I assume the Saudi plant will be staffed with grossly underpaid labourers.

Omg thats hilarious.

““We should have expected something like this,” said one Trump ally who would only speak off the record as she’s currently the premier of a western Canadian province.”

Hahaha

Except that he has no executive power over those people.

Whether they are appealing or not, this sounds like the administration is breaking the law. The ruling to allow AP doesn’t stop taking effect if an appeal is in process.

The Trump Administration keeps abusing that. They appeal something, and just do whatever they want until the appeal is processed.

Yes, it is legal. There are many christians in Saudi Arabia, for example. What is usually illegal is public religious practices of religions other than Islam.

It works very well for me. My evidence that it is private is that I download plenty (more than 1 TB per month) and I never get a copyright notice from my ISP. When I torrent non-privately I get plenty of copyright notices, sometimes several times for the same torrent.

It does have, however, some major performance issues. It can be very slow, and it can use up a lot of RAM and a lot of CPU. Its internal database, which saves state of downloads, frequently gets corrupted at which point it has to be re-generated, meaning the list of torrents (not the downloads) is lost. It can be quite a bit slower than other torrent downloaders, and sometimes torrents stall for a while as it waits to prepare the network, especially at start-up.

It’s been getting a lot better though with every update, which is quite frequent.

Hypocrisy! Someone is committing hypocrisy at the church on 325289 ave!

What do you dislike about the AI act?

Oh. Actually that clarifies alot.

Facilitate is the key word. The SC judge left it to the fedral judge to define what it means, taking into account impact on foreign policy.

So, it is not necessarily just an empty word.

Interesting idea to run a low-bandwidth link. It would keep us connected, but posts from disconnected instances would arrive late, depending on how much the traffic (posts between disconnected instances) exceeds available bandwidth.

It’s interesting to explore this more. We could, for example, prioritize specific types of posts, users, or instances to make those faster.

And apparently a mural… which was vandalized in February

I hate you for this

Excuse my ignorance. Could someone elaborate?

Does this include HB-1?

You know what China should do? Ban all exports to the US. Wtf you gonna tariff now, bitch?

Paused to wait for what? What is going to change as time passes?

There is a Bloomberg opinion piece (https://archive.ph/JKT85) that stated argues that China is so-called trade wars proof. TLDR: almost no day-to-day goods are imported from the US. The imports from the US are mainly things like cars, phones, etc. That is, tariffs will have a very small effect on the lower and middle classes in China. Compare this to the situation in the US: China is the main source for cheap items at Walmart, Amazon, etc. Tariffs can absolutely devestate the lower classes in the US.

So, it seems that China can easily win the attrition war against the US.

Keep in mind that tapes are still the most efficient storage medium, in terms of both cost and physical space used. What they lack is speed. These characteristics make them the perfect medium for archiving and backup.

To add: there’s no way money can be saved by switching to another medium. Switching to HDDs, SSDs, etc will be many times more expensive, and switching to cloud would be much more expensive over the long run. It’s unclear whether he wants to move existing data to other mediums (very expensive and stupid - the tapes are already there and have almost no upkeep) or just new data (slightly less stupid).

Actually, if you can’t win at a game then it is by definition a rigged game.
