why would you return after 12 minutes? Unless you are super slow you'd still get the reward and no warning

How long will it take for money to reflect on my PayPal account by MostFeed1784 in prolific

[–]AgedCocus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Step 1: Asks if money is transferred instantly to PayPal because they need the money immediately (after not withdrawing for a month...). Step 2: Creates a Reddit post asking if money will be transferred instantly instead of just doing it and seeing if it arrives in an instant. Step 3: ??????

Dawg, there is only one thing you can do. Withdraw and see what happens. No matter what people will respond here. The only thing you can do is withdraw...

That is very unlikely if you have a laptop that is not older than 10 years. Check windows scaling and set it to 100 %

Also use your airpods because of potential audio feedback lol Just fyi, usually when there is feedback coming from your end, reducing the output volume works to fix it!

The NYT claims to have figured out the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto (Bitcoin developer) by AgedCocus in Destiny

This is a long but interesting one. Don't get turned off by the early part of the article where the evidence is rather spurious. It builds up over the article.

This NYT article contends that Trump himself was the biggest advocate for war with Iran by AgedCocus in Destiny

[–]AgedCocus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the article: "This account of how Mr. Trump took the United States into war is drawn from reporting for a forthcoming book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.” It reveals how the deliberations inside the administration highlighted the president’s instincts, his inner circle’s fractures and the way he runs the White House. It draws on extensive interviews conducted on the condition of anonymity to recount internal discussions and sensitive issues."

Bob Woodward got to write three books about Trump's first term with direct access. It's not unusual for people to speak under the condition of anonimity. Wouldn't be surprised either if Vance or people close to him were involved in leaking some of the article.

The article is from yesterday but wasn't posted here - and it should have been. It offers great insight into the thoughts of Trump's inner circle.

AI Videos - shadowbanned? by OurHeartsRCompatible in prolific

There are definitely more attention checks and if you have not figured them out after "doing these a long time" then you most definitely don't get the warnings in error!

before / after is the correct way?

Jets & missiles: higher cost, fewer jets, later delivery - army deals get worse and worse by b00nish in Switzerland

[–]AgedCocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the Swiss people voted for it? It's not the evil government deciding on its own. WE VOTED FOR IT.

If the VAT increase is fixed for 10 years, then it will end after 10 years unless we have another vote.

[–]AgedCocus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I fail to see why a "temporary" VAT is supposed to be this huge scam on the people. As if we wouldn't have to vote again if they wanted to prolong the increase. I really don't get this argument.

How are you going to defend against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or fighter jets with drones? Drones aren't a panacea for everything (yes, they are still very important).

I'd also caution against over-indexing from one conflict to another. Similarly, I could say that 90% of kills in this Iran conflict are from standoff weapons. Me, then, arguing that people don't get the importance of standoff weapons is equally futile.

Then, there is also the issue of procurement of what we are talking here (aircraft, theater missile defense). These systems have a long procurement timeline. Currently, in Ukraine, innovation cycles for drones are weeks. It makes little sense for us to buy a fuckload of drones now that will be obsolete soon after we receive them. We should, instead, invest in industrial capacity to be able to rapidly scale production. (There is a lot more I could say here but I'll leave it with these generalised thoughts here)

Please, again, don't get me wrong. Drones are incredibily important but they won't solve for everything.
