Noriega has really been asking for it. Is this surprising?

Who knew that changing your profile pictures, sharing hashtags, and finding like minded people in your bubble to doompost with to tell eachother youre right doesn’t actually address any real problems. Another way this was described is called the Information–action ratio… Which essentially means “meant to indicate the relationship between a piece of information and what action, if any, a consumer of that information might reasonably be expected to take once learning it”

Back in the day, most news was local which meant that the information you were given could lead to actionable results directly. Now because you have the entire world beamed at you instantly, everyone is bombarded with information where no real action can be taken. This leads to a feeling of helplessness, which in turn causes this cycle of denial and inaction to accelerate. It’s all very much an intended effect of the modern news cycle. Over time it leads to a certain collective numbness towards very real issues and in a way kind of normalizes things by making you forget the past. Just think about the major stories over the past few months and how many of those are largely gone out of the current narrative. This is all by design and based on years of psychological studies and social engineering.

What’s the problem, it seems to be appropriately sized for Little Marco

You can’t datamine everyone and sell it off as completely as you can with an app running locally on the device. Browser apps are far less profitable across the board. It’s all about money.

If the standard is replicating human level intelligence and behavior, making up shit just to get you to go away about 40% of the time kind of checks out. In fact, I bet it hallucinates less and is wrong less often than most people you work with

The movie wasn’t very good either

Canada needs a Dennis Rodman to send over to try to get the hostages back like Obama did with North Korea

Yes and there was nothing really worth saving. Throw it all away and start over. It’s fine.

For someone that demanded the 2014 borders for the past few years, this is a concession. Odds are that Putin wants all of Ukraine even if Russia has to stop where they are for a few years and repeat the 2014 playbook. It’s very surprising Russia hasn’t been able to push past the current positions. However, they are close to taking certain important cities and the highways.

Another possibility is if Ukraine has elections and chooses another pro Russian president. Then you would have the largest army in Europe equipped with Western weapons potentially switch sides and on to other former USSR states.

It’s more than just SQL. Social Security Numbers can be re-used over time. It is not a unique identifier by itself.
