Foreign propaganda is much easier to spot. It is the domestic propaganda that was legalized in the 2012 Smith-Mundt Modernization act that concerns me.

The entire premise is based around the idea that one still has to appear busy or has a desire to demonstrate something that will justify a raise.

What region?

Something I’ve noticed people do more of recently for whatever reason is talking over others.

I've noticed this as well and I posit this is a result of increased use of remote communication and meetings platforms such as zoom since 2020.

My inclination is that the behavior will not correlate with interrupting chatgpt or siri. Seems totally separate to me.

And all networking configuration and everything else is transferred with close to zero effort?

I suspect that when AT&T built all the COs (1950-70s) they were constrained by both max number of lines and physical distance.

You’ll see numerous COs in a big city, but they are also pretty widely dispersed throughout the suburbs and rural areas.

Anecdotally, this seems to be much less prevalent in the US due to cultural differences. I live in Chicago and their is a 7 cent surcharge for bags. I'd say 1/3 of people actually bring their own even after this has been in place for years.

The other is that Chinese workers are 30% (or 2X?) more efficient than American workers.

What metrics is this based on?

Yeah, now that I think about it, I never see any screenshots on reddit either. I see tons from twitter.

This may be a dumb question, but wouldn't one only see that content if they engage with it or follow people who engage with it?

Who is downloading threads? Haven't read or heard any talk on it in months. To be fair, I am far removed from the meta ecosystem.

Space, CPU cycles, attention. So much waste

This is one of those posts that reminds me why I love this site so much.

Prices haven't come down though.

I don't understand why this law wouldn't apply to doordash and uber eats as well.

Try googling "What is the fifth book in the wheel of time series" and see what you get? All spam.

Google gave the correct answer. Didn't see any spam.

I've starting using rclone over rsync for this application. Rclone can do segmented transfers and handles large numbers of files better, at least in my experience.

Same problem we've had with antibiotics.

I suspect the much more impactful driver of antibiotic resistance would be the antibiotics feed to live stock in mass.

I agree that the fixation on cars in urban/population dense areas is a problem and the overall use of cars in these areas should be offset by public transportation.

I feel like the one in five Americans that live in rural areas is left out of the conversation though. You can't eliminate cars for those 60 million or so people.

If there is one national resource that should be publicly owned in the United States it is water. There is a place for distributers, but water should be controlled by the public and used in its best interest.

Good point. Its fine if I'm the only one using the network, but I'll admit it can take a bit before I connect the dots between pi-hole and "this link I'm clicking off google won't load".

How long will it take to get one? Three years?

Maybe the were referring to the F-150 Lightning, which is similar weight to the Cybertruck.

Unfortunately, Bernie talks the talk, but has failed to walk the walk in recent years. For example, congress was within one vote from passing a law that would require warrants for surveillance and missed it because Sanders wasn't there to vote.

The Senate on Thursday took up a key bill to reauthorize domestic surveillance programs while making changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, with several substantial amendments on the line. One of the amendments, introduced by Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden and Republican Sen. Steve Daines, would have required authorities to obtain a warrant to access internet users’ search histories and browsing information. Uh, yes, pass that??

The amendment, however, met an extremely Senate grave: It “failed” with 59 yeas to 37 nays, one short of the 60-vote threshold it needed to overcome the streamlined vestigial filibuster. The splits didn’t fall neatly along partisan lines: 24 Republicans voted for it, while 10 Democrats voted against it. (Would you like to see the names of the Democrats who voted against it? Their names are: Tom Carper, Bob Casey, Dianne Feinstein, Maggie Hassan, Doug Jones, Tim Kaine, Joe Manchin, Jeanne Shaheen, Mark Warner, and Sheldon Whitehouse.)

I suspect it is caused by the numerous models with a faulty engine, like my 2010 Forester.

It does not weigh 8000 to 10000 pounds. It is listed between 6500 and 7000.

Your link lists 6 trucks that are heavier than the 6,670 Ibs two motor version of the cybertruck.

...what does the number actually mean in practice?

Seemingly very little:

We study 20 trouble areas, from nuisances—such as squeaky brakes and broken interior trim—to major bummers, such as potentially expensive out-of-warranty engine, transmission, EV battery, and EV charging problems. We use that information to give reliability ratings for every major mainstream model.

We weigh the severity of each type of problem to create a predicted reliability score for each vehicle, from 1 to 100. We use that information to give reliability ratings for every major mainstream vehicle. (The reliability rating is then combined with data collected from our track testing, as well as our owner satisfaction survey results and safety data, to calculate each test vehicle’s Overall Score.)

No more or less than any other vehicle of similar weight.

Can I use this to run fig? (fig.io)
