For any kind of industrial facility I’ve always felt like whosoever is most directly responsible for the safety and negative externalities of the facility should be required to live in the area most affected by them.
You responsible for safety at a chemical plant, our ass gets to live wherever will be most hit by a spill of whatever your most deadly product or reagent is.
You responsible for a data center, you get to live where the water and power issues are most felt.
I mean he said it in the song “Now get in the pit and try to love someone” - you can’t get much deeper in the pit than Trump.
I would assume it’s the one with the nonsense words they hired him to perform at the alternative half time show because the guy doing the real halftime show wasn’t singing in proper English.

Nobody much paid attention to that one until recently, after all he hadn’t been relevant at all for twenty years.
The cause of the cultural behavior usually has a purpose though.
Yeah, but not necessarily one that is still relevant or even ever actually worked towards whatever goal there originally was. Cultural inertia is like that.
So it probably at some point had a purpose, but that purpose (whatever it was) might or might not apply any more or even be total nonsense.
Except it’s almost certainly technically possible. Like I can guarantee you that human level intelligence is possible in a volume of less than 2L of hardware and running on just a few W of power. The idea that human level intelligence cannot be exceeded without needing to match those space, power, or materials restrictions is kind of absurd.
We’re not deleting the old copies. You’ll always be able to go and rewatch the original versions of these works.
…yet. Remember, you’ll own nothing and be happy with it. Or else.
I still find it amusing that the first time Amazon stripped people of a book they had purchased and remotely instructed all Kindle devices to delete already downloaded copies was a version of 1984. Couldn’t have been more fitting if they tried.

Covering parking lots has the benefit of also protecting parked vehicles from sunlight and weather, meaning your car isn’t blazing hot when you return to it and you can unload any purchases in peace.
Why would installing panels over a parking lot be many times more expensive than installing them in any other open, flat area? Is it having to bury the power lines?
Yeah, but then you’ve got the weirdos who don’t feel that way unless it’s a white character being cast differently and the other weirdos who think it’s only acceptable when it’s a white character being cast differently.
All of that is fair, except for one thing: you absolutely can see phenotype. It being observable characteristics is literally part of the definition. The pheno- prefix has a Greek root meaning to show or display, same origin as in phenomenon. A phenotype is thus categorizing something based on how it appears.
She was suggesting women should be codified to have more rights. He wrote back something like, “As to your extraordinary code of laws, I cannot but laugh.”
Now I’m curious what rights she felt they should be codified to have.
People doing drugs? They should be allowed to. Banning them doesn’t work; the government should just properly regulate them. Like how the EU is dealing with cigarettes. And in that case people would be less inclined to hide drug use.
Yeah, but a business doesn’t want someone to OD in their public bathroom - it’s bad for business.

It’s always about trans women and almost never about trans men (not that this is the main problem).
This part is because it usually roots from TERFs and from the TERF perspective it’s only trans women that are a problem. To be exact, they believe that you cannot change your birth sex and that sex is what’s important, not how you present or even identify. They also believe that men are sort of fundamentally evil. They’re only worried about “men pretending to be women” as they call them (aka trans women) because trans women might enter women’s spaces and the purpose of women’s spaces is to protect women from men, and in their minds the only reasons a “man” might “pretend to be a woman” and be in a women’s space is to prey on women whose guard is down because there aren’t supposed to be men present.
Essentially if you were born with the curse of the penis, you are fundamentally evil and the only reason you could possibly want to use the ladies’ room is because you are a dangerous pervert looking to prey on unsuspecting women in a vulnerable position. The idea that someone might genuinely identify differently than their birth genitals might suggest and not out of some malicious intent is literally outside of their philosophy.
It’ll be interesting to see how this aligns with the Full Faith and Credit clause for someone who updates their birth certificate from another state that allows for that then uses the bathroom that aligns with said certificate.
Only if the bill mentions birth certificate as the source for one’s “biological sex” and not something about genotype or phenotype at birth (both of which have different issues).
I guess the right response to this is to get the absolute manliest-looking trans men to Idaho to use the public ladies’ room in places frequented by lots of the most fragile GOP-types. Monkey’s paw that shitstain of a bill.
Nothing in the law requires some kind of online server. Only a local API, which a local library that can be linked is. And it only requires age to bebe described in four brackets, hence just storing a value 0-3. Didn’t see anything obvious as to why this wouldn’t actually meet the requirements, while being as dumb and pointless as possible.
Am I missing something or would the following not meet the requirements?
Add a module that does the following:
On first account login to an interactive interface, ask for an age category (<=13, 15-15,16-17,18+). So a value between 0 and 3. Store that somewhere alongside user-level application settings. Include a library for applications to link against. Library contains one function, that function just returns whatever value was stored before.
I think that meets their bare minimum while also demonstrating just how dumb this is.
Were they? I’ve never seen any real evidence to support that.
Post 8chan Q is very probably Ron Watkins, 4chan era Q is less certain but there are indications it was a South African software developer named Paul Furber.
Not saying they didn’t take their marching orders from Bannin or Epstein, but I’d want evidence of such. And no, the evidence that Epstein played a role in /pol/ existing at all isn’t enough on its own.
Really? I would have figured the Rapture route would be workable with the right engineering. Especially given the massive amounts of borderline free cooling and non-existing regulatory environment if outside territorial waters.
That’s because we’re in relatively early R&D and are trying to speedrun things in a way we generally don’t with most tech. To compare to tech you understand and are familiar with, where we’re at currently would be equivalent to like the internet in the late 80s/early 90s, except we’ve all seen how that went and everyone wants to be the Amazon, Microsoft or Google of the AI market when it moves from high R&D and little to no profit to becoming a mainstream part of everyday life.
That transition point will probably be when bipedal robots that can do most tasks as well as a human while running a local model get cheap enough to be sold as industrial equipment. It’s why Asian labs (especially Chinese ones) keep showing off bipedal robots doing tasks that require either significant agility or fine motor skills involving predicting where body parts are (like doing needlepoint without being able to see it’s hands or doing dance routines).
