A guy made a website that monitors restaurant orders in DC, posted a year ago and it's down now... I wonder if he got a friendly knock and talk or just didn't want to pay hosting any longer.
If you buy fresh tuna and the country of origin date code is MM/DD/YY while you're DD/MM/YY or YY/DD/MM or YY/MM/DD you could end up with year-old fish or worse. So yeah.
And no, it won't always be something easily detectable by look and smell like fish.
Because of the other writing on the package, I'm wondering if because its sold on the international market and dates would get very confusing and possibly harmful.
Friendly reminder that Bluetooth has a larger network stack than Wi-Fi. Much more code, much larger available attack base. There have been many numerous Bluetooth vulnerabilities that allow remote code execution or theft of files.
This is truly becoming a surveillance state, in no way that can be debated. That want to be able to access everyone's innermost thoughts (texts, notes, recordings, calendars, contacts, photos, you get it) without any chance of someone being able to protect against it.
Reminder that Google was the 2nd or 3rd company to commit to NSA's PRISM program of feeding American's data for future analysis.
AIM/MSN/Yahoo chatrooms. GeoCities. Neopets. Limewire, KaZaa, listening to Art Bell on the radio next to you while you search for the latest alien news and read ancient texts. Webrings. Message boards. NSA hadn't partnered with Microsoft for the first version of PRISM.
It was more decentralized, but even in the centralized parts there weren't yet entire industries dedicated to stealing every last bit of dopamine from you to sell to the highest bidder.
[Reporter] But again, you think that’s unfair because of who your mom is. Because she suffers. Something about her suffering catalyzed in you the desire to end suffering in other people. Does that make sense?
No, that doesn’t make sense. Unfortunately, not all disease is genetic. There will still be disease and suffering. We are not that much of an optimistic fantasy.
Like she knows it's partly optimistic fantasy that will eventually work if she just keeps it going, but let it slip. E. Holmes thought the same thing... just a little more time and we'll have it.
I'm very glad I found the link to read the full article. She really does come off just like Elizabeth Holmes. When there isn't a viable product to sell, you really have to sell yourself. There are plenty female tech CEOs that stay out of the media, just like the majority don't know the names of most male tech CEOs, besides the few largest.
The way she reacted to the question of "your company is basically using exactly the same style of claimed technology as Theranos" as "Ugh. You're a meanie. Women shouldn't only be slaves!" is really quite telling.
As long as you either have many tens of millions, or you don't care about electricity, water, food, and you're extremely physically isolated and/or hidden very well and armed to the teeth, it shouldn't affect you much.
For the rest of us it's something to worry about. Infrastructure needs a lot of trained people to operate. Once the train gets going it doesn't stop, and that means as time goes on it gets worse and worse until it reaches a point of stability some X years after collapse. And you won't be able to freely and adaquetely hunt/pick your food if you're anywhere near a city until point X, because everyone else will be doing the same. Also some idiots will be bathing in the only still good stream near you with whatever leftover chemicals they can find.
Your country can open the immigration floodgates and become a country without borders (i.e. become whatever country is currently your neighbor) but that comes with similar problems listed above.
So as you can see, it's not an issue for a small privileged few. For the rest of us, its a big fucking deal. I would encourage you to look into it.
Hot take: if you have so little free time that the best you can do is phone time, maybe you need to work on priorities or time management.
I get it. I also have shit time management and spend too much free time on my phone, when I could be replacing an hour spent on my phone with an hour at a nearby coffee shop reading a book, or participating in an hour social club once per week.
That makes me feel strangely better about trust. Even those who were convinced the father of their child was someone else, it was only the case 1/10 to 3/10 of the time. That doesn't mean there wasn't infidelity, but I thought the numbers would be higher.
In essence, when the growth rate slows to a certain point, people are dying faster than they're being replaced, and the trend can only continue unless everyone starts having 10 kids.
It's a matter of job replacement. Maybe AI will partly help, or maybe we'll open our borders so immigrants can come end masse and do all the jobs we don't have enough people for, but unless extreme measures are taken once it gets to that point, civilization as we know it will collapse.
I'm by no means pro-forced birth. But birth rate decline is a serious issue.
The U.S. population grew at the slowest pace in history in 2021, according to census data released last week. That news sounds extreme, but it’s on trend. First came 2020, which saw one of the lowest U.S. population-growth rates ever. And now we have 2021 officially setting the all-time record.
U.S. growth didn’t slowly fade away: It slipped, and slipped, and then fell off a cliff. The 2010s were already demographically stagnant; every year from 2011 to 2017, the U.S. grew by only 2 million people. In 2020, the U.S. grew by just 1.1 million. Last year, we added only 393,000 people.
No you're not being paranoid its how it works. No browser isolates tabs like you're talking about unless you use containers. Google owns the largest ad company on the internet, so any site that embeds their tracking scripts (most of the Western internet) will send the page you visited to Google, so they know what pages you're going to, and highly likely use that information to inform the YouTube algorithm about you. Even if you have a tracker blocker installed, like unlock Origin, if you use Google they still know which link you clicked and what you searched.
