Humans are vulnerable to prompt injection as well. We usually call it something like "social engineering."

Stock market returns will tend to exceed inflation. Salary may not. It's quite possible for inflation to make your salary shrink in real terms, making it no longer worth working if you can afford to retire.

The EU really wants all members to be in Schengen. The UK was allowed to opt out because its membership was so desirable. After the Brexit fiasco it's unlikely that the EU would want them back in so badly that they'd accept anothe

How is this an example of trying to impose rules globally? Google is operating in Germany. Their German operations have to follow German laws. That's how every country operates.

This is even worse, since the defamation in question is against a third party. This would be more like: by reading this comment, you transfer all of Bob's property to me.

Trumpers refuse to believe that the issue is not the deportations themselves, but the abuses and murders that accompany them.

What's the connection between Schengen and Brexit?

As far as their desirability as neighbors, I have no idea how it correlates to church membership. I mostly don’t know what churches, if any, my neighbors go to. The old Trump-loving Catholics who used to live next door were fine neighbors.

And nobody does that on Vision Pro despite it including the same browsing capabilities, apparently.

It's not perfect, but there are plenty of things I do where I'm not typing very much, but I am swapping back and forth between apps or web pages quite a bit.

Multitasking would be huge. One reason I hate doing anything "real" on my phone is because I can't see more than one thing at a time.

I wonder why this got downvoted. Are we not supposed to mention the war? Does it make people uncomfortable to be reminded of how their rhetoric mirrors that of fascists?

My point is not actually "potentially a little more of something there's already lots of," but rather that the shittiness of people is not well correlated with what country they're from. I'm sure Switzerland has ple

Kind of a funny example, since Japan got crushed by the poster boy country for diversity, and this nonsense about homogeneity played no small part in their arrogance in thinking they could win.

by wat10000 5mo ago
I’m pretty sure people say China is homogeneous because 90+% of the population is a single ethnicity, and approximately 100% is “Asian” for some meaning of that word. What you’re describing is national unity or identity or something like th

I’ve had that experience as well, except instead of Afghanistan it was America, and instead of Sharia law it was Biblical law. I am far more afraid of certain of my native-born countrymen than I am of people who come here.

If it’s nothing to do with race, then why is a country with four official languages being called “homogeneous”?

by wat10000 5mo ago
Many people are awful. I’d be fine with Afghan refugees moving in. Even if we accept the premise that Afghan culture is “awful,” wouldn’t the fact that they’ve fled the country indicate they’re not exactly in sync with that culture? I liv

I get hard working and low crime, but why does homogeneity make a country rich?

“Innocent until proven guilty” is for the courts. It doesn’t apply elsewhere. If somebody comes up to you on the street and claims to be the wallet inspector, should I cry “guilty until proven innocent!” when you refuse to hand yours over?

High margin products are often the last to be impacted at retail because the seller has some cushion. And the impacts are only just getting started. We see the MacBook Neo with a somewhat sad 8GB RAM, most likely due to this. We'll see

The massive spike in the price of RAM is making consumer electronics more expensive and worse.

Iridium cost $3/minute for voice or 2400bps data. Starlink prices and speeds are comparable to terrestrial broadband.

I didn’t say that was my definition, I said that was the actual important question here.
657.
by wat10000 5mo ago
By what definition? Anyway, seems like an argument over said definitions rather than the underlying characteristics. The relevant question is whether they're purely physical objects behaving according to rules, which is being described

Excellent idea. You don't even have to worry about hitting people's houses and such, since they'll be destroyed by the tornado anyway.

Tornadoes are not actually very common in terms of how often you'd expect a structure to be hit by one. You're looking at hundreds or thousands of years between tornado hits even in the most tornado-prone areas. They're numer
