machinin,

I met an interesting Argentinian girl through ICQ. A co-worker ended up getting their inbox filled with large attachments from an overseas office with fast internet. We were still on dial-up. We just had pop3 access, no online front end. I stayed in the office over night to download the files so the connection wouldn’t be interrupted by someone else accessing the line. To pass the time, I downloaded ICQ and started chatting with the Argentinian girl. She introduced me to this song.

Great memories.

machinin,

I volunteered at the occupy wall street camp in New York. Fun times.

Any way to power the drives if you don’t have any more free power cables? Just have to buy a new PSU?

machinin,

Thanks, bought one!

machinin,

It seems like your game defense also works for guns and Facebook?

Things are rarely 100% causative. In all these cases, I think we have to ask if the trigger allows/pushes some percentage to an action. Then, is that percentage and action significant enough to act on. It’s the same way we deal with medicines and carcinogens.

machinin,

I don’t understand how your post refutes my argument. OP said millions play games, so if only one person screws up among those millions, it can’t be the games fault. The argument can just as well be applied to Facebook and guns. Only a small fraction of those users become mass shooters.

I’m not saying there isn’t a problem with guns. I think America is mentally ill in it’s relationship with guns.

In response to your comment, if Activision was found to be taking money from the gun or military industry to market weapons through their games, do you think they should be partially liable? If I understand the lawsuit correctly, that is what this case is about.

When your compensation is based on profit per car, you make strange decisions like removing winker stalks and quality control.

machinin,

Some even demand that you don’t seek employment (so they can exploit your unpaid labor indefinitely).

I’m gonna’ need a citation for that one.

machinin,

Thanks!

These cases aren’t do/don’t. This ruling will likely give more weight to any government parties considering sanctions or other strategies.

I also hate that we don’t have any way to stop genocides from happening, but currently sanctions and trade pressure are currently our most effective/efficient strategies. Hopefully this ruling will be one more bit of pressure, in addition to other pressures, that will provide a path to a longer term solution.

machinin,

I think it could certainly add weight to any future process to bring these leaders to justice. It will be more difficult to use the “we didn’t know” defense.

machinin,

Just saw this in another video. Very interesting…

This is what I think should be changed to “Discard.”

machinin,

I think that would have the same problem of cancel for the first button and a different name for the desired function on the next screen.

Cancel (delete) -> Cancel (cancel deleting) / Confirm (confirm deleting)

My suggestion is

Discard (delete) -> discard (delete) / Cancel (cancel deleting)

machinin,

Fuck Biden.

Fuck Blicken.

I hope you both suffer like the Palestinians are suffering.

machinin,

What would it cost him to cancel the genocide too, right?

…wikipedia.org/…/Hallucination_(artificial_intell…

The term “hallucinations” originally came from computer researchers working with image producing AI systems. I think you might be hallucinating yourself 😉

machinin,

You don’t remember Musk talking about biohazard mode? If you aren’t a nerdy user that tries to understand all the details, it might be easy to confuse.

machinin,

What is the current status of the Russian naval fleet in the Black Sea? How many more valuable targets are left?

I’m also of the opinion that Ukraine could set up a small team to hit naval targets in other parts of the world. A small team with the naval drones they’ve been using could do significant damage.

machinin,

It’s a good start!

machinin,

The solar/battery stuff was just him saving an almost bankrupt company his cousins had. SpaceX and Tesla had both invested in the company, and he would have lost the money and like faced regulatory scrutiny had it went under.

Hyperloop was his effort to disrupt California’s high-speed rail plans.

I guess it is an old argument. How willing are we, as a society, to protect people from being taken advantage of by cons. Musk had been extremely resilient for a con man. Probably because he mainly goes after relatively poor people.

Musk’s companies aren’t the only ones making breakthroughs in their respective fields. The only difference between Musk companies and others is that Musk just didn’t care about safety, so his companies cut corners to make people think they are ahead. Other companies who are more responsible aren’t willing to cut those corners for ethical reasons.

machinin,

There are better options. Musk is just the one that doesn’t care about safety.

machinin,

It’s so unfortunate the Xiaomi is practically removing the ability to install roms on your phone. The hardware is usually decent, but the software is always horrible. I probably won’t buy from them again.
