There will be a surge in “nobody wants to work anymore”.

If they have the same mass they weigh the same until you blow up the beach ball and are weighing the beach ball + the air inside.

So a beach ball weights more than a bowling ball?

That’s an embargo.

A blockade is military stopping traffic. “Effectively a blockade” is an embargo.

She cast a provisional ballot, a mechanism specifically designed to check and count a vote only if the voter is determined to be eligible, on the advice of a poll worker, and was sentenced for voter fraud.

As much as I love Tom Scott and it’s a fantastic visual/temporal representation, I doubt a lot of people have the patience.

I like “1 Million seconds is 11 days, 1 Billion seconds is 31 years” as a more succinct example.

One person earning $3600/hr, 24/7, without spending any of it, would take 31 years to become a billionaire.

Fun puzzle game that got ripped off by 2048 and it’s endless clones. They wrote a blog post on how shitty mobile game development can be.

Lack of sales IIRC. They’re very neat but kind of niche because of their non-standard layout, they were aiming to be a keyboard/mouse replacement instead of “just another controller”. Extremely customizable control schemes too.

Would absolutely love a 2.0 one based off the Steam Deck or something.

He bought co-founder status at Paypal too IIRC. He was ousted in part because he wanted to rename it “x.com”. Weird that.

The last US Presidential election decided with more than a 10% margin was Regan. The only vote with above a 5% margin this millennium was Obama’s first term.

“Anything lower than 10% and it probably doesn’t matter much” is a weird take.

That’d be it.

Honestly it’s super interesting to watch even if you know the moon landings happened for the history of tech he talks about.

No, they’re saying regardless of if the signal was encrypted or whatever format it was in, anyone with a directional antenna could triangulate where the signal was coming from. If there were only a repeater on the moon that NASA was transmitting to that was then sending the signal back, that would also have been able to be determined.

Both the Russians, who had a vested interest in embarrassing the US, and every other amateur and professional radio operator on the planet agreed that the moon landing was being transmitted from the moon.

What are you talking about?

This is not about streaming to a laptop or Internet access. This is about a long range, low power, low bandwidth network using 2.4GHz. It’s using 2.4GHz, like everyone else likes to, because it’s the “free” signal band that you don’t have to pay to license. It’s for sending the message “Sprinkler head 1039A is leaking” from a solar panel powered transmitter without having to run a data cable or network repeaters.

It’s competition for Zigbee/Z-Wave/Matter. Not the herald of the ISP crackdown Armageddon.

Geostorm. Fun enough throwaway Gerard Butler movie.

a nightmare of garish bullshit that makes the entire work look like utter dog shit

It’s definitely exploded but content farms were a problem even before 2022. There’s a reason google results starting with “reddit” / “stack overflow” were trending so hard.

Even with amazing documentation, it can be hard to find the thing you’re looking for if you don’t know the right phrasing or terminology yet. It’s easily the most usable thing I’ve seen come out of “AI”, which makes sense. Using a Language Model to parse language is a very literal application.
