Comment on If you had up to US$250 to get one person into a hobby you're interested in, what would you do to get them started? in ~hobbies

I figure starting with your guide is a good way to get into this, but I've always been curious if things like the OP1/M8 can actually just output directly to headphones/whatever, or if you still need other devices for them to function?

We'd have been better off seriously trying to expand our orbital infrastructure.

I very much doubt this is a window for anything the west would see as reform.

It is so on its face fucking stupid, and it bothers me that people have the gall to compare it to Apollo as if somehow being able to do one means they’ll be sure to solve all the problems on this one.
So much of this is blessed but the fundamental logic, approach, and handling of the entire enterprise is different. It’s sad to say that I hope it only wastes trillions and doesn’t actually kill some poor batards a half assed “see we did it” attempt

Comment on The Slack controversy has opened a whole new can of worms in ~tech
Eji1700 Link ParentSo as many have mentioned they are going to be fighting the entire EU on this, and I think you’re overestimating how much an entity like Amazon can do in these casesyou can bully your users with bad data protection when it’s random joes, not when it’s Corporate Amazon.

It’ll probably come after someone clever figures out how to get a model to vomit out sensitive information from the training set (as has already happened but I bet we’re just seeing the tip of this iceberg)

There’s a million tropes you can explore and subvert or just stick with. I liked House, I think The Wire is amazing, and agree that bojack is also great.
I don’t see much of a reason to complain about this when there will always be weak/cheap procedural style shows cashing in on what people enjoy

It's a fast way to build an echo chamber if that's what you're shooting for. People don't always agree on what is out of line. If you just want a bunch of people who all agree A is the only option, sure.
Personally, the absolute worst communities i've been a part of have had this rule. It's all benevolent tyrant, but boy does this mindset seem to attract the angry. And this was with someone who was, in their eyes, trying.

I did substitute teaching and data entry mostly. Subbing requires a little hoop jumping (and can be rough for all sorts of reasons, but it pays the bills), while there's almost always some temp to possibly perm job for data entry where they need somebody who can bash through a pile of stuff accurately.
