Not only because headlines that end in a question mark are automatically answered with "no" but also because corrections and retractions are more effort and journalistic integrity than outlets using AI "writers" can manager.

That one failing sysop that chases everyone away for posting things he's not interested in, then blames the users for not being a bunch of bland suburbanites who blames their poverty on rich people not getting enough tax breaks.

It's like Doonesbury for people stupid enough to believe Charlie Kirk or Rush Limbaugh, but furry for some reason.

I take what I made at my previous position and add twice the rate of inflation to it.

This graph doesn't take into account that Americans largely think basics like healthcare are optional/disposable expenses.

Being a grownup doesn't mean being anti-labor. It means having a backbone enough to refuse a lowball.

You don't have this problem when you have the ability to just start a multiplayer game and tell your buddies the IP.

So, once again, the US has fucked the Iranian moderate faction?

You'd be amazed where terrestrial cellular reaches just between T-Mobile and independent local telcos that doesn't involve directly contributing to an antiamerican terrorist billionaire's wealth. I speak from experience on this (and rural electrification).

You basically rephrased what I said, but yeah.

Reminds me of the folks who think pod based transit works but just forgot about Morgantown or the fact cars failed to scale.

Doesn't even have to be a plant trying to get more capacity. Corporate utilities look at the cost, X, and what you're willing to reasonably pay, Y, and refuse to build if Y is less than 2-3 times, at a minimum, what X is. Which is a big part of why common infrastructure shouldn't be in corporate hands in the first place, but publicly operated. This is legitimately a serious problem for households in the US since the end of the public push for rural electrification in the 90s. The only thing that's changed in the last 30 years since Republicans gutted the Rural Electrification Administration is that there's finally relatively affordable, turnkey solutions for household electric, but that still leaves tens of thousands of people in the US without electricity while that rolls out (since it's not yet something you're likely to find at your local TruValue or Lowe's yet, and if you don't have access to electricity, your access to internet is probably not much better). And without electricity, this also usually means no indoor plumbing since there's nothing to run a domestic wellpump on. But now that Republicans have ruined relations with everyone who wants to sell us what's needed for high capacity batteries, it's unclear if that's going to last.

The bigger factor is that their whole "AI" thing is collapsing before their eyes, because once "AI" is explained, you can either replace "AI" with "magic" or a quantifiable, describable existing technology. And in this particular bubble, it's not a describable existing technology, it's "magic". And while investors might be fooled, the accountants aren't, and management's starting to figure it out (or aren't fooled in the first place but are intentionally misleading investors).

They're not exactly helping their own cause by not just planning in parking sheds and rooftops covered in solar panels on the infrastructure front. Bruteforcing magic into existence with a billion virtual typewriter monkies takes a lot of electric.

Hmm....over the years, I've had several girlfriends report loss of appetite after trying to watch a lot of Monty Python with me......

It is something to do with 2 X chromosomes...?

Remember 20 years ago when they were using ThinkPads running GNOME and living by Evolution's calendar red line?
