Also it could lead to a mutation. Not sure how robust the measles vaccine is, but technically possible to produce something new.

I wasn’t super thrilled about the idea myself, but with the ability to disable it I figured I’d give it a try.

Personally it’s a really cool feature that adds to the experience.

If you look most are “first_name.last_name@” so it should be big.balls@doge.eop.com

While the amount of debt has been ever growing, it hasn’t relative to GDP. When it has grown, it’s grown primarily due to policies from Bush and Trump. Both of these president’s also passed massive tax breaks which is a significant contributing factor to the national debt.

At the end of the day, the national debt only matters if we can’t pay it. All the cuts being made to federal spending right now are more significant because they will slow down the economy and cause reverberations for years to come (public research and investment are multipliers for the economy in many ways).

As you call out, we should be taxing billionaires, which points to the larger economic concern right now for America - economic disparity.

You’ve really bought into the propaganda there, besides Clinton our national debt has always been the “highest” every year. The most important factor is foreign vs domestically held debt, and that ratio hasn’t changed for the worse.

Obviously we have some spending concerns, but financially that’s not the primary concern for the US right now (and we wouldn’t be talking tax cuts if it was).

Actually the US owns most of the debt. That’s part time of the reason it’s not seen as risky as theyre effectively and iou to themselves.

They should just call them import or sales taxes, the average person doesn’t get tariffs.

I mean, the real issue is that everything is half truths. It allows peoe to glom onto whatever they want to hear or enough to rile people up without ever learning the full truth.

Yeah, the main issue about direct democracy is that real nationwide policies require specialized knowledge and education. It’s not possible for one person to know everything let alone a large nation.

I mean, a lot of TV has murders in it. There is a huge market for showing realistic murder.

But I get the feeling your saying that there isn’t a huge market for showing real people dying realistically without their permission. But that’s more a technicality. The question is, is the content or the production of the content illegal. If it’s not a real person, who is the victim of the crime.

It’s weird cause technically adaptive traffic patterns are trained using tools like reinforcement learning, which is technically AI, however it’s the broad term AI and not GenAI.

I mean that’s the same thing with AI generated content. It’s all trained on a wide range of real people, how do you know what’s generated isn’t depicting an underage person, which is why laws like this are really dangerous.

That’s the same as saying we shouldn’t be able to make videos with murder in them because there is no way to tell if they’re real or not.

Plex and plexamp is the best music hosting setup I’ve found too. Users can have their own playlist and there is some smart playlist generation.

They also had (maybe still have) tidal integration.

However, you’ll still be relying on other services (probs spotify/etc.) to find new things.
