We live in a post scarcity economy, but not a post scarcity society. Depressing as fuck.

Mozilla acquiring an ad company is something of a bad sign though.
Arguably access to technology should make it easier than ever to report crimes.
I’d say not since Russia is trying to directly annex those portions of Ukraine. How is that a proxy?
Not exactly a proxy war when Russian troops are personally in Ukraine. That’s just a war.
Mythbusters fundamentally needs to capture the joy of engineering more than the joy of explosions. (Not that those aren’t fun too.)
People forgot how long it took the other world wars to really get rolling. (Presumably because they weren’t alive when it happened.)
I’m also of the opinion that unless something happens to de-escalate this conflict it will inevitably draw Europe, the US, and China in.
“Only FDA-approved substances will be allowed” (but we’re not going to do any testing so go wild!)
Thinking Uber is worse than taxis shows how little people remember about how bad they really were.
I mean, it might be as simple as “my alternative conservative candidate is no longer in the running”. It could take a lot of diving into the stats to figure out the actual cause and effect.
I think he’s likely an invertebrate, no bones required.
Privacy is implied when you say “innocent until proven guilty”. Surveillance assumes the opposite.
Yep, graphing calculators are a forced necessity for school, therefore they can charge anything they want and people will still buy them. This kind of artificial demand causes extreme price inelasticity and is capitalism at its worst.
Same deal with university books, you are forced to buy them so they cost hundreds of dollars, when they could easily be sold at a profit for a quarter of the cost.
If all students did a general strike for a year, it would immediately force change. Tuition is absurdly expensive, even though it’s cheaper to educate people than ever before due to technology.
Yep, might be the only business savvy move Twitter has made since Musk took over.
AI does mean something, but it’s quite disappointing.
Even mundane algorithms like A* pathfinding are technically under the umbrella of Artificial Intelligence. However the public’s perception of what AI means constantly shifts to be “whatever computers can’t do today”.
AI isn’t a scam, but damn, most of the businesses surrounding it sure are.
I believe pixart sigma is more open. The community hasn’t rallied around it though.
Edit: Fuck yes, pixart is AGPL!
Of course it helps. Sure, the first election wouldn’t see much change, but RCV emboldens third parties to exist and would give them a viable path towards displacing the establishment. Right now there is NO path.
They’re not stranded because the part of the capsule that isn’t working has multiple redundancy and is intended to burn up on reentry anyway.
Starliner is perfectly capable of leaving the ISS whenever they want, but they would be unable to continue collecting data on the thruster shutoff (again, because it would burn up in the atmosphere).
