Yes, it's America.

Israel was founded by the US specifically for fucking up the middle east, mission accomplished.

Wondering how to get more ROI, we used it to conduct research the taxpayer wouldn't pay for here, but accepted "foreign aid" for Israel. Then we import the technology.

Yes and no. Starbucks seems dominant and they over-roast their coffee. It works well for the super sugary espresso drinks but terrible for anything else. We have every imaginable variety of coffee just like anyone else. I am drinking a perfectly normal espresso roast right now, in a cappuccino.

They also to an incident (and not almost) didn't smear shit on the walls or kill cops. Your false equivalence here is obvious support for the same child raping president you claim to not support. No one is stupid enough to buy your bullshit here.

Crawling out of their hidey holes to take a pot shot at fark.

Just out of curiosity where did you slink off to? I know it wasn't Reddit because the overall tone there is the same as fark. Maybe truth social? Or twitter? I guess there's always 4chan.

Any website that controls its trolls and racists is inevitably going to look like sjw because despite what El presidente is telling you social justice is actually a good thing. We used to call it civil rights until a billion dollar propaganda campaign told you to think about it as sjw and an insult.

Sooner or later if you live long enough you're going to be on the other end of that barrel. If you're still posting to a dead forum like this then you are not nearly wealthy enough to escape what's coming. And just certainly not sharp enough. Anyone with a lick of sense isn't posting here anymore. This is just a place you go to yell at clouds.

Funny thing is the crowd around here is smart enough to know that the Epstein class is coming for their property. I wonder why knowing that they continue to back those people. Like Donald Trump is a establishment goon and guys like you who spout the letter is sjw on ironically just love him. Oh here's the part where you deny that so that you can do a credibility enhancing display... Either that or you will accuse me of TDS.

Fun fact Joseph Stalin used to have his enemies declared legally insane with questionable medical diagnosis. Funny fact number two Donald Trump and some of the Republicans have tried to get trump derangement syndrome declared a medical condition... Your side is literally copying Stalin. How do you think that's going to work out for you?

I have to push back against your assumption that Rust is a language that limits developers. It absolutely does not. As for the AI bit... I use AI to write code all day. It's great, but it makes the same sort of mistakes humans do. I find Rust is a great language for AI to write (under appropriate supervision).

I have fun programming in Rust. I don't like programming in C. I do like programming in C++. I like building type systems that prevent errors and automate drudgery. Both C++ and Rust let me do that, C does not.

I think the point of your "you will have fun programming in C" is that in both languages (and C++) you spend a fair amount of time thinking about low-level details of what the compiler is generating. That's true, and I like thinking about memory layouts, cache lines, what the optimizer is going to do, etc. But I don't like all of the tedium C forces on me.

On balance, I prefer Rust over every other language I've used.

Unless those servers are owned by Microsoft, and then they've had multiple breakins where there are no logs so they don't know what happened

I have never in my life met somebody who has one of those flags and isn't all on board the fascist train.

I'm sure somewhere out there in the 340 million people in America one of them exists. But there are so few of them compared to the fascists pretending they give a shit about civil rights that if they do exist they are completely drowned out by the fascists they hang out with.

Honestly the whole gun thing is just that it's their hobby and their friend group.

I figured that out years ago when a buddy of mine talk to me about it. About how he has all these fond memories of shooting guns with his dad and grandad and how a big part of his friend group is fellow gun nuts.

It's like how people spend insane amounts of money on Warhammer 40K because all their social life is tied up with it. It's the same thing with guns. When you threaten to take away people's guns you aren't threatened to take away their guns you're threatening to take away their friends and their family.

That's why they have such a hissy fit about it. And it's why it's useless to try and take them away. If you want to stop shootings then you're going to have to find another way then just taking all the guns away.

They will just argue that they thought that the person they murdered was a danger to the community.

You're not going to let Willie Horton go are you?

Everyone flying your “don’t tread on me” flags, now is your time to speak up. Isn’t this in your purview?

Wait, that's backwards. Coming from Microsoft means we know it's malware.

Nonsense. You can ask the user to approve whole classes of action, that is still consent

It's a link aggregator. What the hell is going on that they won't survive a year? I know hosting prices have skyrocketed because of AI slop bullshit but still... As far as I know they don't have video directly on the site and that should be the only thing that really guzzles bandwidth.

The systems aren't creative they're just really really fancy search engines that regurgitate what they have ingested.

Best case scenario this is going to be a large increase in productivity in a society that already has problems with automation devouring jobs.

If China was actually communist I think that might be useful. Since they wouldn't be dependent on jobs to distribute goods and services. But China is the furthest thing from communist.

That said I know the argument can be made that it's basically impossible for any country to become communist as laid out by Karl Marx and that's not a hill I want to die on. But we have been automating factory work and blue collar work non-stop since the eighties. Workers have lost a lot of leverage because of that and pay his gone down noticeably and measurably.

It's all well and good to say we should embrace new technology but if we aren't socially and economically and hell emotionally capable of that what then?

In a world where if you don't work you don't eat we keep eliminating jobs through automation. How is that going to be sustainable?

And if you're going to tell me they're going to be new jobs, be specific. Tell me exactly what those new jobs are going to be.. are we all going to be plumbers? Is it plumbers all the way down?

We have major social problems that I don't think anyone has any solution to biting Us in the ass. And so far everybody's solution seems to be the just pretend the problems don't exist, stick their fingers in their ears and yell la la la at the top of their lungs.

In America the laws literally are optional for the rich and powerful. If you do get convicted you simply purchase a pardon for $1 million.

It's a mental illness.
