That's what I was wondering, it's 12km at it's widest, so 6 km max from the border. A balloon, a series of drones a spyplane has range, which Israel doesn't need. The same drones that were keeping eyes on the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis could stay in the air longer and use less fuel.
Even then either is going to just show groups of people, you'd need hours of steady footage to even attempt to make deductions. I would've figured it'd be a stream of several drones for 24/7 coverage.
I plugged into ethernet (as wifi w/captive portal does not work for me). I think clearnet worked but I have no interest in that. Egress Tor traffic was blocked and so was VPN. I’m not interested in editing all my scripts and configs to use clearnet, so the library’s internet is useless to me (unless I bother to try a tor...
I'm not surprised. I know people who don't even know what an ethernet cable is. I've worked enough IT to realize that a tangled mess of 6 cables can be as horrifying as a Predator to people. It doesn't help that everything is slowly going to POE, POE+ and even ++ now so it's doubling as power as well. In analog video days I could look at the back of a random device and instantly figure out it's purpose. That's rapidly becoming a rarity. For a worrisome section of the population, plugging in an ethernet cable is the equivalent of building a table or performing a back flip.
And when it comes to hacking, good god nobody knows anything. I remember we had a dozen students in high school (around 2000ish?) get suspended for "hacking" and really it was just that a section of the student body found a network storage location without any password protection and were using it as a flash drive on school grounds. Literally they just suspended anybody who signed their name on the homework assignments stored there.
The real crime was that drive had lunch pins for all the accounts in plain text to run their system, without a password!
You know what really irks me though? Even if we didn't go green. Those 40,000 jobs are going to vanish. Coal doesn't grow like trees. That mine will empty one day and it's going to get shut down without warning, without any severance packages, the company is just going to run. There will even still be coal in the mine, it's just no longer cheap enough to mine it.
Historically, that's how it happens. Even in this day and age the moment a better mine opportunity is found, they're gone. They make the town dependent on them, they use the town in every way they can, they donate to the schools and municipal water supply, and then they vanish without warning leaving the town in the lurch. Happens with copper, happens with gas, happens with silver and it happens with coal.
At least the green movement will give you a date, a head start, and at least an iota of sympathy.
Last I looked into it the risk was moving to an entirely different game engine with Godot. Different features, APIs, capabilities. Godot in particular doesn't port the greatest outside of PC.
Although the article was more about making the first one.
How's he moving tables? He has a truck? How'd he get a truck?
Ok I gotta look into this because I am just curious how dumb this is. I just clicked this because I was genuinely curious.
By week 9 he has an office? EDIT: No he has access to the office in week 1, renting the shared community space costs 40 bucks a month... 40 bucks a month for what you could get from a public library. Also can't help but notice that he's also working there with film crew and editor... which is also probably 40 bucks a head. So he's a poor broke guy who is actually one broke guy and 3 to 6 non broke guys... Like, I've never rented a space like this but this sounds like bullshit.
So, I'm a bit younger than the era you're looking for, but my dad was an alcoholic and I remember as a kid being in the local bar and being juuuust short enough that I was just under the smoke line. I had to breach that line to get up on a bar stool and ask for a kitty cocktail. It always felt like I crossed the border to another world whenever I did.
I think I need to use more force to clear my lungs than my peers, but other than that my lack of athletic ability is mostly self inflicted.
You know I was actually thinking this the other day, I know so much about Egyptian, Roman, civil war, and WWII history entirely from video games... Ceasar 3, Civilization, The Nile, are any of those games still being made? I feel like it's just civilization. Really developer's back then didn't even have a reason to throw in the history stuff but they did, for context and just a love for history.
You know, genuinely I have no idea. Especially because due south my GOD is Iowa completely NOT progressive in any way, shape, or form. If you ever drive through Iowa and start flicking through the radio stations it's terrifying. One radio station saying that "so and so democrat is the antichrist" is one too many but there were several.
