> Also, I disagree that men in women's bathrooms is inherently predatory. Frankly, this discriminates against fathers of young children because often one has to bring a daughter into the bathroom or change their infants diaper.

I don't agree with you on this, in almost all circumstances they should be using the bathroom appropriate for the sex of the adult, which in this case is the male one. If there genuinely is no baby changing facility available that isn't in the ladies' bathroom then for the welfare of the child an exception can be made, but the father needs to check with the women using this space first.

This scenario is very different to the males who feel entitled to use women's spaces whenever they please and for their own satisfaction, rather than to provide for their child as in your example.

> Also, the bathroom thing is super weird, like how are you gonna enforce this in a non imposing, non disregarding of boundary way?

All that's really being asked for is for males to understand that female spaces are not theirs, to voluntarily refrain from entering, and to acknowledge that women have the right to have violators expelled.

The problem is that far too many males truly cannot conceive of the idea of simply respecting the space and boundaries of women. It literally doesn't cross their minds, so they immediately jump to whether or not women can forcibly stop them. The belief seems to be that if a woman cannot enforce this, they may take anything they like from her with impunity.

Perhaps that's not the connotation you intended, at least not consciously, when you wrote 'how are you gonna enforce this'. But I believe this form of male entitlement is what this implies, even with the best of intentions.
Alexa & Google Home work fantastic in these areas:

- Playing music
- Playing audiobooks
- Telling the time
- Setting timers for cooking.
- Giving the day's weather.

Alexa beats Google solidly in kid-friendly material.

I subscribe to the Amazon PrimeFancyMusic thing, and that works well for my Echo Studio.

I would agree that a GPT driven voice controlled system might be great.

What I would actually prefer would be a speaker system that I could drive with a command line tool _or_ voice. Arguably, a tidy enough installation on a RPi Zero connected to a dumb speaker would be sufficient for the CLI...

A "smart" speaker that simply did the above 5 tasks reliably and was driven off of music/audiobook subscriptions would be fantastic. It wouldn't shoot for the moon, but it would be a workhorse.
This https://youtu.be/wCl33v5969M helped me get a better understanding of the topic. If you are sincere about wanting to discuss this topic I kindly ask you to give it a chance.

You said the market cap is “undefined.” That is incorrect. Market cap is price per share times shares outstanding. If a company has shares, its market cap is defined by at least one among several metrics.
You're pinning a lot of hope on space, and I doubt it's going to work out to you.

You right now exist on a planet with an epic amount of empty space: deserts, oceans, and a ton of 3D volume under the ocean surfaces. You can spread out today, right now. You'll have air available for free, at a pressure and temperature you can tolerate (or easily modify to get there).

Space isn't going to improve your nihilism. It's incredibly hostile to life, and you'll put in all of your effort just keeping from asphyxiation. The rocks out there are different from earth rocks, but I bet you haven't even put much thought into all of the different kinds of rocks you have available to you right now.

I suspect you'll quickly get bored of the fact that non-living planets have a lot less going on than living ones. There will be a chance for people to do them the first time, but the low-hanging fruit will all be picked quickly, and everybody else is just going to be standing about wondering why they wanted so badly to go to a place with nothing interesting happening.

Don't get me wrong: space is cool and I'm glad we're going. But I don't think it's the existential cure-all that you (and many others) seem to imagine that it is. If your actual interest was spreading out, you'd already do it. I believe that your malaise is due to something else entirely, and I think you could take more realistic steps to do something about it.

Bard is honestly fine, I think? It wasn't particularly impressive when they first rolled it out, that probably had a significant impact on peoples' perception.
And let's be realistic, this is going to sell an absolute crapload of HL2 to a whole new generation of gamers.

High risk tolerance in a war-torn era which held military pilot lives cheap, expendable, noble to sacrifice.

