Just pass a damn privacy law already.

Or watch it on YouTube. Or look at it on Facebook. Or whatever.

Dell Optiplex… You can buy them used all over still. Find one with a decent processor and upgrade everything else. The fans are easy to find and replace. I’ve got a Linux based MCPC that’s about a decade old that’s still going strong. I’ve got one for my kids with Linux on it. I’ve bought several for elderly relatives and upgraded the ram and drive to ssd. They really just seem to go forever.

I’ve had a few spools. I’ve found inland from micro center to be really good filament. I haven’t noticed much difference between the two. Also, there are some top tier filament manufacturers in the US. Pricey stuff but no more than prusa and shipping is free to low.

Over 90% of tax revenue is collected from less than 10% of the population. Tax the rich is a campaign lie. It already happens. About 50% of adults pay net 0% or get out more than they put in.

The middle class is shrinking and the wage gap is getting worse partly because of the progressive tax system. Only the top 0.1% have the ability to not care about taxes. And even if you taxed them at 100%, they have the tools and money to avoid paying taxes on the vast majority of their wealth.

My guess is ads don’t work in cached pages.

I’ve been in the Bezos balls. (Anyone seen the old Woody Allen sex movie?) Neat but no good reason for them to be balls. It’s just a climate controlled botanical garden.

I’ll also note that the place is jam packed with staff that constantly ask you if you have any questions. Well… I asked questions and no one had any clue. Great job.

There’s also a not great coffee bar inside. Underwhelming.

Well all they do is take in bulk shipments of, categorize, store, individually package, ship, and deliver products. I just really don’t see how you could call that “distributing” goods. /s

Wet works. Always in demand.

Leverage.

…

Drugs -> Money

Sex -> Control the Powerful

Plumbers protect the CIA.

10… And that may be too long.

My MCPC is a micro PC that’s at least 10 years old. It plays h.265 at 2k just fine. I’m excited to see things move back to media computers.

Modern phrenology.

I didn’t say anything about porn. But if you think she doesn’t understand and leverage sex appeal… I just don’t know what to tell you.

No matter the law, exactly zero powers will stop using it. Any law will only hamper the regular citizen in their endeavors.

She’s literally said that in interviews. She’s super smart. She knows her persona is a product. That’s not a jab. Every famous person that has a personal brand does this. Her brand just happens to be called the same as her name.

“AI” has been diluted to mean nothing but marketing wank. 99.999% of “AI” is single variable linear regression estimation. Almost all of the rest is multi variable linear regression.

Read up on her. She 100% portrays a product and sells that product. She knows what she’s doing.

Snapchat gave the info to police. From BBC:

On its website, in a section titled “How We Work with Law Enforcement Authorities”, Snapchat says one of its goals is to “maintain a safe and fun environment where Snapchatters are free to express themselves and stay in touch with their real friends”.

It adds: "We also work to proactively escalate to law enforcement any content appearing to involve imminent threats to life, such as school shooting threats, bomb threats and missing persons cases, and respond to law enforcement’s emergency requests for disclosure of data when law enforcement is handling a case involving an imminent threat to life.

Well he did it as a human person. They’re doing it as a corporation person. You can punish a human person with prison. You can only punish a corporation person with fines.

I’m not even being facetious. That’s how US law works.
