  • Bots make up 50% of internet traffic.

    I've read a study that claimed ads were 50% of traffic by data volume.

    Is anyone actually still using the internet, or is it all ad networks sending crap to bots?

  • I remember having a throat thing and a bit of fever when I was 15, I've gotten better after taking some paracetamol, but my mom said I should just go to the doctor just in case.

    The doctor gave me a sick paper for like 3 hours as he thought I was faking it, so literally just the doctor's visit, and told me "I can still make third period if I hurry". I was mostly okay for that Friday, but it got worse after I got home and I spent the weekend in bed.

    Next week was quite light since the classroom was pretty much empty save for the people who were sat furthest away from me on Friday. Wonder why.

  • The EMN project promotes a group of U.S. military veterans as experts and pundits willing to talk about the war in Ukraine. Some of them have been echoing Kremlin propaganda lines by claiming that U.S. military support for Ukraine is extending and intensifying the fighting, and suggesting that NATO expansion was one of the causes of the war. “We gave Putin just cause,” the director of EMN, Dennis Fritz, told The Daily Beast in an interview.

    This is not "anti-war" this is a "why are you hitting yourself" way of looking at things. Ukraine is a sovereign country that can make its own decisions. Supporting their fight against the invasion is not warmongering, it's the opposite. After all, it is just the latest in Putin's long list of wars, and if it does not stop at Ukraine, he will start more wars.

  • Oh they'll force you to use it. It will be shoved into every service you use, also ones you need to use. You will not be able to do your work, access government services, or live your life without going through them.

    Late stage capitalism has killed the free market a while ago.

  • I think we agree on this.

    Again, I'm not saying we should trust China, or that they are a positive force in the world, or even that we should indeed trade with them. We need to put our foot down about things like that.

    All I'm saying is that the US somehow got worse than them. And by "stable", I don't mean "trustworthy" or anything, it's just that the US seems to be making a sport out of going back on deals, at least we can trust the CCP to look out for its own interests and not go back on the occasional win-win deal.

    Again, I'm not saying that we should make more deals with China, but that the US is no better at this point, and we should figure out how to oust both their influences.

  • Their housing bubble is a nightmare

    You're saying that as if the US economy hasn't been a fucking bubble bath ever since the stock market got created. Bubbles don't matter apparently, which is stupid but this is the world we live in.

    their currency is not desirable

    That's the point, they don't want to make their wages incompetitively high by inflating their cost of living and thus nominal wages to the moon like the US.

    all their factory jobs are going overseas.

    That... is the goal? Factory jobs are low-added-value, you need educated people doing high wage jobs to become a developed country.

    I'm not stanning China, there are plenty of shit things aobut the country, but looking from here in Europe, it looks like they are a better partner than the US. Both of them do genocide, have a shitty human rights record, have neocolonial tendencies, shitty worker's rights, no proper democracy, etc.

    But China is at least stable as a trading partner.

  • Yeah, and also zero dependency management, so you are free to figure out what combination of Python, Tensorflow and Keras will make it not throw random exceptions.

    And don't forget the number one rule: you must use all the graphing libraries, all the time.

  • Anecdotally in tech it feels like nobody wants to hire juniors anymore. I wouldn't want to be a fresh grad these days.

    I'm seeing a group of fresh geneticists from one of the best unis in the world wondering what to do as academia salaries are falling behind inflation and biotech is not hiring. It feels so fucked up that you have all these smart people being forced to do nothing because labour is limited by capital. "Most efficient way to organise the economy" my ass.

  • We in Hungary might have taken "Ez ilyen" from you then. Means "this is how it is", used when pointing out an obvious issue to signal said issue is not going to be fixed any time soon as people have already gotten used to having to work around it.

  • Yeah I think the guy above you has an argument though. The steering wheel only acts as an accelerator if the vehicle is actually in motion. But then the brake also does that, so maybe there is a point in naming them differently.
