I was semi-related to a guy who would drag his oxygen tank to the kitchen so he could smoke by the window.

Serinus ,

Unless it's badger, badger, badger era. These kids don't even know about Trogdor, the Burninator.

Serinus ,

They always miss this part. It's (part of) why the Republicans wanting to be Russian-style oligarchs is so insane. And ignoring good faith government and their disregard for the rule of law.

Do they KNOW what happens to Russian oligarchs? Why do they think they're immune to that part of it? Do they really want the cutthroat politics of places like Russia and Africa, where they constantly have to watch their backs?

These people already have money. Their aims, if achieved, will not make their lives better.

Many years ago the people who ruled this country figured out that the best thing for them was to spread power and have most civilians in good health. Government by committee and good faith government is less about ethical treatment of citizens (though I appreciate the side effect) and more about protecting the committee and/or the would be dictator.

Serinus ,

A battery is ~$8300 - 10k. It's amazing how many places will try to charge $16k.

Serinus ,

If it was that easy to do it right, you'd have small businesses offering to do it for thousands, instead of the current going rates, which is tens of thousands.

Serinus ,

Way too much sense. We're gonna have to drown this out with a gallon of troll farm.

Serinus ,

Primaries are also a thing, generally. By all means, do more than vote.

But voting is the bare minimum.

Serinus ,

If we could win by more than the slimmest margins, there'd be a hell of a lot more room for division within the party.

Ideally the Dems would win so hard that the Republicans would be forced to change or go extinct. And ideally, the Republican party would lose so badly for so long that they cease to be relevant and the Dems split into two parties.

Why 48% of the country votes against this is mind boggling.

I recently called my ISP to complain about the internet issues for the last 5 hours. I told them I'm a dev and kind of know what I'm doing. I've already tried multiple devices, restarted the modem multiple time, etc. You know, I haven't restarted the router.

As I was pulling up the router page, I tried to ping cnn.com from the router's tools. It went through. On the desktop it wouldn't. It's my pi-hole.

Sorry, ISP. This one's on me.

Was a real easy call for the support guy though.

Serinus ,

Why's it gotta be the brown properties?

Serinus ,

Maybe it's just really lazy spin? I could see it as a creative tactic poorly executed by AI.

Serinus ,

Okay, go buy some of Rudy Giuliani's gold then. Enjoy.

Serinus ,

I could go into all the political bullshit that's likely the cause of this, but this is pretty ineffective if so. It probably doesn't matter.

Serinus ,

Which I'm sure was true. It would certainly be a lot faster to debug FSD after a number of deaths for each bug.

Serinus ,

So worst case you might turn off this feature.

Serinus ,

This happens with cash too. If you take in a bunch of cash, you have a duty to know what it's from so that you're not facilitating terrorism or crime or subverting sanctions. In fact, of you handle cash or finance, you generally have to take training on these laws every year.

This thing is the definition of money laundering and was known for exactly those problems.

Serinus ,

I don't think you understand. Banks (or anyone who accepts large amounts of money) has a duty to have some idea of where that money comes from. There are anti money laundering laws.

Go open a bank account right now and try to deposit a briefcase full of $50,000 in cash and see what happens. You might, maybe be able to do it, but there will absolutely be questions.

Serinus , (edited )

He can write the code. He can release the source. Nothing is illegal until he takes currency.

Serinus ,

a screenshot of a text message conversation. The text messages are from an encrypted app conversation between Roman Semenov, the defendant, Roman Storm, and CC-1.

He's taking a fee in order to launder your money.

Serinus ,

Stack overflow was the pioneer of hallucinations.

Serinus ,

hindustantimes.com

Is not a source I'm familiar with. But everyone wants to believe it, so upvotes it is.

Serinus ,

Maybe it's AI trying to hit keywords.

Serinus ,

The bear isn't likely to want to screw with you.

Serinus ,

batteries catching fire don’t mesh with garage storage

Your gas powered car is more likely to burst into flames than your electric car.

It is. Currently I don't have a machine where I can both install and test code.

NCIS found the best solution to security years ago.

Serinus ,

They tend to make breaking changes every other release, which is always the release that people hate. (Granted, I don't know wtf they've done with usability in Windows 11, but at least I can't move the taskbar anymore.)

Serinus ,

They did, but Elon asked one of them for a latte and they brought him one with 2% instead of oatmilk so he gutted the whole department.

/s, because it might be to be specified.

Serinus ,

I haven't been entirely happy with Bitwarden for other reasons. You can't self host and share with one other person without paying them $40/year. Their advertising is deceptive, because they say you can do both for free. But that one or the other, not both.

You also can't easily share individual passkeys outside of the app. If you want to grab a passkey, you have to export your entire vault.*

It's basically annoyance-ware.

* note that sharing passkeys is not best practice, but there are use cases.

Serinus ,

Yeah, VaultWarden sounds like the answer.

Serinus ,

17 million seems like a lot, doesn't it.

Elon wants a 56,000 million pay package.

Serinus ,

I didn't understand the downvote I'm the first half... and then I read the rest.

Serinus ,

For anyone not familiar, look up the double wave experiment.

It's not a thing that should happen, but it clearly does.

Serinus ,

Rival is better than enemy, but yes. We're as friendly with China as we are enemies. It's complicated, but I don't want the simple version to be the narrative.

Serinus ,

The algorithm either isn't as valuable as they believe or the government's concern is legitimate and we have a real problem.

Serinus ,

For the record, they're not currently sending data to China. Though they'd probably only have to gently twist one or two arms and need about 12 hours to do so.

Serinus ,

No. The bill is quite specific about that.

Serinus ,

His point would be legit and fine if he didn't tack on the "only I am right and you are wrong" part.

It's true that we should be passing something like GDPR that ensures privacy in all apps, and not just TikTok.

But I'm certainly in favor of going after TikTok regardless. I hope Facebook and Google and Reddit and Apple are next on the list.

Serinus ,

👀

Serinus ,

That's the guy who's worked there for six months and exaggerated his role there, right?

I'm in favor of the bill, but I want the information we have to be accurate.

Serinus ,

Like Travis Scott and those people he helped kill though crowd crush?

Serinus ,

And she tells her fans to go vote. Republicans really don't like high voter turnout.

Serinus ,

I think it asks "Are you sure?" now first.

Serinus ,

Most of TSLA is held by retail. Institutional investors are around 13%, Elon is around the same. (From memory)

Elon said he and his brother will abstain from the vote. They're also going to spend millions to influence the vote.

It'd be pretty stupid for the shareholders to approve either. They also want to move the incorporation from Delaware to Texas, because apparently Delaware isn't corporation friendly enough.

It'll be interesting to see whether common sense or propaganda is more effective on TSLA retail shareholders.

Come on guys, just give up your legal rights and money. Elon needs control.

Serinus ,

The entire scalping/resale market arguably shouldn't exist, instead tickets should be refundable within reason, at which point the organiser can issue and sell new tickets.

I had to think about this for a minute, but this is exactly the way to handle it. Don't allow direct transfers at all. You don't get to pick who gets your tickets (and therefore scalping can't exist.). But you still can refund your tickets (maybe with a SMALL fee) up to a couple hours before the event. I hope we don't need legislation to say they have to be sold for the same price they were originally offered for. We don't want an incentive for Ticketmaster to steal people's tickets when a venue sells out.

Serinus ,

And you absolutely do get better at the job over time. A seasoned employee doing nearly anything is better at it if they've done it a few years.

Serinus ,

I mean, after the first couple sentences it's right. And what do we call that? White privilege.
