  • China invokes anti-sanctions law to counter US blacklisting of refiners

    Jump

  • If the wave of a magic wand resulted in the best win/win outcome possible, what would it look like?

    America keeps spending on military and forces some kind of structure around the world, Chinese keeps making bank off trade, but not too much bank?

    I don't know any more. US involvement around the world isn't all bad or all good. I dont think the Chinese have any desire to be morality police in any way unless it's economically beneficial including on topics like child labor, usury, hell, possibly even slavery. The us easily offset rogue nations for decades with it's alliances but those are all crashing. Hell, I don't know what up or down any more.

  • Please Rockstar and Take-Two, push GTA 6's price up to $80 for the good of "the entire industry", Bank of America beg

    Jump

  • Is there any insider info on the micro transactions we're gonna see in GTA6 online?

    The shark cards thing was a freaking racket for Rockstar so there's no way we don't see that again.

    At certain points it was not fun to play online if you didn't have certain assets because you'd get spawn raped over and over by punks who obviously had too much grinding time or too much cash to burn.

    I'd have no problem dropping $80 if that was under control and I could expect a fun balanced experience even if I can play just a couple times a week.

    If it's going to be pay to win, better make it a free client with an unlockable story mode or something.

  • u.s. debt is larger then the entire u.s. economy

    Jump

  • When you're borrowing money to service the debt, things can get spicy

  • Meta lost 20 million users last quarter. First drop in daily active users since it started tracking the numbers in 2019

  • Craigslist, or Facebook marketplace?

  • Anna's Archive Loses $322 Million Spotify Piracy Case Without a Fight;In addition to the penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain names

    Jump

  • A default judgement just gives Spotify some leverage to try to collect money, property, and get injunctions. But as we know from the pirate bay cases, that's a losing whack-a-mole battle long term.

    But it does make life a bit harder for Anna's archive unless they show up to fight back, which they probably won't.

  • 'It doesn’t catch fire': Why China’s "fireproof" sodium battery could be the breakthrough that makes EVs safer than ICE cars

    Jump

  • ICE engines use a bunch of physical space for accessory components related to the engine. Li-ion powered e-cars reclaimed a ton of that space (i.e. Tesla has a frunk)

    Perhaps next using a bit more space for a less dense sodium battery in exchange for a vehicle that is 0% explodable is a worthy trade (if claims are true).

  • Plans to remove ipv4 from the linux kernel.

    Jump

  • Isn't like 50% of the internet broken for you if you're only running IPv6? It seems like so many websites , especially small ones, still aren't setting up v6 addresses

  • White House ballroom project to include ‘massive’ military complex a.k.a. a Hitler bunker

    Jump

  • Europe Is Breaking Up With Visa and Mastercard — and It’s a $24 Trillion Problem

    Jump

  • It saddens me that crypto never really became a legit cash replacement. I guess the incumbents are just way too powerful, and Bitcoin kind of got off on the wrong footing.

  • Israeli bomb mid-air as it falls toward a densely packed tent camp for displaced Palestinians

    Jump

  • There is intrinsic value in the truth, I think.

    If OP posts a photoshopped picture, that tells us something about OP. If the picture is real, that tells us something about an event of this war.

    When we know the truth, we can better decide who to listen to. When we can better decide who to listen to, we have more opportunity to sway the opinions of those around us towards the truth.

  • YSK: The US massacred hundreds & raped children as young as 12 in one day. Only one perpetrator was convicted and only received three years of house arrest

    Jump

  • I suppose many of the perpetrators who were there are still alive today. I wonder if they sleep soundly in bed at night.

  • I prompt injected my CONTRIBUTING.md – 50% of PRs are bots

    Jump

  • Not all bad. Git is an incredible system for collaboration and humans have been honing it to improve quality and share work across teams for decades now.

    Allowing bots to play a carefully defined role is probably going to end up being a net improvement but there are still kinks.

    Masquerading as a human needs to be fixed though - I can see why it's happening and that's one of the first problems to solve.

  • Hegseth's Pastor Calls For God To Kill James Talarico

    Jump

  • Not so sure.. when I read the Bible God's killing people right and left, sometimes out of vengeance, anger, spite, and more. If anything the Satan guy seems heck of a lot more chill.

  • AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming

    Jump

  • When I entered the workforce in the late '90s, people were still saying this about putting PCs on every employee's desk. This was at a really profitable company. The argument was they already had telephones, pen and paper. If someone needed to write something down, they had secretaries for that who had typewriters. They had dictating machines. And Xerox machines.

    And the truth was, most of the higher level employees were surely still more profitable on the phone with a client than they were sitting there pecking away at a keyboard.

    Then, just a handful of years later, not only would the company have been toast had it not pushed ahead, but was also deploying BlackBerry devices with email, deploying laptops with remote access capabilities to most staff, and handheld PDAs (Palm pilots) to many others.

    Looking at the history of all of this, sometimes we don't know what exactly will happen with newish tech, or exactly how it will be used. But it's true that the companies that don't keep up often fall hopelessly behind.

  • Woman who wrote children's book about grief found guilty of murdering husband

    Jump

  • The psychology of this case, and other cases like it, is really baffling. The article didn't go into much detail except mentioning the prior attempt, the millions of dollars of life insurance, and her cover story about him being addicted to opioids.

    When investigators found those details the picture must have became clear.

    What causes one person in a long-term relationship to off the other one? Why not just, you know, do what everyone else does and divorce? I'm sure being a divorcee sucks but it can't be as bad as a convicted aggravated murderer who will live life behind bars

  • I understand where you're coming from, but of course the Linux I want to use is not a business with a centralized marketing department vying for market share. It's something that I can customize and make into whatever I want it to be.

    I think that's why many people want to use Linux - they're not pigeonholed into decisions made to gain market share, they're free to choose whatever works well for them.

    Paradoxically, 20 plus years ago people chose PCs and Microsoft over Apple for much of the same reason. We could select our own hardware from any manufacturer, easily run our own executables and develop code in any direction desired.

  • Tennessee grandmother wrongly jailed for six months, latest victim of AI-driven misidentification — facial recognition is jailing the wrong people, but police keep using it anyway.

    Jump

  • I thought filing egregiously inaccurate documents with the court was risking contempt of court (in the best of cases).

    Ignoring the court itself, I'd think for a prosecutor or cop this would lead to pretty bad performance reviews.

    But if the system has no standards...

  • ‘Pokémon Go’ players have been unknowingly training delivery robots

    Jump

  • I don't automatically have a negative opinion about this, I would need more information before that. Did the terms of service allow for this?

    It's a fascinating case study on crowdsourcing data that is useful to this navigation technology, and reminds me of the first captchas that helped train OCR engines.
