It's supplementary information that the buyer should be aware of. If an area is liable to flood, they can look to see what measures the owner has put in place to prevent that, or if the elevation of that particular house is higher than the water is likely to rise.

Of course, even if that particular house doesn't flood, having a flood in that area is still a problem. It might limit the owner's ability to travel, it might cause utilities to be cut off for days on end.

It might also affect insurance. In the UK, if your house is within so many metres of a river or lake, you tend to pay more even if it has never flooded. Same with large trees near the property, which may fall on it in extreme weather, or cause its foundations to shift due to roots undermining them.

The main issue is that he doesn't communicate much. For years people have reported issues on GitHub, he hasn't interacted at all with them, but they get quietly fixed in the next release. That was fine until this happened, and people were scrambling to find malware-free versions, and looking for updates.

He put out a statement saying he would publish a new version with a new signing key, and at that time explain exactly what happened. So far there has been a beta with the new key, and no other updates, which is pretty much how he has always done things.

To make matters worse, people on Reddit and on Github have been pointing to versions they claim are not infected, but with little evidence beyond maybe a VirusTotal scan. Given the lack of information from the developer, it is unwise to trust them.

It's a shame because SmartTube is one of the best apps ever. YouTube, with ad blocking, SponsorBlock (skips over in-video ads), and DeArrow (replaced clickbait thumbnails and video titles with descriptive ones), and many quality of life features like disabling auto-translation and having easy access to playing videos incognito.

Hopefully it recovers quickly. Normally he gets updates out within days or even hours when YouTube breaks something, and it's been several days already.

Has it? They still operate in China, and Chinese law requires them to cooperate with the government, store Chinese user's cloud data in-country, and more.

Meanwhile Google did actually decide not to enter the Chinese market. Maybe you are getting them confused.

The entire positive side to bureaucracies and committees and governments is that they have enough people in them to do multiple things at once.

Usually when someone says something like what you said and I quoted above here, they are trying to argue that human drivers shouldn't exist. Maybe this is true, for some particular set of truths, but there's always a number of ways you can look at a situation. For example, I would argue that no one and no computer should be driving in the bulk of situations we are currently driving in, because cars are a terrible mode of transportation in the cities where most people live.

That's true, but that doesn't make what you said above correct. Left and right are very, very different things, and it very much does matter which you get.

I love getting modded down by people who support rape. If the worst pieces of shit hate me then I must be doing it right.

Yes, and also the open driver is worth a shit unlike the closed driver for Windows, which provably is not. So not only do you not have the Nvidia driver shittiness, you don't have the AMD Windows driver shittiness either. If you're not deeply into LLMs then AMD is the obvious choice for a GPU for Linux.

Nobody has ever tried to implement "Communism without a small inner circle" at the national level, and WITH it, it isn't Communism. Maybe there is no such thing as Communism, like there is no such thing as a completely free market, but nobody ever made a good faith effort to have everyone be equal at that level. There's always the plan to ride atop the masses.

LLMs don't recognize things, so your condition is already fulfilled.

"Just"

It's super hard to redo our constitution. There's only two ways, one is with fire and the other requires consensus.

The vast majority of people in the US don't know shit.

Why are US lawmakers so bad at their jobs that these kinds of work-arounds are a thing? Don't they get experts to write the laws, and then fire them if they screw up this badly?

I've noticed that a lot of US tech companies don't understand how this isn't normal, and when they discover that the same work-arounds don't work in Europe, they get very upset.

Let's not forget how many nuns were/presumably still are

A) lesbians kicked out of society
B) young women with no prospects who found themselves working in a Vatican-owned brothel euphemistically called a convent
C) both of the above

This is of course nonsense.

You will never be free from oversight so long as you are using money. Nor should you be.

You seem to be illiterate.
