Israel uses proportional representation and they have some of the same problems as the problems that you associate with the "First Past the Post" system. Because they have tons of political parties (something that, on the surface, seems like a really good thing) the only way for a party to win an election is to form a coalition with other political parties so that the total seats of their combined coalition outnumbers that of their opposition.

In practice what ends up happening is that tiny parties end holding the coalition hostage unless they agree to key political appointments that push their self-interests in a way that is disproportional way.

One election, an anti-religious party used this power to force their views on religious public (cut funding for religious schools and mandate public transportation on Saturday). The next election, a religious party used this power to force their views on the secular public (increase funding for religious schools and cut public transportation on Saturday).

One election, a left-wing party joined a mostly right-wing coalition in exchange for a time-share of the Prime Minister role (the first half was run by a right-wing PM, the second half by a left-wing PM).

This political system has resulted in weird, kooky situations and quite often in unqualified people getting appointed into key ministerial positions. It's a different problem than the US political system, but it's equally bad in its own way.

In my opinion, the problem is not the political system but rather the politicians. Elections should not be a popularity contest, but rather about who is best suited for the job. In practice, most smart people are unwilling to waste their lives climbing up the political ladder so the only people who run for the job are exactly the kind of people you don't want to run the country.

I'd much rather see a non-politician run the country than a carrier politician. Worse-case scenario, you'll end up with the same trash we've already got. Best-case scenario, they're stop catering to private interests and try to do the right thing.

For the same reason that you wouldn't write an entire application in bash. Performance is not the only problem.

The point of bail is to prevent the suspect from fleeing. It has nothing to do with punishing them before they are found guilty. Even if Sam looks as guilty as heck, the judge should know better.
