I assume the old vs new is actually just a reflection of age of the voters?

Yes, a depressing piece, straight up only talked to LLM salesmen and grifters clearly.

It'll achieve stories in the media and votes from pensioners who believe that "young people" are malingerers. Purely the aim.

Ah but Termination Shock was more successful, so maybe it depends which solar engineering fiction you choose...

Nope, it destroys his credibility, the electorate think Trump is an idiot, that he doesn't says he's incompetent, it will prevent him doing anything in the UK. A good politician would say those things in private to Trump (if they were necessary), not be made to look like an idiot, or a fool.

It would certainly be worse, *but* you can't blame people for not rewarding failure, or a conclusion that getting rid of the current party appratus, could lead to a change in those parties. A "it would be even worse with them" is an abhorrant political strategy.

A Mayor does not close the beaches for shark activity! There's been oscar winning documentaries filmed about it. So even if they said shark activity, it must be something else!

I think it's just every political party wants to do lots of authoritarian shit, probably a focus group told them it was really popular.

The point was to share it with others, so as to advertise the service, it was also probably a fun hack for a dev for a week or so, before the endless product management meetings...

We had one in our hallway too, I will have to investigate if my dad still has it, or if he shipped it to Canada at some point in the past.

For sending money to nazi's there's Visa, for everything else there's Mastercard I guess...

Except the webpages it's automating on will start having adversarial differential pricing/tools etc. for the agents - so you'll get Milk at twice the price, and a walking tour of the sewage works. It can be worse, just dream!

I'm gonna guess this is pre-empting the huge increase in death certificates required once their true productivity boost plan of "raise vat and kill all the poor" comes into action, system works well now perhaps.

Xi comes off well there though, managing to come up with the "too much responsibility line" quickly and easily, rather than "WTF? wht are you weirdo? name your own kid!"

Ignoring the, wire to the mains for any actual essential electrical goods, or the ability to swap AAA's with another device, amazon even have the exact problem (running out of an essential) dealt with via their subscribe feature...

Can he try the Martial Law thing for a few hours, that was fun yesterday?

The question is "crime", but you're contrasting it with stats on "victim based crime" - shoplifting for example is a very different path, people can be concerned about crime without it purely being in your picked list of victim based.

We're a traditional broadcaster, broadcasting live TV since 1932, there's no pirating going on, our IP streams are completely legit, and linear TV still gets millions of IP concurrents regularly.

I was certainly talking about Live broadcasting with the doctor who example, lots of the content has to be broadcast before it can be VOD, so the eager people need to watch the live stream - although we've mostly escaped that now.

I am not quite so sure our definition of acceptable is below Netflix (product certainly don't think so!), we also have quite a lot of info on people VPN'ing from north america to get Doctor Who for example. But yes it's an advantage that they're not things we even want to optimise for.

I'm sat (for various silly reasons) testing a UK origin live stream on a US Tor node exit, so yeah - but I still think a bit harsh to say "not an option" it would mean lots of the world couldn't get live streams, unless you're actually doing low latency streaming.

Although very US specific, and the rest of the internet quiet. So just steal from Europe...
