I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

I have a dumb question but why can't my washing machine start the washing cycle off peak demand electricity times???
Like the water heater can do it, the washing machine is basically a fancy water heater that also spins, let me schedule it like my heater???

Si vous vous demandez pourquoi l'hôpital n'a plus d'argent c'est parce que l'argent qu'il aurait fallu utiliser pour l'hôpital a été utilisé pour pouvoir péter la gueule aux gens qui se plaignent que l'hôpital n'a plus d'argent.

Dealing with a third party, they really want static IPs to whitelist with their WAF. Told them no. They're now building a proxy to stand in front of their WAF with their own static IPs... Just stop? Maybe?

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

I'm starting to think there's an inherent issue with "rule based moderation". It always devolves into a nazi bar;
They never cross the line, and then you have a nazi bar. It's such a pain to deal with

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
