Correct. It is a bad thing.
The post I was replying to was still misunderstanding or misrepresenting the statistics.
Again, two things not contradicting one another. Stop projecting.

you own any PlayStation past the PS3 and feel no shame

I'm gonna need a ruling. The Vita came out after the the original and slim, but before the last PS3 model released.

the stats say otherwise

What you said doesn't disagree with OP.
"Groups most likely," means a per-capita rate. That is not at odds with White people still having the highest absolute number. Never thought we'd need to explain that here.

As far as I can tell, the real story is:

  • Apple has an at least three R&D facilities in Israel. Has for a long time.
  • This group designed a Wi-Fi/BT chip and a 5G modem for the cost-reduced version of the iPhone 17.
  • They'll be fabbed somewhere in Asia, just like everything Apple "makes"

Israeli-designed silicon in the communication chipsets is still concerning for the obvious reasons. But I'd be more concerned about eavesdropping than exploding.

the amount of education and even basic natural intelligence to do these new jobs tends to increase.

Even unrelated to AI, the trend of jobs becoming more and more specialized to the point where switching tracks becomes impractical is something that isn't talked about enough.

What happens when a tiny group of people tells a massive group of people they should just go somewhere else and die? The bigger group says 'no' and kills the smaller group.
...
They're going to cave the heads on the 30% in with rocks rather than starve to death. So what do we do before it gets to that point?

Sure that 70% will be angry but what if the smaller group engages in a campaign of propaganda to convince the masses to fight amongst themselves and die while the tiny group reaps all the wealth? Hypothetically of course.

Baltimore-based civil rights lawyer Cary Hansel wrote in a comment to Baltimore Police’s Facebook

“Imagine if immigrants or trans folks had done this at some point in the past,” Hansel wrote. “The current federal regime is already demanding voter roles and using state driver’s license data to wrongly stop and detain people.”

Yeah, that tracks.

I was ready to be mad, but:

down syndrome

They're mourning that they put down a defective person. Hard choice, but arguably the right one. But that's private shit, not something you go squawking on social media about.

It is. I think this is referring to the measure to strip that provision from the NDAA only having 2 reps in support.*

* In the Armed Services Committee. I don't think it's reached the floor yet.

That's not a rug pull. That's someone trying to jew a 60% discount that no reasonable person would have expected. There's plenty to hate about this game, people trying to exploit the storefront isn't one of them.

The make-good here is to do refunds. On the off chance someone bought it in good-faith.

Edit: They might actually be fucked. The "Deluxe Edition" option does in fact list "Marathon" as part of the contents. And says that the launch price of that item was $59.99, now on sale for $14. I had thought that level of incompetence impossible. Guess they should give a free copy of the game to the 6 people stupid enough to have paid any money for it.

I'm not expecting, "to arms, brothers. We will drive them from our shores." There's a whole range of options other than "foreigners good, pointy sticks too dangerous for our nation." Ex:

  • "The verdict won't bring our son back."
  • "We're grateful justice was served."
  • Not making a statement at all

You're paying a lot for the motorized standing desk mechanism. The IKEA equivalents are still $600-800.

But yeah, Herman Miller definitely has a price premium. Apparently there's also "Gaming" variant of the Aeron chair coming in at $2k. It seems like "can lean forward slightly harder" is the main difference from the boring old office version.

And I speculate that goes all the way back to how girls are raised by...

You're overthinking it. Women react to stimulus more emotionally. That's it. Something is bad for men, they acknowledge it, and understand that they'll have to deal with it. Something is 80% as bad for women, they think it is literally the end of the world, and start demanding that we delete thousands of years of civilization to overcome the inconvience.

Maybe there's an element of being sheltered, but even without that, you've got basic behavioral dimorphism.

We are not dealing with people who are 'bad' at making entertainment.

I can't help but think we're dealing with both. If we were dealing only with competent people who wanted power and hated us, they'd be making subversive content that still brought in money.

For a simple example:
You make Bond subservient to an ugly woman, people bail on the franchise.
You make Bond subservient to an attractive woman, guys stick around and you push your agenda over several installments, while profiting.

Using established IPs to push their agenda is such an easy thing to do, that only explanation for the apathy they've cultivated is that they're retarded. They drank their own Kool-Aid and diversity hired their way into being bad at subversion and social engineering. Driving away the audience is an ineffective brainwashing technique.

Probably afraid of getting #metoo'd, lol. Feynman was such an notoriously unapologetic chad that they were protesting him for "sexism" in the 60s.

Continuing his statement outside court, Mark Nowak says he does not want his son's murder to be used to "create further division, hatred or tension".
"We want his story to make our streets safer for everyone," he says.
"That is why we are calling on the government to treat knife crime as the national emergency that it is.
"We need real solutions. We need investment in prevention. We need stronger action on the sale, the ownership and the carrying of all knives."

Nah. The good-paying ones will go to jews. In fact, watch them use this as a foot in the door to get Israel added to the most permissive list for dual-country nationals (alongside NATO countries) regarding defense employment/export regulations.

An LLM wouldn't really be the right tool. But some of the black-box fuzzing tools out there were already using machine learning approaches before the "AI boom" happened.

I'm sure someone's found a way to apply agentic shit to it.

Haven't seen the movie, don't care about horror.

Just want to point out there are, "numerous thinkpieces about Bayonetta being a gay icon," online. Doesn't mean it was ever intended or even true. You probably shouldn't base your worldview on how your enemies see it.

why don't they all go with the free option by default

That question almost always goes to corporate support contracts. If I'm a big accounting firm and Excel breaks business-wide one day, I can get MS on the phone and fix it. I don't have to wait for some random guy in Eastern Europe who develops software as a hobby to get around to a patch when he has free time. Every second that my software isn't working is lost revenue. That's why enterprise paid for support contracts in the first place. Once a company is big enough, it only trusts the risk management style that's common with other big companies.

The free software you see get big corporate adoption is usually stuff in the programming sphere, where the company itself already has employees who can deal with it or another large company using it explicitly has people dedicated to supporting it. Like why OpenSSL has massive adoption and OpenOffice doesn't.
