Afterwards you’ll regret it, but you won’t mind it.

Eggs?

Probably water can be used in the same way, if the collector was larger.

Which tied into how they could make the keyboard cheaper, remember the rubber keys? :-)

There is also the angle, rare as in practically relevant to us. Too low percentage, a human will never come into contact with a not even single photon originating in these worlds.

It can be viewed as a kind of affirmative action. It’s a contested area but I don’t see Uber convicted over it but even if they were, I wouldn’t call it straightforward, but rather unclear.

I have one of the early GSM phones with IMEI 0 or no IMEI, I forget how it works.

That could go into illegal territory real quick though.

I don't think their move here is illegal. I think it's ill-advised, bad PR, will backfire and probably predatory on the group they are ostensibly trying to help. (Maybe even without them even understanding why.) That all said, I w

Yep. Was hoping for someone to debunk or explain. My (probably deeply flawed) hunch was that one would need some kind of specialised virtual machine or something to make homomorphic stuff. I'm babbling now. Yes, someone please explain

It could be any number of things - for one there may not be much advertisment spend in your region compared to the US.

This situation happened because FB is complicit , not because they didn't do anything. They optimize for ad revenue, not for decency or the human angle. FB is basically the Matrix and we are the ad revenue batteries powering it.

What about revenue impact Write that in cursive on the black board 100 times before you are allowed back in your cubicle, employee #140932.

This is not really the largest problem with FB at all. It's that they finely tune us in Skinner boxes to react to shitposts. If the algorithm crosses the line and you back off, it tries something else. It just so happens that what we h

It's not even 100% clear that all of them are police forces. I could be out there larp-ing and blend right in.

Man, tell us how you really feel. :-) That was beautiful.

Like in the 90s when people scavenged Apple ROMs. Buy old Macs, then don't use them.

That may not in itself be a bad thing. The scary thing about UBI is that we'd create an unhealthy dependence on the state. I could see it derailing. For all the talk about the US as the modern Roman empire, isn't that exactly what

Ah, thanks I had a good laugh! An honest loud laugh. Agree 100% though.

So, your interests align currently at this brief moment of history. What's to say this power dynamic will endure? They use their power like this because they are afraid of the pitchforks currently. What happens when they no longer fear

It was a cheap thing to do out of caution. But I guess, it's not in the culture to "over"-react. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it comes back to bite you.

And the politicians should have put in that severe, very expensive effort. But that would have required them to be fast, which is not a very Swedish thing. Everything is extremely decentralised and in many cases privatized. Either the state

The actual execution of how elderly care is run, is very sloppy too. Lots of people come and go and didn't even use any PPE because there wasn't any. Also not washing hands, and using PPE incorrectly, and so on.

Sweden botched the initial response. People coming from Italy (for instance) were not asked to quarantine or even informed that it might be a good idea to self quarantine for two weeks. Nothing. This initial non-response might alone exp

I can only imagine it’s some kind of reference to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateral_Commission and their disdain for excess of democracy.

No, they have gerrymandering too. But more proportional, yes.
