If you call them PanoPods you can probably get venture capital funding and then just go buy a train and paint it with a cool design.

And then getting downvoted by people who just disagree with your opinion. I’m one of the Reddit refugees so I don’t know if we brought that with us or Lemmy was like that before but it’s sad to see.

Holy crap. I have Tidal on my phone and Plex at home. I didnt know I could connect them. Thank you!

Of course. And if the parents dress them in that and keep them isolated the kids will pass that on to the next generation. If the kids go to school and see there are other options, maybe they’ll choose to be different when they’re independent or raise their kids differently. This is why cults always seek to isolate their members – exposure to diversity breaks the cycle.

I don’t know the law in France, but I’d worry it’ll cause religious parents to just keep their kids out of state school and do some form of private religious education, causing a greater divide. The best counter to these attitudes is exposure to diversity and other viewpoints. Maybe the kids going to school and seeing that there are other ways is better.

You’re about a decade off. It was started in the 80s and ended under Clinton. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative

I don’t think there’s any great mystery to this. We want to breed with the mate most likely to help us produce viable offspring. Therefore we’re sensitive to indications of health and good genes. Symmetry, smoothness of muscle movements, quality of skin & hair, indications of good blood flow, even things like regular breathing are all indications. When we see a simulation that appears not quite human it’s noticable for all those details. That detection of unhealthy can easily detect death of course. There may also have been an instinct to avoid the sick, but social pressures override that sometimes.

The internet theory that we wanted to detect imposter humans is silly. Early hominids interbred a lot. It’s not “human” that we’re sensitive too. Just health.

I don’t think it was that meta. I think they had it in planning for PG-13 but decided to go for PG.

I wish they’d kept the one in Galaxy Quest that was obviously overdubbed.

BeBox had dual processors (unusual for the time) and the GUI had a little tool that let you see the load on both, and a little check box to turn off a processor so that you could force all the processes to run on on the other. If you turned off both processors the computer halted.

The Be employee I met at the time said they left it that way because that’s what you told it to do. And it was funny.

I always had to appreciate that commitment to pedantry.

Check out glassdoor if you are in the US. Last I looked the data was pretty decent though it may be slipping. Be careful posting there.

Also if you are friends (or friends of friends) with any experienced recruiters not at the companies you’re applying to, they usually have up to date info.

That one really wasn’t as obvious at the time. Netflix was in huge debt and hadn’t really built their streaming platform yet. In fact streaming was barely possible. Blockbuster should have been able to out-compete Netflix at both dvd by mail and streaming but they screwed it up. Netflix won, but may now end up getting killed by the big studios.

It seems like Teslas get way less range when it’s cold, especially the ones without heat pumps. This is no surprise whatsoever but it’s not well covered by EPA range estimates because combustion engines get free heat. So it’s not something people are used to thinking about.

Seems like where Tesla f’d up is by making a team to lie about it instead of just telling people, “yeah that’s what happens.” As usual it’s the cover-up that worse than the crime. Tesla will probably win the case but will look stupid. Should have just been honest about it.

If the company owns the endpoint there’s lots they can do to monitor your traffic even with a VPN. For phones if you sign in to work mail with your phone and allow them to manage your device just assume they have control of it now.

What Twitter did well I think was handle the non-trvial problems of scale, and did a fairly credible job of content moderation. I can find fault with a lot of how they handled that but they did honestly try. Becoming the dominant platform is always largely luck, but had they not adequately handled scale and content they would not have lasted for so long. Content moderation is a people, process, and technology problem.

Twitter like it or not has been pivotal for connecting people around the world especially those with less developed infrastructure. The Arab Spring events would not have happened without it. Which is why I think the Saudis were happy to give Elon money. They knew he’d either make it more friendly for them, or kill it and they’d have a hold on him because of the money he owes.

One of the funniest things I ever saw on Twitter (long time ago): “Accidentally washed the toddler with dog shampoo. In my defense both bottles have pictures of puppies on them.”

To whoever downvoted this, I hope you have a five day bout of constipation.
