Always thought a 'foreign legion' type setup would benefit here. If people are passionate about certain regions of the world, or courses, they should be able to opt into it. Would create competition across national armed forces, t

I've bounced between viewpoints so many times in life regarding legalisation of drugs. It's a fascinating argument. Something which has always grounded my beliefs is the comparison to alcohol. Imagine we walked into bars and were

This tread's been incredibly insightful. I'm speechless as to the dystopian things which are happening throughout the world, which seemingly receive no friction whatsoever :/

It's genuinely a very nice place to live. Spent a year out there, and have no complaints. Felt my QoL was amazing. I was outside all the time, doing shit, and being incredibly social and involved. Was trying hard to think of a complain

There's a certain irony in that moving forward we're going to have to be 'imperfect' to appear as not being AI. Spelling mistkaes, shit grammar, typos, et,c, just leeet em rock.

Remember hearing about Albania during the Cold War. They turned away from the Soviets because the Soviets only wanted them to be an agricultural nation, and wouldn't allow them to develop their own industry. When the powers that be ref

The private equity virus has a biological imperative to spread. All those people who paid half a mil on education must appear useful at the expense of us all!

VAT is a joke of a tax. It's quite incredible why the government concerns itself with chasing people's accounts around. What a waste. If something can't be monitored with minimal effort, it only serves to enrich the legal&#x2

Just to let you know: Colony: "a geographical area politically controlled by a distant country" If it's verboten, then I'm guessing: All Arabs back to the Arabian peninsula? "Latin Americans" back to Europe? Th

What definition of empire are you running here? Is it the same definition you'd assign to Russia, India, China, Ethiopia, Iran, Myanmar? Are the Andaman Islands, Kaliningrad, Midway, Ogaden, Balochistan, Xinjiang all loot under the aus

You're suggesting that we should run a h3 grid over the world and assign everybody territory based on their haploytype? Or is it only the 'English' who should be confined to certain geogrpahical parameters? I'm English a

Haha, what a small world. He stayed with me in Spain, back in the good old days of Couchsurfing. Not sure if I feel honoured or guilty by being able to set his plans back a day or 2 by introducing him to the local nightlife...

The internal operations of a company shoud be irrelevant to nations. If a company is taking £billion out of a nation's spending power, and doing so with nefarious practices, that's what should be fined. If bankruptcy is a worry, t

A bit of a mix between Pokemon Go, Tripadvisor/Wikivoyage and Duolingo. Basiclaly an app where you can travel a city on a hex grid (h3) and learn about it/receive recommendations on things to do. Different activities and landmarks

I'm pretty glad that when we've chopped down all our forests, we'll have mechanical leaves as a backup plan. Having the means to generate enough electricity to take oxygen out of the atmosphere could be useful.

Not sure that it's a fair test, tbh. I try to buy 'locally made' products because I respect the story of their company, and their efforts to build up some type of community. If I had a choice between 'made here' or

Motorola is one of the better phone manufacturers, though. Hardly any bloat, usually able to root easily, decent support from other operating systems, reasonably priced, and with decent battery life. I still struggle to see what phones at 1

I guess they could effectively copy Kagi's model at mammoth scale - offering a premium internet browsing experience with a 'personalised assistant'. Easy to convince at least 10% of the users to sign in to their browser with

They've consumed yesterday's web. Why not get the user to pay the energy and processing bill for subsequent rounds? Being able to track the habits of 3.5 billion users at source is probably quite useful, too.

Surely they'd be wanting to buy 3.5billion users, though? I actually wonder what the price tag is for that, lol.

Left high school in the UK thinking that anything connected with family and having children was some type of carnal sin. Seemed the idea of anything traditional was an aboslute taboo to most of the staff. When I compare schooling experience

Personally, I think it's a bit scummy to expect customers to trawl through T&Cs, when the company gets to sit back and chill, while profiting from using 'unlimited' front and centre. There's a subtle difference betwe

I'm really surprised that more people didn't jump on the unlimited usage of Claude3.7, tbh. Don't think it's fair to call users problematic when they were using the product as advertised. "Unlimited" has a mean

It'd be nice if you could see how much each request actually cost in relation to your plan, and to have some type of easily accessible meter. A lot of AI providers operate in black box territory when it comes to limits, which is quite
