commercial beef cows eat grain not grass...

its in the paper....and some of us on this site grew up working for commercial beef ranchers.....for instance me!

Mexico has a weak Federal gov but more strong local states....

I did not use to be this way, before the revolution it was the opposite.

History wise, started changing in the 1930s as far as illegal drug trafficking groups wrestling local gov, state gov, and fed gov away from law and order missions.

how to tell its not AI or AGI..it throws a Molotov cocktail...
sight correction....caffeine impacts two neuron groups not just one!

Dopamine and Noradrenaline

For dopamine its the competitive for the adenosine part of the dopamine heretodimer....meaning it prevents adenosine from binding and closing the dopamine receptor....

I use the effect on both dopamine and noradrenaline to assist in controlling my ADHD via more herb based means....

But author is yes correct that the metabolism of caffeine in how it breaks down does make the half life of its effects longer than 5 hours...I combine my dose with green tea ECGC which gives me a good focus boost of 12-16 hours...

I do not see how being on a platform literally chasing away people with hate, sexism and outright CSAM is somehow making a wrong decision about audiences to attract...can you drop your political bias red colored shades and address this?
Re:Is Germany's gold safe in New York ? on Monday April 06, 2026 @07:45AM (#47659664)
its the wrong question!

The question should why has not Germany pulled gold out to server two goals:

1. Financial gain 2. another step towards economic independence from USA

France already did the right thing....

Pay attention, as it does not hurt the world and economic system for multiple world reserve currencies to exist....EU might as be a reserve currency.

I know how we can fix this....

Its of course devious, exactly some of our styles :)

Give AI to VCs to use for all their domain stuff....

They than make wrong investment decisions based on AI wrong info and get killed in the market....

Market ends up killing AI outright....problem solved temporarily

so I have to buy a Yubikey hardware thingie to keep my Google account just to use eIDAS??

For those that do not know, that is the only way to get the Google account back is to use a hardware 2FA in the first place....

AND yubikeys are $60 per yubikey...and generally you want 2 including a backup

I have to speak up....

Maybe if he had one freaking friend he would realize how effing stupid he has become...

BTW, the easiest way to get fired right now...is to over-use AI in an attempt to fool a domain expert.....or in short do not use it to perform in senior position interviews!

Yes, there is even a compliance post(podcast) about Delve talking about that context aspect of it...

Re:Ask HN: How do you handle clients who don't pay on time? on Saturday April 04, 2026 @09:59AM (#47639141)
Incentive it!

Firms paying on time get discounts and other perks...make it a top headline or blurb in all your marketing...

hmm, how is this not like when Sam Altman was kicked out?

Post now seems deleted.....

Well, can see why...if its fraud you only post it when results of investigation by 3rd party is in due to defame concerns...

Re:Oracle slashes 30k jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @12:17PM (#47589662)
Context of scale....

They took on 58billion in debt which halved their stock price...

Expected savings is only 8Billion

What you are seeing is Oracle in death pains.....

If you or the org you are working for uses Oracle products fast find a way to migrate away from Oracle as it will cease to exist in 2027 at this rate.

Sounds like age verification exp in EU....

Maybe not expose potential internet users to such as high obstacle if your goal is to get their eyeballs to buy your advertised product???

If this was truthful about security...

Google could make a mobile website to take an app apk and verify it if its secure and offer to install it back to android users ...

My bias, former Android app developer.

This is using the increase in attacks to do a business monopoly goal instead...

Re:How to defer US taxes on Thursday March 19, 2026 @03:19PM (#47444486)
Funny thing, states like CA, TX, TN going after folks who thought it good idea to register vehicles in MN and not pay their own local state sales taxes...

Please consult a real tax lawyer before even following such advice...

Why? They have skin in the game such losing their license if they do something wrong and illegal...

its as funny as the IA research reports from DORA dev which all seem to be sponsored AI provider ads instead....
Input: Trump farted today output:

Today, Trump demonstrated a sudden, high-impact release of internal pressure. It’s a powerful reminder that even at the highest levels of leadership, disruptive output is sometimes necessary to clear the air and reset the environment. #Leadership #Disruption #Authenticity #ExecutivePresence

If we want really a set up where a child does not access it...

Psychology has a higher success rate...just tell them that their parents use it....

There are many systems where accuracy is loose and that is its core feature...for example postal addresses worldwide...I can a mistake in the address but the letter or package will still get there...

Curious question, how many Amazon Engineers flunk basic CS?

If you know CS you know two things:

1. AI can not judge code either noise or signal, AI cannot tell. 2. CS-wise we use statistic analysis to judge good code from bad.

How much time does it take to take AI output and run the basic statistic tools for most computer languages?

Some juniors need firing outright
