Reminds me of the video on how to build a cheap AC for camper with dry ice :D
BTW the rising CO2 concentration of the atmosphere is already affecting cognitive ability especially in classrooms. We'll need CO2 scubbers in closed rooms soon.
No this is you spend $65 and you get 7000 platinum plus the horse. So it's basically a discount on platinum. Implying this is $65 for a horse is misleading.
Otherwise you're right, the platinum is a manipulation to make people feel like they are not spending money.
It's a power grab. They'll justify control over the training data with intellectual property which keeps it out of the hands of everyday people but they stole the "intellectual property" from us in the first place. Then they'll control the "means of generation".
The reason and justification for free speech is also about preventing tyranny and holding people accountable and allowing unusual dissenting voices to be heard.
But a few now own all the means of communication, control and shape the speech and have practically become the government. There is no freedom of speech if so much of it is controlled and so much noise is blasted. Speech has become a commodity and if it's free it's worthless.
The problem is publishers and the huge risk you're selling to create a hit. You still have shareholders. Those who take the risk in financing a game development and those who own the IP.
Unless you got extremely lucky and can gamble with your own cash you always have shareholders in game development.
The problem is that FOX isn't conservative, it's reactionary. Conservative fundamentally means that you stick to what you know works, so they should all be social democrats. Because that is what worked the last 70 years. Not neoliberalism or magnifying fringe social issues
From what I've read they almost certainly completely wrong. This is a blog site that lays out the timeline and evidence and all the shenanigans. It's pretty horrible reading this. There is zero evidence and all the witnesses contradicted themselves or outright lied. A jury found him not guilty. But it was a cottage industry. It's about greed and media malfeasance and racism and maybe just hatred of freaks.
No. He had pornographic magazines of (adult) women. A complete zero evidence incriminating him, see here. But it was a cottage industry to make shit up. It's pretty sad example of media malfeasance / racism / greed / hatred against freaks.
Norm from Tested recently reviewed the "Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses". The most interesting use case for him was to have good, non obtrusive earphones that allow you to hear normally without blocking people out.
I wouldn't mind them using my data for good things. But I know they don't, their motivation is always profit - to extract wealth from me to their shareholders.
I think that's what I find so creepy about the comic, this delusional view of themselves as the good guys when their actions will always result in their profit rising more than any theoretical productivity and wage gains from technology. "Hey everyone! We've found a new and ethical way for everyone to help shovel our collective graves! Yay!"
With fascism it's always some "essential" identity which makes you special and it's a mythological one, but it also requires a belief in the moral correctness of inequality. I think most modern Jews outside Israel would not believe this. They might be proud of their identity but not cross that threshold.
The actual fascism must be fostered when the conditions are right. Material conditions need to deteriorate, some persistent real or imaginary fear being pushed and then enough mainstream media (incl. social media) has to push it.
I think most westerners completely missed how bad it is in Israel. Part of it is probably because they have their own language so their messaging only gets translated in "friendly" terms.
The hazard from climate change is in the rapid and chaotic change relative to natural changes. And we build our entire civilization and cities around a stable climate. So greener oceans could cause all sorts of problems that are in themselves not bad. Just that we have no idea what will happen. Maybe it should be called climate chaos.
Well you can wear blackface. It's just a very stupid choice
