Now if you purchased something, then got the ads afterwards and they counted it retroactively then they would be abusing it. I’m 99% sure they do that.

That explains everything!

No doubt their ads are monthly/quarterly purchases. So Google reports the end of month “conversions” when in reality it’s ads shown during the month but happened after the sale.

I could get behind that sign. ALL. Everyone but Native Americans need to be sent back where they came from. “Hispanics” are native Americans. They were in the Americas for 10,000+ years.

It was no coincidence that pizza gate was started exactly when Trump’s pedophilia story was gaining traction because a woman accused Trump of raping her.

“This can’t be real. Checks URL again.”

Dude! I was doing the same thing. I kept thinking, “Is this some new form of prank that hides the url somehow?”

No. Those can be useful. This can only hold your phone.

This is 100% ironic bait.

But to answer the question, you shouldn’t use headphones because they are dependent on your phone. You use this because it runs on its own D Cells and doesn’t need cell service.

Keeping good music to yourself is rude.

Network TV is still at 20 episodes per year.

Anthologies have been very popular. Change up the cast every year. That keeps costs down even more.

Thiel told them how to rule.

Bitcoin trashed the GPU market before moving on to Asics. Then other coins kept going on GPUs.

Like there won’t be some other hype to immediately take it’s place. Just like Bitcoin GPU prices never collapsed because it went right into AI hype.

A “milestone” is getting more self driving vehicles on the road. When the bonus was announced last month, he redefined what Tesla means by “Self Driving”.

If doing more makes it better then regular docker desktop does that too. Or apt-get.

I don’t use either but they aren’t the same thing to suggest one is a substitute for the other. Omv has self hosting services that it installs for you. Dokploy is docker manager.

Techs like to deride sales and managers for incompetence. But Oracle is proof that salesmanship and suits can take garbage and make billions.

I remember around 1990 when Oracle handled their tech problems by making it illegal to review their product. ( You had to purchase their product to use it or be sued. And the purchase agreement required that you not publish a review of the product without their approval or be sued.)

What do you mean by Machiavellian? Your question would be like asking, are there any smartphone keyboards that aren’t Machiavellian. It’s a text prediction tool.

There won’t ever be a draft unless it’s a real war with China or equivalent. The US won Iraq without a draft.

This sort of happened when AWS crashed. I called in my order for my favorite Greek salad and they said they only took cash because payments were down. I fortunately had cash. While waiting for pickup, people came in and couldn’t order because they didn’t have cash.

Electricity and magnetism are the exact same thing. A non moving charge creates an observed static electric field. A moving charge creates an observed magnetic field. So if you were moving next to the charge as it went down a wire, you would see no charge moving. No charge moving means no magnetic field.

They only look different because things get distorted moving at near light speed relative to you. It would be like if we gave two different names to a police siren based on whether you were listening standing next to it or listening as it zoomed past you.

As the article describes, it wasn’t so much that the vacuum sent the map because it didn’t have the local processing to work without it. The problem was that their servers sent a remote kill packet to his vacuum whenever he blocked it from sharing his data. So his vacuum would completely stop until he sent it back for service.

Those of us elderly folks who lived through the 80s and 90s laugh at thisr AI shill propaganda.

Dude. I’m not only old but I worked for Vint Cerf and later was president of one of the companies mass mailing CD’s to everyone. I ran so many commercials on TV that I had a customer call up and say, “please stop!” Sports stadiums were named after ISPs. Road names were changed to names of ISPs. It was a massive advertising push because people were buying. The only thing that has outstripped Internet adoption rates is AI adoption rates which is why there’s an even bigger advertising push.

I have tried AI but don’t generally use it. I don’t use Facebook either. But I’m not going to pretend people don’t use Facebook because I don’t like it and don’t use it.
