A lot of people would need to find new jobs or transform them. I was wondering if anyone would see past the personal computing implications. I didn’t say anything to see how people would think naturally. With only a month to adjust, that would require a lot of fast movement. There has to be a buck to be made somewhere in that.
File distribution would have to move back to CDs or, more likely, SD cards with current software sizes. Games could still be sold. But the big question is what will happen with 90% of businesses that make use of the internet?
I just figured the truth was welcome here.
It’s not a bad film though.
Definitely not hard sci-fi.
Also because it’s obvious and saying it only fans more flames for WWIII. We’re having a hard enough time preventing it with Israel actively trying to derail any attempts at peace. It took long enough to get Trump even pushing in that direction. It will take a miracle for him to not get distracted. The last thing we need is to make this an open contest between world powers and double down on this mess.
But Zelenski doesn’t care. He’ll fan whatever flames if it help him with his conflict. This is the problem with having all these proxy countries associated with you. They don’t always have your exact same strategic priorities or alignment with your goals. Our goal should be to get the US out of war. And both of these countries (Ukraine and Israel) want us in.
Well clearly people could use it to find security holes in their backend, since those def exist.
So the issue is having two leopards. We live in a zoo.
They would have to be baggy jeans. There is very little value in a deep pocket that doesn’t have space to move things in and out of that pocket. Women’s jeans, with exceptions, tend to hug.
Israel. And they don’t want the war to stop. So the second there is peace they will tear it up. If the US wants peace, and we should, we need to decouple our negotiation from Israel. But we can’t do that while we fund their military because Iran would be reasonable to think that if we stop fighting per our deals that we are then using Israel as a proxy to get around the deal.
It is a very dangerous thing that we’ve given these people money. Now we can’t negotiate deals independently. We can’t be decoupled from their actions since we’ve funded those actions. So the US can’t have peace as long as we fund people who are dead set on maintaining conflict. We can’t cancel funding to Israel fast enough.
Trump needs to learn what a frenimy is. When you have a friend that fucks up everything you do, they aren’t your friend. It is safer to turn your back on an enemy than a false friend.
You missed an important one.
Put blind trust into an ally that takes advantage of you every chance they get

Go to war against a country that has a higher favorability with your people than either yourself or the country they were fighting.
Thanks for catching that. I also need to get the relative time rounding instead of rounding down. When it’s 1d 18h away, it makes it read like it’s happening on Friday.
My top one is writing my own project management software, and maintaining it for over a decade as its only user, because without it I would be 100% dysfunctional. It could be argued that the software isn’t even that good. But it involves ranking the tasks against each other so at the end you have to pick something concrete.
How is it dumb? It would be very effective PR with the American people. Punishing Trump politically is an effective whip of a stick to say, hey, don’t put your hands on me. It’s exactly why they closed the Strait of Hormuz. And it’s been effective. Now, Trump’s current war objective is fixing the problem that didn’t exist before he started the war. But invoking the Epstein list doesn’t even cost American citizens anything, making it a cost-free way to do the same thing (the cost being the number of people who will blame Iran instead of Trump). This hurts Trump a lot when the “enemy” is more popular with the people than their own president. And this hurt may encourage distance between the US and Israel when Trump may blame Israel for pushing him into a bad move. He’s not going to blame himself.
Just calling something dumb and appealing to a consensus that doesn’t exist isn’t an argument.
This whole war BTW was really caused by Iran being the only country brave enough to punish genocide. And when we punish them for that we are putting our own force behind genocide. Iran has their flaws. But I rank every moral consideration behind genocide and the willingness to punish genocide. Everything else is a secondary morality. So they are the good guys here. They may be bad guys in some other layers of morality. But so is Israel and the US. The most current genocide to have occurred supercedes any other issue or false obligation to national loyalty.
If Trump wants to save political points, he should just admit he’s wrong. Seeing how he’s never done that ever, he would genuinely win points by doing that. At least a few American people would be impressed by that. No one is going to be impressed by him digging us deeper into a war that we all know will last 30 years if we keep going.
If we want to avoid giving into age verification we’ll still need to be selective about the Linux. But we have a chart.
I will gladly lose a California market. Users can use a VPN anyway.
What a sour thing to say.
Very nice of the bank to teach me how to dodge investigations like that. Without those tips I’d never know.
Right. A more likely one is that having staff in a building at all are a liability and so all these warehouses are moving to robots. There will be an oversaturation of warehouse workers vs sites still using them, and so these fires are just going to bring wages lower.
