Which is stupid though because obviously it's just going to be someone that looks like the person they are after. The idea with a lineup is that you have some other sort of evidence, not based on how people look, and then have them ide

40 miles to a grocery store is not living in a "small town" that's living in a rural area or the country side.

Yeah, I mean, I've heard it called a lot of things, catering to the masses, least common denominator etc. It's really only a problem when it starts to consume so many resources in a given ecosphere that it pushes out everything el

There's absolutely places like that in the US. I have multiple of those establishments, non-chain, minutes away. No newspaper store IDK about that, there's also McDonalds, CVS, Subway, but the independent restaurants and business

Oh absolutely. It's also a specific segments of America. I hope Europe and elsewhere can resist but it really requires regulation because people in general are too easy to steer via advertising and convenience value propositions. Defin

This has been happening in the real world for far longer. It's basically the experience of many modern cities, or even worse suburbs. Starbucks / Chipotle / Orange Theory / Target / Generic Brewery / Lime Scoot

This is essentially "The Fair Tax" proposed many years ago, it's a VAT, but with a pre-bate check that covers the VAT up to a certain percent of income. So if there's a $100K no VAT minimum. The pre-bate is $25k. Anyone

Sort of but that's actually ideal, I don't think it will be completely scrapped if implemented, some parts will remain. Those being the ones that make the most sense to the most people.

Everyone keeps saying VAT is regressive, that seems to miss the point that the author explicitly pairs it with UBI. It's also dubious that a VAT is intrinsically regressive, a VAT is essentially a tax on business revenue. Most items f

This issue was fixed two months ago. It does indicate you are basically out of storage and may have more problems though. But just updating should resolve the critical files in cache issue.

It's not purely the liquidation value, it's the idea that the liquidation value will continue to increase, or profits will be paid out to owners.

I get it, but no, that's not leading to regional instability that actual hostile nations and leadership have been responsible for creating in the region.

Ok, I'm not even sure what to reply here, that makes no sense and doesn't accomplish any of the things I mentioned. It's also not even particularly feasible and just not at all how any sort of wartime operation is likely to w

Look, all I know is DOGE made huge cuts to the NOAA and the National Hurricane Center. And well the 2025 hurricane season speaks for itself.

I'm sorry, but this is like the most ignorant take ever. The world is essentially one life supported regime away from having a level of stability in the middle east that has quite literally never been achieved. Iran and their regional

This maybe a bit of sarcasm, but it's actually accurate. The information was so contrived that multiple firms sent physical analysis to observe the strait in person. They all have said that the strait remains active with decreased but

That isn't really accurate, small drones are enough to antagonize regional neighbors. They are far from being able to project influence, stabilize international trade, or even remotely protect a territory from an enemy that isn't

Is it likely that SpaceX will have actual reasonable demand? Their major customer is Starlink. How legitimately confident are we in the numbers with regard to price reduction vs creative accounting to offload costs to Starlink and subsidize

It's more that they know they can eventually clone any successes the other companies have and steal their market share. Their really is no moat. In a more normal environment they would be buyout candidates but that's a bit too far

That's probably correct,because I really don't see it, it's not like Canada can just move to Europe or something. They don't really have much of an option and neither does Europe for that matter. Is Canada going to let C

>As a Canadian, I can’t name a single family member, friend, peer or acquaintance who regards the U.S. as an ally. Is being melodramatic the new alternative to the famous Canadian politeness?

I think, from your framing of the questions you are leaning towards opposition of the current administration and "ruling party". Which is obviously fine. But what I am questioning is if, and if so, why, you think that a reboot wou

Yes, they are mostly attracted to CO2 I think. So some traps that burn propane to attract them. Others I've seen are basically a screen over a fan with a block of dry ice. They use those to collect for like an hour then weigh the mosqu

It's a function of the LLM "thought process"! It's not really modeled after human speech. It is in short segments but not long form, same reason you see the same rather odd nuances in LLM generated code. If they way you

I believe, but could be wrong, is that the big change is the time frame for index and managed funds buy in. It used to be a year, but it's much shorter now, like 2 weeks. Which means as long as they can maintain a high market cap relat

No, if they ask just give them the handle of any accounts that are currently on your phone. Just remove anything from your phone or computer if you think it might be an issue, like if you are sharing ISIS videos and stuff. As a citizen you
