It’s a bit flexible nowadays because a lot of cars will let you leave the a/c on while you walk away with the keys.
Funny fact: google’s newest feature is also its best, but it’s kinda hidden and might not be available everywhere - it’s “web search”, which cuts out all the awful bullshit
False Consciousness. Some people clearly see the problems with capitalism and blame the Jews, some immigrants (and many both), and some people really believe the things they were taught in econ 101 and wind up blaming the problems of capitalism on not enough capitalism.
I think libertarianism as we see it in the US is a uniquely American phenomenon (which occasionally gets exported abroad like in Argentina) that’s born out of our quasi-religious worship of the constitution and the founding fathers. Every US child is taught in school that the founders were all once in a generation geniuses and that the constitution is a masterwork of politics and not a badly outdated document that is only ever invoked by the ruling class to consolidate their own power. The founders believed that capitalist markets were a force for liberation, so we get taught that in high school - although ironically the modern version of that idea of a completely unfettered market is not at all what the American founders had in mind, it’s the extreme that you get to by following their logic.
Can I get some enterprising North Koreans to steal my identity so that I can put their work experience on my CV?
I lived in Japan when streaming was becoming a thing. Everything was region blocked, and DVDs were (and still are) horrendously overpriced for what you get.
I’m sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t ever just use VLC.
uhhhh today I had an adobada burrito and fries uhhhhh idk if I’m gonna eat anything else
We’re leftists and our site culture is pretty aggressive. Liberals are predisposed not to like us because of the first one, and we’re especially prone to arguing with them in the comments of their instances because of the second. This means we’re more well known and more disliked than we would be if we stayed in our corner.
It looks like this democracy…
…has been managed.
Hopefully they restore the game in all regions where it was disabled. It went from being region free to blocked in 172 countries.
wow. Imagine burning out your expensive GPU for a fortnite skin.
This is true of current gen air combat, but I’m speculating about a future where dogfighting once again becomes the only way to achieve air superiority.
Oh I never said it would be humans piloting the sixth gen dogfighters. They’re gonna be drones designed to withstand sustained 20G turns to be able to get their guns on target, commanded from something like an AWACS.
Stealth becomes obsolete
Missile defenses get better
BVR combat becomes basically impossible
Everybody always knows where everybody else is
Sixth generation fighters Retvrn to being purpose-built dogfighters/interceptors
Left that unchecked, I’ve got 16gb ram so I don’t think that was the issue
You know how we all found out that Boeing had dry rotted from the inside because the 737 Max started falling apart? Whose to say that Lockheed hasn’t gone through exactly the same shit, but we just barely get glimpses of it through the smoke of classified documents.
This is true of the consumer market, but the OP asked about governments, and 90% of government computers in China run Kylin or NeoKylin, with plans to consolidate the two into a single os. This follows the overall trend of China’s tech sector seeking to replace imports (and copied versions of foreign tech) with fully domestic alternatives.
From the very beginning of this LLM craze, they’ve been talking about replacing teachers with it. I suspect they’re going to ham slice their way into education one precedent at a time until every child gets their entire education through an iPad that talks at them with the Microsoft Sam voice (unless you’re rich, elite private schools won’t go anywhere near this stuff).
The thing is that Rowling hadn’t really thought it through yet. Having the hero save a slave is pretty clearly heroic and good, and it’s a nice way to wrap up the Dobby story arc, but then the fans were all like “wait WHAT!? there’s slaves under Hogwarts!?” and she was forced to think it through, and it turns out JK’s pretty awful so the result of her thinking it through was to make it worse.
