it’s useful to constantly say it… if everyone just shrugs and says “exactly what we thought”, it’s inevitable. stay angry, keep everyone else angry, keep reality that there will be consequences because otherwise the only sure thing is there will be no consequences
the only people that gain by repeating that it’s unlikely that there will be consequences is the people doing horrible things
meanwhile if my US friends come to australia and try to tip i will angrily tell them where to shove it
tipping is a fucking scourge
i’d tape a screw driver to the battery… the tiny drivers you’d need for modern phones could be tiny: look at the sim ejectors… that, but as a screw driver
just because someone waves a pride flag does not mean that they are there to protest for LGBTQ rights
yeah! just the topic at hand! you’re not allowed to feel angry about a specific way in which it has personally harmed you! only the things i care about are valid!
yeah you can’t have a ballot that someone else can force you to keep to prove how you’ve voted… anonymous, individual, untraceable ballots are essential
though perhaps that’s could be mitigated if you could print as many ballots/receipts as you like so you can submit your real one and keep a fake one… then anyone with no care can keep their real one, and anyone being coerced can keep a fake one
i totally agree this is the way to do it: the machines can even keep tallys for early results reporting, but the paper ballots are the only thing that actually matters. that would make subverting the electronic systems useless. it’d also be a good sanity check on the count
the world is larger than north america… walmart does not operate in the vast majority of the world… it doesn’t even operate in the vast majority of western countries
yes pls
this the “or throw an error”
honestly australia is kinda between a rock and a hard place … we have to ride the line between US and china because we’re hugely strategic to china with all our raw resources, with little to no ability to actually defend ourselves because we have such a huge land mass and tiny population (we’re about the size of the US in land mass with a population slightly smaller than texas: imagine if texas alone had to defend the entire US)
we aren’t europe: if we piss off the US we don’t have the money or population to pivot
… also the US has been involved with overturning our elected government twice
that said, we’ve been getting much closer to recognising palestinian recently
which other one? because i’ve got kanye on my list too and there’s at least a couple more
also that humans did that is wild
honestly imo luck is involved no matter what… maybe other than inherited wealth
hiding and being visible are very different philosophies on speed enforcement:
hidden cars and cameras are intended to slow people down in general; marked cars and cameras are intended to slow people down in specific areas
neither are particularly right or wrong imo, and in fact where i live in australia both are used regularly
Math.min isn’t the minimum integer; it’s the minimum of a list (and max visa versa)… the min/max of an undefined list is the same… IDK what it is, but this probably the most reasonable of the “WTFs” they could have put there i think… other languages would throw an exception or not compile (which JS definitely SHOULD do instead of this, buuuuut lots of JS has aversions to errors)
*edit: okay the curiosity was killing me: Math.min() is Infinity and Math.max() is -Infinity
i’d modify the CPU requirement and say you can sub that out for a 2nd hand cheap nvidia card if it’s easier
here’s the table of cards with nvenc: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new
i’m running an old af xeon and added a $30 entry level GPU from years ago and it was a great upgrade
well we have a word for that, and that word is complicit
that is an entirely separate problem… congrats on moving the goalposts yet again… we shouldn’t try and protect people from discrimination with laws because… cops use violence against minorities? is that seriously your argument?
what a fucking dumb take… in most countries that aren’t the US, there is no death penalty for any crime
we punish people in many ways, and most of them are non-violent and violence via incarceration is only used as a last resort
a charity that helps people with the paperwork required for medicaid for free?
