To counteract this, I usually accept it right away and move on. But then I feel weird. Like, should I compliment back? It now feels weird that the compliment was over so fast. I don’t think there’s a good way to accept a compliment.

That’s the thing. The reason El Salvador was so effective in eliminating crime is because they don’t care about imprisoning innocent people.

You can’t have the effectiveness without the collateral damage.

Which one is preferable? I don’t know. But you can’t eat the cake and have it too.

Nowadays reliability and coverage is actually the selling point.

They may all have enough speed, but usually the expensive ISPs are more reliable. Mostly because the "cheap ISP"s are just the expensive ones in a trenchcoat selling excess bandwidth. But when the excess bandwidth is no longer excess, the cheap ones are the first to be cut off.

So if you don’t need 99.99…% uptime, the cheap ones are much better.

I’d bet if you were a lego fan you’d say the same about legos.

Housing and concerts are orders of magnitude apart in “importantness”. All of the items above are not needed to live. A home is needed.

I have had many mouses. Most of them broke the side buttons. The scroll wheel usually lasts as much as the side buttons. After that. The left/right main buttons fail.

I have never had a mouse with a broken sensor though. I would look for solutions in the software (calibration and settings). But it’s not impossible that it’s broken.

Napoleon was french, not American.

They should’ve looked at their star software product: Microsoft access.

Now presenting: Access Intelligence

Hardware signing stuff is not a real solution. It’s security through obscurity.

If someone has access to the hardware, they technically have access to the private key that the hardware uses to sign things.

A determined malicious actor could take that key and sign whatever they want to.

So the top exports are: medicines and medicines. Got it

Logistical problems are still financial problems though. That’s my point. Hire enough people/develop the appropriate automation and the issue is no more.

We have the technology to solve this, the problem is the money.

In fact, you could just buy enough batteries and the problem will also go away. Still a financial problem, not a technology one.

EDIT: just to clarify, if at some point energy prices go negative, it means that it is cheaper to buy energy usage than a solution. Unless the energy company is dumb enough to just lose money for the lazyness of considering other options.

It is a financial problem. Technically you can just cover the solar panels. But that’s not good financially.

Presumably, if you’re looking for a partner, if the potential partner is looking for a partner it’s better.

The tinder one is though. Someone being on tinder doesn’t tell you anything about that person. Only that they’re looking for either a partner or casual sex.

Considering how politically active he is, he might become a politician (even running for president?). A lot of people will care about this if suddenly Elon musk appears in American ballots.

EDIT: I just remembered that Elon cannot run for USA president. But idk if other political positions are open.

And seeing how trump can break every law, I don’t see what would prevent Elon from running for president.

Kids are constantly being made. While it might be your 15th CoD game, it’s someone else’s 1st

I was totally ready for “green energy is good graphics and oil is good mechanics”. But then the comment ended. I’m so lost

Shouldn’t being a convicted felon affect one’s candidacy?

Should the US government also pay candidates to have aesthetic surgeries? Being ugly might affect their candidacy!

It is a supply and demand curve.

The supply is incredibly small for a world-famous artist compared to their demand. If the reason some people can’t buy a ticket because there are no tickets left, there’s room to increase the price of the ticket and sell the exact same amount of tickets. If resellers can just buy all your tickets and sell them for 10x the price, then you can 10x the price of tickets and sell the same amount.

The problem is that you can’t just use the profits from selling Taylor swift tickets to make another Taylor swift so you can increase the supply of Taylor swift.

There are only 3 ways they can increase their Taylor swift profits: 1. Make concerts in bigger venues so they can sell more tickets. 2. Increase the ticket prices. 3. Increase the amount of Taylor swift concerts.

1. And 3. Have upper bound limits. Specially 3. Because what incentive do multi-millionaire artists to work more? If I were so wealthy, I’d strive to work less, not more.

The easiest option is 2. why wouldn’t they do it?

Sure, if I was a music fan it’d suck, but the truth is that they are corporations, and they are legally required to increase the shareholders’ value.

Yeah. A human right.

I’ll train my AI on just the bee movie. Then I’m going to ask it “can you make me a movie about bees”? When it spits the whole movie, I can just watch it or sell it or whatever, it was a creation of my AI, which learned just like any human would! Of course I didn’t even pay for the original copy to train my AI, it’s for learning purposes, and learning should be a basic human right!
