The lemmy instance you choose (for example, you chose .ml) to join will have its own tone, flavor, rules, politics. You will find instances that are left, right, and center. Additionally you will find some that are VERY far-left or VERY far-right. If you are finding the tone for the lemmy community (equivalent of reddit subreddit) different that your position, it may be because its hosted and moderated on an instance with that particular bend.

You may also experience some judgment from others because of the instance you are coming from as it can communicate some of your positional bias. Some users have chosen to relocate to other lemmy instances once they get an understanding of what ideas live where.

All of that said, while lemmy and the fediverse has a much smaller userbase than Reddit, it is so much nicer here. My last post to reddit was over 2 years ago, and every post I hear about how bad it is getting over there confirms this is the better place here.

He is asking people for help.

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

There’s a Canadian show called Transplant that feels VERY MUCH like the ER TV show from the 90s. Season 1 is really good. We were disappointed by Season 2 and 3 through. Were I you, I’d stop at the end of Season 1.

Why in the world would anyone hog tie someone like that and then write shit about trump on her?

Many MAGAts that face social consequences for their MAGAtism cry victim and and then circled with attention and monetary support by other MAGAts. Since they aren’t actually victims and they want the attention, they manufacture the victim status.

Sadly this isn’t confined to MAGAts. Actor Jussie Smollett did the same thing attempting to manufacture victimhood of a hate crime. What really angers me about Smollett is that there are real victims of race based hate crimes and his antics cast doubt on those other real victim’s situations.

BTW you missed a colon at the end of your if statement on line 341. Also you used irregular whitespace on another line, but I’ll let you find that one yourself, as a treat.

Creating electricity is surprisingly easy. Copper and Zinc were widely available for centuries before electricity and the only other item you need is an acid. Nitric acid was being made back in the 13th century. Arrange a copper bar and a zinc bar separated from one another with an insulator (glass, ceramic, or even wood) in a glass or ceramic jar. Pour in the acid submerging most of the bars with some expose above the acid. You now have a battery with the anode and cathode (positive and negative terminals) being the top of the bars.

Barely slightly more sophisticated batteries than this powered telegraph offices for powering Morse code sending keys.

You gotta find a better way to present this other than making it sound like Torvalds is a baby taking a shit. “The one who makes” I’m dead.

Its capitalized “Makes” which I took to mean a proper name instead of the verb. So this is referring to the GNU compiler Make. Since this is posted in /c/linuxmemes, I think its a safe post for the audience to know the difference.

Yep, thanks for the fact check. Peter Theil is certainly a trump advisor helping shape policy but he doesn’t hold an government office. I’ve corrected my post.

Edit: Redacted a mistaken identity

I’m not sure you understand what this article is or how our markets work.

The simple fact that somebody was able even to bet a billion is insanity that should never be possible to begin with. Nobody should have a billion dollars, let alone have so much that you can just safely bet a billion dollars

He doesn’t have a billion dollars. He’s a hedge fund manager that manages (at least) a billion dollars collectively of other people’s investment money. Its that money he’s betting.

Them he’s betting.yhst the economy will crash, basically, and we’re okay with that shit.

No, he’s not. He’s betting against only two companies: Nvidia and Palantir. He has a relatively small bet against Nvidia ($187.6 million), and HUGE bet against Palantir ($912 million). I’m not sure I’d bet against Nvidia yet, but Palantir is co-founded by Peter Theil, trump’s deputy chief of staff which job has a large influence on White House policy. If you ever watched the TV show The West Wing, this would be the Josh Lyman character’s job.

We already know trump’s favor swings widely and if politics are going against trump (as recent news show) then its not unbelievable that Theil might get the boot or at least trump would punish Theil by killing lucrative government contracts to buy Palantir services.

All of this should be illegal as fuck, and this guy belongs in a jail cell

The point of shorting a stock exists so that the market can express a view that they believe a stock will fail. This is an important “canary in the coal mine” for the rest of the market. The other option is a policy that you can’t criticize a company with any meaning and investors continue to put money into failing/risky companies without this important indication of the risk.

Frankly I don’t like your idea of jailing someone that says “The emperor has no clothes”.

The fact that he was even able to make that bet is incredible. How deluded do you have to be to think the AI bubble won’t burst?

