Lenovo sells chromebooks for more than that, what is that, a refurbished android tablet?

ICBMs are literally the #1 encyclopedia article example of militaristic dick-flexing. My rocket can touch you from all the way over here.

Did you just make an argument for the benefits of dual-use research by citing the bad part?? A lot of people associate the space race with a sort of cover for arms research... but think of all the cool weapons we got! Even from you man, wow, lol

Each state that gets money in a judgement or settlement, should use that money to make sure their public education system teaches kids how to block ads.

By 2030, I don't think anyone should be able to graduate high school in America, unless they've learned how to be ad-free (on screens under their control; obviously they won't gain superpowers to blank out billboards or the sides of buses).

That was equally true for previous generations, and all those generations had exceptions -- kids that were excited about it, despite the other kids not being interested. (I figure the majority of Slashdot may have been such exceptions.)

Do we have reason to suspect the current generation is a unique special case, the one generation where somehow all of them make an effort to never learn about computers?

I bet some of them are like some of us, a 2026 minority that we would have recognized 40 years ago.

That's not how anything actually works. 18/19 will simply be blocked by the next bottleneck. The other one is doing rework with the AI because requirements shifted. Producing LOC was never the biggest bottleneck, and anyone in or around software development knows that.

It's just like how nail guns are 20x faster than hammers, and they don't shrink a roofing crew 20x. You all are fucking weird the way you overhype something with mental gymnastics to tear it down with more bullshit. Yes it is just a tool.

Reads like "I don't know how to use the command line"

Kind of goes away for a major use case when it's > commute and charged overnight.

Most of us should probably care about $/mile then or $/100 miles, but since it's a taxi for hire those numbers are shit.

Or for marketing purposes call it 9705 and take the win

If it was precise to the meter... yah?

Inflation did spike then go back to normal, how was that wrong?

It's plainly obvious we all get to a point where even our skin stops repairing itself the way it used to. Anyone that's active later in life knows this.

But, whatever, maybe by avoiding exercise your body has an untapped reservoir of liver healing magic. I'm willing to continue this experiment if you are, carry on, dumbass.

That is some weak, hand wavy excuse that definitely does not answer the question, why is it problematic.

And if that works, then I think the days of pi being irrational will soon be over.

No, this isn't Musk hating, it's about not falling for Musk's obvious game.

That capability has always been there, it's a part of the tax code. OpenAI has the same structure Mozilla has had for twenty fucking years, ffs. Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation.

Now imagine Firefox doing really well and Google suddenly crying that Mozilla needs its nuts kicked in and made non-profit, and then falling for it.

Somebody thinks you're stupid.

We had a vote on that. Your proposal lost. Deal with it.
