Because it’s not just about their race. It’s about all future races. It’s about convincing people that the election process can’t be trusted.

The sad thing is…that it’s working.

I’m mid 40s and have a stable job. Hair is full but a bit heavier since my 20s.

What I’ve learned is that most women that I end up dating are usually looking for consistency and not being an asshole. Having a decent personality helps as well.

I’m in competition with a lot of conservative men. If I can’t win against them, I should look inward.

I’ve been poly for almost 5-6 years now and I do better than most, but nowhere near as well as women.

I have some women friends who see several men a night.

I just can’t wait for microwave to have an integration with AI. I just need another internet connected device that can recommend a nice laxative after scanning what it just cooked. Not only that but it could integrate with my smart fridge and make sure that it orders food that is just about to expire from Instacart. And with its partnership with Doordash, the microwave could just stop working and order a replacement meal for me.

…said no one ever.

The machines did nothing wrong.

I sort of get NIST doing something like this. I think even NASA rounds pi to 8 digits since that gets them within a diameter of a hydrogen atom.

The purpose of NIST is not necessarily accuracy but consistency.

I honestly don’t even understand why he has a memorial. He was just some guy. I said the same thing when Trump ordered flags at half staff for him.

Let’s put aside his politics for a moment.

Kirk wasn’t elected. He didn’t hold any political office. Literally just a random person who was killed.

What he was known for was spewing hate, and then his own blood.

The best use of AI I’ve seen thus far is reading legislative bills. Those monstrosities are so fucking long and filled with earmarks that it’s next to impossible to understand what is in them.

Having an AI not only read the bill but keep a watch of it as it goes through Congress is probably the best use of AI because it actually helps citizens.

I am on record saying we need an AI that can track prices of various things that can then predict when the best time it is to buy something.

I want an AI bot that saves me money or gets me a good deal or extracts money from the capital class.

They were only decent because the bar was on the floor. As soon as Google Fiber entered a city, entrenched ISPs slashed their prices, improved customer service, and made things better for everyone.

There was a post on Reddit back in the day of a guy who quit his day job to bring fiber to people at roughly half the price of the local ISP and still made enough money to live comfortably.

From what I remember, it’s actually fairly straightforward to start an ISP but just takes someone with the time to do it. Between the grants and small business loans, you effectively can get started with very little risk. It’s just that very few people actually do it.

I sort of get it. If AI was 100% accurate like Google search used to be, then yeah AI might be a net benefit.

But right now, they fucking tell us ”Hey this feature that gobbles up gigawatts of electricity and gallons of water might be wrong so double check it by going to the sources I’ve left here."

What value is that providing exactly?

Jfc…

These laws are not written by the technically literate. They are written by attorneys based on the whims of old legislators who think that Siri is a real woman that they are talking to.

While the people who write the laws are competent, the legislators are not.

At the state level, it’s even worse because they are often given legislation carefully written by lobbyists and special interest groups.

If you have any inkling to run for office, please consider doing so because we need smarter people in every branch of government.

The West Wing

Yes. Conservatives, specifically the alt-right, need ways to identify each other in public so that they can “feel included”.

And the reason they feel safe is that liberals and progressives are largely non-violent.

I know nothing about mobile OS development. How realistic is it at this point for someone to fork Android?

I know that software like Edge and Iron Fox can be forked and worked on by independent people. But Android is developed to integrate tightly with proprietary hardware.

I remember reading a study about speeding in neighborhoods. It’s not unusual to have people driving 50+ in a 25 MPH neighborhood.

Speed bumps actually caused people to drive faster between the bumps.

What worked was more curves and narrow roads. Essentially making it more dangerous.

So you’re not wrong.

You can thank the blue wave. Virginia has a super majority in the House of Delegates and a majority in the Senate.

They still are.

Oh I definitely have. I usually follow up with “Would you vote for him again?”

100% of the time they say yes.

These people are a cult