Because my first thought would be urbanization, but really Wisconsin and Minnesota population distribution is not that different. It's also not bleed over from Canada because we're both about as connected as the other. Large forests and lakes between us. Prince was genuinely propping up the local music scene a TON before he died but... I don't think a single industry could be responsible for it. (it's a difference though) Then we even elected Jessie Ventura Governor, which... maybe scared other politicians to get in line? I genuinely don't know. I grew up in an incredibly conservative town in Minnesota but at the same time I had enough info to go "some of this sounds like utter bullshit". I remember listening to Joe Soucheray as a kid (even showed up on his radio broadcast at the fair once) it's not like conservatives aren't there, but not in the numbers.
Well the entity system adds an entirely new branch of research, that works separately from workbenches. To make fast progress in the darker research you need mutliple sources of dark research in the form of trapped entities. A LOT can go into the containment of some of these entities, basically making sure you have a room that can actually hold some of this stuff. So from there I actually prefer the research loop to the main method. Not only that it doesn't take AN ENTIRE PAWN'S DAY to actually perform. I haven't caught anything SUPER nasty yet, but I see the pieces that will require a supermax of entity containment. I kinda feel like I could forgo research and move direct into the darker research. Make an army of ghouls.
Honestly I feel like it's definitely bigger than the royalty DLC, and I'm only about five hours in.
With a electoral system like Ranked Choice voting, people would feel safe to vote for whomsoever they wish, as their vote would still be counted even if their preference didn’t win....
I hate the idea of hints. Because A. You then have to make the person your interested in make their own way towards you, and B. Then they have to notice it and then take a risk. I think it's FAR better, to give your crush an opening, serve them a line on a silver platter.
For example:
My wife was interested in me and she opened with:
"Am I too close?" To which I could've replied "nah you're good" or "yes, a bit" without any fuss. but, since I was also interested, I replied.
"Oh nonsense, if anything you're not close enough" which, can easily be dismissed as me being silly, but nope, she's interested. So she responds
'OH really? So how close can I get?"
Like, set up a romantic line. If there's a romantic line to be had. If they're interested, they'll take it.
Genuinely it almost feels like a clone or a mod. Although really overwatch 2 seems to be in such a terrible spot that I wouldn't be surprised if it was purposeful.
No, I think the comic is making you think about the system at large. It's not the anchors that are the problem. Anybody in any position can be where she is.
You could be getting tons of money... not to produce anything or to improve the world, but to maintain power for an upper echelon. It could be a lawyer, it could be an influencer, it could be a pundit, a politician, a programmer, a security guard, a military contractor. There's this idea that a large paycheck is because you deserve it, because you are providing what's needed. In reality a high paycheck can be given to you because you're part of a problem that someone wants you to maintain.
I respect that, but you can still make that known at the polls with write-in, with third party, or just scrawling "fuck all y'all" over the ballot.
Even if it doesn't lead to someone winning, every one of the above does get recorded. Every year mickey mouse gets a fraction of the vote, and lets be real, if Mickey ever got 5% of the vote, every candidate would be announcing their runs at Disney World with the hope they could attract just half that group.
If you do nothing at the polls, everyone will assume you don't care and don't care back.
If you do something at the polls, that doesn't help either party, then the two other parties might actually be incentivized to get your vote doing things you DO care about. You at least show up, so you are someone they should care about.
If for no other reason, it's a record of someone flipping the bird to everyone in power, a small act of defiance that can't make it back to you because voting is anonymous. If you're really that powerless the process should only take 5 minutes because the lines to the polls will be short.
I mean, they definitely won't give a shit if you don't vote. If anything it simplifies their math. If you don't show up if you're mad or sad you sure as hell won't show up if you're glad. So you can be safely ignored.
Biden already gives a shit about ~20% uncommitted in Minnesota, ~10% uncommitted in Michigan in the last primaries. nope, uncommitted didn't win but they're freaking out high ranking Democrats. There are more uncommitted than the percentage he won by in some of these states. They didn't win but now a LOT more politicians are struggling to dismiss Palestine. Hell Pelosi was out and out accusing protestors of being shills for China and Russia last week.
