I think any company that is sunsetting a product with existing customers still using it should offer full refunds or a way to operate it without the company.
Cloud services have no incentive to continue operating unless they charge ‘rent’ as servers and maintenance is not free. However, if they choose to use proprietary ways to protect their IP, they should also have an obligation. If they choose to not have that obligation, they lose the IP and open source it.
That his support is in the 20s on some metrics is telling that he’s losing his base. He used to have a 30-35% unbreakable following no matter what he did. This is good news. It’s harder for him to break laws with less support.
The emperor has no clothes and more people are starting to see. I think the plan to try to forment an uprising to quash has failed and instead they look weak and petty with less support.
That’s the point, really. People can be terrible or great, no matter their background, or identity.

In the context of human energy use it’s also extremely simplified. Energy in can be measured in terms of food, but that assumes all calories are absorbed. It also assumes exact efficiency. It assumes average energy use etc.
As weight loss drugs show, for many who struggled with weight loss before, it’s also important how the body uses, stores and distributes the energy.
Sure, no energy is created or destroyed, but dietary makeup, hormones, metabolism gut motility, gut biome, etc all have an effect in the process.
Being pushed there or going there naturally, it’s still moving that direction.
If ai allows the improvements hoped for, it’s likely to increase productivity for humanity just like all other major advances did.
It’s politics and laws that decide who benefits from it. Under our current systems, wealthy people and corporations benefit, but likey we’ll see increasing taxes on ai output and increases in ubi type schemes for people.
AI is a bubble currently but it is an advancement in tech that provides benefit. Just nowhere near the benefit to be actual intelligence.
Human jobs get eliminated by new tech all the time. This just has and will be rapid, which leads to upheaval. Unfortunately, it’s precisely at a time when the world is already moving towards war and authoritarianism, so it’s particularly bad timing.
Or even any foss projects with social parts that are kid safe.
I’d love to let my kid play daily Scrabble with his grandma overseas with chat. However, .ost games seem to be open to all or closes to chat completely. There is no middle ground.
The dead people would also disagree if they could.
The allies of america would disagree.
The Irish version is already happening. However not everyone will get it.
Yes, but if we start with jobs that don’t always pay well and benefit us all, that’s a good start. We can add more over time. Then we can stop calling them jobs.
Yes but even if it is a conscious decision and she doesn’t or didn’t care about him, there’s nothing illegal about it. It’s just unseemly. She should be able to do as she pleases, no different to any other awful grifter. It’s not really news. It’s gossip.
As much as they are both (all 3 actually) are horrible people, there’s nothing nefarious in her not grieving how people want her to.
Perhaps she doesn’t care. Perhaps she does, but sees an opportunity and can suck it up. Perhaps she does and she is using work to distract herself. Perhaps she does and it comes out differently. Perhaps she does and shes good at acting like nothing is wrong.
It’s all just a distraction story.
Well, no. Raising awareness has changed sentiment and now they are pulling back. They are scaring voters and their propaganda is failing.
Are you talking about individuals or states at this point? Or varies for each and I agree, outside their borders, for states, it is riskier. However, they are shuffling their hokdings to manage that risk. As are people, which was my point.
I don’t think they messed up by trusting the US. It was safe and stable for a prolonged period. They fucked up by not recognizing the risk once trump term 1 started.
Yes, but some have transferred the bullion to holdings in the uk and Germany. And those countries have too.
A lot is in the USA, but not all. Holding an asset, even in a failed country (which is highly unlikely, by the way) is still a viable asset.
The fact that you think the USA could claim privately held assets as government property is precisely why some people want to hold gold rather than cash in an account which can be seized digitally.
No, but with the dollar there is the dual risk of dumping and printing. Gold is not ties to any nation or political ideology. If your gold is located in a particular country, it is subject to the risk on the ground, of course, but it can be moved or exchanged relatively easily. Some gold has been doing just that as people shuffle their wealth around.
Of the us dollar loses value, the government can " print " more to make their payments. That makes it worth less as it devalues and can lead to hyper inflation. All the while, others may dump dollars devaluing it more.
With gold, of it’s price drops, you can just create more out of thin air. There is a set amount. Gold has inherent value as a rare metal, however most of its value currently is due to it’s scarcity making it a good store of value.