(Not commenting which mindset is wiser or foolish-er; just think it worth highlighting, underscoring how starkly different our eras' mindsets are. I think it's worth pondering. Do you even know how many workmen died in the trenches of the Apollo Program industry? I don't have a clue either. That one SpaceX employee died on the job is national news in our time—in the 50's-60's, all blue-collar jobs were orders of magnitude more horrible).
I wasn't asking in an anti-union stance. I'm actually curious.

Of course I understand the general purpose of a labor union. But I also understand that there are many situations where a union is unnecessary and actually detrimental to the labor force.

For example, if I pay all my employees the same wage I make and pay for the same insurance and retirement plan I have, would it be beneficial to my employees to join a union? Sure, this hypothetical is extreme, but it's just to examine the idea.

Is a union a good thing if there are no abuses from which labor needs to be protected? So why do these employees want a union? What are the benefits if there are no abuses? If there are abuses, what are they?

I'd really like to know the specifics. I'm not arguing that there could be no benefit. I'm asking what the benefits are in this specific case. I expect that there are some but I don't want to assume what they are.

I hope that you will understand that my question was not as belligerent as yours seems to me.

A ton of coal will create much more co2 than ton of wood, isn't it?

For the same amount of energy the result should be similar amount of co2.

Coal is worse for people because burning it creates many unhealthy chemical components. Sulfur, heavy metals, etc
I live in SF and have two bikes (a road bike and a bike with a kid seat on the back), an eBike, and a car. I do lots of trips on my bike. When I am in a rush or need to go a bit farther or hillier than I feel comfortable on my bike, I often end up checking out an eBike. The fact that it's one-way is convenient but I also value that I don't have to worry about my bike getting stolen. The convenience and risk reduction is worth the few bucks to rent.

I almost never use my eBike. I prefer getting the exercise and the theft factor dissuades me from using it as a mode of transportation.
I'm not saying they aren't real desires, I'm saying that "the future can be whatever we want it to be" is hackable by advertisers and we should want some defense against that.

I'd say it's more of an opinionated approach to a web framework, which reduces boilerplate on a lot of simpler applications. In order to facilitate this, it ends up creating more of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) using macros and types for Rocket, which can be harder to manipulate in ways you might expect as a Rust developer.

Axum on the other hand tends to avoid macros and uses the type system in "more composable" way with other Rust crates, and while still providing a concise way to create web apps, has resulted in more boilerplate to hit the ground running in my experience.
Please definitely let me know when you get a chance to try it out! The readme has a link to our discord too if you want to get in touch (and you can email me directly too)
> I learned that perhaps Rust is not the right choice to make full-stack web apps and rewrote everything to Laravel (PHP) and Vue (JS).

I fully agree with you on this one and people have been saying this for a long time now, Rust and its kind has its place. Full stack web framework is not one of them.
That just makes it all the more embarrassing for any advertisers who remain. They'll have been beaten in the race to distance their brands from such content by IB fucking M.
I read it, I thought it was needlessly rhetorical and deliberately argumentative. Not at all constructive conversation, more of a reddit 'gotcha' than anything. In short, I don't think you're being very honest with your intentions, it's a bad look and I'm sure you can do better :)
In practice... the advertisers care about Facebook, Google, Youtube, TikTok, Instagram, Tencent (aka: Fortnite), Snapchat...

I'd be surprised if Twitter were a top-10 website for advertising. Last time I was looking at Twitter's advertising revenue, they were far smaller than I expected.

I'm unconvinced by the argument that "iPhone apps" and "Android apps" are the relevant categories, rather than just "smartphone apps". It seems like it leads to a slippery slope where every company that's not selling in a completely-generic category holds a monopoly over its own products. Ford holding a monopoly over F-150 pickup trucks, etc.

USA hired the most talented Nazis after the war was won (Operation Paperclip). The alternative would be for them to go to the Soviets.

This is different than selling war- and Holocaust-enabling machines before and during the war.
Public transit would work in a lot more places than you give it credit for. Sure Wyoming isn't dense enough, but that is because nobody lives there. If your town has 10,000 or more people public transit could work and would be cheaper than cars. However it requires a large investment to make it work. (the town of 10,000 can't work alone - it needs all the other towns in an hour drive to also have transit and a network of transit between them)
Swedish unions do not mandate membership, and do not "prevent other people from being hired", unless they're talking about speculative indirect effects like "setting a minimum salary kills jobs".

