It's a well-documented phenomenon. You can Google it. The thing drains your battery precipitously .

I ended up pulling the DCM fuse, but it comes at the cost of no microphone for phone calls and voice commands and no front speakers (and obviously no STARLINK).

Anecdata: I grew up in southeastern Iowa and have seen more tornadoes than I can remember. Every single summer you'd go to the basement at least three or four times due to tornado warnings. The Iowa State mascot is a "cyclone.&quo

It's presumptuous to assume your cultural norms apply to everyone across the entire world. I think it's completely reasonable to assume Greenland has relatively separate history from wherever you got the "white and blue"

>$10k is nothing if you making half a million dollars a year and have $200k in credit with no balance, because your disposable income is probably $400-450k/yr. You must mean half a million after taxes .

The parties more directly at risk (Europe) should bear the brunt of the aid, no?

My bubble is much different. It seems like every other week there's another multi-billion dollar aid package sent to Ukraine and everyone hates it.

> maybe we could instead just announce another serious arms package for Ukraine instead?! I've never met a real human with this take. And I have friends on both sides of the aisle, sat staunchly in their respective parties.

I agree?

I clearly remember getting in trouble in class each year for using Wikipedia. My podunk teachers couldn't fathom the difference between directly citing Wikipedia (just cite the source it references instead) and merely reading it. Pain.

> Someone taking the time to use it well will use it well, someone lazy will still be lazy. Exactly. It's a self-solving problem as long as draconian luddites don't outright ban LLMs.

And there's evidence that Trump directly orchestrated this alleged plan?

by siftrics 3y ago
Can you explain the Trump bit more? He was essentially democratically elected, served 4 years, and is now running in democratic elections again.

Can you explain more? I don't get how transacting affects third parties.

Is he a salesman? Sure. Did OpenAI build something that has truly immense real value? Absolutely.

Sorry, I should've added more context. The standard decentralized setup is this: 1. Developers write a smart contract that does something. For example, a token exchange to trade tokens, or a derivatives exchange to trade exposure to to

In my very first reply to you, I wrote the answer: "smart contracts can be made immutable."

To be fair to the parent commenter, they specifically said "the West", which is exactly the opposite of Russia. That said, I do think freedom to transact is an essential human right yet to be enshrined.

Of course USDC is upgradeable; it's run by an entity that is attempting to comply with the laws and regulations of many different jurisdictions. No power-hungry regulator would allow them to deploy USDC without the capability to arbitr

The purpose of Hacker News is insightful discussion; it is not a place to pipe your stream of consciousness into the comment box. Refrain from speculating about things to which we know the answer . Just look it up and post the answer, inst

Why? Why do you speculate? The answer is easily accessible information. Smart contracts can be made immutable.

"using embryo selection" makes your point with far fewer words. I don't see how else the word "selection" could be interpreted in this context.

I've met thousands and I don't know a single Irish American that has expressed a serious desire to move back. Don't get me wrong; I'm an Irish American and I'd love to live in Ireland. But I was born and raised in t
