Exactly my point. You didn’t think about Ukraine, so of course you aren’t thinking of what this is going to do to the US when other countries abandon their deals too, and Trump retaliates/ sues.
Youre in for a wild economic ride. I guess americans not understanding this is why he got elected. In a way you deserve this.
This is such a dumb take. Just the fact you didnt mention something as clear as Ukraine’s genocide shows you have no idea what a corrupt idiot can do. He will be manipulated and it’s going to cause irreparable damage to society.
They know taxpayers will foot the bill and they will make astronomical amounts of money off it. Plus they get a stranglehold on energy.
Tech companies aren’t going to buy power plants and enshitify them. Allowing the tech giants at the table at all is far passed enshitification of democracy (and your tax dollars). Governments should have built the energy using the people’s money, and profited off businesses using extreme amounts of it (bringing a lot of dollars back). Instead they’ll use the corporate money to build energy, and profiting off the people who need to pay the corporation
Subsidies are important. You pay enough tax dollars that some of those should be used to help the country be stronger economically. You don’t want all farmers to disappear from the US because China can make food with slaves for waaaay cheaper.
The problem is theyre laughing at you helping their friends with that money, and calling it capitalism. It’s socialism for corporations using the people’s money really
Basically what happened with meme stonks too. The rich want to keep people from playing their game…
Not just that, but it’s so they can profit from even more taxpayer subsidies. That’s why theyre trying to convince us it’s all for humanity.
In a way, i think we’re all still there
Imagine if we had 10s of billions a year to drag all these companies and governments into long court battles for OUR rights. Corporations should be second.
Because it was a pandemic fueled rush. Everyone thought gaming was the best bet because we’re all at home. Companies like meta, Microsoft etc… grew astronomically on tax payer subsidies making it even better money. Other companies tried to invest or spin up game divisions.
Now the party is over, it doesn’t even matter if these games are good or have potential. They put the sunk cost in the “pandemic’s fault” spreadsheet, and take all the liabilities and costs from the expense spreadsheet. It looks fantastic on paper to investors, the real numbers dont really matter.
Same here (15 years). I work in all sorts of frameworks and languages. I normally would have just googled a given question to see the code i need, paste it in with everything that’s wrong, and fix it to my liking. I know what I’m doing I was just missing the specific words i havent used in a couple years, i still understand them. Copilot just avoid me opening google, clicking through some bad SEO, passing the bad answers, and doing that a couple more times to bring in everything I need. It’s a google formatter.
It’s also exactly like searching google. If you ask “is this cancer” you’ll find cases where it’s cancer, if you ask “is this not cancer” youll find cases where it’s cancer. You can’t trust it in that way, but you can still quickly parse the internet. I make juniors explain their code so even if they paste it in, they’re kind force to research it more to make sure they get it; it’s on the reviewers now to train llm kiddos.
It’s like when you say something is full. Double full doesn’t mean anything, but there’s still a difference between full of marbles and full of sand depending what you’re trying to deduce. There’s functional applications for this comparison. We could theoretically say there’s twice as much sand than marbles in “full” if were interested in “counting”.
The same way we have this idea of full, we have the idea of infinity which can affect certain mathematics. Full doesn’t tell you the size of the container, it’s a concept. A bucket twice as large is still full, so there are different kinds of full like we have different kinds of infinity.

Plz make wix studio ads stop!
That’s the toolbox fallacy. “If only i had good running shoes I would be motivated to run.”.
Youre swapping motivation for anxiety, guilt and frustration. Youre better off paying someone on fiver to shout at you.
You won’t survive programming if you can’t get through this part. It doesn’t stop taking effort after you’ve learned the basics.
The tutor won’t make it painless, or make it go faster really, and people just end up being agry at the tutor.
You’re much better off joining a community/discord of people learning the same thing, or finding a project/thing you care for, and using common motivational tricks. With youtube/Twitch, it’s easier than ever to find people to help you.
Doesn’t mean it’s worth 30k. There are whiskies just as old and better that aren’t sold at that price.
This item is not sold 30k because its old, or even rare. It’s sold at that price because there’s always a rich sucker who wants something expensive.
Makes sense. So the bike gives kJ in work done with muscles, which I guess is even more confusing
Is that 25% efficient at burning calories to produce force or inefficient at converting food into usable calories?
I meant to say in the spending of our calories through our muscles
It’s a measurement of energy needed. Bodies are going to take different amount of force to move the thing, but it’s also going to take a different amount of time, and impart less inertia, which starts averaging out to the same amount of calories. I bet they also raise the amount of calories shown to account for no process being 100% efficient.
Measuring how we consume our calories is also a bit tricky, the bike tells you the minimum energy you spent moving the wheel. It could be slightly more, but not by much because our bodies are pretty efficient at using stuff to burn into energy. The amount needed to move the bike is about as much as we’ll burn because there isn’t a lot of waste. Of course if you have a condition, or are out of shape this changes and the counter becomes more inaccurate, but in a positive way. (You burned more than the counter said). Some will record your body mass index and other info to try to shift you in the right average.
We still calculate how much calories are in food by burning them and seeing how much energy they emit (heat). It’s not really how we consume calories but very similar. All in all calories aren’t a great way to think about human strength, or exercise
My bad, I meant anywhere the sun is directly overhead, which happens to be only in certain areas, but not just in Hawaii.
People give zero shits who you have as a president and what discrimination you guys support. This election affects everyone, like it did last time.
If you think US foreign policy doesn’t affect the US itself, nobody can help you.
