I would love an AI implosion as much as the next guy, but I don't think this is news. AFIK amazon doesn't actually own a whole lot of stuff. They are leasing most if not all of it.

There are a few things here. Developing willpower is a thing. Having depression or other mental health issue is another. It is easy to dismiss it as lack of willpower, but it is a bit more complicated.

I also don't think you understand how living with kcal deficiency works on the long run. Have a look at the Minnesota starvation experiment. When in deficit for long the mind constantly goes to "what/when are we going to eat?" and it only gets worse from there. It becomes an obsession. It takes over everything. My understanding is that glp-1 reduces that.

It also helps for people who have too much extra weight, or incapable (waiting for hip replacement, or the elderly) of exercising.

I have been on diet and managed to go back to the target weight (lost around ~16% of bodyweight) but the food noise was real and constant. It is not a one off "I am not going to eat anymore" that was a decision to be made every minute until next meal came around. I do cycle 10-12 hour a week and the occasional footbal game but finding the deficit that is not causing the food noise is different for everyone.

one of the biggest issue i see is the devicetree nonsense. It makes every single laptop and bios version very unique and requires a lot of housekeeping. There are also big chunks of work (as i understand it) to be done around hibernate and decent suspend support.

My experience (wanted to use x13s as daily sriver) is that there was good progress for about a year, until jhovold was leading the charge, but something expired and qualcom as far as i can tell forgot that some progress should happen on x1 and x8c as well as x2.

I would love to go framework and the specs here look pretty awesome but 5g modem is a must have for me and they dont really have an option for that. I am guessing due to the antennas.

I am genuinely curious where is the historical example where sanctions worked? Korea? Cuba? Their regimes are fine, their people are less so.

US knows its power matters more than international law, UN chief.

title needs to be fixed as above and becomes BAU.

i am not sure about the OP or the motivation and I am not a Streak runner/mover myself, but I do see the appeal of it, that will keep someone moving and exercise more or less consistently. Overall maybe the bad it is doing on bad days, is compensated with the good it is doing on good/average days. It is a long term motivator. For me now that i was cycling about 2-300km per week last year, going to nearly 0 this year so far because life and stuff, makes it pretty hard mentally to get back into the saddle, because of reduced performance, fatigue and just the general feeling of what it felt like to be in a faster group ride that I would get dropped from and i need to work my way back up there in performance and endurance. Having a streak going might have helped with this.

whatever happened to printing the passwords qr code. The tech might itself is interesting. My first thought was archival though. Storing whatever we have on paper archives.

a quick google search tells me: - culture fit - language barrier - discrimination

i think the biggest is problem is the culture fit.

Poverty perception is relative. Most people judge their position on the poor/rich scale based on their sorroundings, rather than in absolute value.

Also to the point on raising the bar. I think that is not a bad thing.

I am not sure it is the same. First of all the limitation in usage for a phone/laptop reduces the utility, but for a transportation device it is way worse. On phone/laptop you can use the main functions while charging, but tethered. On a car the main function is the only thing you cant use.

There does not have to have a single battery standard, could be s/m/l, like coincell, aaa, aa etc.

> Would you trust the people and systems that the battery hasn't been tampered with and is in good working order?

Do you trust random utilities/charger manufacture?

> new battery, but empty, to a random one at a swapping station.

Would you care if it is within regulated thresholds and you can get another one any time you want?

is that infra more expensive than preparing for the holiday events when half the nation decides to relocate to somewhere else and they need on the go charging? Not just the charging stations, but grid usage etc.

Why would you care if you can just go in and swap it again?

It would be nice if instead of the fast charging problem the focus would be shifted to standardized battery packs, that can be field replaced. I don't really want to own 50-100kwh battery. I just want to use the charge in it and happy to pay for that.
