I wonder if we're going to see a different spin on dieselgate in the future. Where a car company collects all the data from the NHTSA's test environment through the cars cameras/sensors and then includes that data into the training datasets for other cars/sfw updates. (I'm not implying that this happened, but I imagine it would at some point)

I would recommend reading Extreme Privacy by Michael Bazzell if these types of thing concern you. A relevant passage:

"First, I would never provide my home address on any application or W-9 form. This should only be your PO Box, UPS Box, or PMB address. Your employer likely does not care much about where you live, unless the job has residency requirements, such as a police officer. The IRS does not object to the use of a mail box address. They just want their money."

You can concoct these make believe hypotheticals, or you can look at countries where this is the reality (South Korea; high elderly poverty), and how there is no "elderly employee accident crisis". Whether it is right, moral, just etc. is the issue. I would just say to not wait until retirement to "live your life".

I agree, but struggle to find fiction books to read. Most of my reading just consists of a historical period / event that I find interesting and read more about. From that I sometimes come across an "alternate history" type fiction book, but not much else. What do you do for discovery?

Does anybody know how that would work? I know of the 3 ways of measuring GDP in econ basics (All income, All expenditure, All value add). I assume they only use one method and just pull out government? I assume it's expenditure method, but what would it mean for income method. Ignore incomes of gov employees? But then what about contractors. At what point do we start to view the number shifting as untrustworthy like China and Russia.

Regarding the going through courts part of this. It seems like they would have free choice in choosing where to sue from. cough 5th circuit cough With little effort from large stake holders they would be able to turn that check into a rubber stamp.

As an aside, I wonder if it would be possible to force a randomization of the court that would hear a case (for cases that are not bound to a location).

I haven't touched Wayland because of a lack of window control tools, but don't know if the landscape has changed. Specifically to replace autokey, xdotool, wmctrl. I know kdotool exists for kde only which would cover most of xdotool, but I don't know about text expansion (autokey). Isn't most of Wayland's keybindings just remapping and not macros? I've written my own code to read dev files with elevated permissions so I think I'm fine with macros, but that might be too much work for other people. Would appreciate some Wayland users experience.

Kagi Translate 2 years ago

I asked some inappropriate things and it was "translated" to I cannot assist with that request. It definitely needs to be more clear when it's refusing to translate. But, then again, I don't even use kagi.
