How about that?

Moreover, in a joint statement announcing South Korea’s plan to host the third Summit for Democracy, the United States and Korea promoted “ensuring new and emerging technologies work for, and not against, democratic societies” as a priority.

Does that mean everything has to have a backdoor for the CIA?

he wanted to separate his professional life from the kink-related work he does

Don’t mix your pen testing with your pen testing if you know what I mean.

it will get rid of a bunch of jobs

So does public transportation. You gonna get rid of school busses so more kids will have to take taxis to school or something? Get rid of subways so companies can sell more cars?

30mag ,

Why replace a horse with a car? It’s probably just a fad.

College students are still struggling with basic math. Professors blame the pandemic (apnews.com)

Colleges across the country are grappling with the same problem as academic setbacks from the pandemic follow students to campus. At many universities, engineering and biology majors are struggling to grasp fractions and exponents. More students are being placed into pre-college math, starting a semester or more behind for their...

At many universities, engineering and biology majors are struggling to grasp fractions and exponents.

Don’t they teach fractions in junior high or elementary school? Kids that age during the pandemic aren’t in college yet.

They need money.

Microsoft announced today that it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it’s no longer under active development

I wonder what changes they’ve made to wordpad over the last 10 years… how many people have been working on it and stuff.

This sort of implies that Notepad is still under active development. That’s weird to think about.

30mag ,

I’m a little surprised they didn’t kill it sooner.

30mag ,

I got a copy of WordPerfect around here somewhere.

30mag ,

is the purpose just to shout your opinions into the void?

I don’t know if that is its purpose, but that is how it is used.

30mag ,

Don’t be so cynical! I think we’re really going to see some change in the government now that we got a guy in the white house who has… uhh… held a political office since 1973.

30mag ,

Companies like to pretend employee turnover doesn’t cost money. Training people isn’t free though and replacing a skilled worker with an unskilled worker hurts productivity.

Clearly there are no standards anymore

I’d like to hear how you think they caught this with no standards.

The subtitle of the article is “The site’s crackdown on radicalization seems to have worked. But the world will never know what was happening before that.”

How do you draw a conclusion about trends based on data collected from one period of time?

It’s not about the crime, it’s about control.

I agree that she shouldn’t have been shot.

In what world is it not a better option to just get her FUCKING CAR’S license-plate number,

She was driving a car without license plates, which is unusual.

Young got into a four-door Lexus sedan that did not have a license plate and was illegally parked in a handicapped spot, Belford said.

30mag ,

could he not just have taken the license plate number then sent agents to go knock on her door later?

No. She was driving a car without license plates, which is unusual.

Young got into a four-door Lexus sedan that did not have a license plate and was illegally parked in a handicapped spot, Belford said.

www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/…/70680484007/

However, I do not believe that fact justifies shooting her.

30mag ,

They’re recording with body cameras, so they have her license plate number.

Not that it would justify shooting her, but the car she was driving did not have license plates.

30mag ,

I didn’t know that there was any place in the United States that did not require license plates. There were/are a lot of people asking why the cops didn’t just get the number off her license plates and arrest her later. The simplest answer to that is that the car didn’t have plates on it, but I don’t think that fact played any role in the decisions made by the involved parties. Though, I could be wrong about that.

What I want to do is make a satirical video game about complying perfectly with a police officer’s requests, and show just how hard it is.

Do you really need to?

30mag ,

Well, that is smart.

30mag ,

But I would at least expect a quick pass with some sandpaper to make it feel “premium”.

uh, well, it took 10 years to get these watches shipped, sanding would probably have taken another year at least

How do we know you’re not trolling?

Over the first year of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian division of PepsiCo increased its net profit by 333% compared to 2021, reaching $525 million, and paid over $115 million to the state budget, according to the report.

That is a little suspicious.

The original intent was good.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

This decision leaves a concerning gap: it does not apply to physical books that are not currently available digitally. As Olivia Lanchester, CEO of the Australian Society of Authors, observed to me in an email:

there is a commercial market for digital book licensing, as evidenced by the Untapped Project in Australia. By allowing Internet Archive to retain digitised versions of print books so long as no ebook edition is available, a valid future market for authors is undermined.

Cry me a river, build a bridge, get over it.

For example, authors of out-of-print works may choose to later publish their work in an ebook format and monetise that edition. The deficiency in the court’s ruling is that the Internet Archive can beat them to it – and supply their work for free.

I guess you better get your rear in gear.

'Where ambition goes to die': These tech workers flocked to Austin during the pandemic. Now they're desperate to get out. (www.businessinsider.com)

‘Where ambition goes to die’: These tech workers flocked to Austin during the pandemic. Now they’re desperate to get out.::Drawn by the promise of an emerging tech hub, some tech workers who flocked to Austin found a middling tech scene, subpar culture, and scorching heat.

From the article:

“If I was a 22-year-old founder starting something I’d go to Silicon Valley because it’s going to increase your odds of success,” Gurley said, adding that it is easy for people to get distracted in Austin because they might be having too much fun and not focusing on building their businesses. “I think there’s a question whether you attract the most determined founders.”

No fun allowed.

I’m not from US - why is it forbidden to have a large group of people in the backyard?

It isn’t.

30mag ,

This wouldn’t qualify as a search.

If it did qualify as a search, it probably wouldn’t be considered unreasonable because someone called the police to file a complaint.

30mag ,

I would guess that when people start calling the cops to complain about an assembly, the assembly is no longer considered peaceful.

30mag ,

New York City is not representative of the United States. It’s not even representative of New York state.

30mag ,

If you’re too loud, the cops may issue a citation, and ask you to be quieter. They do not typically dissolve the assembly.

63% of employees are unable to cover a $500 emergency expense, according to a new survey from SecureSave, a provider of a financial technology platform to help employers provide emergency savings benefits.

Well, they wouldn’t have any reason to lie about that, would they?

30mag ,

Yikes. I didn’t know that.

If you’re trying to piss someone off, you would say “Beans belong in chili.”

People who think it’s ok to put beans in chili don’t really care what you put in chili. You’re not going to upset them.

On the other hand, people who believe that beans don’t belong in chili…

30mag ,

Y’all was created to serve a completely artificial problem.

I don’t think it is likely that “y’all” was created by people who knew what grammar is, much less for the purpose of solving a problem with the English language.

30mag ,

Y’all is Southern for Comrade.

Comrade isn’t plural.

30mag ,

Now that I think about it a little, I agree.

Good answer.

I don’t think that is likely to happen.

You didn’t say “try”.

You’re talking about what consequences should happen for an overall system of punishment in a society where you’re detached as a whole.

There is fundamentally no difference between believing the death penalty should not be used by society in general because killing is an immoral act, and believing that the death penalty should not be used in a specific case that impacted you directly because you believe that killing is an immoral act.

Arguing that you should forgive the people who hurt you because it’s the moral thing to do is what abusers do.

You’re the only person that is talking about forgiveness. I did not mention forgiveness. @Nougat did not mention forgiveness. No one said they forgave McConnell. No one said that he should be forgiven.

Nougat said that they believe it is wrong to take pleasure in the suffering of others when that suffering is not a result of their own choices. I’m inclined to agree with them. I don’t believe in karma and I do not believe random misfortune is a substitute for justice. I’m not forgiving McConnell or letting him off the hook for what he has done because his health is failing.

If you wanted to subsidize nuclear energy, yes.

Howrver, taxing renewables would reduce their profitability without requiring resources from somewhere else.
