So where’s my free money?

I actually feel really sorry for the career attorneys who make the representations in court on the political apparatus’ behalf,

Don’t, they are 100% part of the problem.

No, you can’t simulate 1 particle using only 1 particle.

Yes, I shouldn’t have written that, because that’s kind of moronic. 🤡

To simulate a single base particle would require millions of atom equivalents.
In our universe, to simulate 1 atom, requires millions of atoms.
So to simulate our universe perfectly, would require a universe more than a million times more complex, and even then everything in that universe would be used only to simulate our universe.

we can’t possibly know what this external universe looks like.

I 100% agree, except what we can know, is that it must be infinitely more complex then this. It’s a necessity of math and logic.
But what it looks like or what the laws are, we cannot know. Only that it’s more complex.

Apart from that, I agree that no matter if this is a simulation or not, it remains our reality that we continuously try to better understand.

😋 👍 Clever.

If the universe we live in is a simulation, the universe that simulation exist in, must be infinitely millions of times more complex than the one we live in, to be able to have the necessary storage and computational power to simulate our universe.
Is that really a likely scenario?

Don’t answer that, because obviously the chances are fifty fifty, it either is or it isn’t. /s

OK groundhog day, that’s very specific to USA.
Don’t know how it became a soul thing though.

?

Yes I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s very very difficult.

Denmark’s leading anti-piracy group is shifting to a more aggressive litigation strategy.

Unless the students are acting incredibly naive, it’s almost impossible for the anti-piracy group to lift the burden of proof here.
In general all you have to do is to claim you know nothing about it. For instance having “evidence” that your IP address was used for download is useless as evidence.

Also the Anti Piracy group has a reputation of themselves working outside the law here, so maybe an investigation into this group could be a good idea.

https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Schlüter

Johan Schlüter was for many years the embodiment of anti piracy in Denmark forming “AntiPirat Gruppen” (Anti Piracy Group).

I 2014 idømte en fransk domstol ham 18 måneders ubetinget fængsel

Translation: In 2014 a French court gave him 18 months UNCONDITIONAL prison term!
The case was followed up with a €5 million lawsuit. For the fraudulent handling of Charles Trenet copyrights.

In 2015 he was reported to police for defrauding 100 million DKK from copyright holders. The investigation found “inconsistencies” in 4 companies owned by Johan Schlüter tro the amount of 200 million DKK (€30 million). Later that year AntiPirat Gruppen" was declared bankrupt.

i juni 2017 tiltale mod Schlüter og to andre advokater i Schlüters advokatfirma.

Translation: In July 2017 cases were raised against Schlüter and 2 other lawyers in the company.

So the people handling these copyright investigations and cases do not have the best reputation. In fact they are the real thieves stealing from copyright holders, embezzling their money through their judicial con job. Promising to help, but doing more harm than good, to a degree that in Denmark laws have been changed to basically protect against activities by anti piracy lawyers that are immoral and illegal.

Thanks for posting, but people will find something else stupid to complain about, because there is pretty obviously a storm of propaganda against Firefox, which I very much suspect is driven by interests that are against an open and free internet.

Blocking these features may calm some people, but in reality, none of these features were used for anything unless specifically used by the user. So the claim of it making Firefox slower or using more resources or being used for telemetry were all outright lies.

A sentiment is tried to be created that Firefox is just as bad as Chrome, Edge, Brave and Safari when nothing could be further from the truth. But even people who consider themselves IT savvy are falling for it. 🙁

Interestingly these attacks on Firefox coincide with Chrome getting steadily worse, forcing Googles own standards and preventing plugins that block advertising, while reducing functionality for Firefox on Google/Alphabet owned sites.

It doesn’t matter how many other countries you have on board if the Federal government of USA won’t allow it.
Secession can’t happen is the default. To change that a lot of ifs are required, both a lot and some very big ones.
No country is more powerful than USA, and even if there were such countries, they have no right to interfere in internal affairs of USA.
USA is extremely undemocratic and authoritative compared to EU, where the states have way better protections and are allowed to leave the union.
If Americans think the “world” can help them think again. Because they neither can or will.

False equivalence.

I don’t get it? Why are these protests not anti government? Do they consider everything else that is going on OK?
Cutting healthcare, the obvious corruption, and destroying the American economy in multiple ways, and making Americans poorer by devaluing the US Dollar.
But apparently Americans are OK with losing their democracy, and people working 2 jobs living in poverty without healthcare!

Protesting ICE is of course a place to start, but despite the protests ICE is still active in Minnesota!

Unfortunately USA is not a free country, and secession is illegal.
History shows that military force will be used in case states try to secede.

WTF?!
I know Sweden is way more liberal with what is considered street legal than Denmark,

systemet kräver i sin nuvarande form ständig förarövervakning

Translation: The system in its current form requires constant driver supervision

So it’s more like “assisted self driving” which of course is an oxymoron.

I åratal har Tesla sålt funktionen ”total självkörningsförmåga”

Translation: For years Tesla has sold the function “fully autonomous (self) driving.”

I wonder why they are allowed to advertise that?
But it seems it is following EU regulation, so I guess we can’t blame Sweden for it. But those shitty Tesla cars shouldn’t be street legal in EU even without FSD.

45% Failure rate!

A 4 year old model Y revision just reached the age of mandatory safety check here in Denmark.

Article in Danish:
https://fdm.dk/nyheder/nyt-om-trafik-og-biler/tesla-skandalen-fortsaetter-naesten-hver-anden-tesla-model-y-dumper-til-syn

Translation of the headline:
The TESLA Scandal continues, almost every 2nd Tesla model Y flunk safety check.

The previous record was held Buy Tesla model 3 with about a third of the cars failing!
The average for all brands is about 7%.
And a similar priced VW ID.4 is less than 2%. LESS THAN!
Without question the VW is way better quality, and even the cheapest Chinese cars we can get here have way lower failure rate than Tesla!

So very obviously Tesla and safety are not things that go together.

This is what many of us warned against already 20 years ago. It’s one of the inherent dangers of ALL proprietary software.
Back then most people didn’t believe or understand it, now that such dangers are out in the open, nothing continues to happen about it.
Everybody knows today, but (almost) nobody gives a shit.
