Like you said in the second part: people don't want to know anymore and just want to watch "game shows". No one is forbidding anything like in the other books. Doom scrolling is peak Fahrenheit.

This one is so good. Original puzzles, works fine on mobile. Very future proof.

My favorite is pearl.

Sounds like the user could just ammend the software to his need with the LLM, but instead of sending that update to the maintainer with a pull request, just keep it to himself, to the users version.

I'm mostly bewildered that the Dutch government was ok with that, and it took way too much effort from the opposition to get them to pivot on this.

Hasn't big capital always owned technology? I don't understand what is the question here. Is this rethorical?

Silicon valley owns the internet. The robber barons owned the railways. Big oil. Big pharma. The investment company owned the (slave) trading fleets. The lords owned the agriculture. The clergy owned the books. The Kings owned the armies.

Technology accumulates capital, capital accumulates technology.

You can genuinely care in one moment and forget about them five minutes later, that's ok. Part of making conversation is also stopping the conversation when you are done, not letting it bleed out. My favorite is: "I really enjoyed this conversation, now I'm going to read my book".

I find it nice to connect to strangers in real life, if only for a moment. It can be about something silly as sharing a very bright bird you see while waiting for the bus. It can be giving two dollars to the woman in front of you at the grocery store, cause she's short.

Also, having this connection with people when it is about nothing (small talk) helps build communication skills you need when it is about something.

I genuinely hope you will get answers on your question, maybe even in this thread. But I'll also forget about it in two minutes.

My fan broke after five? years of near 24/7 use. Customer support was very easy to reach. They sent me a new one after I sent some serial numbers as proof. They asked me then to break off a blade, and a picture of it so I didn't have to sent it back.

A lot of people buy new phones only because their battery doesn't get through the day anymore.

Very ironic, you almost got it, post.

Prague national History Museum has an amazing collection of these. Truly a hidden gem.

Yeah but only in the heart shaped circles. The middle of the hearts are the classic circle of fifths. In this circle they show where the half steps in the scales are.

It doesn't matter if she's as bad as the others. The message is that the others are bad. Pointing out that she's also bad is meek at best.

I heard the same about the number and location of French nuclear war heads, or their exact red lines. If you tell the enemy your limit they're gonna sit exactly on it.

Because there was no off ramp. War economy never has. It looks great while it's going though.

Year Military Spending (billions of RM) % of GDP

1933 0.7 1.0%

1934 4.0 5.1%

1935 5.5 7.0%

1936 10.3 12.2%

1937 11.5 12.7%

1938 17.2 17.2%

1939 38.0 23.0%

Did they build their military to go to war? Or were they force to go to war as the nature of their economy forced them?

They're better at selling ideas than having fleshed out ideas. One could say they sell before they build.