Members and non-members work together at the same companies, and the collective agreements between the unions and the employer organizations apply to all employees, not just members.

Large fire extinguishers are high-pressure cylinders that require high-precision valves. There are fewer than 10 manufacturers in the world that can do it - half of them are in the US and the DoD will spend what it takes to keep it that way.

You wouldn't want to end up like the EU and not have a single manufacturer that can do it, or (since Brexit) not have any that are legally allowed to import them. It's a good thing they can be refurbished when used, and that the authorities look the other way when a shipment arrives from a 3rd party...
Artemis is less expensive than Apollo, at least so far.

There is definitely a fighting over handouts component, but this mostly seems to be at the Congressional level where they legislate how the rocket will be built and what kind of boosters it will have, and those requirements have a habit of lining up nicely with existing defense contractors in the states they represent.

God I still love this game. The welcome speech of the Mark IV. How the scientist talk to each other, and how different the talk is when they speak with guards. How they first hope for a government rescue which decides to kill any and all in black mesa. How fearsome those black assassins are. That you can tickle that insect-bomb thing. In my opinion, HL2 felt much more scripted and less lively. No mention of a recompile for Intel 64bit Macs though.
> Public transit does not work in a place like Montana or Wyoming. Sorry. Too large, too sparsely populated.

And individual car ownership only works in those places because of the massive federal welfare they receive in the form of multi-billion-dollar federal highway grants.

The federal government spends over $1800 per person per year on roadways in Montana.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but people who work in ER have skewed opinions because they’re only dealing with the people who end up with serious injuries.

You need to look at the bigger picture - first of all what’s the probability of having an accident, then within that probability what’s the difference between wearing a helmet or not. That then needs to be compared against the risks of staying sedentary. It’s complicated.

Let me rephrase... Regardless of the interpretation of intent, this was not "rape in ff6" or "discussing rape", and "rape" is not in ff6.

If I heard as a parent that a game has rape in it, I am thinking "there is a scene in which a character is raped", and there is no way I would let my kids play that game, regardless of the rating, until I felt they were mentally or emotionally ready to be exposed to such an awful scene.

This is not rape in a game or anything like that. Speculation or interpretation of events or intent is FAR different than a scene literally displaying such an act.

So, my commentary in this thread has been to clarify, there is no such scene in this game, and any interpretation or speculation is just that. It does not explicitly actually occur in the game.
I agree, you are technically correct which is the best kind of correct I guess but it's irrelevant IMHO.

This is a combination of factors:

-- In any market, there are agents with a range of compensation options. It really isn't as straightforward as the "6%" that the public believes.

-- Brokerages more than agents set the commission. So you can have loads of new agents in a market and it won't change the commission.

-- It costs money to represent buyers and sellers. Drones, video, photography, glossy magazine spreads, social media, advertising buys, brokerage, MLS, and other fees, signs, key boxes - I can spend thousands on a property listing or dozens+ hours with a buyer with absolutely no guarantees that I'm going to get paid.
Wait a second, where is it said that those 75% were made by volunteers and not by for example the many companies contributing to the Linux kernel?
Celes is tortured, not raped (and its a shame they edited this in subsequent releases to be honest. The empire in the first half of the game loses alot of teeth in these "minor" edits).

I have played through FFVI more than a dozen times, including currently, right now, on my phone, I'm half way through yet another run, and I can't think of anything that invokes rape.

I'm also not really sure where gambling addiction comes in. Yes, Setzer ran a flying gambling airship, but its never really explored in any meaningful way.

This isn't meant to chastise so much as to set expectations aligned with the game.

