The issues page for the American Independence Party is hilarious. This is, word for word, their entire party platform from their website: www.aipca.vote/issues

Independent California Voters Care About Real Issues

• EDUCATION
• IMMIGRATION
• PUBLIC SAFETY
• JOBS
• FAMILY
• HOUSING

It’s like this page was written by the Flight of the Concords. youtu.be/EmLHOGT0v4c

That movie was surprisingly weird as shit. Best watched with a pot gummy.

I’d argue that there are a couple of studios that are still mostly focusing on making good content, not click bate.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I think YouTubers like MKBHD are generally playing it straight. Trying to stay on top by getting better and better content.

Although, these people tend to burnout eventually. They have to keep running a faster mile.

Yeah, I’m just saying that some exceptions break through. Some YouTubers make content that is so good that people outside of YouTube consistently share the shit out of it. They don’t need the click bate for the initial boost, they get the boost from sharing off the platform.

as hideous as the Biden administration has been in supporting Israel’s destruction and ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the fact is that a Republican administration would be even worse. We know this because they’ve told us that it would. This is not idle rhetoric; it’s who they are. The terrible reality is that these are our choices for November. If the Democrats remain in power, we may not be able to win much, but we’ll at least be able to challenge them

Exactly. This is the choice. The party that will double down on genocide, or the party with leaders that are increasing pressure for ceasefire.

And one of those parties also wants to ban abortion, institute minority rule, overturn democratic elections, cut food assistance, cut social security, and give tax breaks to wealthy.

It’s Lemmy. People are just reading the title and not the article.

That’s one of many factors.

Lots of people have studied this over the years, many people also attribute this to the GI Bill, the post WWII economic boom, Racism / White Flight, the National Highway Act, and social norms that developed after man Americans grew accustomed to the concept of suburban life.

It’s a complex things that was fueled by war, money, affordable land, cars, big roads, etc.

The USDA literally says the opposite of this. It turns rancid.

But don’t let some rando on the internet be the judge. Cut a stick in half, leave half out, wait a week, then taste.

Something not mentioned in the video.

A second Boeing whistle blower just abruptly died.

IMHO, data centers kind of need to be somewhat close to important population areas in order to ensure low latency.

You need a spot with attainable land, room to scale, close proximity to users, and decent infrastructure for power / connectivity. You can’t actually plop something out in the middle of BFE.

One of those cities is pretty close to Redmond. The other 2 are 2-3 hours away from a major population center. The San Francisco equivalent would be data centers in Sacramento. Not exactly next door, but close enough to ensure that latency isn’t terrible for loading an e-commerce site or something.

Sure, but infrastructure is not just fiber, and there is a lot of stuff in between your long stretches of fiber.

I’m not a sys ops guy, but I can pull from different data centers and see measurable differences

This is a pretty well known phenomenon. That’s why we have cloud data centers located close to major metro areas.

• Under 10 million euros: No CTF during the three year period.
• Between 10 million and 50 million euros: CTF must be paid, but it is capped at one million euros per year for the three year period.
• Beyond 50 million euros: Benefit is no longer available, and the full CTF has to be paid.
• After three years: Developers will pay for each first annual install after the initial one million first annual installs per year.

Whistle blowers getting killed, an authoritarian running for office, new laws targeting lgbtq+ people. The USA is starting to feel a lot like Russia these days.

This is a very common misconception. These vehicles will not have access to the full network. They’ll have access to about a 1/3rd of it.

Telsa’s North American network is over 50k chargers, but these companies are all advertising that they’re going to have access to just over 15k chargers.

Moreover, if you look at Telsa’s network map, they have already defined which charges are all EV, non-Tesla NACS, and Telsa Only. And Telsa only is exactly what it means. No Fords or GMs.
