So a few possibilities.
No it’s not. There’s an absolute metric fuckton of evidence of Russian Disinformation and foreign Propaganda programs have targeted nearly all Western countries. Some more effectively than others.
Even if you choose to completely ignore the direct evidence of not only Russian leverage against high level politicians, but even full intelligence asset control, the fact that Russia has teams manipulating online conversations with fake information is a known fact with no basis for denial.
Unless you have no capability of critical thinking like the antivaxxers that is. But if that’s the case you have bigger problems like probably being one of the many idiots that fell for the obvious bullshit.
Basically, except the newspapers of today no longer care about reputation. They only care about clicks, the bottom line, and speed. Accuracy is no longer a primary focus.
They’re the perfect Republicans. So many of them accept the lies from the Republican party about socialism and communism at face value, because of their experience in Cuba, never even considering that those claims about the Democrats here could be exaggerations, or projection about the Republicans.
It’s entirely likely. That site hasn’t changed a bit in over 2 decades. .
While publicly known external security vulnerabilities may have been found and patched over the years, having the source leaked means a look behind the hood at new weaknesses and a field day with exploiting them.
If 4Chan does come back, I think it will look significantly different.
The same way Spam emails work. Spit shit everywhere and get that 0.000000001% return click, but it costs you almost nothing to put it out.
The account gets history with actual posts, and if it survives without being banned for spam, will eventually be cleared of posts and sold as an established account.
This specific thread is talking about transacting business and banking online. You should be more careful to keep your arguments separated. Otherwise you not only look like an idiot but you also prove you can’t multitask for shit.
Are you stupid enough to actually think the Internet is a closed system?
Instead you just have to trust that anything you’re doing is actually with who they claim to be. No encryption means no identity or security guarantee.
And notably, Japan does not have broad fair use copyright exceptions like the US. There are a very specific set of circumstances where it applies, and Generative AI for sure is not one of those.
Please may be useless. Thank you isn’t useless. That tells you that the prior response gave them the answer they were looking for. No response at all could mean that, or that they gave up, or any number of other things.
The only obstacles are a general lack of real world experience.
Both Thorium and Uranium were being researched in the 60s, but only one can readily be made into nuclear weaponry. So that’s where the research was focused, and not just in the US. Thorium molten salt reactors aren’t a particularly new idea, they date back to the same time period.
Now that nuclear weaponry isn’t the focus, we’re finally seeing real research like this in alternative nuclear sources. Thorium is much more abundant than Uranium, and is fairly readily available worldwide. The byproducts are much less reactive, and the amount of nuclear “waste” is a fraction of uranium. Even there though, the nuclear waste issue has been blown way out of proportion. Most nuclear waste is not long term, only a small fraction is the stuff that lasts thousands of years, and the US already has more than enough storage built to store all long term nuclear waste for every reactor in operation several times over. But most of the programs to actually implement these processes have been cancelled because of various anti-nuclear and NIMBY groups. So instead in most cases… That waste just gets stored on site, at the nuclear plant. Which isn’t particularly an issue, but I think we can all agree is the worst option of all if you’re worried about potential contamination.
And yet, it is still true. Renewables that work via environmental factors like wind and solar will always be reliant on something else to help store excess power, and those storage options are still very limited. Battery storage is taking off, but it is still nowhere near the level to run an entire city for an extended period of time like overnight.
We still need a base load option that’s reliably available at any time and quickly scaleable to handle burst demand. That is currently handled by fossil fuels, and can be directly replaced via nuclear, essentially as a drop in nearly 1 for 1 replacement.
The problem with current battery tech, even the experimental stuff, is just the sheer capacity needed for something that can get close to powering a city through renewable gaps, like overnight for solar. It necessitates looking at alternate “battery” options outside of traditional battery tech. Battery storage can help extremely well for outages and instability, but providing a city amount of power for potentially 8-12 hours of renewable downtime is an entirely different story.
Things like pumped hydro storage, or solar heat batteries are good examples of alternatives. Your “battery” isn’t storing electricity directly, but instead an energy form that you can then take back out later to generate electricity from. Unfortunately most of those also have specific requirements that aren’t very universal, like most city-scale renewables.
The best is almost always going to be a combination of things, but that is rarely the cost effective option, and sadly that’s what really matters with our current systems. Fossil fuel options are almost always the cheapest to build and operate, largely because they don’t actually have to deal with their pollution.
I get so tired of these shit takes that obviously haven’t put much thought into the topic based on the clear barely surface level perspective, but love to repeat the same talking points confidently.
Most renewables like solar and wind cannot handle the second and third points well, of at all. And options that can like hydro and geothermal power are very location dependent.
You need to stop thinking of nuclear as an alternative to renewables and instead as the replacement for the fossil fuel plants that provide base power generation 24/7/365 like coal, gas, and the peaker plants.
Renewables alone do not solve modern societal power needs, but we can replace fossil fuels immediately with better options, like nuclear. As it is uranium power plants are extremely misunderstood by the public from decades of disinformation from the fossil fuel AND renewable industries and a fundamental misunderstanding of radioactivity by the public. Thorium specifically goes around that by removing the uranium Boogeyman, and meltdown risk. Most molten salt reactor designs operate on a Fail-Safe design principle that doesn’t require power to continuously cool the fuel to prevent meltdown like most current uranium reactors do, instead requiring power to prevent that failsafe, often via an ice plug actively keeping the fuel in the system for operation.
I think they were saying the car software wouldn’t add artificial distances to short trips, where it’s more obvious. Not that the real world measurement is difficult or anything like that.
To be fair the bagging area issue is usually caused by a bad configuration, and usually weight based, not camera recognition.
Different stores setup those systems with varying parameters, some are so strict that just regular product variances go outside their limits.

“Okay”
The advertisers are paying for the opportunity either way. Clicks cost them more money than just displaying the ad. Useless clicks cost them money for nothing.
There also general differences in the types of infrastructure that could also correlate.
Higher income areas often have larger land plots, and while there may be plenty of nice sidewalks, crosswalks would likely be fewer and far between, so there would be less infrastructure affected by this.
There are a lot of ways discrimination can be seen de despite it not being a factor. Although discrimination via other factors obviously results in those differences in the first place. Lots of correlation without direct causation when it comes to things like this specifically.
