It probably costs 2x as much to make today from when they started planning it just from the ram.

If they had contracts in place though that could insulate them for some number of years.

I… did not know it was that high, and the reason was that stupid.

Wow.

And these are the people who then have children.

I also know one couple who had a kid because neither bothered to check with each other about birth control… no condoms, she wasn’t on it, he didn’t ask, and she got pregnant.

Utterly baffling to me.

Men have to deal with women lying (edit and honest mistakes with forgetting) about being on birth control as well. Women have the physical consequences, but both parties suffer the lifetime consequences of having to care for a child if either lies.

Even if we had a reversable birth control for men that was readily available, I’d be shocked if women just blindly trusted the man that they were on it.

There’s a lot of trust going both ways and I imagine because of that both women and men would want to be on birth control until they trusted their partner sufficiently to make the decision for one or both to stop.

Edit: like I’ve never had a 1 night stand, and even if STDs didn’t exist, I’d never trust that she’s on birth control if she said she was, I’d still use a condom.

Haha ya when I read that helmet comment, my first thought was a helmet would definitely help.

You’re never going to convince everyone to wear a helmet when driving though.

Yes, they’d become a thin client.

The concept isn’t new and happens in the corporate world connecting to the corporate servers to run the software, but he wants that to become the norm.

A chromebook is somewhere between the middle of a regular computer, and what Bezos wants.

You’ve never been looking for an answer to something and it’s on an old reddit post?

How to beat a boss in a game?

Ways to do some sort of home improvement?

Discussion on a product you’re considering that isn’t brand new?

I know the grid in Texas is (was?) separated from the main national grid, and I guess, maybe something like this could eventually lead to a state wide grid that’s disconnected from the main grid, and maybe that’s very much the long term intention and a real problem.

It would take awhile to manifest as a big issue though as at least the blurb indicates it has to be for newly built power plants and new loads.

If a data center wants to build their own offgrid power system though I don’t see the harm in that? In the future they might very well be building SMR’s to power only their facility.

I think it should all still be overseen by whatever existing regulations there are and kept to the same standards though. And maybe some rules about connecting them to other purpose built ones under this same grouping?

Like, Apple builds one, and then Google builds one. Google and Apple can’t join together.

Maybe even limit it to some strict commercial type use, so Google can’t be doing this to power a google city where residents live.

Edits: Clarity and thoughts along those lines.

Edit: Oh and it should be mandated to be green energy.

The idea and motive and intention is great. The (edit: eventual) outcome is always evil.

I like to think if I was in a position to be working with data like that, that I could ‘accidentally’ forget to redact it one time and trigger a leak like this.

They publicly released that data at that point though through their own failures, fuck Flock for trying to suppress it.

That’s really sad.

I’ve used AI to help clean up my sentence structure for copy, but if I am not super explicit with it to not rewrite what I wrote, it will do as you said and take the human element out of it.

I asked a question like 8 years ago, and people are still replying with new answers either due to new APIs or tooling, and for some reason just alternative ways that already existed for years.

Yes that can be done.

Hopefully they’re just setting that up and in the meantime did this.

I would have bought it for that purpose if it was available.

I’m really loving this new Microslop name.

Also… looks like someone bought www.microslop.com and redirected to their own site: https://www.philipncohen.com/

So, potato chips.

A standard bag nowadays is under 200g, like 198g and that’s “normal”

Some are 235g, the last hold outs on the road to 200g or less.

I watched as the sizes shrank and shrank and shrank down to what they are today while prices stayed the same or went up.

Now, the old sized regular bags are called family bags, and im pretty sure they’re actually less than the old standard bags at that.

Not sure what the rules are where you are, but one way is to check the menu for calories if they need to be listed.

Then you can tell exactly what the size difference is between a small, medium and large, assuming they aren’t lying about the calories, and that they actually fill it to the proper size listed per the calories.

Ah, well I’m pretty sure you get get more lives if you played a bit longer, but you gotta really be enjoying it while struggling at the same time.

Now we just need those inertial dampeners!

True, but also I could only beat the last boss with the shield weapon for a very long time.
