What do you recommend? Genuine question. I tried hosting my own email and eventually its just... It's too much. Like everything rejects you out of hand because your email servers aren't known. I could do more research and maybe figure that hurdle out but there does end up being an upper bar of effort.
I tried proton mail, but it's not great. How is Yahoo or other large email providers?
Right, I recall news from years ago where a bunch of celebrities' very private photos backed up to iCloud were leaked. They may or may not have known they uploaded those to iCloud, I dunno. But imagine what's up there if you don't realize you're doing a backup. Not just photos, but like scanned documents with vulnerable information. And all that personal info in a centralized server is a big ol honeypot for a malicious actor.
It's not hard to see why this is a vulnerability, is what I'm getting at.
The affect of the microwave would fall off exponentially with distance. So like if it has X power at Y feet away, and you go out to 2Y feet away, the affect would be quartered. The affect on a drone isn't going to do much, even if it really messes with your wifi close up.
I would question the efficiency claim. Uber and the like claimed incredible market dominance, driving local food delivery and taxi services out of business. They're only now really being forced to find profitability.
I wonder if AI is going to be similar. The powerful models right now, as I understand it, have ludicrous power requirements. I don't know their balance sheets, but in the current race to market share, I'm skeptical that most of these services are in the green.
What that ultimately says about the future I don't really know. Like it could be we reach some point where the models get better, or more specialized, or something and profit arrive. Or maybe theres a point of diminishing returns where the profit just can't be made, and once the hype falls off (and investors stop clamoring for AI) these companies will ask what they're getting for the money spent.
(And of course I could just be straight up wrong about profits today not being there.)
Flavored tobacco was literally marketed to children, to get them addicted to cigarettes from an early age. The "protect the children" arguments are often used to ban things that made no impact or even positive impact in children's lives (DnD, sexual equality). Or it's used to justify surveillance and overreach (porn bans and she verification laws)
These aren't equivalent.
It comes from the case against Henry Ford after he saw his company was making gobs of cash and decided to give some of that to his employees. Shareholders successfully sued him to stop this on the grounds that he has a fiduciary duty to shareholders.

As with anything legal, there is nuance, but the basic assertion that there is fiduciary duty to shareholders is not wrong.
$7, but you a only spend $10 at a time! It ain't gonna be 10 quests or 5 quests. It's gonna be like 3 or six so you'll be left with $9 in coins and feel like you're wasting cash if you don't spend another $10 to buy some other creation club shit.
God I fucking hate the premium currency tactic.
Look if someone's having a bad time, it don't cost much to throw em a bone. Like sure, that last attack killed them a round early because everyone has had a moment to feel proud today but you. Or like the spellcaster who is feeling a bit shitty because every monster has saved against their spells by some fluke today.
Like if they aren't having fun, what am I doing here?
Video games do this shit all the time. Famously the first GoW gave new players a small boost in multiplayer. It led to a community and better engagement in the long run because people had more fun. BG3 has that goofy 'karmic dice' system, which is on by default. Fire emblem lies. etc etc
The fuck? Sorry your here telling us that the American prison system is too soft? And that the treatment of r Uygher minority is justified actually?
It's actually a bad thing that slavery exists. Letting people use slave labor from the prison population creates an economic incentive to imprison innocent people.
Wait what source would you consider Communist outside of relevant state medias?
Why would you say that? Do you think everyone is just really jazzed about death? I think you seem to have missed the point of the outcry.
Ah! I seem to have missed the sublinks-chatter. Good to hear there's an alternative in flight. I assumed after the money-related-tomfoolery that the talks to migrate to a new platform were on hold indefinitely.
