Are you saying that the US/it's allies destroyed Nordstream 2?

Is there any proof of that?

One possible advantage here depends on how you do this, but you could make it easy for others to add/edit dog facts and thus help you maintain the data (with moderation, if wanted). Is this something you are interested in? This can be complimentary to the API - it doesn't have to replace it.

> Plastic doesn't recycle, at a practical scale.

An waste industry buddy of mine designs landfills, and this is his take too. It's better to throw your plastic into regular trash (and other recyclables into the recycle bin), because then you at least know it's likely to end up in a landfill where it's safe, instead of being exported and dumped in the sea.
Did you see the email it generated? That’s far from canned.

And that’s the point, ChatGPT isn’t a canned email. It’s generated, sure, but you’re not sending the same email to 10 people.
But that's how trust works. If you don't trust them to pull in safe dependencies, then you don't really trust them.
Looking at the slow, but consistent pace of the Generated Imagery I assume and hope that there will be a new step in personalization of the services.

Right now Google, YouTube, StackOverflow, PornHub, Netflix perform search in the database.

But imagine, that you ask for something on Netflix and a whole movie will be generated for you.

We can see glimpses of this in ChatGPT vs Google, and I hope that this direction will grow to the mature phase.
Sure, but then your software would cost a lot more to develop and you'd have to pay for that. TANSTAAFL and all that.
Why would we have to give two damns about American demands, I don't see that having any chance.
> There was no doubt in her mind: Smyla had put that envelope into her recycling bin. “That's polyethelene, and I'd recycle that. If it’s got the recycling symbol on it, into the bin it goes,” she says. “I get a lot of Amazon packages, and they all go into the bin, too.”

This thanks to Big Oil.

Most telling is the person in the article with some experience working in the recycling industry who was ignorant of the fact that her curbside recycling program does not accept the blue and white Amazon mailers, nor did she know that the paper shipping label must be removed (often an impossible task without solvents or a lot of time and patience) prior to drop off at the supermarket collection bin.
>That is barbaric, that you even have to consider your health vs your money.

Why is health care any different from Food, Shelter, Transportation, or any other thing we require but have to pay for in the market?

Should government take over all grocery stores and provide you with "free" food as well?

The idea that it is barbaric to charge for healthcare does not pass even a first pass logic test. To believe that you must reject the very idea of capitalism and market based economics, and if that is your position well history has a lot of lessons for you...

>I've talked to many many many many americans who are reluctant to even go to a dr for a simple checkup because they cannot afford it.

There are many reasons to forego that, I suspect the cost is not the only reasons. How many of them have even looked into what the price would be to go? I bet very few have taken even the first steps to find out. Cost is an easy scape goat

>In most first world countries you can go to the dr any time for free.

It is far far far far from free, taxpayer funded is not free. Most of those nations also look to the US protect the world, See the latest in UKR, while the US is spending billions there I do not see the EU, Candada or any other nation matching our defense contribution, either to UKR or NATO, or anywhere else. personally I would support moving to more of a medicare for all if (and only if) we go in to full isolationism and let the EU defend themselves

that is with out getting into all the problems with EU, UK, or Canada Health systems (wait time, rationing, etc). Lots of rich people come to the US from those nations for care for a reason
"The US is the only country that claims to be able to tax the earnings of its citizens outside of its borders."

China, Eritrea tax worldwide income of non-resident citizens.

A bunch of other countries do it in limited circumstances, e.g.

- French citizen living in Monaco

- Some countries tax non-resident citizens living in tax havens
The US can service essentially any level of debt, and has far lower levels of debt than, most notably, Japan, which continues to function entirely normally.
Putin gives eight gold rings to presidents of CIS countries, keeps ninth
They both sound much better, but still are essentially zero-substance drivel.

- Or they could buy your insurer and use the information they have on you.

- They could use it for some corporate espionage.

- Perhaps you or your boss need to be convinced that you should sell Chinese HVAC equipment instead of Korean.

And ignore you own, what a wonderful scenario for you.
There are things called accumulation systems for lines that serve as a buffer to make the line more resilient and able to function if there is a malfunction somewhere in the line. It took me a bit of time to think of the name but I have seen them on large production lines down to small brewery bottling/canning systems.

I had a partner who worked on airline optimization several years ago, as I recall there were standby aircraft in some places that could be deployed to fix problems like a plane needing unexpected maintenance. Or even needing a single label required to be flightworthy. That Southwest doesn't use hubs likely makes it more difficult to recover from this kind of disruption before breaking.

Private Chromium-based browser windows share state between tabs, at least on Windows*. You need to close out all private instances of that "install" of the browser to drop the contents: They are just not saved into a history, beyond that tab's history. Cookies, however, are stored (in memory, I am guessing) until the session closes.

