    • kids don't have a choice, the state has an obligation to protect them from harms even if their parents willfully put them at risk
    • Vaccines aren't 100% effective, a certain number of children will catch the disease even if vaccinated
    • Vaccines aren't available to everyone
    • Greater spread encourages more mutation, leading to more dangerous variants

    Sounds familiar right.

    Remember all those siblings and extended family members who died of smallpox when you were younger? No? That's because we drove smallpox to the edge of extinction through aggressive vaccination campaigns over decades. We almost managed to do the same with measles until these chucklefucks ruined it for cheap political points, and now 136,000 people died from it last year

  • It doesn't block them exactly, but it's trying to make it uneconomical to target the site using bots - if it now takes 1 second to perform the action rather than 1/100th of a second, you now need 100x more bots to achieve the same effect

  • This is relevant to my interests, thanks. Looks like it's pretty early stages though?

  • No tipping culture where I live either, but there are a few places - especially in tourist heavy areas - where the EFTPOS machine will ask if you want to add a tip before you put your card in. Just about every place I've been the server will hit the "0%" button for you before handing the machine over if they can tell you are a local

  • It's not uncommon for adolescent catgirls to go through an emo phase; being a teenager is hard and they will grow out of using Windows with time.

    That said, if you think they are engaging in acts of self harm - such as setting up active directory, or running an exchange server - you should seek professional support

  • Cool - was trying to get set up with v1.94, but had real trouble getting pgvecto-rs to work properly, pgvector seems much more stable and better supported and was a breeze to get running

  • My wife needed her gall bladder out last year the most expensive part of the whole week-long ordeal was paying for parking at the hospital. She has private medical insurance through her work, but needing to deal with the paperwork and all that from the hospital wasn't worth the effort.

    The fact that people have to choose between bankruptcy or dying of preventable illness is kinda like school shootings: the fact that you tolerate this at all - let alone having a major party campaign on "these things are actually good and you should be happy about them" - is pretty much proof that all of you are completely insane.

  • Oh I have. Pretty typical playbook for conservatives world wide at the moment. They can't even be creative in their lack of creativity

    • An HP ML350p w/ 2x HT 8 core xeons (forget the model number) and 256GB DDR3 running Ubuntu and K3s as the primary application host
    • A pair of Raspberry Pi's (one 3, one 4) as anycast DNS resolvers
    • A random minipc I got for free from work running VyOS as by border router
    • A Brocade ICX 6610-48p as core switch

    Hardware is total overkill. Software wise everything is running in containers, deployed into kubernetes using helmfile, Jenkins and gitea

  • See, what you are forgetting is that socialism is for people who checks notes have all the capital and capitalism is for people who shuffles index cards have no capital to participate with

  • dragging this country backwards

    Delivering on campaign promises - no new ideas just "vote for us and we'll undo the progress the last government made!"

  • Something like odoo (https://www.odoo.com/) might work?

    You probably aren't going to find something that works for your specific needs right out of the box, so your best bet would be finding a platform that gets you 80% of the way there and provides enough of a plugin mechanism that you can develop the remaining 20% of the functionality yourself

  • You'd be really hard pressed to make a case for civil liability against an employee, even in cases where they did not perform their duties in accordance with their training - unless they have actively broken the law, the most recourse you have is to fire them

  • If I'm the chatbot vendor, why would I agree to those terms?

  • I wonder if this will turn into a new attack vector against companies; talk their LLM chat bots into promising a big discount, take the company to a small claims court to cash out

  • The thing is, none of that is even slightly true; even if the chatbot were it's own legal entity, it would still be an employee and air Canada are liable for bad advice given by their representatives

  • Oh I'm pretty sure they do. The intended outcome was achieved

  • I had a BEV on the budget for late this year (move banks to get a low-interest loan + some savings once the mortgage comes off fixed), isn't practical with the price increase, so will back burner that plan for a couple of years and hope prices drop a bit

  • I can't imagine why increasing the price of something by $7000 would suppress demand for it
