My fist reaction to this post was "why so little?". I very much expected the number to be higher.

I used to believe it was an ideal way to curb waste from consumerism via reuse. But the high prices force people into a decision that often ends with them just purchasing a new item, the exact discussion happening here.

We know about the yellow tracking dots.

Speaking of which, I feel like ICE's next move is to start arresting people for not turning in their friends, neighbors, and coworkers. We know they're planning for it at least.
The #1 reason sighted by 2nd amendment loyalists for needing such liberal gun rights is to protect us all from government overreach. I assume that's what he means.
And definitely not religious preferences.
I'm sure their dau decline and actually blocking most usage (non-logged in users) has helped a lot.

Considering what you're responding to, it sounds like you're suggesting people over 55 don't deserve to be respected or have a good position in life.

The thing about the facebook is listening to you rumors is that the reality is so much worse than them actually surreptitiously listening to you. Their knowing who you're interacting with and what you're likely to talk about is more alarming. Dismissing facebook listening to your conversations is shortsighted in a way I find fairly repulsive.
The comment seems to imply to me that they are too gullible to understand what the LLM tells them and are being gaslit into believing things that smarter researchers would know without needing an LLM. Honestly, the comment seems dismissive of the current reality in general.

I'm not sure why you are participating in this thread then.
I'm pretty sure their timeline of the breach is also not correct. I think information about my account was exposed over a month ago.
I'm pretty sure their timeline for the intrusion is not quite honest. I started getting strange phone calls about a month or so ago trying to recover an account and the leaked two pieces of information to me in that attempt. These pretty much tie it to opencode.
Very similar here. For internal projects the test is - if it works, unit and integration tests were created, and it follows our architecture correctly.

You point is?

That might be the thing. In real life you don't use the same stationary for years. Your desk is a reflection of your mood and evolves almost daily. Maybe that's where these fail?

There's a surprising lack of web based cat toys. I've vibe coded a good handful but nothing hits 100%.

Are you running club-3090 or something else?
Because I don't know enough about the internal divisions in other countries. But I can tell you Americans will fight progress at every turn.
I think you missed the point. I was pretty clear about not focusing on Civ specifically.
I play games like Civilization and we get these tech trees and policy trees and such. And I can never help but wonder what it would be like to play these when the people of the territory act like Americans. You try to incentivize future technology and they push back. You try and prioritize education and they push back. There is always division and infighting.

Regardless, I don't think it would actually make the game more fun.

Masked men are in the streets shooting people. I'd say the system has failed.

Ohh. You hear yourself through their non-isolating microphones. Argh. That's a brutal one.

It's hard to describe how difficult it is to hear someone talking and then a second later hear then in your headphones. It really breaks my concentration. And it's a solvable technology problem - just use the local network for people in the same subnet. But every meeting provider wants _everything_ routed through their servers. There's no escaping they prying eyes.

Because with google it's an unwinnable arms race.

Maybe they literally just don't care about how much traffic they put on your network. Maybe the thought is "1 tb of traffic internally is very low utilization of the network over the course of a month".
Maybe the interactive link in the article for the optic focus can lead you on a fun journey instead. And the bottom-right of every visualization is a link to yet another fun diorama to explore.
