  • Mitch McConnell announces discharge from rehabilitation center

    Jump

  • Instead of being a death notice it's a pre-death notice, if you will. He has been moved to a longer-care facility, wherever that may be, and his handlers don't want to deal with the rightful backlash of the rest of us knowing the truth.

    He was probably braindead on arrival IMO. Kinda both legally dead but also you can drag out the official date for ages

    It would also explain why the videos of the ambulance looked so unhurried and why his wife immediately left to visit China

  • Tennessee Congressional Candidate Arrested for Shooting Flock Safety Cameras

    Jump

  • Counterpoint - that's ineffective messaging. It doesn't win over people not already on board

    Instead, if you focus on concrete material conditions, like affordability and healthcare, nearly everyone agrees. Or in the case of flock, you roll it in with datacenters and the AI bubble in general

    Winning under a banner of socialism is impractical, but socialist policies are rapidly rising in popularity across the board. If it goes down easier calling it progressivism, who cares? I just want good things

  • Tennessee Congressional Candidate Arrested for Shooting Flock Safety Cameras

    Jump

  • You're supposed to admit to your actions openly for civil disobedience. It gives you standing to challenge and opportunity to drag things to light. Even now, everyone being tried for this creates headlines that unattributed destruction does not

    At higher levels, it can also clog the justice system and make it expensive to continue targeted policies

    Without all that, it's just property destruction. Flock could probably have examples made of people caught (seeing as somehow they seem able to sidestep the law), but that frames the issue in a better way for flock

    Taking the justice system head on is just a much more effective method of forcing change... Granted at a personal cost, although getting caught by the big brother machines themselves seems likely

    Or it could be for political advantage...I mean, the cameras are wildly unpopular and badasses who cut (or shoot) through red tape are very much currently in style

  • What do you think of the book Fahrenheit 451?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree. It wasn't exactly subtle in it's messaging, and the story felt like just an excuse to display dystopian ideas

    I'd compare it to 1984, which was similar in that the ideas communicated were the main point, but it also had a strong narrative that much better communicated the human experience of those ideas

  • Would a single globally governing body be a good thing? Why or why not. Edit~ abandoned by OP

    Jump

  • It would be bad. Having more distance between decision makers and the impact of those decisions is not good

    It means everything must be boiled down to metrics, and when you make decisions based on metrics you tend to ignore externalities and miss large parts of the picture

    It also means every power hungry asshole is going to be drawn to the world government like moths to a flame. It'll instantly become a very political environment, where human well-being becomes the chips in a games of power

  • Capital One says it closed Trump Organization’s accounts after anti-money-laundering review

    Jump

  • Easy, every organization and every need is it's own bank account if you don't want accounting to be a nightmare

    Like if you take money, it should go in accounts receivable. For expenses, accounts payable. And then you'll want something for the pile of money before it's transferred/sorted, maybe a few for money held aside for various reasons, maybe separate ones for payroll, services from vendors, and miscellaneous things like office supplies. Etc etc etc

    The more money moving around the more seperating out the money flows makes sense. A dozen or two bank accounts for mid sized company is pretty reasonable. A big one might have a dozen per department

    What is a bank account but a digital box to put numbers in anyways? It costs next to nothing per account, but clear delinitation of the money makes it a lot easier to make sure it's going to the right place instead of being pocketed

    Or alternatively, lots of accounts could make it very difficult to make sense of. But that kind of deliberate obsfucation might trigger some kind of anti money laundering alerts

  • Name before type: why 'age int' is better than 'int age'

    Jump

  • What you're saying is more consistent, but I don't think it's more readable

    I'm fine with let or var...if the compiler is going to infer the type thats all well and good. But it's a replacement for the type - why would you write both? It should be either or

    And if the type is being inferred, the next thing I want to know is where it came from. That tells you the type and more, I don't want to have to see a type name that may or may not be there

  • Trump, 80, Cornered on War Crimes Accusation

    Jump

  • There's a lot of anger. The ICC and the concept of war crimes itself haven't been around for even a century, we live in a time of unprecedented things

    I'm not saying the right people will be punished, but there will be punishment

  • Name before type: why 'age int' is better than 'int age'

    Jump

  • Counter argument - putting the type first makes it easier to see where it is declared. Which is more important than the name or the type

  • McConnell faces growing questions about absence nearly six weeks after fall

    Jump

  • How can he face anything? He ded

  • Trump, 80, Cornered on War Crimes Accusation

    Jump

  • There will be a post Trump. He'll die long before he faces consequences, but there will be a lot of political will to see someone suffer

  • AOC says Mitch McConnell should resign if he cannot provide health update

    Jump

  • It's not a job, it's an elected position. If you can't do it for any reason at all, you don't get to subvert the whole concept of representation for the people and leave the seat empty for a prolonged period

    Just because people have made careers out of being a politician doesn't mean they have a right to. It's not their job to lose, it's the people's right to representation

  • Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea Outbreak

    Jump

  • I wouldn't call that a failure... You seem like you're one tweak away from having lots of nice crisp lettuce

    Maybe a bit more light? You can get led grow lights pretty cheaply if you shop around, you could try it on a couple plants to supplement the indirect light without raising the temperature much and test if it works

  • 'Major step forward': French lawmakers approve social media ban for children under 15

    Jump

  • The government job is to reign in out of control elements, like companies releasing products bad for mental health

    This isn't about parenting because the goal is not about children. It's about surveillance and control, not even for the government but for a class of technocrats who found a way to subvert democracy

  • Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea Outbreak

    Jump

  • Maybe start growing your own?

    Food production is basically just a handful of monopolies at this point, your area is probably either supplied by Taylor or not

  • FAA says Boeing can resume self-certifying its jets as airworthy

    Jump

  • Good job boing

  • Donald Trump Says ABC And NBC Should Lose Broadcast Licenses Because They Didn’t Carry His Primetime Address On Election Claims

    Jump

  • Yeah, and back them my hackles raised then trump would threaten elections

    Go on, try to hit the caravan speech now... I sleep

  • Donald Trump Says ABC And NBC Should Lose Broadcast Licenses Because They Didn’t Carry His Primetime Address On Election Claims

    Jump

  • In their defense, it was very boring. The white house hyped it up like he was going to drop a bomb, but it was just the same speech he always does

  • Tech bros having their production environments nuked by AI is never gonna get old

    Jump

  • ...Isn't that what we're talking about though? Or did I misunderstand the OP?

    The post said they were neon database creds, so I would think those would live on the production system in .env

    Rereading it, it seems that they probably set their local build to point at the prod database... Which is like halfway developing (with AI) in prod (which I think we'd agree is not ideal)

    I do absolutely agree with what you're saying though, not everyone should have access to the prod system for sure... Especially not an AI on a loose leash

    I'd split the difference and say we're both right
