Are these the glasses the Visitors wore in V: The Miniseries?

Definitely not something a human would wear.

Do any adults actually use Snap? I thought it was just kids. Kids who have a few grand laying around these days?

Maybe they'll pair with an absurd Commodore flip phone.

On the other hand we may be seeing Malicious Compliance from Snap workers. If so, well played.

Or there are no workers and some LLM is running the whole thing.

So many possible ways this went horribly wrong.

The law under international treaties says the US government is responsible for all satellites launched from US territory or by US companies. That is why SpaceX have to get permission from the US government to launch.

Other than that, space is like the oceans where you can travel at will wherever you want. Currently you can't claim territory in space, but that will change soon as it becomes possible for people to live there rather than just take a vacation.

Countries that welcome immigrants are able to increase the tax base, and supply critical labor that locals don't want to do, including taking care of the elderly.

But you take in too many, too fast, AND if you allow those that are diametrically opposed to your values and way of life.....YOU LOSE YOUR COUNTRY.

and that's what we're seeing now across EU and trying to combat in the US.

Even this article says that most parts will reenter in a few months. Anything small and low-density will come down rapidly due to drag at that altitude and the rest will follow.

SpaceX chose it in part so a dead satellite wouldn't stay around for long causing trouble for other Starlink satellites or other users of that region of space.

If it's in the CPU I bought, how should it never have had that feature that's clearly in the CPU I bought?

This is the CPU equivalent of those car makers wanting a subscription to enable the heated seats. Maybe AMD will enable it for $5 a month or something.

HTC phones from OEM don't come with Unit 8200 APT implants so they're inferior?

Trump recently said that True MAGA is whatever Mark Levin is saying so I'm trying to steelman.

Or StealMan in this case?

No, but they grow up into voters. And Starmer wants to allow 16-year-olds to vote in the next election because he hopes they'll vote Labour.

Hermes Agent already creates new skills as it learns the things you want it to do. I need to add an MCP server to it but I'm waiting until my Raspberry Pi arrives so I can move it off the main system and let it do whatever the heck it wants to do on that one... I'm pretty sure it will be able to do that itself.

Which is one of the risks of this stuff: I don't know how to do it because the software will just do it for me. Neither do I know if it's a safe thing to do or if it's inviting the entire world to come and party on my SSD.

> The alternative is that we are completely out of touch with reality.

You need to remember that most modern companies don't exist to produce products people want, they exist to push up the stock price so the MBAs at the top can cash out and move on. Everything about the modern economy makes a lot more sense when you understand that.

Bingo. It's not about the kids, it's about the adults.

Adults will complain that they have to send in info to prove they're not kids, and Starmer will say "it's funny you mentioned that, because we already have the solution. Just apply for your lovely new Digital ID."

I am an immigrant.

Never once in my life have I or any other immigrant I've known said they moved to pay Boomer pensions.

What was left of Britain after the British Empire collapsed died under Blair.

Not that the post-Blair Tories were any better, but they were just following Blair's script.

Foreigners are totally looking to come to the West so they can pay for Boomers' pensions.

Starmer has clearly given up on the youth vote and is now trying to appeal to the Boomers.

I may be hallucinating, but I'm sure I remember an article recently about Nvidia lending to AI companies so they could buy Nvidia chips?

If it's true, giving money to customers so they can buy your products doesn't sound like the best business plan ever.
