illegal drinking establishments, where mass shootings are common?

police shut down 12,000 such premises outlets between April and September this year

Why is licensing bars so difficult, and why is there such “anger” over them? Sounds almost like 1930s US prohibition, where organized crime (police???) are intimidating for protection?

It’s genuinely bad, even if entire universe isn’t affected. Shows sloppiness. Headline is too kind for implying this could be “some kind of design upgrade”, instead of FUBAR.

I don’t believe this, because it is too stupid. 2026 demand forecasts for HBM I don’t believe will materialize, as customers can’t pay those crazy RAM prices either, OpenAI can’t pay for all of their promises, demand isn’t high enough for the planned data centers, and power and labour constraints.

I don’t believe it because Micron is a brand that has value premium to it. Even if they just keep charging extortionist prices while HBM demand fantasy remains propagandized, there will eventually be worthwhile consumer demand for RAM, right? Killing the division and firing everyone in it, is Micron saying “making too much money from HBM must forever put all eggs in HBM basket”

You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:

1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a “desktop multiwindow mode”
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.

2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It’s also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.

If you ever stream cable news in the background during business hours. experts will come on to tell you that if the US doesn’t bankrupt itself, then Russia or China wins. The only remaining hope for US economy seems to be to beat China at AI, because it can’t beat it at anything else. So, all the money for military, and AI to help military make Skynet, which will mostly be used to ensure establishment can control/kill Americans who don’t support Skynet for Israel supremacist rule over the US, is simply a continuation of the tautology of “all US money for militarist US establishment control over all of you”, but with more efficient AI.

But, but… surely, the most important AI application of all time, my OpenAI girlfriend, who truly loves me beyond all monetization opportunities, will never be replaced by a hotter newer model.

UBI is not going to win out over soylent green.

Establishment prefers solylent green solution to unneeded slavery for sure. UBI is an obvious winning political platform, even though it does not provide the proponents with maximum political power, the way that bandaids on oligarchist supremacism still allows for supremacism and soylent green to rise as the solution.

Simply, the answer, is to reject establishment politics, including Bernie as controlled opposition proposing nonsense that gets shot down for its stupidity, instead of UBI.

Also, an MIT study released today, said 135m US jobs could be replaced with AI agents.

The only possible customer for committed datacenter projects is the US government. the bailout is just buying all the datacenter time… because if not, China wins. Amazon, despite no congressional appropriations yet, has announced $50B datacenter to supply government customers.

Russia could have video of pee games in a Moscow hotel. Unless Trump blew Bubba in Russia, there’d be no reason for FSB to have been at the party.

4 high level implicated officials fled Ukraine. Thinking is the US exposed the corruption as pre-peace proposal.

Not sure of exact windows comparisons, but 5090 had problems, and I don’t think amd is ahead of nvidia by as much on windows.

It’s hard to pick not a one hit album wonder band, because bands will tend to have a lot of continuity in their sound. But dark side of the moon is both very popular and unique. Yes (Green) album was a bit of a one hit wonder.

Steely Dan and KC Roberts Live Revolution are sounds that were never copied by anyone else. NiN was very unique until copied.

has to pay a per-device licensing fee.

Where I’m confused, is that it would be a perpertual/long term annual license fee per device. It would make sense to have a one time fee per device shipped. That would not affect older models.

I guess what is happening is that manufacturers can stop paying for the capabilities by “downgrading” their driver support, and it affects old and new systems the same when users “update”?

does dell/hp have to pay annual license fees in perpetuity for systems they sell???

Russia giving up claims to frozen assets, with US getting to control them and have 50% of profits from Ukraine privatization is eyebrow raising.

Weird defense pact that is conditional on propaganda of “who attacked first” for defense or abandonment.

Very promissing!!!

The sooner the nazi regime agrees, the better the deal. Zelensky can flee Ukraine like the other recent corruption involved rats.

This is a much better statement than running to Europe to ask them to give all their money to US to keep Ukrainians dying.

This is much worse of a lie because it is directly disprovable. First, Venezuela has no Pacific coast, and about half the boat murders have been in Pacific. Most of the boat murders have been on visibly empty speed boats that would not have the range to reach the US. It does not grow Cocaine, and there is no reason for Columbians to have middle men in Venezuela to ship drugs by boat. CIA operations in Venezuela have been to bribe Narco gangs in last election, and Guaido is/was the one with deep drug connections.

While relations with Columbia and Trump have chilled over boat murders, they participated in immigrant rendition program, and are a CIA approved colonial government. Because of murder criticism, Trump removed drug interdiction assistance to Columbia, while at the same time, that is the only country responsible for any cocaine traffic to US/world.

So, it is pure “win a war theoretically winnable” distraction based on demonic evil ambitions of capturing oil reserves from a government who would naturally be more popular for distributing oil wealth to its people rather than Colonizers. That the world has bigger problems with US than denouncing its demonic evil, means they won’t denounce invasions of Canada or Greenland either.

seems more mature, and external automation oriented. I’m interested in developing voice text editing tools. Don’t really know if what I linked is best suited platform.

If Anthropic can raise another $15B at “just” $300B valuation, then presto whammo, it just gained $150B for shareholders at no cost, while paying its oligarch sponsors double what they put in.

Massive technology breakthrough. Torpedo is just as big. Sad that they are not also providing a cost effective micro SMR power solution as well, though I get that power delivery depends on “wind intake speed”. This is extreme nuclear/missile weapon supremacy, that Russia already had with hypersonics.