This is probably the best argument for AWS/GCP/Azure even though it is becoming more and more obvious you don't really save that much money.

The whole thing is one giant trap of playing the game right, or falling through the giant cracks never to be seen again. Worse than that, all the means testing and adjudications and determinations are actually /expensive/ - mountains of paperwork and appeals and this and that and the other all because the US is simple obsessed that someone, somewhere, might be getting something they don't deserve.

You're correct that some of the scams yield hundreds of thousands of dollars. Like I said, I knew someone to whom that happened. However, most scammers look for smaller payouts in quantity. Think of ransomware that make it look like your computer is full of viruses just so they can "sell" the uninstaller for a few hundred bucks. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of these incidents for every one incident involving a large $100K+ payout.

It makes sense, given that people are willing to act a lot more independently (without consulting others) when only a small amount is on the line, they often won't admit to these missteps out of embarrassment, AND, perhaps most importantly, it won't raise the ire of federal law enforcement enough to be concerned about things like extradition and prosecution.

We got mixed messages. Some didn't offer nuance, others did. The conflation of messages boiled down to the simplest, and misattributed.

We've also had the CDC telling us the vaccines are safe and effective, when neither are strictly true. They may be less dangerous than getting a severe case of COVID, but they don't confer immunity, and they don't stop you from spreading it, in direct contradiction to other statements they've made.

Is it any wonder that people misremember who exactly told them that masks did or don't work, and when they heard it?

Shadowbanning Is Real
Certainly, there are countries in a worse place than the United States. Japan or Italy are the first to be likely to blow up in a big way. Greece is a good candidate for blowing up first, but it is small enough to be backstopped by the ECB. Italy is too big to be backstopped. The USA may fall, but it probably won't be the first major economy to do so.

Historically, governments have been prone to currency crises when their debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds 100%. The USA is just slightly above that now, and interest rates have remained low here (and in other countries) because central banks are monetizing the debt. But that can't be sustained forever.

Same here. Audio messages are easy to create for the sender but a nightmare to parse for the receiver. Whenever I receive an audio message I automatically tend to assume that the sender thinks of their time as more valuable than the receiver, which is acceptable in some cases (from busy PhD advisor to advisee) but I find unacceptable in other cases, for example in peer-to-peer communication.

Do you really think there's more to the human brain than a more-complex version of a computer? I think we've all established that the brain is a network of neurons with different structures that do different processing and that the neurons work in a specific way to turn sensory inputs and memories into thoughts and actions. We don't know everything about the metaphysical aspects of how the mechanics turn into "consciousness" but we pretty much know that we could, with a powerful machine, simulate most of the mechanics ourselves. Maybe an AI isn't as complex as our biological computer, but that's because our AIs run on computers that are only several dozen generations in, versus our brains which are several million generations in. Perhaps in several million generations of our AI hardware and software, we'll come up with something as computationally powerful as our brains.

Sorry, I did read it and by my reading it looks like a non-reciprocal request for access to a lot of EU data that isn't supposed to leave the EU at all, ever, especially not in bulk.

What alternative reading do you have?

The problem with the approach outlined in the document is that it tries to break open the EU by approaching member states individually, possibly even to access data from other member states, something that I have a serious problem with.
How do you punish and manipulate a government without punishing its people, either as a side effect or direct goal?

If you question whether your electronic device is compromised, it probably is.

Cloudflare's free tiers are hard-free; they stop working if you exceed the free tier usage (at least for compute; storage is different).

Pages is essentially totally free. R2 is within the same pricing magnitude as S3. D1 is a very new product and afaik is still in beta and doesn't have production pricing yet; so be weary there. Zero Trust is less usage and more per-user, I think $7/mo/user.
Regulation sometimes helps remind the free market that fuckups like this can come with real human costs.
Naming things is probably the most important part of programming. If you’re struggling to give a function a good name it probably means that it’s the wrong level of abstraction. For example if you find yourself naming a function something like “submitAndParseResult” that’s probably an indication that it should be broken up into two functions.

I used to give a code refactoring exercise as a part of my interview process and I remember one candidate spent most of the exercise just naming the variables and breaking sections of the code into separate functions that didn’t actually improve the performance but made it much more readable. I hired him on the spot.
> (as the EU does for Americans traveling into the EU)

This doesn't seem true unless the US citizen is resident in a Schengen area country or (as a technicality) is also an EU/Schengen area citizen, as the EU seems slightly more in favor of government collection of biometric data for automated immigration purposes. I'm not sure about the reverse, as even the CBP seems to be moving towards facial recognition in place of fingerprint data, but it seems like most non-US/Canadian visitors are required to provide fingerprints.
