4K already uses a crushingly large amount of streaming bandwidth. I think it will be decades before most streaming services and ISPs allow you to stream enough data to support 8k.

Whatever it takes to keep the stock up and delay the day of reckoning

TikTok mysteriously developed this problem on the day after it changed ownership. They can’t explain it.

Looks kinda janky

Fucking idiots.

Oh no.

Good reason to use session and not signal.

Edit: unless you like having the feds id you by your phone number

I’d rephrase this… trust scientific medicine, but don’t necessarily trust all doctors. Doctors are human and don’t know everything. But, usually the answer exists or can be found through scientific medicine.

I recently was diagnosed with a somewhat rare disease and it took me a long time to get to a doctor that knew what they were talking about. Until I found them, I’d wait for months to see a specialist and then realize I had learned a lot more than they knew about my particular condition just from reading patient forums and medical papers while I waited.

Canada, please destabilize the US by offering New England, Minnesota, and the US west coast places as provinces in your country. We will strongly consider it.

This is why you shouldn’t use Google or Meta products

At work, I had to design something for a new software product and realized that if we applied the same approach as our old product we were going to run into major scalability issues. The problem is the whole organization was basically used to the product working this old way. For months, people tried to ignore the scalability issues and push forward with the old approach in the new product. I kept being a pest though and pointing it out. Eventually, I wrote a several page document with data and graphs explaining exactly what the problem was and presented it to other teams. I also did research and found that our competitors were doing it my way, which I attributed to the scalability issues inherent to the problem. This forced everyone to accept the problem and eventually my solution. It was really hard to basically be fighting against a mob mentality and feel like the only sane one. It was also hard because even after the solution was accepted people were still upset about the change. In my view, this was like being angry at the laws of gravity. You can feel that way, but it doesn’t change that they exist and you have to accept them.

This is very normal and very professional. A legitimate government agency definitely acts this way.

Europeans were the ones traveling around between continents spreading plants from one to another without regard for the consequences.

Said no American ever. There are many things to have conflicts about between nationalities, especially now, but this is a weird one. Also, Europe is probably the continent with the most egregious history spreading invasive species.

If they play this game, watch the west coast and northeast of the US join Canada.
