Yeah you’re just meat and bone to a recruiter. They have monthly quotas and will pull any old shit to hit them, just like any salesman.

I knew guy in boot camp that had a 4 yr degree. The recruiter had convinced him that he should enlist as a medical corpsman to get college money to become a doctor. The bullshit here is that the military will 100% prepay for your medical degree as long as you commit to a commision as an officer in the military as a doctor afterwards.

This was in the initial “intake” part of boot camp, so I dont know how it ended up for him, but the drill sergeants, who were not kind during the rest of the experience, were absolutely incensed at what happened to him. They were absolutely livid. Hopefully someone got him into the officer path that was available to enlisted and got him out of there, but some recruiter likely fucked over years of this guys life just to hit a qouta.

No. The hardest math is some insanely light algebra too. X = 5y kind of stuff.

It still opens the door to enlistment and being harassed to join the military, conning poor kids into making a mistake.

At the same time, a lot of the most famous YouTubers/etc are also deeply formulaic. They copy the same trends, use the same formats, and post the same kind of videos.

Gaming YouTubers flock to the same game at the same time or just play the ones that get big views like minecraft/etc, cooking youtubers are all doing “viral remakes” or “rate these 45 types of chicken nugget” or “eat the menu” videos/etc.

There are always solid people doing their own thing, but the social media zeitgeist is just recycled, low effort, high engagement garbage, just like netflix.

This sad account just posts negative articles about her and Prince harry, too favorite right wing targets.

Damn straight. Right after a previous rally where 15k showed up.

These rallies are how you organize people. This is exactly what needs to be happening.

UK was a tier 1 supporter of the F-35 project and apparently supply 15% of its parts. Its going to be hard to fuck with them about using them.

Go here and select "net income"

2021 = +27b

2022 = +16.8b

2023 = -7b

2024 = -13b

This hurts them, a lot. Per the article, the EU is buying 1/6th the gas they used to.

That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page at least. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.

I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.

Apple tv has a tailscale client, as does android. Both also have jellyfin clients.

I don’t think roku has either.

Darts and coin flips have been shown to consistently beat human investment advisors, so sure.

Im betting those same darts and coins will also beat the AI advisors too though.

Against me - The ocean.

The intense longing and driving song that is about becoming who you are hits extra hard when you know the singer has now come out as trans and is singing about her true self.

Brave’s got Peter thiel as a backer, and hes not above funding a spite lawsuit i.e hulk hogan vs gawker. I was rooting for basically no one in the above mind you, but he did bankroll hogan.

There’s a chance.

Bookshop.org link also. With the above the money goes to local bookstores.

Bookshop.org puts this mission and the public good above financial interests, giving over 80% of our profit margin to independent bookstores. In total, we support over 1900+ stores.

SpaceX isn’t an Uber model, its a goverment leech model. It’s had heavily, heavily goverment subsidies to the tune of 18 billion dollars over its 10yr lifetime.

Terminal prices are likely just an economy of scale issue. Much cheaper per unit to make 100,000 than 1,000. Im sure as eutelsat grows the prices will come down.

If Eutelsat and the EU rocket program get 18 billion in goverment investment like SpaceX, im betting they can also accelerate all of the above.

SpaceX doesnt have a moat, it just has the lead. Rocket labs in new Zealand is already hot on their tails. No reason the EU cant join or surpass them.

Everyone is confused because at no point has the US confirmed Russia has agreed to the same ceasefire.

A ceasefire which only party has agreed to is not a ceasefire. Calling it one over and over and maybe aid dependent on it makes no sense.

Not if you bought in at 100% or 200% or 300% when it was also in the news. You will still have made tons and tons of money.

The real positive for the company and maybe the world is if they issue some new stock now and get a nice war chest of cash so they can expand their network rapidly. That will hurt the investors above, but hopefully they take gains now when it’s fruitful or in the farther future when the company dramatically increases its market share.

No, it just vertical integration. You need to send up rockets to make money, so you make sure they never have an empty slot on them by filling it yourself. You get enough satellites up, then you have a revenue generating payload you can send up steady from then on.

That dude was a special kind of stupid. The attack script had his name on it, usee his account status as the trigger, and was running from his laptop. It attacked other peoples profiles and was extremely explicit in being designed to revenge his firing.

There are for sure idiots in infosec, but when your job is working to close holes and gaps, it gets pretty easy to learn what to “forget” about if you want to cause devastation in a deniable way. There are so, so many ways to fuck this job up, doing it on purpose would be a cake walk.

Looks like we are on the same page, but just talking past each other.

That’s what a black box is, but colloquially, it’s also a way to call something “unknowable” or “magic.”

I thought you were referring to it as the latter, not the former.

I think the point is that we designed the black boxes to do X and they do X consistently, just with slight variation.

If I make a cake making machine and it consistently makes cakes, its not a magic box just because I’m not sure if it will be creme frosted or not.
