Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change?

  • Yeah that should offset the massive pollution from global industry right? I feel that the shift of responsibility to the individual is a distraction.

  • Gonna quit weed. Cold turkey. If I don't have control over my consumption now, I think that's a sign I need to stop until I do have that ability again, if ever.

    • Fireworks explode during house fire in Massachusetts

    Jump

  • Setting off fireworks near buildings, or aiming them into Windows, etc is not a safe way to behave. This is not the same thing as safely posessing, storing, and enjoying fireworks. Something which countless Americans manage to accomplish, regardless of local laws.

    Look into the news stories of fireworks accidents. It's almost exclusively stupid people. Like, duh, Cleetus halfway through his twelfth beer managed to blow his arm off because he thought it would be a good idea to hold a mortar shell in his hand and light it. Big surprise.

  • Oh please. Everyone ignores fireworks laws.

  • Are the Feds actually this smooth-brained? I mean, I know they have to maintain the appearance of control, so his words make sense from that perspective. But surely they have to be aware, the very backdoors they originally forced down our throats are EXACTLY WHAT'S CAUSING THIS PROBLEM NOW. These geniuses who purportedly protect American citizens, are either woefully inept, lacking basic understanding of how data security actually works, or LYING with malice. Which do you think it is?

    • NASA's 2 stuck astronauts face more time in space with return delayed until at least late March

    Jump

  • Seems like that could breed resentment in the minds of astronauts who get stuck, like Butch and Suni. As cool as working in space would be, it's still work. Combined with the toll that microgravity takes on the body, and missing my loved ones, I'd be wanting some "extra" compensation for my time and health.

  • So, real nuts and bolts question here. How does this affect their pay? Are they being paid extra to be up there so long? I would want overtime.

  • Content filters! I've got them for Trump, Elon, "Slammed", "Dragged", "Blasted" and the question mark, because news headlines in the form of questions can almost always be answered with the word "no" and are not worth my time.

    • They See Your Photos

    Jump

  • Obviously, don't upload any photos to the demo site that you wouldn't want shared. That's pretty basic internet 101. The point is to demonstrate the amount and types of information Google infers from its users' data. So feed it a pic you don't care about, or try with the supplied images.

    • They See Your Photos

    Jump

  • Best part? The description supplied here is probably a limited version of all the information that Google infers from each of your photographs. It would make sense to ask for a short 3 paragraph summary of key observations to fit within API limits. On Google's end? No reason for such limits to exist. So they infer even more from your data than this website can show. And they run this kind of compute on everything you give them.

    They "claim" that they don't sell or share this data. Do you trust them?

    You might say you have nothing to hide, but you also don't get to control the shifting definitions of what's acceptable. Today you're fine. Tomorrow you're labeled a political dissident because of the evidence of Wrongthink that Google happily supplied to the government without your knowledge. Especially in light of the incoming administration, this is an important discussion to have.

    Here is a list of FOSS Google Photos alternatives. Immich looks particularly good to me.
