Depends how good their camera person tracking system is I guess, and whether police have direct access to it. I think propaganda might sometimes exaggerate how well these things work to make people believe the state is more capable than it really is.
Well no, because in aggregate people will fail at protecting themselves, or else it wouldn’t be a broken society. You can’t solve a coordination problem with advice to defect.
The install process requires one of:
These aren’t bad per-se, but my experience has led me to associate these with spending a bunch of time trying to resolve errors and having to give up in the end and not install the software after all, so if there’s any alternatives that I could use I am trying those first.
Hopefully the person doing that is beyond the reach of US law and/or has very good opsec
To me the ideal magic system has some direct way of interacting with the narrative and themes; it’s something that is somehow meaningful (at least to the characters in the setting) beyond just its instrumental uses.
I saw no messages for a long time, then saw a couple when I moved the radio to the other side of the room, and a lot more when I brought it with me to a more populated city.
The world is secretly run by evil shapeshifting aliens
It could happen, but there are several large existential threats Bitcoin has to overcome to avoid collapsing and being supplanted by something else and survive into the long term, especially quantum computing attacks and the structurally diminishing funding for Bitcoin miners. The people who maintain its code are very reluctant to make any upgrades.
Wow, that was a great talk. I liked the bit about the importance of joy to making effective software/platforms.
Then aren’t they going to block apps on it?
I don’t understand why but a certain type of movie trailer or similar with dramatic music makes me cry a little, even if I think it’s a stupid movie trailer.
What service is that?

Why do people name companies like this? Yet another stupid name that is going to make internet searches and conversations more frustrating.
But most people don’t buy two, and good luck having your reviews be taken more seriously than the botted ones
Many, many people will tell you that the key to reducing bean gas is to eat more beans. Eating more beans, they argue, works because it allows our digestive systems, and the microbiome in them, to acclimate to the beans. Over time, they say, the gassiness will go down. This makes no sense to me. If these oligosaccharides are food for bacteria in our gut, common sense would say that feeding that bacteria more food would, if anything, do the opposite by supporting their population growth while giving them plenty of raw material to digest. It wasn’t within the scope of this project to test (and, I suspect, disprove) this theory, but count me as highly doubtful. If anything, I have to imagine that eating more beans more often just makes people more used to being gassy, and that, in turn, makes them notice it less. (Their significant others might have a very different take…)
All these people are right though and this guy is wrong. I don’t know what the mechanism is but it’s clearly there whatever it is. If someone who doesn’t eat beans much can notice having bad farts after eating beans, someone who does eat lots of beans would be able to notice if their farts suddenly get less bad after taking a break from beans. Or be aware of the other foods that actually do give them gas, and the stark difference between that and the norm. “They’re just pretending not to fart all the time” is not a realistic explanation.
It’s still really high though at #65/205, and about three times as high as any countries with similar economic development.
The real reason it’s not the best argument is the exaggerated relative scale of those issues and plausible fixes. Water use in particular is orders of magnitude lower than other industry, only a serious issue if building it in a really bad location. The electricity use is enough to raise prices for people nearby which could be a good reason to oppose local government allowing them to be built, but they can get around that by expanding grid capacity themselves to make up for it, and even better if they did it with renewables.
It’s a good argument for holding datacenter builders accountable for doing it responsibly, but a flawed one for unconditionally opposing AI.
I wouldn’t trust this, hopefully the car still drives when you cut the wires to whatever it’s using as an antenna.
