Unfortunately, the gambling industry is going to have a much wealthier and more powerful lobby than any effort to displace it.

> 30 years for that seems harsh though I anticipate they will be pardoned by the next Democratic Party President.

I really doubt it.

Thank goodness. I can’t leave my laptop for a second unattended because my cat loves nothing more than to dance on the keyboard. I’ve need something like this.

Well, when your stock is massively overpriced it's a smart time to buy stuff with it.

It’s a great way to regulate if you’re corrupt. When the rules are opaque and arbitrary, there’s a lot more room for corruption.

Different people need a different number of steps inbetween. I know for myself, I'll just end up disabling the battery saver mode.

> "[broaden the] participation of underrepresented groups". [1] As if seeking out the best of the best to collaborate with... was somehow undesirable.

Are those mutually exclusive? I know that's a common argument, but it doesn't track to me. Finding the diamonds in the rough in underrepresented groups is part of finding the best of the best to collaborate with.

I just gave mine its own VPS. Maybe more expensive than Nix but it was very easy

Wait... how could that have helped? It's a toxic material under pressure so why would we want to vent it further?

Ha, I built the exact same thing, except using ClickUp for all the task management.

Having agents on kanban is really a level-up in terms of what you can do and how you can organize.

I don't know about roofing, but for wall solar there is Solablock (https://www.solablock.com/), which makes solar-embedded masonry. Much better thermal profile and cheaper overall installation costs.

Haven’t used Windows in a while, but I remember hating the seemingly completely random “restarting in 5 minutes for a system update.” Usually at the least-opportune time

Linux friction is “unpredictable” but windows friction isn’t, because you have a lot of windows experience and not much in Linux. I don’t think you’d feel the same after a few months of Linux.

I was shocked that none of my cards worked for lots of stuff in the Netherlands. They also have their own system.

What claim? I didn't make any of that sort

I don't see how that changes my point at all.

edit: to clarify for you, here's an example.

Model A advocates for single-payer healthcare, while Model B prefers for the current US healthcare system. So on that one axis, A is more progressive than B. Neither of them needs to be racist for that calculation.

There is a lot of daylight in between “progressive” and “openly explicitly racist”

No reason to--no one will hit. You have much much much chance at guessing a random number that solves the next bitcoin block and mining the old fashioned way.

It's not that hard to get a temporary residence permit somewhere in the EU if you're well-employed. Every country has its own rules and some are more lax than others, but there are plenty of e.g. "tech worker" visas you can get. You often don't need a job to officially sponsor you.

I moved to Berlin a few years ago. Anecdotally, my friends and family back home are jealous.
