the UK could block access to 4chan, or block the ability for 4chan to sell ads in the UK

It's bad optics to build their own Hadrian's Firewall, so they are trying to bully foreign companies into compliance instead. If they want to go after the ad revenue, they would have to try to identify and prosecute the UK-based companies doing business with 4chan, and they will struggle to do that when they have no ability to subpoena 4chan for their business records.

So they let a guy charged with a felony who was an obvious flight risk out on a $10k bond, didn't even take his passport, and he just hopped on his return flight home? What a joke. Israel does not extradite, so he's effectively home-free now.

I always keep my ICE cars for at least 25 years. It is crazy to me that people are getting rid of them after only 12 years.

That works if you have the skills, tools, and willingness to do a lot of work yourself. For most people, a major repair on a 10+ year old car (engine, transmission, etc) means sinking more money into a car than its blue book value.

Triage, you work by priority to maximize impact.

Look at the problems in this country

23 instances. 23.

As an analogy, let's say I'm triaging a broken neck, a burn, a gunshot wound, a compound fracture, a stab wound, a broken toe, and a hangnail.

If Voter ID were to be placed somewhere on here, it would be below hangnail.

This is smoke and mirrors nonsense that is using minorities and trans people as a scapegoat and distraction.

How much fucking richer are people getting? Poor people have been convinced by rich people that their problems are the other poor people. It's insane. You can pull this pattern out of every modern fascist government and yet people are lacking on to it like a bunch of suckers. It's embarrassing. We should be fucking ashamed of ourselves.

That's a specious argument because the voter ID problem requires basically zero resources. Just mandate voter ID, problem solved. Practically every other first-world country does, including progressive European countries.

Looking in their github, it says that it uses openCV and Tensorflow. The motion detection is done with openCV and will be immune against any attack unless you move so slow that you are under the detection threshold.

Tensorflow for the object detection doesn't do any OCR thus written instructions dont work. However, according to the website the system has a limited list of objects it detects. So maybe disguising yourself as a walking tree might prevent detection.

The corn that gets turned into biofuel isn't edible without further processing into maize derived products, so in a crisis scenario, hope you can still highly process corn.

You can turn it into animal feed.

I sometimes wonder, what is the collective money and manhours spent on airport security check around the world, since 9/11?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that there should be no security checks - but it has to be astronomical.

The TSA has a workforce of 65,000 people, it's an insane waste of collective time and energy. Meanwhile private planes don't even have to go through the TSA, presumably because big donors have actual political pull and the risk is laughably low. Too bad Elon didn't pick the TSA as a DOGE target, it would have been actually useful and wildly popular.

That's pretty average (which is a good thing).

Japan: 20%

China: 20%

India: 13%

UK: 24%

Italy: 26%

Germany: 26%

France: 30%

Then there's Canada of course... 50% with a proposal to make it 66% in 2026. Let's see how that works out!

pseudo0 · 24 days ago

Isn't it a 50% inclusion rate for capital gains in Canada? That works out to a maximum tax rate of 27% in the top tax bracket. And they canceled the proposed increase to a 66% inclusion rate, which is probably smart considering how a ton of rich Canadians already move to Florida.

In the US and much of Europe, the subsidies are to NOT produce, not to produce more

pseudo0 · 25 days ago

A lot of it also gets turned into biofuels or sent to third-world countries as food aid. That could easily be rerouted in a crisis scenario, if domestic food security became an issue.

"The green revolution has won a temporary success in man’s war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

A bit ironic to quote that considering how the speech was 55 years ago, and the green revolution is going stronger than ever. If anything the crisis of the next 50 years will be the economic and societal pressures crushing the childbirth rate in Western countries.
