In the long run this is good.
We need to push outside of the google/apple duopoly. A real-free hardware platform running a real-free OS would benefit everyone.
Hot take: 10 years from now its widely considered 14B into bitcoin would've been a much much better investment. Autocorrect+++ still not sentient.
Yes, I noticed that too....I also saw Trump said something to the effect of "I would preferred a friendlier path".
The psychopaths look like they got their beloved war with Iran. Lindsey Graham must be ecstatic right now....
Trump is essentially a third party candidate
Exactly, its the best of both worlds. RINOs are forced to vote for him....
This isn't a natural virus, its a genetically engineered one.
So we (a) create a deadly virus that didn't exist, then (b) claim victory when we develop a vaccine that is ~35% effective against it?
Sounds fairly insane.
If you were walking down the street and I jumped out of an alley with a gun pointed to your head, most sane jurisdictions would allow you to kill me, as its a clear threat / clear intention to kill me.
Why shouldn't we be allowed to take proactive action against these scientist?
Although that sounds great in theory, in practice I don't think it works. Google "spoiler effect".
Essentially you will silo out the anti-behemoth vote into a specific party, the RINOS and progressives will not join, thus you risk winding up with a situation of 40% progressive, 40% RINO, and 20% New Party. You won't win another election and the disaster train will continue forward with no brakes.....
The best thing about our 2 party system is it becomes a binary option and if you can muscle your way into one of them, you can take over.
Yeah, same here.
I got into them via liking The Beatles as a kid....I had read that Pet Sounds was big inspiration to them and was the basis for Sgt Pepper.
Its really interesting to listen to Pet Sounds in terms of context of the time. While not "psychedelic", Pet Sounds has very introspective, melancholic vibe that was much different from Beach Boys surf-pop.
Its easy to see how The Beatles (just having released Rubber Soul) found Pet Sounds so interesting...
For all you "night owls" (which I used to proudly call myself), your schedule changes as you age. For me, I would say 40s was the turning point.
As much as I used to love staying up to 3:30am every night, now I like the reverse: Getting up at 5:45am and having a cup of coffee as the sun rises is great. Its the perfect time to exist in quiet, read a bit, work on that complex bit of code/script that you disregarded yesterday.
And the internet is still vastly more decentralized and censorship-resistant than the pre-internet world.
I think that is ultimately the answer, which is: Yes bitcoin will eventually (unfortunately) undergo massive centralization. As the masses join the system, control will cede into larger and larger silos of centralization.
However, much like the modern internet, it will still be possible to use bitcoin in a pure P2P fashion. At the protocol level, bitcoin will probably remain 'decentralized', its just that for convenience purposes, >95% will choose to use it in a completely custodial fashion.
"Can I see your GitHub?" This tells me what truly matters: your work, your passion, and your potential.
We have hired contractors directly from github. I always tell young IT people that they should absolutely have a github and it should basically be their resume. Checking out someones github is at least a 5x better interview technique than anything else....
This doesn't just go for developers, really anything in IT should can be represented by a github repo.....
Strictly speaking seems like he could invoke insurrection act and arrest these law makers that are clearly acting to prevent foreign nationals from attacking US soil.
No. The brain is a quantum antenna (ie. the Penrose theorem).
Your brain, like all your other organs are passive sensory. Your tongue taste, your eyes receive light, etc. Your brain detects consciousness waves like a radio....
I think a LOCAL LLM that didn't send data off-device but could integrate with all onboard apple services is what people want....there is no need to try to build yet another ChatGPT as there already enough apps for that.
