Is not. Small providers may go bankrupt if they are too wasteful, one single company thinks big. Thinking big it introduces to everyone at once various stupid things which waste energy too. Not the case with small providers. As in using Gmail’s webpage versus an IMAP client.
Detailed analysis reveals that Google’s and Microsoft’s electricity consumption — 24 TWh in 2023 — equals the power consumption of Azerbaijan (a nation of 10.14 million)
It’d be fine with me if Azerbaijan consumed few times that in a few seconds and stopped stinking for a century or so.
EDIT: Oh, didn’t look at numbers and units closely. The point stands, Azerbaijan should be nuked. Good for the planet (it’s a barren wasteland in every part of it populated by Azeris, and even in the illegally occupied Artsakh they had their way with forests in just a few years with quite a success), good for humanity (reduction in negative value), good for countries whose politicians they bribe, and obviously good for Armenians against whom they commit crimes.
LISP machines were cool. They can bring back that kind of “AI” right now, I want to have one.
I mean, how cool can it be, having hardware acceleration of LISP-typical operations, and a whole LISP-built operating system.
Maybe resurrecting Genera is too much, but we can do with porting Emacs.
That’s not a “how”.
I understood the general meaning, and for the rest we have Google translate =)
No, it’s another distinction. Three different things. Something legal can be moral or not. Something made law can be legal or not. For example, if it’s forced in some way so that formally you couldn’t prevent it becoming law, but it’s still illegal, it’s still illegal.
Which is, other than copyright except for protecting the fact of authorship, why all censorship and surveillance is illegal, and, say, why Armenia legally includes Van, Erzurum, Nakhijevan etc, and the fact that Wilson’s mediation and French mandate have been buried by force just means that Cilicia and Melitene are as well.
Restoring law and order takes effort, though.
Yep, I was thinking that maybe plural may have ä
Isn’t it Kommentärsektion? Not a German, so just asking
There are people who think that something being official law is automatically legal. It’s a bit inconvenient that Nazi Germany is the first example that comes to mind to explain why they are wrong.
What you are describing would mean they are very stupid in the exact thing which is supposed to be their strong side.
It’s just corruption. Politicians have long learned that to appear stupid is advantageous - plebes don’t get alarmed when they see something wrong, but can explain it by stupidity, and they also don’t insist on rolling it back.
These people are vermin. The best thing Germans can do for their future is to interrogate meticulously, investigate and jail for life all of the German politicians who’ve touched power in the last 20 years, with death sentences postponed by 20 years, and maybe also check their family members. The second best thing would be a good French 60s’ style revolution, which would likely lead to the same anyway, because what’s secret would no longer be that.
Similar for many other European countries.
No, I’m not fascist, actually kinda anarchist (more ancap than ancom, but tolerant to the latter).
They meant backdoors hidden in plain sight, so making it readable, but (EDIT: seemingly) innocent. People do that.
I don’t get it, what you are describing is bad for the bottom line too. If we don’t mean that of Scholz’s personal finances, of course.
It’s possible and not so hard, just too boring for people to do automatically (EDIT: I meant - as part of usual work), and also bureaucrats have a very different MO, one that you need a commercial company infected by that culture for.
Also governments steal money. It’s obvious they do. Both in legal ways, when some secretary has salary disproportional to the work they are doing and the need for it at all, and in illegal ones (just for the fun of it).
It’s about power and dealing with people of their culture.
The state is interested in less dependence from big corps, but its officials are interested in more dependence, because that means huge contracts with little transparency and lots of time to hide things that don’t look nice.
but without addressing the root cause it’s like plugging one hole as the dam is about to burst.
How would you “address the root cause”? A hint: government agencies are as clueless as you at best, and benefit from the current situation at usual.
What’s the funniest (and saddest) is when people who are supposedly against private discrimination repeat this when it fits them.
Sometimes they do.
But usually yes, people who become Nazis (or similar) are not very inventive, not very creative, don’t have sense of humor and consider themselves (and some majority they imagine) incapable of those, and those capable - weirdos\geniuses\miracles and such.
Which is why their instruments of choice are violence and scams - they think they can’t do anything else. This also excludes really brave people who consider themselves incapable - because a brave person doesn’t have to believe in having some talent to try again and again.
It’s sad really. But at the same time inspiring, since it means that the better we can educate people (or at least teach them bravery, and bravery can be taught) and the more opportunities for development we give them, the fewer Nazis (or similar) there will be.
Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are
Dunno, this seems like he’s having fun too, just not clearly enough.
Or maybe it’s really that bad.
Well, maybe not exactly “hacked”, is that what they mean?
If only all these companies were so eager to censor Azeri posts calling Armenia “Western Azerbaijan”, doing genocide denial or right away calls to murder.
But “dehumanizing” group murdering people in droves right now is bad, because it may or may not intersect with an ethno-cultural group.
It won’t be too long till Hezbollah are my heroes. I may even become more tolerant to Marxism at some point ; one Marxist sci-fi book, which seemed either naive or hidden critique of USSR itself, now seems to be a pretty good description of our world.
Just the mention triggered me , and as you absolutely correctly pointed out, this is just internet
No reason to get upset
