hell even just add NATO, EU, Canada, Mexico, and Panama to the list… prevent a problem for once

absolutely! similar is true of node in v8 (though python imo is far more mature in this regard) and probably most other languages

exactly why things like numpy are so popular: yeah python is slow, but python is just the orchestrator

further to that, “demonstrably worse for the planet” i’d like to debate: considering a huge amount of climate science is done with python-based tools because they’re far easier for researchers to pick up and run with - ie just get shit done rather than write good/clean code - i’d argue the benefit of python to the planet is in the outputs it enables for significantly reduced (or in many cases, perhaps outright enabled) input costs

yeah we have a “supply charge” that’s ~$1/day on top of that base rate too, so roughly the same situation :(

we’ve got this crap because of privatisation so it’s not likely to change any time soon.

i hope your energy prices come down when energy things stabilise in europe!

just sayin’ this is still so incredibly cheap… 8c/kwh… australian electricity prices are 24-43c/kwh (obv usd vs aud but the aussie $ isn’t that weak)

most likely? he either deeply believes in them or he’s using them as a tool and id say these things are indistinguishable given his actions

redacting information is a lot harder than that. you often have to redact things that allow people to draw correlations that lead to identity… details like that should be redacted

but this is ridiculous on its own, even without the enormous blunders that prove it’s about protecting co-conspirators rather than victims

actually from what i understand aldi isn’t an overstock kinda place: their brands are all in-house brands, but they go to big manufacturers and say you can whitelabel your product for us and get exclusive access to our shelves or we will go to your competitor

it’s often the same brand products that are 2x the price everywhere else but without the marketing and mark up that comes with

in australia i’ve never really had an issue with aldi not having stock of anything - unless you’re looking for brand name things, but that’s not really what aldi is about

never mind a leg up… kids in a fucking papoose at this point

not everyone can afford to have their actions match their values aye

enron sold plenty of gas and real things too: it’s the double handling that’s the problem; not the nature of the goods or services

openai has practically no value and that’s well known… nvidia is paying companies to buy their chips and playing bullshit shell games

the difference is openai is a pretty well known unprofitable company, and they aren’t doing quite as much of the bullshit shell games. nvidia is selling to basically everyone, taking stakes in companies, giving weird deals… it’s bloody impossible to track how much of their sales are real and how much those real sales are actually worth, or if those sales are loss leaders for some investment then those investments look a lot like openai

so nvidia not only is invested in a lot of very questionable AI bubble companies, but also their own sales figures are… unreliable

they’re making billions upon billions because they’re using their own money multiple times. it’s kinda like leveraged trading with all the risk and it’s incredible arrogant at the scale that nvidia is doing it

fevers break if your immune system attacks and destroys the threat. if the infection wins, you die. if you’re immunocompromised and get a fever, it’s very very bad news

i’m not saying that the democrats are compromised and they’re the immune system in this analogy of course… no no no… im just commenting on the biology!

before i start i want to make sure that this should in no way be interpreted as a “both sides” argument: i think yall should choose the most likely to win, least bad candidate (ie defensive voting; as disgusting as it is) - which almost certainly means a democrat at this point

i think it’s important to remember that both republican and democrats are relatively symmetrical in a lot of regards (not all). there are likely a similar number of people who actively support the democrats (distinct from defensive voting) no matter what, and they’d likely be equally problematic fixing systemic issues

perhaps they’d be easier to persuade, but it’s really easy to think that people on “our side” are governed by logic alone, but study after study has said that both sides are susceptible to propaganda and other political tools to a similar degree

and both positions are wrong. nobody ever said that the ROC wasn’t imperialist in the exact same way

chinas stance towards the south china sea and taiwan is what this exaggeration for the purposes of comedy is based on

and then wide scale adoption across the globe

there’s a bunch of FOSS work happening. i believe GNU Taler is specifically this. it’s being funded by the EU

right? like oh you don’t want to use this service that only costs us money? so sad… NEXT!

yup… i reread and realised i’d misread your comment and so deleted mine