The rest is true though. It does deal with passing of loved ones, attempted suicide, interspecies relationships (espers, Maduin / Madeline specifically), emotionless killers (Shadow AKA Realms dad, the entire personality of Kefka), abandonment, being able to love after trauma (The Terra story arc), fascism, prejudice (how the Magi are treated), genocide / mass murder for political gain (how the espers are treated), the dark side of technology, free will, the meaning of life, toxic masculinity (Edgar and women...oh boy I see it alot different now) and most importantly, never giving up no matter how hard things are or hopeless they seem.

Honestly, all of that stuff is there, and presented in what is (mostly) a pre-teen / early teen friendly way. If used appropriately, could be a spring board to discuss heavier things in life.
Perhaps more true to say the Ethernet brand is going strong.

What's marketed as "Ethernet" today is vastly different from the 10base5 "yellow hose" originally called Ethernet. Entirely different wiring, signaling, collision management, topology, interconnection strategies, et cetera. But it's been demonstrably the biggest of wins to promote each next generation, however technically different from and incompatible with the previous generation, under the same brand name!

Residents discover shopping trolley on top of lamppost sparks conspiracy theory
Google is no different from any other entrenched monopoly. It's hard for the organization to care about anything outside its core revenue enough to put significant weight behind it. How many technologies were passed on by Kodak, AT&T or Xerox in favor of their existing businesses that wound up being wildly financially successful.

The problem isn't Google here. It's how all potential competitors or even just any interesting tech startup is gobbled up by the big 4 (?) and then extinguished. Imagine if companies like IBM had been able to or allowed to do any of what Facebook or Google does to reduce competition.
If vacancy is at 0%, you increase supply and vacancy is still at 0% you should absolutely not expect prices to fall. In fact, you should expect exactly what is happening, the market will reevaluate it's prices upwards until vacancy reaches some positive value. It's economics 101. This software just makes the process hyper efficient, where as normally it'd be far slower as landlords would not have perfect information.

The only way to fix this is to drastically incentivize building to the point that supply is higher than demand.
The information (e.g. your comment) should not be flagged.

Some people "feel" like the chance of an accident driving a car is very high even when it isn't. If you "feel" like theft is very likely when it isn't, that is your problem. And I've had several bike stolen over the years (include being mugged with my bike) and it's taught me to take appropriate precautions to the point I feel fairly safe.
I think people have forgotten how many big-businessmen of the 1920s were pro-Nazi and antisemetic. IBM, Ford, and Charles Lindbergh come to mind immediately.

The 1920s and 1930s had a surprising amount of pro-Nazi sentiment. Remember, USA didn't learn about the Holocaust until 1943 or something (long after it started, and even then only as a rumor in niche papers). The proof of the Holocaust didn't hit until 1945 or later.

Meanwhile, America First Committee and German-American Bund were pushing pro-Nazi sentiments.

If we expand the political groups to the next degree of freedom (ex: Christian Front marched with German-American Bund. I don't know if you could call Christian Front a Nazi-organization, but they were 100% comfortable with marching with the literal Nazi groups), there were plenty of political groups who were "directly a Nazi supporter" and/or "were hosting political rallies and inviting the Nazis".
With all the aversion to ads = blockers, add in the European tracking standards that will probably become ours as well, are we seeing the decline and fall of all tracking ads? I see podcasts are down 50-75% - not sure why? But at some point anything with ads changes from a product you want, to one you want to avoid = pay $ for what you want - ad free, and skip the rest?
IBM also manufactured guns for the Allies, so take that as you will. Having their businesses on both sides of the war co-opted by the various governments is a tough position for any business.

>But I imagine that he can't just skip out on his obligation to the banks without a severe reckoning. Can he?

If you default on your bonds, your creditors can just force you into bankruptcy. In the context of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the company would have to propose a reorganization plan that was acceptable to the creditors.

One could imagine a debt-to-equity conversion during which Musk's holdings would effectively become worthless and the banks would end up owning the business. If the bondholders conclude that the business has value, but less if Musk keeps calling the shots, one can imagine an outcome like that.

At that point, best case is probably that you'd try to put a turnaround management team in place with a view to taking it public again.