Nobody believes the AI investment/growth trajectory we have right now will continue for infinity. What nobody knows is: when the correction will occur.

• Do you pull your investments out now and sit on the sidelines waiting for the fallout while your principal loses value daily from inflation?
• What does the correction look like when it happens? Does all the value evaporate on day 1, the first week, a month? This is important to figure out for this strategy to know when to go back in.

This is the info/decisions you’d need as an average investor. What Burry is doing is the riskiest type of investments with shorting the market. If growth continue to occur he and his fund will have to pay for the growth to those whose shares he borrowed to short.

In summary, its not enough to know that a bubble exists, but to profit from it you have to figure out when it will burst and when the full burst is done.

For the purposes of framing your question, are you meaning:

• commit to a single person in a monogamous relationship long term?

or

• commit to a legal construct of a relationship such as marriage?

There are different answers for each.

You’re a single player I see.

Another American family that also went to Russia is featured in the article:

“It was the promise of a country that would not promote the LGBT agenda. We liked the fact that LGBT is basically outlawed here in official ways,” Leo Hare, 62

They say their initial plan to rent an apartment in Moscow fell through just as they boarded the plane from Texas, and the family spent a bitterly cold winter caring for chickens, horses and rabbits on a farm 70 miles south of Moscow in exchange for free board. At one point, they even had to bring the goats and their newborns inside their cabin to keep the animals from dying.

They are literally living indoors with livestock to avoid LGBT references in popular culture they experienced in America.

Leo Hare thought their troubles were over when their landlord’s son offered a generous interest rate for investing their $50,000 nest egg in what he described as a car import business. But they only saw one payment before he stopped sending them money and refused to return their money, Leo Hare said.

Sometimes gullible people just broadcast that fact themselves.

There’s a huge gulf between pub clowd and shitty on-prem.

We agree on this.

Redundant everything piped in. Redundant everything set up. We run VMs by terraform. Wheeeeee

For that customer of yours, is that a single datacenter or does is represent multiple datacenters separated by a large distance across a nation, or perhaps even across national borders?

Point is, posing shitty on-prem as the alternative to the clowd is moving the goalposts a bit.

I think ignoring that shitty on-prem represented a large part of IT infrastructure prior cloud providers is ignoring a critical point. Was it possible to have well-run enterprise IT data centers prior to cloud? Sure. Was everyone doing that? Absolutely not, I’d argue the majority had at least a certain level of jank in their infra and that that floor is raised with cloud providers. Just the basic facilities is enterprise grade irrespective of the server or app config.

That work is still being done by someone in a data centre. But all these jobs went from in-house positions to the centres.

The difference is scale. When in-house, the person responsible for managing the glycol loop is also responsible for the other CRACs, possibly the power rails, and likely the fire suppression. In a giant provider, each one of those is its own team with dozens or hundreds of people that specialize in only their area. They can spend 100% on their one area of responsibilty instead of having to wear multiple hats. The small the company, the more hats people have to wear, and the worse to overall result is because of being spread to thin.

We need to ditch cloud entirety and go in house again.

For many many companies that would be returning to the bad-old-days.

I don’t miss getting an emergency page during the Thanksgiving meal because there’s excessive temperature being reported in the in-house datacenter. Going into the office and finding the CRAC failed and its now 105 degree F. And you knew the CRAC preventive maintenance was overdue and management wouldn’t approve the cost to get it serviced even though you’ve been asking for it for more than 6 months. You also know with this high temp event, you’re going to have an increased rate of hard drive failures over the next year.

No thank you.

The left begins at socialism.

If you’re talking about the political spectrum I would think the extreme far left would begin at anarchism and eventually graduate to socialism as you move farther right.

The scary part of this one is that previously, we had administrations that, while still being right-of-center (yes ML, I know), had at least enough sense to prop things up well enough to recover.

I’ll admit I haven’t cataloged all financial crises in American history, but I can’t think of any right-of-center administrations that have cleaned up a things for a recovery. Perhaps only exception might be the Oil Crisis under Carter, and the recovery under Reagan. Great depression, Black Monday, Great Recession, COVID recession, all happened under right-of-center Presidents and recovered under left-of-center Presidents.