Democrats are currently avoiding college campuses for appearances because they realize how unpopular this war in Gaza is.
showing that there is a voting population that is unhappy carries weight, and it sticks around for years to come. It's a record just like the census.
Perhaps the main use for technology is increasing the amount of inequality society can tolerate without collapse. I can’t fix inequality – that just seems to be what the humans want.
However by investing in surveillance technology, computer vision, and AI I could perhaps help our society to bear unbounded amounts of inequality indefinitely, without collapse. Social collapse is a less-than-zero-sum game, whereas an unequal society is still generally more-than-zero-sum. So I posit that the latter is objectively better.
... Are you suggesting that we increase inequality to make the world better? Like we need an overlord, be it robot or human, and the rest of the population needs to be placated, worked to the bone, and easily replaced?
I gotta assume I am just vastly misunderstanding something in this argument, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. Is it just sarcastic?
I mean, the sad part is that there's really no other place guys and gals mix besides work or school. Once you graduate it's just work that remains. I don't even mean romantically either. I think it's hand in hand with the loneliness epidemic everyone keeps talking about. Where do you meet new people? Women can be so rare in some men's lives that to just say "ask if they like you" almost implies that they should ask every woman which both sides know is not what should be happening.
Ideally you would be mixing with strangers at a pub or something where if you put your foot in your mouth and somebody says no to friendship/partnership you both go your separate ways and no harm no foul, you probably won't even run into each other for days/weeks, but now everything is just shitty.
Clubs are too loud to talk at, so while you might be adjacent to a bunch of new people you won't be with any new people.
Bars work somewhat decent, people are friendly, the counter is where strangers mix. It does require you to imbibe a steady stream of booze though. You'll also have to jump around until you find one that you like. Same thing with smoking areas, smokers are crazy friendly, asking for a light is a great ice breaker. I actually used to carry a lighter just for this reason, and I never even smoked. Still a terrible habit to adopt to get friends though.
Any speed-friending or dating events/sites are just crawling with cringey people (I once went to one and had someone try to sell me a timeshare)
Everything has gone up in price, which sucks because now you go to an event and have a pressure to make it worth the money which just adds to the shittiness of the night.
The most reliable place people hang with strangers is the internet, but even then it's not a conversation. It's letters and pen pals.
Way too many people just have work left to meet people and that's not exactly a great place to pursue a relationship because careers cause way to many tripwires. A foot in the mouth brings in HR. Someone gets promoted and now there's a power dynamic. Yes it's inherently riskier to pursue people there. I think guys complain about it more just because they're more isolated and deal with it more.
I spent a lot of time when I graduated trying to find somewhere where I could find people and I finally landed on the convention scene and even met my wife there, but it took almost 5 years of leaving my house, trial and error, lots of events, and some truly boring expensive nights.
Not sure what the move is here in Michigan in a couple days. Bernie Sanders is my dream candidate. But not an option obviously, so what is the best use of my vote in terms of Game Theory here? Do I vote someone other than Trump on the Republican side of the ticket to make his efforts more difficult? Or vote Uncommitted or...
I mean, it's a primary so you should vote your heart.
I really wouldn't try to game theory a republican vote simply because I don't think there is a single non-trump candidate in the same league as him. Niki Haley couldn't even beat an uncommitted vote so... That Koolaid is getting served whether we like it or not.
As for @Dagwood222 's argument. Trump is always going to say that people are/will be edging away from Trump. Trump is always going to say Biden is corrupt, senile, attacking him purely for political purposes. Right now you get exactly one chance to say how you feel about the current political predicament and 4, 8, 16 years from now people are going to take your vote and try to use it as a statistic for how popular these two absolutely unpopular candidates are.
Don't overthink it. It's just a primary, do what you want. And if Trump wins against Biden in the general, you shrug and say "you warned 'em".
