Seriously if you don't connect your TV to the internet all of this AI smart bullshit is irrelevant.

Honestly I have an old Vizio because I have old game consoles hooked up to it and they work surprisingly well because lots of people were still hooking up old game consoles to flat panels back in the day. I'm not trying to recreate moment 37 of evo or 1ccing Mushihime-sama so a frame or two of lag isn't noticeable to me.

Now explain how the noblemen is doing the herdsmen a kindness by charging them rent.

Also, in NYC, explain the chronically vacant commercial space (hint, no rent control).

Woke is just DEI which is just SJW which is just political correctness which is just desegregation.

The governor of California said it best, anti woke is just anti-black.

When you strip everything away it's just the same mistake we made back in the 1800s when we didn't finish reconstruction in the south. What historians here call the original sin of America.

To be honest it's not a uniquely American problem. The same trick for dividing people into easily manageable groups is done all across the globe. Japan has the burakumin, China has the uyghur, India has its caste systems etc etc.

Where are you seeing anti-china war mongering? I haven't seen it.

The population has been dropping three straight years, I don't know where you found that AI site.

As for the economy, the article and even the summary says clearly:

It's an indication of economic retraction.

Traditional Saudi Arabian architecture is based around keeping things cool. Like the high walls in this building complex keep everything in the shade, and retain the coolness from the night as much as possible (because hot air rises, the cool air stays in the building). At the same time, it still allows natural light which overall makes a very comfortable effect.

Having a line allows you to enforce hierarchy. The people at one side will never want to go to the other side, that's where the lower class people are.

Jesus sees you.

You don't just take away privacy or decent wages or job security or healthcare all at once. You got to boil that frog.

Here in America it took us 65 years. This whole mess we're in started when Barry Goldwater lost. The corporate wing of the Republican party formed in alliance with the racists and the religious extremists. We were explicitly warned about it but we ignored the warnings.

Wikipedia officially requires articles to summarize their sources from a neutral point of view. However, Wikipedia did become overtly political with the PROTECT IP blackout of January 18, 2012, in protest of a proposed law seen to threaten Wikipedia's existence.

The first time you add a website to your home screen, it installs the website's service worker. You have to use the Internet for that, just as you have to use the Internet to download an application from Apple's App Store.

And I'm curious about what the blockers for even a partial PWA implementation have been during each of these 12 years.

All I've been asking is what features of Grab combined with missing features of PWA likely led to their continuing to choose native apps.

I don't see where I "assume[d] to know better than Grab".

He posted just seven minutes after your post. Not even enough time to read your primary links, let alone the footnotes.

It was supposed to say keep workers in line.

So the underlining premise is that we can't just explore for the sake of exploring because nobody's going to pay for it.

We have to colonize just like we did hundreds of years ago because in order to get the kings, well the CEOs now but they're basically the same thing, to fund the whole thing we need to offer them the possibility of a reward. A payoff for them.

I suppose we could fundamentally reorganize our entire civilization so that we did not need the blessings of kings to do cool stuff but I think we are nowheres near ready for that.

Not the way the .com bubble did.

The main purpose of all these llms is to replace White collar jobs. Everything else is just leading up to that.

So even when the industry shakes out and your left with two maybe three big players they're still going to need all that electricity to replace those jobs.

So we're not going to get any cheap capacity and infrastructure out of them because they're going to be using it.

Financially a bubble might burst when the industry shakes out everybody but the big boys, but it's not going to free up a bunch of electricity. It just means there will be fewer players and a bunch of people caught holding the bag on companies that never made any money.
