  • Google Maps Changes Lake Ontario to Lake America

    Jump

  • It's google standing policy rather than law forcing them. "Eager to avoid political friction" by using names from US GIS for US geolocated queries. Eager to amplify political friction under policy cover of whatever dotard master imposes on America/world is more accurate.

  • Trump declares national emergency over 'extraordinary' threat in America's power grid

    Jump

  • This is supposedly targetting China

    Approximately 450 large Chinese power transformers (rated above 10,000 kVA) have been imported into the U.S. grid since 2006. Critically, over 360 of these are Large Power Transformers (LPTs) exceeding 100,000 kVA

    There are significant orders from utilities to China for new Transformers. The US has a 2.5 year queue overall for transformer delivery, which would lengthen considerably, and the existing Chinese transformers would also need to be replaced.

    The order is also designed to make utility solar more expensive, and delayed, for their inverter costs.

  • From headline, I thought he was backing away at AI datacenter first power delivery policy. My mistake. Just delay power expansions, and make sure rate payers pay for most expensive option.

  • NVIDIA reportedly buys HuggingFace for 13 billion

  • I know huggingface. I don't know of anything they sell, though.

  • US uses that radical leftist "United" word though.

  • Trump Team Refuses to Explain Imported Beef Origin as Backlash Grows

    Jump

  • Meat packing is heavily biased towards foreign born workers. The companies have complained about high labour costs.

    Cattle prices are from futures market charts. The typical market price effects from narratives of "high beef demand" and "Cattle shortages" would be higher cattle prices.

  • Trump Team Refuses to Explain Imported Beef Origin as Backlash Grows

    Jump

  • Tyson beef plant that just got shutdown

    That is primarily a consequence of immigration crackdowns. Beef inflation up 9% while cattle is down 9%+

  • 15 minute cities is commie hippies trying to enslave you into... not forcing you into car ownership expenses.

  • The US-Canada Trainwreck and the Limits of American Power

  • This acknowledges colonial structure language. The obvious is that you get more colonial servant loyalty by not needlessly publicly humiliating the servant and his people, to be able to ask for important favours that are dutifully executed. Extra dumb to attack countries you have a trade surplus with.

    The mistake of the Iran war could easily have been avoided if smarter allies than Trump could have explained to the dotard that it wasn't going to work. The surprise attack did 0, and was a complete embarrassment. But the weak lashing out of no one jumping in to help while telling all their help would be useless, should be a private embarrassment of being told no beforehand.

  • Jeffries, Kushner met privately, discussed potential areas of common ground: Sources

    Jump

  • including possible areas of common ground

    The ultimate one is a zionist supremacist genocidal radical religious establishment/Mossad rule over the US. How they can cooperate to diminish DSA, and block all progressive agendas.

  • Johnson says Kushner ‘not directly involved’ in Trump administration after reported meeting with Jeffries

    Jump

  • Interesting meeting, probably about resisting impeachment proceedings after Dems win. Jeffries shouldn't be house speaker, IMO.

  • Do you think UBI will be the future of the world?

    Jump

  • Establishment does not want power redistribution. Most people look to government as having a role of providing shared prosperity, instead of just forcing you into war and to go die for your King's amibitions. A conditional welfare system is rationed by political preference, and expensive to police and administer. UBI provides the shared prosperity at a 0 effective tax rate. You're simply transfering very high income's taxes to lower income people in a net 0 transaction for the state. With UBI, every corrupt empire spending plan must justify taking away equal cash alternative to every citizen/resident, and so the political power of establishment/rulership representatives is redistributed to the citizenry far better than election promises meant to champion a specific constituency (necessarily at expense of all others) without the obligation to follow through and deliver. More bureaucratic allies of the empire is also a corruption, if their function is fundamentally useless and can be replaced by UBI.

    UBI leads to massive economic growth because wealth always trickles up, and redistribution is just step 1 in trickling up to all workers and owners who make more to sell more to broader population that can buy more.

    A better closing sentence would have been. The objection to UBI is that the establishment loves more fascist totalitarian power instead of losing that power.

  • Do you think UBI will be the future of the world?

    Jump

  • Zionazi, Corporate, Oligarch fascim will put up a good fight. UBI is more power redistribution than any wealth redistribution. It becomes easier for everyone to make a lot of money and get richer. The objection is about reducing fascist totalitarian establishment power.

  • Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50%

    Jump

  • The only reason I'm not upset with this, is that I will game the algorithm to make my price almost free, if these MFers want any of my $, that is. Maybe a good use of 20c of AI to harrass their algorithm into giving me a nearly free seat.

  • Chinese memory can now match the speed and latency configs of the RAM in our gaming PCs

    Jump

  • I agree the US spies. It is easy on a full general compute stack, ie. PCs/phones. Routers is harder, but NSA experts could probably find suspicious chips on hardware, and if those experts were part of a government for Americans, they could find violations installed at NSA's requests too.

  • No One Knows If Trump and Iran Are Negotiating Right Now

    Jump

  • I'm not saying its right because I'm right. I'm making very specific proofs. You need to challenge the proofs instead of hand waving about how you feel it sounds.

  • Chinese memory can now match the speed and latency configs of the RAM in our gaming PCs

    Jump

  • Make it look like a dram module, make the other 7 dram modules look like ones that are 7/8ths the standard size, and make the set of 8 pins work with 7 actual dram modules while still performing like a cheap standard module. so people buy it. There are no microsopic CPUs or with no pin traces leading to them.

  • when was the last time common people and business paid attention to IT Security experts BEFORE their systems were broken into?!

    You/America can be worried about spyware from China. So the US makes an inspection department, like it has for food and drugs, that certifies there is no spyware. That is a completely different approach than fabricating spyware hysteria, and then forcing everyone to believe it.

  • No One Knows If Trump and Iran Are Negotiating Right Now

    Jump

  • starting from the presumption that Trump can retreat

    Of course he can. Declare victory in the process. You admitted that this would help GOP in midterms. The only conceivable alternative is a sincere respectful peace with Iran, and there is zero chance US establishment/Israel lets that happen. So withdrawal is only possible outcome. The reason for delay is political opportunities/pressures to delay.
