So, when is it fucking enough!? When will these people have enough money?
It's all about keeping score, see. When the best capitalist finally gets all the money, they win. And then we can all quit this game and do something else.
Technically false. Digital images are made up of pixels like this:
which reproduce colors by adjusting the intensity of the red, green and blue light in each pixel. If nothing else, every white pixel in the image contains a full-brightness red segment.
This sort of thing is why building codes matter.
or... you end up with more smaller files to keep track of in order to carry the same information that could've been in one large file
I'm not sure I'd take physical or mental health advice from a venture capitalist.
Upvotes are for visibility.
A rising tide drowns all users.
It's related. Warming ocean temperatures are amplifying the hurricanes and destabilizing currents like the Gulf Stream - both symptoms of the same problem.
This is a bad take. The federal funds rate is currently about 4.5%, which is a historically normal value. During Clinton's term the rate hovered around 5%. Having the rate at or near 0% is terrible, it means there's no margin left in the economic system and it really only benefits bankers and other financial interests.
4% is a good place for the ffr.
Yes. Ocean current changes are coming for us all.
Mood control. Scientists have determined that specific serotonin receptors in your brain might be responsible for specific moods.
Depression and irritability. Low serotonin in the brain can lead you to be frustrated more quickly than you used to be. A lack of serotonin also depletes your energy so you're quickly wiped out. When you do things that used to give you pleasure, you might find they don't give you a boost like they did in the past.
The Laundromat (2019) attempts to describe the human impact of this kind of large-scale money laundering. It's worth watching.
This projection of the 4-dimensional being into 3D space appears as the Mandelbrot set. Weirdly, it appears to be the Mandelbrot set no matter what angle you look at it from in 3D space.
"Good to the last drop!"
This isn't even my final form
Is this one of those military cosplay groups like the oath keepers?
Believe it or not, I can be concerned about both.
The difference is, the place where I live has some data privacy regulations which actually get enforced, and I have some legal recourse against organizations which mishandle my data. China does not have such regulations and I do not have any recourse against organizations based there, so my risk from them is significantly higher.
When China's prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn't just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was...
