This is as bad as Europeans crowing about "free" healthcare or higher education. It's not free. They paid for it with their tax euros.
...and wouldn't it be nice to get something in return for our tax dollars? Other than billion-dollar ballrooms and pointless wars, I mean?
It's important to realize that the so-called far-left Democrats idealize Bolshevism while the far-right Republicans idealize Fascism, both of which are forms of Big Government Socialism.
So if the Democrats are in power and they want to increase the size and scope of government the Republicans will go along with it 80% of the time. Because they know they will eventually be back in power and have more tools of power to control.
They will balk the other 20% of the time so they still have something to run on and false promises to make to their voters.
The base of both parties is mostly against all of this.
What's this criterion does is provide non-falsifiable cover for rejecting anything.
Do they need cover to reject anything? In my projects, I reserve the right to reject anything, for any reason, solely on the grounds that they are my projects, and if someone doesn't like it, they can fork off (their own repository).
What's the incentive to pay the random then, if the attacker had encrypted the data without backing it up and wouldn't be able to decrypt it?
That and Russia has suggested destroying the orbit if Starlink doesn't stop enabling terrorist attacks by NATO proxies on its people.
The AI cut-off dive bomb tactic is a blatant warcrime.
Space Data Centers are in the same category as fully autonomous self-driving cars within eighteen months that he 'promised' in 2019.
You can watch the 'Autonomy Day' video on YouTube. People financed Model 3's on the promise of renting them as robotaxis while they were at work.
Physics is a hard stop on false promises.
It's OK to back difficult challenges with no underlying physical impossibilities that's engineering. Radiating heat into space is a physics problem.
I didn't believe the robotaxi promise then and I don't believe the space data centers claim now.
If there's a new topological physics breakthrough then let's see the paper and get the Nobel Prize gears turning because that would revolutionize technology on and off planet.
I'd love to see it but I don't believe it.
Reddit isn't wrong about bots but odds are what they really want is your identity. That earns money.
The trouble is people in Saudi Arabia will use old. to read about liberation topics or people in the US will read about drug topics, or whatever the mala prohibita are that will land you in prison for things that are perfectly legal in other jurisdictions.
Even people with accounts who read other subs logged in.
"Just create a new anonymous account" is what people will say who don't understand how identity correlation works. Sure there are ways that 0.0000001% of the population can manage securely, but that's not how this will go down.
The UK just arrested an American attorney who was critical of UK politics and they have multiple people in prison for clicking 'Like'. If you think they won't arrest somebody for reading the wrong sub, give it a few months.
Also, don't connect through Heathrow ever again.
> I used to think that. Then I looked at the math. The amount of money possessed by the billionares and a trillionare pale in the face of the size (and needs) of the actual economy
The Derivatives Market recently surpassed 1 Quadrillion Dollars.
Notice how none of the politicians are talking about taxing that? It's all a show to stoke up conflict between the lower classes.
On the other hand, the same people do want to put AI in charge of totalizing Central Planning, because "this time Communism will work", because Magic LLM Dust.
We just need an AI Surveillance Police State to bring about the Great Utopia.
Every single time they say the same thing but with different nouns substituted as Madlibs. Then millions die.
The way the article is written makes this seem sudden, but Wayback has a discontinuation article at least as far back as January.

Maybe third-party cookie blocking killed this. I can imagine automated personality profile builders being done in the background based on GIF's people choose to use.
Being rich doesn't make you stupid, but being really rich starts to isolate you in a bubble of luxury and sycophants, and eventually you start to forget what the rest of the world is like, and start making decisions based on the unstated assumption that other people don't matter.
Interestingly enough if you count out loud your lips won't touch in the middle until you get to a million.
Billion continues that deviation from the lower numbers.
Yeah, but it's $10 or so while a letter is around $0.80.
Were the check for $20 it wouldn't be worth it until you know that checkwashing is a thing.
Our Boomers wrote checks in 1960 so they write checks today.
And the banking sector is lousy with fiscal parasites who are all trying to extract rents from everybody so there is no smooth banking payment system.
Third parties like Paypal are notorious for seizing accounts without due process sp they are avoided for anything substantial.
Where I live Bitcoin Cash is used far more than other electronic payment methods because it just works and avoids all the malevolent third parties.
Fun fact: Paris was founded around 225 BC.
Europe simply hasn't sacrificed enough virgins to the Climate Gods. It must round up a lot more and throw them into the nearest volcano.
... so they've come to Slashdot to recruit volunteers; very resourceful of them.
They're calling it Focused Ultra Sound which means using an MRI to guide stimulation of millimeter-scale areas of the brain to disrupt electrical activity there.
So many ads and press releases on a web search but I did find this bibliography:
https://www.zotero.org/groups/...
It's weird how these hospitals don't link papers in the news releases as is common in the West.
Curiously there was an article yesterday about Ultrasound brain imaging so it might be possible to combine the two modalities. This seems like an "obvious to a practitioner" approach though noise cancelation will be needed.

We might actually be capable of realizing that headband where you walk into Sick Bay and tell Dr. Crusher you have Holodeck addiction and she slaps it on your forehead for twenty minutes and tells you to lay down and then come back if it recurs.
