When I had a surface, windows hello and my pen would just stop working if an update was pending. Windows is always fun in this regard.

I mean not really once costal areas flood and the locations best for growing food change we will see massive issues with humanity surviving, the rest of the ecosystem would adapt, migrate and evolve to survive. Hell even chernobyl basically shows us even if we went the full nuclear option wildlife would bounce back better than before with just maybe shortened life expectancies. We are a lot more prone to die from changes than the wildlife on this planet is.

Is there to support the dairy industry

The comment you responded to was backing you up, correct.

You probably just put them back on schedule for the day so they were happy you got them out on time lol

America is supposed to be a melting pot of different cultures, I think we can make it work and I'm sure those who are unhoused would much rather be able to live in a communal space with a roof and shower than nothing. Fuck corporate real estate profits and let the people live ffs

Did they update it? For the longest time, you had to use their account sync to get ublock on Android

I wonder what the market would be for such a solution. Make a custom raspberry pi like small server that has a self hosted website with a decent UI to setup most solutions like email, nas, pihole, and maybe a media server. Sell the easy setup to those who can't be bothered, while still being open source and promoting Foss alternatives. I'm sure you could even sell different server tiers for power users as well who don't want to be bothered with it. Then you could always sell a security service in a sense that will have people at the organization maintaining and updating the packages on the server os for that identified hardware. Then anyone who is inclined could set this up on their own so long as they have the skills to maintain their security, otherwise for basically the same cost as most subscriptions you could be able to self host email, Nas, media and an ad blocker network wide. As long as the ui experience setting this up is just as polished as simple as setting up a Gmail account I feel like this could do pretty well.

Switching engines also depends on how portable your work from the old engine is with regard to the new engine. It may not be impossible but can still be a lot of work. The earlier that decision is made, the better.

Not to mention I'm guessing a good amount of indie devs are not abstracting every detail of interacting with the engine from the getgo in the chance they want to swap engines down the line. I'm sure some more experienced studios due for that just incase measure or to make migrating past breaking changes a bit easier when they crop up. But generally speaking I can't imagine that's a common tactic. But even if it did your still going to have to recreate every new implementation for your interfaces and there are bound to be differences here that are gonna take some time.

On Android you have to setup sync and install the ad blocker of choice on desktop, then sign in on the phone and it will pull your plugins and sync them, worth also trying on IOS as even on Android it's not as simple as going to plug in manager and installing.

In order to add ad blocker on my phone I just setup my ad block on desktop, setup Firefox sync and then signed in on my phone. At that point it pulled ublock origin and installed it. Not sure if it's the same process for IOS but it's worth giving it a shot.

The only issue with it is needing to teach people to fact check back with 1st party sources. Teachers are not always absolute, documentation is not always absolute, and search engines are certainly not always absolute especially with SEO. Fact checking is always a necessity whether using generative AI solutions or not. You need to take a step back, this improves efficiency when used correctly and you won't teach proper use cases if not brought up early with students in school. You are arguing against yourself here.

It does not work. At most it looks like it works.

No it does work, it's just most people don't understand its just a very complex lookup table essentially using a predictive model. It doesn't think, nor feel, nor imagine, it runs a function to choose the next fitting word based on previous inputs and it's training set. In that regard it is damn good.

Lol, call out your bullshit and you have nothing but a reductionist argument, but sure bud I'm the one not playing with a full deck. Go lick some more boots if you can't engage in constructive conversation.

Modern accounting techniques are amazing and super effective,

Hmm

The biggest weakness of accounting though is its inability to capture externalities

Oh so you mean it's actually dog shit then, if you can't properly look at external risks outside the clearly defined formulas and can game said fomulas to cook books to one's liking.

How does one company record the cost of their employees commute? How do you even begin to calculate that? How do you measure the cost of extra leukemia cases in a town ten years after a train derails nearby? How do you record that in your books? How do you calculate and record the distress these huge noisy shipping vessels cause whales? It's just so subjective and impractical.

You act like these are difficult tasks in the modern era. Commute is pretty simple, what type of vehicle, what are its maintenance costs at certain mileages, what are the crash statistics, etc. Once you have a general fomula you can add an increased payout to cover ireegular externalities to properly hedge against the edge cases. Same shit for the others. It's not subjective and impractical, it's just not the going to be perfectly effiecnt as you need to create a bigger financial bubble to account for edge cases. The problem is hyper fixation on extracting the most captial possible from a business. Stop trying to be the most clean cut business and focus on aiding your communities, working to better infrastructure and stop interference with local governments for tax benefits. Then progressive changes can be beneficial to both and reduce external unmitigated risks as we have a more nuanced model to work with.

So you also make sure location discrimination is illegal as well. There can be multiple parts to the legislation.

How do you factor in the overabundance of cheap, nutritionally fucked food, and how that may affect those living paycheck to paycheck?

I eat constantly processed shit. I hate cooking, but it's still damn simple, don't get the biggest meal at McDonald's, get the low sodium/fat frozen pre cooked meals that only have a couple hundred calories per serving for under the cost of a meal from fast food. Then you just don't over eat, wait 20mins or so after and let your body naturally tell you it's full instead of eating until you want to puke. Bottled water is cheaper than cans or soda regardless of if you get them from a dollar store or not. It's literally cheaper to eat less food which is the main part of weight maintenance.

Side note, as a nurse I've seen patients who are obese because of circumstances and medical issues. Someone who has to work two jobs, has a kid, and newly discovered hypothyroidism is not obese because they don't care. They have a medical issue and no extra time/resources to compensate for it with a refined diet and exercise (especially considering one of the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism is fatigue). You're not even factoring in the undiagnosed, or those who don't have access to sufficient healthcare.

Hypothyroidism is like 5% of the population. Obesity is at 40%, let's not act like our obesity epidemic is because everyone with hypothyroidism is trying to move to the USA to boost our statistics.

My overall point is if you're targeting obese people specifically, you're not on the right track.

Na there is nuance between shaming someone for decisions made well within their control and understanding some are placed there beyond their control. I'm not advocating for those with hypothyroidism to be attacked, if anything calling out obesity would help bring awareness to those fronts as it would promote discussion about the issues instead of downplaying it so those with issues cant get the help needed like you descibed earlier in your post. Like trying to pass legislation that requires employers to give reasonable medical accommodations to those individuals so they have enough time to prep meals or even have subsidies that can give them more healthy choices at reasonable prices.

The dairy industry is subsidized through the US government, it's literally a goal for the fda to promote dairy, and companies that use more diary or cheese in their products get subsidies from the government (think stuffed crust pizza and extra cheese). Putting that blame on the obese is not what I was getting at, at all. More that we have industries who do not care if they create obesity, but if we apply social pressure, it may help stop some from over consumption at a young age. If that can aid in promoting healthier life styles from a young age before major life stressors make it almost impossible to get out of that seems like some form of progress as our governments seem keen to do absolutely shit for the problem at hand. Then we can try and figure out more human solutions but allowing for this level of hyper consumption unabated just doesn't seem sustainable or progress inducing.

Most new jets are fly by wire (f35 is one of these, where as the link you posted was about an aircraft which was not), they are inherently aerodynamically unstable, below a certain speed it's just gonna stall and crash not glide to the ground. We use computers to manage the instability as the instability aids in maneuverability. Passenger planes and the like are not designed like this, so they can, in theory, just glide down, but the glide slope is what will determine if it's gonna be a soft or deadly landing.

Gotta keep your commute time down by gaming maps it'd the only way lol
