Against what? Against consumers that don’t need to pay fees? Against the Brazilian government who is behind the pix?
Poor US companies with billionaires yatches bills to be paid.

- Comment on YSK that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a sex criminal. He was a world class manipulator. He knew how to play a fundamentally rotten business culture better than anyone in New York 1 week ago:
This is a very long article I read a while ago. Basically says everyone is dumb and you’re relatively smart if you flatter everyone.

AI summary below:
I Called Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book (Mother Jones, Oct 2020 Highlights from the article: The “Pseudo-Intellectual” Trap: The journalist notes that many of the world’s most “brilliant” people—scientists, politicians, and billionaires—were lured in by Epstein simply because they were flattered.
The “Mediocrity” of the Elite: The article reinforces the idea that Epstein wasn’t a mastermind so much as a “social climber” who realized that rich people are often bored and looking for the next “smart” person to validate them, making them remarkably easy targets.

Wait, do you mean their parents wanted her to behave like dumb? Or is it they had low expectations of what she could achieve at that age and it lowered her self esteem?
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 1 week ago:
Ah yes pdf is a clusterfuck where anything is valid I think, so minimal redundancy.
Text and image formats are way more lenient and are full of redundancies.
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 1 week ago:
Curious here, this is base 64? And what’s behind it is more often than not an image or text? And you need to do ocr to get the characters?
Maybe for the text it could use a dictionary to rubber stamp whether that zero is actually a letter oh, etc etc?
I’m curious to know what the challenge is and what your approach is.

Well he’s saying snaps are thrash.
So basically you’re telling the snap app to put something in the trash, and snap says “it always has been. Nothing to do here”

I’ve heard of podman quite a bit but never tried it.
Is it truly free and open source?
Does it run only in Linux?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I don’t mind if they destroy 10k copies of Fabio’s books. It’s probably not even half of the print run so for a thing, it’s guaranteed to be no harm because there’s enough copies around.
But when you say destroy ALL books, you’re also talking about rare first edition of whatever Shakespeare did, and manuscripts of Beethoven, and authors that I am fond of but I have no chance to buy used or new, or find in a library, because it’s not popular and/or is in a language that is not from the place I live. And that’s not cool.
So first things first, no single entity can have access to all books. Not even reputable historians would get access to anything they just ask around. Then there’s books that have few copies and no one has any clue where they are. Etc etc.

I tried making a simple edit, and after creating my account I was told it was not happening because my IP was geo blocked.
Tried from office, same thing.
Well, keep your secrets then.

- Comment on It's barely a science. 3 weeks ago:
Economics does run randomised Control trials. Economics does adhere to testable hypotheses. Economics does use rigorous statistics/maths.
Psychology too mate. Both use the scientific method, but the premise that all experiments are under full control doesn’t apply to them.

Well sure they don’t have to, but this makes it much easier to adopt.

Nice article, but sounds like he only had access to conversations available to every single government employee? He wasn’t able to crack into any direct messages or channels that he didn’t get an invite for.

- Comment on China completes first full-scale underwater pumped storage trial at 65 meters depth 3 weeks ago:
Oh now I found time to read the article. I thought they would sink and rise hollowed balls, when they actually keep the balls down and pump water in and out of them.
I wonder if they are heavier than water, so you just need a small anchor to prevent drifting.
- Comment on China completes first full-scale underwater pumped storage trial at 65 meters depth 3 weeks ago:
I would still guess lifting water through pipes (specially if the reservoir is uphill in a mountain) is way easier than building something chained at the bottom of the ocean, which would need pulleys and a big heavy weight down there.

Meh, how much oil do they have anyways? It’s probably just cheaper to buy next elections. That would be the traditional, rational, incremental bullying action.

- Comment on Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’ 3 weeks ago:
That’s just idiot grifter CEOs afraid of being left behind because they believed hype in the media. Not happening in the timescale that they want, but by 2033 the trend will be easy to spot. And it will be nowhere near the current claims.
