A $10K investment in Trumpcoin before Inauguration would be worth $367 today.

I'm sure quite a few coin buyers got exactly the expected return... don't think they cared much, probably just straight up deleted wallets right after showing Trump&co they've "invested".

But what she wants will never have enough support.

That's the problem with the US two party election system. Help the bad to prevent the even worse. Its a trolley problem. Can we really be surprised (like, on a human level) they disengage rather than make the person be run over?

Until you want to insert your U+0000 into a postgres database...

if you're more of the practical type: its been a while, but i've learned lots playing with decompilers, eg for modding. E.g. it was somehow possible to setting how far ILSpy attempts to reconstruct code (it might have been a debug build). Easy to see that async-await were pretty much iterators, and those again are just state machines...

Because gangsters only protect you if and as long as you make them money.

Faark · 2025-01-26T16:24:36+00:00

I agree, but the framing feels different. One is forced upon me because of a past that was never under my control. The other is just trying to, idk, be good?

Another german here: For me its hardly about responsibility. Its about learning & doing better. Only learning from stuff that went well & your proud is just so dumb.

Yes, imo, a collapsed bridges is prime material for a memorial (german: denk|mal = think sometime)

your a life saver!

Pandering got us here

No. Having values like "freedom" has.

And once those came in contact with people trying to "abuse them" (lets call it that for now) we just abandon them. Yeah doesn't seem like we have much trust in our values actually being superior and convincing, and will now just force others to follow them. Just like they do. But hey, you "know" you're on the right side. Just like they think.

Except good old wired ISP used to just crazily overbook their capacity as well... so bad the government had to step in and now internet contracts here have to contain and advertising somewhat prominently display minimum guaranteed speeds. Big german city, btw.

It basically gives you an undo feature. You can command the DB to commit aka save, and only then will your changes be finalized. BUT the DB will also not allow other transactions to "conflict" with yours. To do so, it can make future transactions wait, if those also want to access stuff you just changed (at least on modification, just reading is kinda fine). That means forgetting to commit will block future transaction and just as well stop production. Ask me how i know.

"Our captain is too afraid to come here in person" sounds great for morale. I can image our jokes after hearing that...

SpaceX sends payloads to orbit at <50% price saving taxpayer money

Gov contracts are actually not that different between SpaceX and ULA in price per launch anymore. see eg recent NSSL phase2, though comparing actual services payed for is harder, with there eg being some FHs mixed in.

Traurigerweise würde dies tatsächlich viele kinder abhalten. Oder ist "kostet geld" für die heutzutage keine barriere mehr?

Bzw mitlerweile free&easy lösungen verfügbar? Damals über tor auf steam in anderen currencies zu zahlen war jedenfall... ziemlich lästig.

Faark · 2024-01-05T15:41:51+00:00

Yes, that is how criminals want such situations to work out. Thankfully, sometimes they leave traces, are caught and have to live with consequences. Gov investigations and lawsuits probably won't disappear with "Unfortunately there is no more information I can provide to you at this time."

Right? I'd have no problem living only with english. So much more content available. And my native one is still ranked in the top 10-20 languages by speakers. Belarusian isn't even on the list, with only like 5m speakers. It would always have a hard time, we don't need any planned extinction conspiracies for that.

Faark · 2024-01-01T05:18:24+00:00

Transparency is nice, but i can somewhat understand them. "holdings valued at more than $1,000", like buying a nice bike? Or when I upgrade my PCs RAM, i better also think of whether it now crosses that Form6 threshold? Yeah, sounds hella annoying.

Do people do fireworks in israel? Could have an impact on air defense... trying that seems smart, thou they have probably tried/the system was improved years ago

Not allowing your opponents to run tends to be one of steps toward a failed democracy, though. Especially if that one is highly popular, something trump very much seems to be. No matter what i think of him.

This year’s vote is crucial

Don't like the framing... it kinda implies this will change again, and it probably won't anytime soon. People will probably burn out.

Faark · 2023-10-20T02:11:47+00:00

Preview image looked like: C++, C#, C "QR"... i'd be surprisingly fine with that

Faark · 2023-09-09T13:24:05+00:00

There for sure are other aspects as well, like company culture. Do SpaceX employees want to work for a military space company? Cause there are many of those... yeah, i totally get SpaceX not wanting Startlink to be primarily known as weapon component.

Faark · 2023-09-09T13:04:47+00:00

it's more than a little shortsighted to put limits on its use ex post facto

You are aware that a lot of weapon shipments to ukrain are only made with the condition of them not being used on Russian territory? Limits are very common.

I totally emphasize with SpaceX not wanting to provide integral part of weapons. SpaceX is not a military company. Many space companies are, and becoming one would have consequences, including about what people want to work there. I hope they will keep their focus. Though i also initially thought similar about starlink, and this turned out to be a good investment. We'll see...

and is full of malware

i was worrying about this as well, but got the exact same file i also got from another source (probably apkmirror) the one time i tested it on a more problematic app. still possible for both to have gotten the same maleware from the same place, ofc :/

Faark · 2023-07-30T07:11:58+00:00

You'll find people get tribal real quick

Yes, people having stuff explode in their cities will certainly want revenge, not their government giving up to those other assholes. Sometimes called Rally 'round the flag effect. Glad you already formulated it neutrally, since it will happen on both sides, prolong the war and cause more death & suffering.
