That may be true (citation needed), but lowering taxes for the rich definitely translates to higher taxes for everybody else.

Frankly though, I don't care if my taxes go up a few percent. It's the least of my expenses. What's breaking the budget is everything else. Like, the things that government is supposed to help with. The things that taxes are supposed to pay for. Healthcare, transportation, schooling.

I've been told that "affordability" is a word liberals invented because they hate Trump, but I'm just wondering who it is that still sees taxes as the biggest threat to their wellbeing, with everything else that's going on. That kind of thinking sounds like a luxury to me, something for the upper crust to engage in.

They're moving back after they realize they're going without electricity for a week or two, most years. And their house floods. And they're sitting 3 hours a day in traffic.

I'm fine with that, we're too full in Houston anyway. We don't have the infrastructure even to support the current population. If more people are desired, that's going to take a lot of expense and a lot of building. We could have started tackling the traffic and flooding problems decades ago, but chose not to.

There are decades of infrastructural debt that needs to be paid. The cracks are starting to show.

I've heard that people have done it, unfortunately they don't seem to be distributing their code. Otherwise I might run it on my own web server.

If you're looking at anything technical, your eye is already off the ball. This is about reducing competition.

Nobody outside the US is going to stop their development, but for those inside, the regime will give a corporate death sentence. This angle is top-of-mind for Anthropic, who last month were subject to just such a death sentence issued from the Pentagon. (They've got a stay of execution, now it seems they're doing hard labor to earn parole.)

Not sure, don't ever deal with POP3. Come to think of it, it may be the use of that protocol that they refer to with "legacy account configuration", and not the desktop application.

I'm assuming "legacy account configurations" means anyone who hasn't moved to "Outlook (new)" or whatever they're calling it this week. Meaning the vast majority of Outlook users.

Anyone reading this thread can see many examples of people describing attacks on chatbots as "social engineering", right here in the thread. A link wasn't needed for that.

It also has no bearing on my claim that another person, specifically a salesman, has claimed those attacks are impossible.

Deaths of millions? But the suffering of millions is so much more fun! Look at them go! All around the mideast, fighting for our amusement like the gladiators of old!

Maybe we'll set up a cage match in front of the White House and just have the G.I.s choke each other to death there. Watching on TV is cool, but it's hard to beat live entertainment.

The Public Health Department I worked for 5 years ago was releasing these mosquitos. We weren't the first either. Google wasn't involved and I've never heard their name in connection with these mosquitos until now.

They're basically Twitter posts. Half of them would get struck down for vagueness or nonspecificity if they were laws. Seems like people only obey about half of them, too. The ones they want to. Very religious in that regard.

I'm just wondering what happened to all the "conservatives" who told me for decades how evil executive orders were.

Was that link supposed to prove something?

Usually it's embedded in a list of other pitfalls the bots can avoid: drug use, family problems, enticement to jump ship to another employer, etc.

If you're not overseeing a service desk, and receiving pitches from AI companies, that may be why you haven't heard it.

Sounds, then, like someone should strip them of their wealth and power.

As long as "someone" isn't another rich, entitled asshole - then you're going in circles.

I think it's likely there was some dumbass passenger making an issue of it with the flight crew. With crazy lady yelling at them from one side, and extremely strict company policy regarding bomb threats on the other, I can see why they erred on the side of "keeping my job".

From other comments in this thread, it seems the Bomb Bluetooth speaker is a mass-produced, mass-market device that has probably been on hundreds of other flights without issue. Something different happened on this one.

I can't either, so we're already up to a majority of people, if you can extrapolate from this thread.
