They just print my ballot out on a laser printer when I go to my polling place. My town has one poling place but you can have different districts depending on where you live.

If you have a bunch of people guess how many M&M’s are in a jar you can average the guesses and you’ll come very close to the correct amount. A recommendation system can be very democratic in that way. When reddit still had their public API I would take advantage of this fact and use it to decide if something was a “deal” or not on PC parts. I was tracking the prices of computer ram at the time as an experiment. It worked very well. If they are federated properly, then their content can be filtered and appear on an instances front page.

I can definitely see certain brands doing well with their own forums. Sports teams would be a very good niche for hosting their own instances. Another one would be the entertainment industry. It’s just not feasible for companies that aren’t interesting to talk about. Like there won’t be a Coca-Cola instance worth a lot of users.

The easiest way to deflect criticism is to claim it’s racism or antisemitism. China does the exact same thing. It’s obvious and lazy. I can’t believe people still fall for it. Israel is not the representative of Judaism. They have a far right militant dictator running their country right now who is killing many innocent people. The fact that they are still recognized as a country is beyond reason at this point.

“Metaverse” was the idea that you would use only Meta services instead of the wider Internet. Much like AOL and Yahoo tried back in the 90s and 00s.

I don’t see how this is much different from u.s. police. You could easily be charged with “assaulting a police officer” in the u.s. if a cop wanted to be a jackass. You could get thrown in jail for months or years until it gets sorted out even if you are found not guilty.

Qr code tattoo…

The bill text excludes video game consoles completely.

I was upset when games like world of warcraft were charging for online play. I could see it back then that companies would charge you multiple times just to play games.

It’s hurting the commuting industry.

There’s no nuances to it. They waited too long, everyone affected should have known that this would happen one day.

In keeping with Nintendo naming conventions it with be the “switch u” or more likely “switcheroo” It will be a VR based system that seems like an add on peripheral for the switch, but is actually a new system that nobody buys due to confusion and lack of titles.

I ran it for a little while, but it was too much work to set up what I ultimately wanted it to do. On top of that I don’t want to have touch it after I set it up. I use a lot of dumb motion sensors instead. Not the best solution sometimes, but better than having constant downtime at the worst time.

The thing is, I don’t have any sympathy because they’ve had half a century or more to consider this issue and nobody did anything. If you bought a plane knowing it requires leaded fuel, then it’s your responsibility to fix it or ground it.

There’s other ways to increase octane, but the faa hates allowing changes.

Marketplace became the defacto replacement for craigslist in my area 😔

Some states are switching to cashless bail by default because there’s so many people rotting in jail for not having $100 to their name.

The main issue is that they’re using “safety” as a shield to hide behind actually fixing the problem. Any time someone says something is for “safety” they’re full of shit.

“required for safe operation” aka we’re a bunch of fuds that refuse to change anything.

They could easily phase it out, but there’s no political will to do so. It would cost money to find a replacement and those poor private plane operators would have to suffer the costs, boo hoo. Anyone living within 1 mile of an airport is being contaminated with lead in the air on a daily basis.

Yes, you can rewrite something in your own words and as it isn’t copied verbatim, then it isn’t infringement. You can’t copyright the idea of something.

I read an article in NYT and then I used the information to make money. Come sue me.

This CEO just started like yesterday, they’re still in their probationary period.

There’s a lot of dumdums out there who will fall for this shit.

Seems a little inconvenient to carry a Nintendo switch in your pocket. Plus the battery life is probably not as good.

You can make money doing it, you just have to have extremely loose morals.

“lifetime” fluid doesn’t mean what you think it does. It means the lifetime of the transmission, which will fail if you don’t change the fluid at some point.

Any time a manufacturer has said that it has turned out to be b.s. and someone figures out that some off the shelf fluid works better than the stuff they put in at the factory.

You’re probably too young to remember when computers were a huge pia to use. Your MIL probably knows more about PCs than you do if she worked in an office in the 80s and 90s.

NPCs is ten times worse because it is used to dehumanize people you don’t agree with, further alienates you away from normal society and pushes you deeper into cult like thinking.

Rich kids

He’s Targeting a younger audience as they are more likely to spend money on stuff.

Ah, you see, in order to get around the 4th amendment there are companies that lease license plate cameras to the government, the government then pays a subscription to that company in order to access the collected data.

Any other subscribing agency can look at the data, including local police in Texas.

It wouldn’t be legal for the government to track you like that without a warrant.

The law states that it’s not illegal for one to give information to any law enforcement agency, however what people do in Illinois is their own business.

It’s not like it would be hard to figure out either. You know she has a DUI conviction on x date, you know the amount of time that you have to wait to get your license back after that, it’s basic math.

According to my reading I believe it will make third party licence plate camera collection more limited. It should hopefully prevent states with abortion bans from accessing information about license plates that come into Illinois for the purpose of prosecution since that information would cause those people harm and they have a right to abortion in Illinois.

It’s enabled in the beta version, although limited to a small number of extensions.

No more loose charging ports.

Could have had superior BNC, pathetic.

You gotta speak to your audience.

You can click “not interested” and it will clean it up some, you can also nuke your watch history.

Well, that’s what the person you replied to was saying. Essentially the “AI” is only reading the book, it’s not copying the book.

I could rewrite the entire Lord of the rings series in my own words and it wouldn’t be copyright infringement. I could sit there with the movies on repeat and the books all open for reference, I don’t owe the rights holder anything in that case, as long as I’m but reproducing their work.
