Plenty of chemical syntheses are patented. Biological catalysts and precursors are patented every day. No one owns the rights to orbital calculations, because that would be like patenting the concept of a square root — it’s not novel or even complex within the field.
What data do you need to leave your bubble? Issue polling, favorability polling, revealed preference, actual vote share? Americans, by a wide margin, want. Less legal immigration and stricter enforcement of immigration law — including detention and deportation.
It’s the unfortunate reality.
One of my favorite movies of all time. The gun battle in the streets is an all-time great scene.
User base size dictates development resources. If you want Linux mobile to be daily driveable, you do need widespread adoption.
Look at the FUD getting voted to the top. This place is just as bad as Reddit.
Not at all? This is nonsense. The very concept of a standing professional military has been exceedingly rare throughout history and was so during the Revolutionary period as well.
There’s no one in the entire world that likes the current system except for the dealers. OEMs and consumers hate them and would rather move to a direct system. It’s awful. Fuck Tesla, but direct sales are just a superior system and there’s no reason not to move to them now that we no longer have the hurdles which once necessitated the dealership model.
Look here’s one in the wild!
Maybe some tech has increased efficiency (although, when it does that increase is more often than not temporary and short lived), but there is even more “tech” that swarms that space rent seeking any time, money, or other resource saved by that increased efficiency. After the efficiencies degrade, the tech-as-a-scam persists and you end up with less efficient systems than you started with.
For the past 20 years, tech has promised to make things more efficient while making almost everything more complicated and less meaningful. Innovation, for innovation’s sake, has eroded our craftsmanship, relationships, and ability to think critically.
I feel this in my bones.
Which is funny, because Apple itself is giving one of the best takedowns of generative AI with the flagship feature on the most recent iPhone.
We just reporting on standard motions now?
It’s just not competitive with the quality of support on Windows. It’s bad enough, comparatively, that if you’re a heavy VR user it’s worth keeping a Windows install just for that use. There was a long post on /r/linuxgaming a few weeks back rolling up all the issues into one post, I’ll try to find it. One of the best comments in the post was by a top-ranked Beatsaber player actually; he said that latency among other things was the reason he has kept dual booting – only using Windows for VR gaming. I know that I just gave up on playing Elite: Dangerous in VR successfully because I didn’t want to fuss with dual booting.
Nope. Get fucked
No I can’t
You realize that there are differences in the populations working at different times, right? Or are you just happy to be seen being outraged?
Love a protest in the middle of the workday, should be easy for most people to attend, no?
Sure, but it’s an additional 70 miles. Not something that would go unnoticed.
