TL;DR:

They claim that since the US is buying stakes in private companies, the US must be going socialist.

The article mentions that they don’t trust Mr. Trump with owning shares in Intel, but neither do they trust people on the left owning shares in Intel…

This reads more like someone rambling on about the “big boogeyman” rather than a proper article.

To be fair, I only skimmed the article, but that was the general impression I got.

Seems like it would be cheaper to design a new formfactor of the server to enable a simpler assembly by normal industry robots

Isn’t that what having a higher market share means?

Yeah, I saw that as well, the author of the title seemed to equate market share with “being better”, which is a damn shallow way to look at it

At first, try to establish trust that they are human, then when they are accepted, learn from that an implement in new bots.

Once you have a few bots with a decent reputation, you can change it’s instructions to start pushing your agenda.

I remember a documentary about the Queen’s guard, where they mentioned that she did indeed carry small amounts of cash in her purse.

To be fair, an unelected general seizing power from this regime does seem to be the current lesser of two evils.

I have zero intentions to travel to the US until MAGA is ripped out from normal politics.

I am not even on the same continent.

I just wanted to make it clear, that was what you suggested.

So you want a military coup in the US?

I am sad to hear that

IT guy here, I disagree, typing fast isn’t really useful enough to dedicate focus to.

I have never formally learned typing fast, I developed my own version of touch typing as I gamed and typed as I grew up.

I am a decently quick typist when typing normally, but my speed absolutely plummet when I do typing speed tests, I find it increadibly annoying to retype stuff from the screen.

Typing speed in and of itself is fairly meaningless, once you have gone beyond the hunt-and-peck stage.

The F-22 being a disaster, can you elaborate on that? I thought it was a good plane that while it does cost a lot is the most advanced fighter the US has made to date.

Probably

So you’ll end up with a may more passive humanity?

This will probably be impopular, but olease hear me out.

Greed in and of itself is a huge driving force, throwing that away is stupid, channelling it for good is way more smart.

Exessive material greed is evil.

Greed is often related to status as much as it is related to wealth, so what does that mean?

Give people status, rather than pure wealth.

Set up a society where wealth is seen as decadent, but people can gain a lot of status by doing good things.

Embrace naming building, blocks, public facilities, parks and stuff like that after good people, you are a researcher, developing a cure for Aids, you get a medical university named after you, stuff like that.

Embrace one of our most powerful motivational forces, don’t just throw it out.

Never have, never will.

From a purely technical and legal point of view, the concept of a passport and other legally identifying documents should be able to factually identify the person that they are issued to.

This means that they should use accurate and current information that is clearly defined from a standard.

If I were a law enforcement officer in a resonable country, gender at birth is completely irrelevant, the current gender is highly relevant.

This however depends on what standard if used to define a gender in the paperwork, are they talking physical, so trans people would need surgery to have the paperwork changed, or are we talking about another standard?

In any way, this is like using the height of a baby at birth to identify the person at 26.

The medical knowledge exists, gender is no longer permanent, thus data about it can no longer be recorded as an immutable string, as that will introduce problems.

Sorry, that is not an ISO keyboard, the enter key is not only too wide, but also the wrong shape, it should have the extended bit on top, not the bottom.

This looks like the old steelseries keyboard layout they used on their old mechanical keyboards.

Hehe, I was thinking about that as I wrote it…

Here in Sweden, we normally make fun of Norwegians with stupid jokes, and we have one about a Norwegian guy traveling to the UK with his car.

He is driving down the motorway in the UK, listening to the radio when he hears this:

“This is an emergency alert, there is a car driving against the flow of traffic on the A1 just south of Newcastle…”

The Norwegian blurts out (in Norwegian):

“One? There are thousands”

I was sad when I learned that the 2012 Olympic games were going to be held in London, it would have been cool to hold them here in Stockholm, we still have and use the old Olympic venue from 1912, and it would have been a cool theme for the games, “a century of progress” or something.

But eh, I only judge the quality of the games based on the opening ceremony as I don’t watch anything else, and London 2012 was a banger.
