This is BS. American tourists are reviled because they are loud and pushy. And neurotic. lol, only joking.

Sure, conservation of energy, but are the colories actually going in, and how, and how many coming out? Some people can eat and eat and stay slim, even without much exercise.

"When did raspberry pis get so expensive?" from one of his videos. I'm guessing around the time they were bought/went public and became for-profit.

But this is the stretch being made - 'how to build a friend compound' not just 'how to live close to friends'.

I'm not really assuming anything, but simply taking the 'friends' part at face value. Perhaps I should be assuming more.

The point is that all kinds of people have the option to live in the same area. Sure, people gravitate to some extent to their own 'class' of people, but making that an actual goal, and exclusive, seems wrong.

It's talking about building a 'friend compound', so of course there will be an in and an out group. It's one thing to agree with a bunch of friends to live close-by in a particular city, but something quite different to

How can it not be, where you want to build an enclave of 'like' people (alike in friend connections, education, outlook, not only race, which is what you seem to assume). It's a stage of life where you should be branching out

woah this seems like tribalism run riot. How about just living, and learning to deal with, the rest of society.

Bah, thought this was related to the classic UK TV series Space:1999.

"allows customers to focus on innovation – free from the burden" Sounds great, but does it actually mean lock-in, in reality?

I suspect the NSA is able to correlate any accounts already if they really want to so this seems like 'conspicuous examination' and a deliberate barrier to visitors. F*ck em. America was built on imported foreign talent, and these

lol, that looks exactly what it is, stuffed into a doll and wrapped in 'pink' marketing and DEI. I don't think it will work at all. It might well sell. Fathers (cue the space references, I guess) and perhaps mothers, might th

Current AI is clearly not going to replace everyone. It will certainly reduce low-level clerical work, so plenty of jobs will, are already, going, but new jobs will of course be created. But what if we get actual AI? All bets are off then.

Are you just starting to learn? If so I think your chances of getting paid work will be slim. I started programming on a zx80 and trs-80 clone at 11 years old, and have devoured new languages, methodologies, tricks and tips, computer scienc

But the original designer/manufacturer could have invested some time in a decent UI. Perhaps we should have govt 'UI standards' in the same way we have other efficiency standards. Or even a voluntary 'UI council quality

As I scrolled, and scrolled, and .... scrolled, I was reminded of aliexpress sales pages, or kickstarter pages, with their endless affirming details, and 'oh and another thing's, so yes I think you're probably right.

Can he understand anything of what he reads? It seems robotic; the point of reading is to get the meaning, not regurgitate the sounds. The best teacher is want.

What about major shareholders? Presumably they were blissfully unaware, and were simply pleased when VW delivered more profits, as demanded.

What's really annoying is when it sets the script to the local language which could be something like telugu, and then the writing is unreadable if you can only read the latin alphabet. And then the 'change language' menu is

So basically the problem is that the parents are stuck to their phones, and are neglecting the kids. same same.

At least they'll get a decent lunch, regardless of their domestic situation.

There's a big difference between 'degree for free' and 'education for free' I think. One is just worthless paper, the other is equal opportunity for everyone to actually attain the standard required for a degree.

Again, just provide the kids themselves with decent (not stratified) meals, rather than tying it to parental responsibility or otherwise. It's like you're trying to make a mean society.

I didn't say free restaurants for everyone, that's a ridiculous extrapolation. But it is the responsibility of a decent modern society to ensure kids get at least a basic level of care and education. Morally, and in fact in the in
