I mean its just a practicality.

Lots of governments just end up with career lawyers and politicians.

They can choose their advisors and their advice.

The more varied experts you can get into parliament, the more likely you have an on the record disagreement from an expert preventing a politician from choosing the incorrect advice that suits them better.

Thats not to say they are going to be any better for corruption, but in todays world there are so many deep silos that governments just completely step over and disregard.

>Ok great, thanks for clarification. But still, on year 3 of the AI buildout, assuming the pace doesn't accelerate (it's already pretty fast!) then each GPU bought logs $0 profit since it's offset by amortization of the last two years.

Probably worth noting that Azure has had GPU resources for a while, I think it was already a profitable line for them, and since people have been chasing GPU compute on cloud platforms it can be difficult in some regions getting a reservation. Microsoft is probably looking at AI as Another profitable use case for our assets, let's expand it rather than a greenfields GPU buildout from zero. And where capacity doesn't get used by AI their customers can use it for other stuff across most not all SKUs

Virtual call center agents all suddenly think they are Ford F-150s

>The US has the 1st and 2nd amendments, which gives us protection from tyranny in the government

Lmao. Jim Tyranny has had what? 3 cracks at him? Hardly protection.

>Meanwhile there are more heat deaths in Europe than gun deaths in America.

This is a weird metric of freedom. It seems more like a reflexive, zeitgeist based response than any actual freedom metric.

In my experience the country with the most freedom is Canada. I have never seen anything like it. It's just so easy to do business there. Even if it wasn't that the laws enable it (they do) but even the way people operate. Being able to have a discussion with a customer without 12 rounds of a solicitor trying to insert dumb loopholes into a contract, costing the potential customer more in billable hours to their solicitor than the cost of the contract.

The USA is just junk. States that want to be Feds, Feds that want to be States, and when you cut through all the red tape you still have to deal with Litigious, ignorant Americans. Oh and if you want to import or export something just forget it.

"Oh but we have guns" is basically the exception that proves the rule, in a country where people get detained for such crimes as "Being beloved childrens author Mem Fox" or "Said naughty things on reddit" or "Working while waiting for Immigration to sort their status out".

But guns right. Guns. Woohoo freedom yeehaw guns.

Might not be great for the fish tbh.

<subsidised, officially sanctioned by nearly every government, regulated to be easily deployed> technology overtaking <banned by several governments, mired in red tape, with a huge opposing lobby with deep pockets that's part of every group that should be supporting it> technology who would have thunk it.

>They should have smuggled nukes from the collapsed soviet Russia or do whatever was necessary to produce nukes.

The plan in Iran was always self sufficiency.

>Opened a Meta for Business account to try and buy ads. Immediate lifetime ban before taking even a single action.

It let me pay for ads for 2 weeks and then decided I need a temporary ban. Theres no reason posted for the ban. Temporary ban has no end date. Every time I submit a support ticket, they tell me to just chill out and maybe it will end next week. This has been going on 3 years.

>Somehow the anarchists never seem to expect people to use their newfound freedom to erect a new government in place of the old.

Theres so much anarchist writing on this exact topic lmao. It's even the core theme of Le Guin's Dispossessed, with the anarchists replacing a state with an internalised social hierarchy, even while worrying that certain elements of their organisation layer are going to become the government, they rebuild the government.

No anarchist I have ever met has ever thought that one day they turn the government off and thats the end of the job.

No says the man in washington, listening to your own song 10000 times simultaneously is "fraud"

Its just like, 1TB of LLDP/Pings/Probes/Whatever

Looks like nmap OS detection can use ~90kb per host per attempt.

Define "Liberal".

I know conservatives love some kinds of control, and centrist/leftist parties love other kinds of control. Swinging from one to the other gets you both, not neither.

The gang gets used as target practice for a Tomahawk missile.

If its modelled after the Australian Access and Assistance bill, which it probably is, they will just compel the app to provide the capability to gather the data before/after its encrypted/decrypted, and stream it to some kind of logging device the feds install in your rack.
