How many times you think a state government uses this vs the thousands of cameras, warrants, a well placed USB stick on the desk, and monitoring the war thunder forums?
Very often. Software supply chain attacks are the most common method of infiltration these days, and even in environments with compliance requirements people are very laissez-faire about what they install.
The comment from the other thread is right - combination devices are more complex, and thus more likely to break and not have replacement parts available.
Personally I would go with swiffer type mop (flat rectangle) with a microfiber cloth instead of their proprietary pads. The cloth is washable and reusable. And if you don’t want to use microfiber because of microplastics, then a cotton kitchen towel would work too.
“Fully commit” to see the light? That… sounds more like a kind of religion, not like critical or even rational thinking.
It also gives these shovel peddlers an excuse: “Oh, you’re not seeing gains? Are you even lifting AI-ing, bro? You probably have some employees not using enough AI, you have to blame them instead of us.”
Have you seen those places? They’re a fraction the size of indoor playgrounds, and displace shelves that used to be packed with toys. https://www.toysrus.ca/en/playlab-indoor-playground.html
Because every soft play place eventually devolves into a lure to get kids to play overpriced, lootboxified arcade games.
She’s practically just as you remember her.
Except for the soft play area they’re adding. She’s enshittifying.
They misspelled ruin.
That’s why I drew the distinction between banning things the government doesn’t approve of and banning Nazi symbolism. The former is a risk to freedom of expression, but the latter is just hate speech, and south of the border (heck, even here with the KKKonvoy) is a perfect example of where the line should have been drawn w.r.t. that.
And just to be clear, I’m not defending the bill - I’ll criticising the examples that the article used.
Not favourite, but I used to use Google search almost exclusively because the results were good, and I could tell it to never show results from certain sites.
No need to tell this community the sad state of affairs it’s in now…
It’ll be even worse - with traditional search you can adjust the algorithm and filter out results. With LLMs SEO is going to poison the entire dataset because you can’t just excise the parts you don’t want.
While government censorship is dangerous, the article is picking some really disingenuous examples:
Another provision would make it illegal (as a government backgrounder puts it) to “willfully promote hatred against an identifiable group by publicly displaying certain terrorism or hate symbols.” It specifies the Nazi swastika, the SS insignia and the symbols of designated terrorist groups. What that means is that someone could be arrested in Canada simply for waving a flag, a bad idea no matter how odious the idea it represents.
If you’re waving a Nazi flag, you’re not “just waving a flag.” They could have gone with “you could get charged for protesting a genocide” but decided to go with “I won’t be able to show my approval of fascism.” ಠ_ಠ
It requires some serious juice. Bone healing juice, to be precise.
Cobalt 60 has a half life of 5.27 years. Assuming that a language lost to time is at least 500 years old, the rod should be fairly safe to handle. Heck, even after only 100 years less than 0.01% of the original amount of radioactive material would be left.
But that aside - One of the items that can be found in the video game series Avernum is Uranium bars, which give you a nice unhealthy glow :)
NGL, I had to do a double take because I read it as injuries too on the first pass.
I’m throwing a stack trace, alright?
Ctrl-R if you know part of the command.
That’s a strawman argument. You’re attributing arbitrary personalities and intents to Alice, Bob, and Charlie. Governments are not individual people. And even if we ignore all of that, people are allowed to be wrong in the past, if they make good faith attempts to rectify things in the future. Otherwise it becomes eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, and resentment all around.
That defeatist attitude is how Trump got reelected.
Don’t let perfect become the enemy of good enough, and don’t let someone else’s good enough become the enemy of “it’s a start.”
In the political scene, recognizing statehood is the first step, because it becomes state vs state instead of state vs its own people. It doesn’t erase the atrocities that happened, but it opens a door for reparations in the future.
If you’d read the article (or even the excerpt that OP included), the author firmly places the blame on the American medical and insurance industry that is refusing to cover inhaler versions without greenhouse gas propellants.
