I would be happily surprised to learn that any of those sites could actually support the traffic this generated

So that debt the state is paying for....why do you think NYC had it in the first place?

Even with this "offloaded debt," NYC citizens receive less for their tax dollars than the rest of the state

I've unfortunately had the same experience as you, I'd say at least 2/3 of my office is pro-AI.

So barely being connected to Germany counts as being "produced" by it?

Hitler was born in Austria to Austrian parents and was raised in Germany, sure. You can blame his German upbringing.

But Trump was born in New York. So was his dad. And his mom is from Scotland.

Thiel was born in Germany but his family moved in South Africa when he was an infant and then moved again to the US before he was a teen.

Oh no no, they have NOT been riding this wave well.

Microsoft and Google have each invested like 200 billion into AI crap and Google wound up with a MUCH better product.

Apple has invested like 10% of that, choosing instead to outsource. IMO they are the real winners here (of the previously-established tech giants)

My prediction is that Anthropic will "win" the AI arms race in the US but it won't really matter because Deepseek continues to one-up them and OpenAI's bankruptcy will destroy the economy anyway

Think about that, though. How much heat does a satellite produce to necessitate large fin stacks? And how much heat does a data center produce?

That is a wildly unreasonable backup plan. Texas isn't gonna agree to split. California isn't gonna agree to split. Like the only state that might consider it is...Alaska? I don't know. I don't think yoconsidering what a massive undertaking that is.

It'd be easier to replace FPTP with something else. But if even that is too hard, the simplest solution is to just get rid of the electoral college. The popular vote is unaffected by state size and without the electoral college, "swing states" don't exist so campaigns would become more distributed across the country

Yeah, I think my mistake was not realize the praise was coming from a much younger demographic. I was really surprised by how little gameplay there is.

Nostupidquestions is for questions you've been hesitant to ask for fear of sounding stupid, my favorite example being "am I supposed to wash a hoodie every time I wear it?"

I don't really think that applies here. Asklemmy is the general questions community

Not really an onion headline, more like Buzzfeed or boredpanda

I don't know whether that's a quote from something or fresh off the dome but that's an absolute banger of a line.

I am not downplaying the psychological effects of obesity but....Willpower is quite literally the ability to overcome your hormones/emotion and resist social pressure. It IS all you need, it's just really hard to learn. Especially nowadays with the societal pressure to be hot and how depressing the world is in general.

Comparing obesity to a cold is a false dichotomy as you most people can't simply avoid asymptomatic carriers. But if you insist on the comparison, we were absolutely vicious to people who got COVID because they chose to not wear masks (and rightfully so). I'm not suggesting we SHOULD be similarly mean to fat people, though.

I want to reiterate I'm not looking down on anyone for having weak willpower, mine is shit when there's a sweet treat in front of me. But I lost 5kg last year just by practicing at the grocery store. If there's junk food in my house, I know I'll pick it over real food every time. So I choose not to buy it.
