Comment Cheaters nvr prosper unless they fluff rght prsn (Score 1) 44

Some retailers register and insure unsold cars in bulk, a maneuver that allows automakers to record them as sold while helping dealers to qualify for factory rebates and bonuses from manufacturers

I thought dictators flog mass cheaters. Perhaps they red-nosed the right people.

Comment Not all our geese (Score 2) 44

I'm sure about 1,000 billionaires will make out just fine. That's probably a few multi multi multi-millionaires mixed in there that'll be okay too.

Everyone else is fucked but hey, comedies back right? Which is near as I can tell means you can say the n word as long as you don't quote Charlie Kirk.

Comment The CEO of rivian (Score 1) 44

Made the point that he can't compete with China not because of their tech or their parts or their processes but because of other things.

The other things were heavily implied to be super cheap labor and the ability to pollute.

It is tough to compete with slave Labor, poisoned groundwater and cancer villages.

Submission + - Doomed 'cannibal' star could soon explode in a supernova visible during day (space.com)

alternative_right writes: Astronomers have discovered the secret of a strange star system that has baffled them for years, finding it contains a dead star about to erupt after overfeeding on a stellar companion. The supernova explosion of this cosmic cannibal could be as bright as the moon, making it visible with the naked eye over Earth even in broad daylight.

The system in question is the double star V Sagittae located around 10,000 light-years from Earth, containing a white dwarf stellar remnant and its victim companion star, which orbit each other roughly twice every Earth day.

Comment Typical right winger (Score 1) 73

You always keep a layer of plausible deniability. It's easy enough if somebody spends a little time to pull back that layer but it's not there for people who spend the time it's there to fool the normies.

The Nazis did the exact same thing before they were in power. Every single right winger follows the exact same playbook the Nazis did because it works.

We're not talking about exchanges here what we are talking about are the memes and online spaces that radicalized him into violence. We're talking about stochastic terrorism and the tricks used to take vulnerable young men and turn them into killers.

When you do that to somebody they can pop off at random. If he had popped off a few months or maybe years later he probably would have shot another Democrat politician and you would be posting memes about it and getting away with it.

He happened to pop off and go insane while he was in the pipeline instead of after he'd been run through it so his Target was basically random.

And as long as it's not you personally who gets hit you're more than happy for that to happen because again, that's how the Nazis did it. Cause violence, maintain plausible deniability and then use the chaos and violence to seize power and money.

The thing is most of the Nazis got sent off to die in wars. You're not part of the end group you're one of the foot soldiers.

And you're just a little further along in the pipeline than that poor kid was. All this for a piece of shit like Charlie Kirk that existed to make money off of hate and anger...

Keep having the day you voted for.

Comment Yeah he was (Score 1, Insightful) 73

You may not like it but yes he was.

The stuff written on his bullets comes from memes from a right-wing extremist group headed by a white supremacist called Nick Fuentes. They are pseudo anti-fascist phrases said ironically and as dog whistles.

I doubt that the kid was fully radicalized though. He was in the pipeline to be radicalized until right-wing extremism. Which is hardly a surprise because his family are Maga

Not that it really matters. You won man. You got your victory. Jimmy Kimmel just got taken off the air by Sinclair media threatening ABC. They already took Stephen Colbert off the air. They are firing anyone and everyone who does anything but sycophantically praise the great Lord Charlie Kirk and anyone who's so much is considered as quoting anything Kirk actually said when he was alive.

Meanwhile the Department of Justice is getting ready to attack the enemies of the Republican party using the full force of the American Justice system. And we have military deployments in the streets of America.

You won man. This is what you wanted and you got everything you wanted.

I sure hope you have the day you voted for.

Comment Trump already said it (Score 1) 73

Vote for me and you'll never have to vote again. Those were his words.

They aren't planning on allowing elections anymore. Maybe they won't pull it off maybe they will.

They just got Jimmy Kimmel pulled off the air. They already got Stephen Colbert.

Jimmy Kimmel is responsible for saving the affordable Care act. The Republicans were on the verge of eliminating it during Trump's first term and Kimmel's newborn son needed heart surgery. Kimmel of course could pay for it but he made a heartfelt plea for America to save the affordable Care act and all the people who wouldn't be able to afford that.

It worked and the Republicans backed down.

Late night comedy TV talk show hosts have quite a bit of impact on American politics. Just like how the court jester's did back in the day. The right wing recognizes that and they are destroying anything and everything that opposes them in the slightest.

The baby boomers are dying and leaving nothing in their wake. The younger generations are extremely poor and they are not going to tolerate right-wing idiots that offer moral panics and social issues over food on their tables and a roof over their heads.

So it is absolutely critical that the billionaires and their cronies and democracy before the baby boomers are no longer around to vote for shit like abortion or trans girls in sports or whatever the fuck they're freaking out about right now in their mcmansions.

We are seeing a rapid acceleration into fascism. This is the end stage cancer of American democracy. At this point saving it would take a miracle.

The question there is then, how did the computer know which answer is correct? Did a human create a test dataset? Because the sample data in the problem description is not enough to get the right answer. That is, you can write a program that perfectly solves the sample data but doesn't actually solve the problem.
