Oh he does. But he uses the Streisand effect to his benefit to sell his product. Maybe you could argue it is not the Streisand effect if you want exposure by quenching stuff, though?

Just a guess but she probably would have taken the buss back if you weren't there? Like, she wouldn't want to bore you waiting for the buss or try to time it shopping with a kid.

I think it was the weight of the shopping. My food would have increased what needed to be carried, but I was too young to be much use carrying it.

The point is taxis supplement and can replace public transport for low-income or unable-to-drive people in some situations — not necessarily every day.

The cost of owning a car dwarfs the cost of an occasional taxi ride.

Piston engines surely are more complex than jet engines though? Which replaced the "flapping engines".

They are not. Turbine engines require much higher quality manufacturing and tolerances and operate at much higher speeds and pressures. There is more to it than the perceived number of moving parts.

That just indicates that the other models were allready being wound down.

Yeah somewhat like "likes football" might just be a proxy for "male".

male, lives in this region, has an income between X to X+40000, and has used the following terms in chat or email, regardless of context, in the last 6 months: touchdown, home run, punt, etc. etc.

the ad game is not about profiling you specifically, it's about how many people in a group are likely to click and convert to a sale; they're targeting 6 million people, not you specifically, and that's balanced by how much the people who want the ads are willing to pay.

palantir or chinese social credit, etc., is targeting you specifically, and they don't care about costs if it means they can control the system, forever.

I don't think those happely going with whatever the elite says counts the same way?

In political parties there are always these members that vote with the leadership. You usually need way more than 50% support among members to go against them. Dunno how much. In the long term to share is probably closer to 60% but in the short term it might be like 90%. (Made up numbers)

Yeah there were way more people on each side who "supported" them and would have voted for them or something. But the demonstrators against the Iraq war were above the 3.5% threshold which the article says "has never failed to bring about change".

Instead of doing almost correct email summaries Jobs would have a LLM choose color of the send button with an opaque relationship with the emotional mood of the mail you write.

I think there is too much focus on the article and too little focus on that the host is some sort of dyi solar powered server.

You reminded me about this solar powered beauty https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/

Hey you’re right! That’s cool.

Thanks for noticing!

I got the same condition for diesel fumes since my military service. Thankfully I remember how dizzy I used to get around fumes but I really have to force myself to avoid fumes now even at the faintest smell since I can endure it ... when people around me start complaining I can't even smell it.

I assume you lived there since childhood and got used to it from that time?

Yes. Born and raised in Kraków, spent maybe 5 years living elsewhere in total.
