Yeah I'm kinda surprised they made it open, to be honest. But they did, and its in a way that can't be retracted, so nothing depends on their continuing good behavior.

Definitely are.

In a way it makes sense because the industry loves its acronyms and you'll be using them.

On the other hand, I have the ability to search. I'm an IT professional, I will have a computer. Let me let the computer do the lookup. Its the old "you won't have a calculator with you all the time" argument that was dated when my teachers told it to me.

There are already 2 of them.

NACS, which is essentially the Tesla charger, was made available to other car manufacturers at no cost already, in 2022. Due to a few reasons, among them the existence of Tesla superchargers already deployed, a lot of companies have adopted this as their charger for newer cars.

Even if Tesla went down completely, their charger is already open, so nah I don't expect any changes based on this.

Because reddit has blocked guest VPN users lately.

Definitely defeats the point, but its deliberate.

Which is why they suggested finding an organization/association, not an arbitrary website.

Funnily enough, chatgpt should be able to recommend some great associations. GPT-3 doesn't even have up-to-date databases so it doesn't even know about any new AI things that have popped up.

So find a real group of people, ask them things.

It's because they don't see them as people, they see them as violent criminals that the world would be better off without.

If you step into their shoes for a minute, and one of the criminals you just successfully took off of the streets said they can't breathe, your first thought might be "good. Maybe that'll teach you a lesson about doing crimes in my neighborhood." Your second might be "I wish I could shoot you right now and get this over with, but maybe I'll get lucky and I can say I didn't hear you."

Note that the second one is inherently a stupid thought, there's body cams. That kind of logic didn't stop my 5-year-old from telling me she cleaned her room when I could easily check and find out she didn't, and it won't stop cops from fantasizing about everything working out here.

That's exactly why they do things that way. They're living out a fantasy world where there are no real rules and there are no consequences, and they have to live a balancing act between indulging in that and dealing with reality. Sometimes cops fail to balance that, and that's what we see here.

As for who trains them, it's their fellow cops. This isn't a bunch of individual fantasies, these men work and train and talk together about how it'd be so much better if they had less restrictions and just talk about that hypothetical world. New cops who have any kind of racism or similar "My group is best" can join the conversation and add in their own unique version to the group fantasy. New cops who aren't already racist, though, won't hear blatant racism. No, they will just hear about crime stats and reoffending rates, about cops that died trying to deal with all the supposed crime, and about how stopping them is justice and will help everyone, not just cops. In time they'll share the group fantasy, too, and stop seeing their victims as people. Occasionally someone just doesn't join in the fantasy and they get bullied until they quit.

This is why the easiest way to move forward from this kind of thing is to gut the police departments and start over, or we at least need bodycams that can't be turned off so easily.

Yeah but no one just has a kingdom or phylum.

Every living creature gets an entry from domain to species.

Celestial bodies aren't a hierarchy, a planet isn't also a dwarf planet or an asteroid.

Thing is everyone has one of those.

Compare it to non-sentience, sentience, and sapience, to properly anthropomorphize it.

If they accept the patient, and the patient needs an emergency abortion, then they could face legal consequences for providing one, or face losing their license for denying critical care.

Either way, if such a circumstance happens, the doctor is completely fucked, and they'd rather keep their job, and help other people.

There's confusion about what is and isn't allowed, which isn't helping. Doctors don't know what they could be sued for. Its in their best interest to not see patients like this. Doctors need protections at least, but governments have specifically taken steps to make them liable, and this confusion and refusal is part of the plan to make abortions this scary thing.

I know, right? So many creators even explain why they do that, it's because they can't make enough from youtube to do this full time, but they can from raid shadow legends.

YouTube premium would be worth something if all the creativity their creators have to use to make a living despite the pay was used for better content.

Yeah I agree. Religions have bonus rules related to that, but consent makes it fine, there's no actual ick there innately. There's plenty of room for a religion to make it creepy and not OK, but that's not fundamentally tied to polygamy.

I've hung out with a bunch of Mormons and while they personally felt it was weird now, because they have grown up in a monogamous nation, the church itself would definitely gear up to switch back, if it was legal.

That would be a process, though. They are currently taught that it is morally fine, but following the laws of the land is important, and basically treat it like part of their history. On an individual level, the ones I know seemed fine with that, even those that had an active role in the church.

The more the code is used, the faster it ought to be. A function for an OS kernel shouldn't be written in Python, but a calculator doesn't need to be written in assembly, that kind of thing.

I can't really speak for Rust myself but to explain the comment, the performance gains of a language closer to assembly can be worth the headache of dealing with unsafe and harder to debug languages.

Linux, for instance, uses some assembly for the parts of it that need to be blazing fast. Confirming assembly code as bug-free, no leaks, all that, is just worth the performance sometimes.

But yeah I dunno in what cases rust is faster than C/C++.

I regularly send emails to spam that say something along the lines of "Hey, you have free dominos" because I could redeem 20 points for a free ranch dressing. I also get emails about whatever deal they decide to have that week.

I can't fix that cause I need 60 for the pizza, the 20 is gonna sit idle.

Also while I'm bringing it up, 20 for a sauce? Hell no. 10 would be too high.

But yeah, they're annoying, but within reason for a rewards program, I do get something from this.

So you borrow a share of a stock from someone, promising to pay them back the shares and a little fee for them not having their shares available. You turn around and immediately sell their share. Let's say the share was worth 100$, so you pocket that. You anticipate the stock dropping to 80, and if you're right, when that happens you buy a stock of that company later and then give that stock to the guy you borrowed it from. You make 20$, pay that little fee, and go about your day.

If it doesn't hit your target though, at some point you decide to cut your losses, since the fees associated with not giving back the stock are prohibitively high by design. If the share stayed at 100$, you just lose that little fee. If its 150$, you paid the fee and 50$.

You always buy a stock later, but shorting weakens a stock because you sold first and that reflects in the stocks price, potentially triggering other sales.

If you wanna say "ive never bought truth social stock" you can't short, although you can still say "I've never invested in truth social".

DS had full WiFi, just nothing to do with it unless a game needed it, but yeah pictochat did use that receiver. As far as I know it was a proprietary protocol so not actually WiFi, but same antenna and bandwidth and everything.

I really think that everyone really had trouble with the DS microphone rather than the flute challenge itself. It came pretty easily to me but I doubt I'm a particularly expert mic blower, so I can only think my mic was a fully functioning one and people like you got a much harder challenge.

Well I didn't know that. Good information.

But can you convince it to report itself for its violations if you phrase it like it's a person?
