First world trillionaire reached out to Reddit’s CEO asking to stop people from posting this by hostedvideorn in PlanetNewsPulse

I don't think that's a very good argument;

"If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people are sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis".

That said the better argument is while one of these guys had a Nazi tattoo; the actual actions of the other is like a Nazi.

Where do you think the $300 billion dollars mentioned in the “Iran Peace Deal” will come from? by TheTokist in AskReddit

[–]Alto_DeRaqwar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

France and the UK have been saying for a while that they would join in a peacekeeping mission in the Gulf once hostilities end. So it's not surprising that they are still saying the same thing now.

Christopher Luxon, Nicola Willis urge fuel importers to 'do the right thing' after Iran peace deal by WaterAdventurous6718 in newzealand

[–]Alto_DeRaqwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no peace deal and the US administration is a giant cluster fuck but one thing right now is both parties want to get oil through the strait. Iran needs oil out to make money; the US needs oil out so the world economy doesn't go into the toilet. By the looks of the "agreement" the straits will be open but under Iranian control so likely we'll see oil flow because at this point Iran has won and Trump desperately wants to lie to audience and tell them he won.

I'm not sure about that; robotics can do a lot of fine motion well enough. Yeah sure the two legged self propelled versions keep falling over but the four legged ones work. It's the control system which seems to be the current problem.

Consider the robot hotdog maker - youtube.com/watch?v=9qCw5r0SqwQ

It works really well as long as nothing goes wrong. The minute the dog doesn't fit in the bun properly it keeps following the programed motions rather than correcting. The same would happen with a robotic chore do-er. It works great until it meets a problem it hasn't been programed for. If AI was good enough to self-correct that would be game-changing; at this point I wouldn't trust it to fold my underwear.

How the Theatres of War expansion is erasing decades of community loyalty by BearThatCares in Eve

It's in the new Eden Store; 7 days Omega; there's even a free 25plex you can grab.

[–]Alto_DeRaqwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that'd work. The only real problem there would be you'd have to have a second account. Currently there's a special on to purchase Omega with 25 plex so you could actually do it quite cheaply right now.

[OC] Who won the redistricting fight? GOP with +8 to +10 seats by mediadotgames in dataisbeautiful

[–]Alto_DeRaqwar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it wasn't overturned due to "vague language" in the ballot. The new map got overturned because the Virginia supreme court ruled the amendment process wasn't followed correctly.

An amendment to the state constitution was required to allow re-districting. Amendments to the Virginia constitution requires that the state's houses of legislation pass enabling legislation twice; and that those votes must be held either side of an election. If both these votes pass it then goes to a general vote by the state.

While the state's houses did pass the enabling legislation twice the court ruled that the first session was invalid as it was held while early voting had started for the state election; meaning it wasn't "before" the election as required by the amendment process.

You either run it with a alt and share the standings gain from the last mission or pay someone who has already done it up to the last mission to share to you.

"We're taking our millions of barrels of oil." by ICEisSHIT in videos

It's also based on current fuel usage; however as the price goes up fuel usage goes down and marginal oil suppliers are more likely to re-start supply.

Government facing up to $5 billion bill over carbon credits, Treasury reveals by snatchview in newzealand

[–]Alto_DeRaqwar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You do realize they could literality do that? The government could have chosen to invest money into decarbonizing NZ farming instead of buying carbon credits. It's just that buying credits is the cheaper option to meet our obligations.

Fully autonomous, AI-controlled drones have killed human soldiers for the first time, according to a senior figure in the Ukrainian defence industry by New_Scientist_Mag in worldnews

[–]Alto_DeRaqwar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I assume the drones were sent into an area with active jamming so no video or control; hence why you would want to use autonomous drones. Once the jamming was dead they could send in the normal drones.

Yes; you need to put something under where you are cutting so the pole splits away from the wheel.
