- Comment on 1 week ago:
Yeah at the time I had a Radeon HD 5850, which I think was a decent price-value balance, and that had 1GB.
- Comment on Lawful evil 1 week ago:
I thought for uber eats the “tip” was a bribe you have to add to your order ahead of time to ensure it even gets picked up?
- Comment on It's insane that there’s no sound barrier on these stations 1 week ago:
I wonder how that layout even happens. Are rails and highways planned together? I guess here in Switzerland the rail lines are mostly much older than the highways.
- Comment on A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley’s billionaires’ wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago 1 week ago:
The math is a bit counter intuitive, but increasing by 5% then decreasing by 5% of the new value does not get you back to the start exactly.
You take a value v, increase it by 5% to 105% of the previous you now have 105% * v. Now you take that new values as the basis for the next calculation, and decrease by 5% to 95% of the previous, you now have 95% * 105% * v which is actually 99.75% * v.
You need to find the day from which their wealth increased by 5.263% so that a 5% tax would bring them back.
But yeah, whatever it doesn’t make a material difference to the argument. A one time tax sounds a bit weird to me, but I don’t live there, Californians should do whatever they can. Maybe a one time tax is a good first domino stone.
- Comment on Equilibrium (2002) 1 week ago:
lol, really? That’s a perfect demonstration then.
The word is a name of a town in the United Kingdom, and contains the vulgar word for female genitals / the friendly Australian greeting as a substring.

- Comment on Skate has been de-live serviced by ReSkate, a modding platform downloaded 350,000 times—devs say they will comply if EA's lawyers come knocking 1 week ago:
Nice try law firm trying to learn our tricks.
- Comment on When picking up a friend at the airport I've always wanted to do this 2 weeks ago:
I think the check would likely say Aylo :-)
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 2 weeks ago:
Thank you for the datapoint! Exactly like my Czech friend said as well.
It makes a lot of sense to me, that you would put a floor on the precision like that.
We often have the question at the counter, like “It’s a few grams over, is that still okay, or should I take some off?”.
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 2 weeks ago:
He got back to me really fast. He says yes!
Yes, you go to shop. To buy a ham for example. And here you fully just say: “10 deka of this”
He also gave me this song text (Michal Tučný - Prodavač with the chorus at 0:41):
Pět deka, deset deka, dvacet deka, třicet deka, kilo chleba, kilo cukru, jeden rohlík, jedna veka, všechno máme, co kdo chcete, obchod kvete, jen si račte říct. Čtyři kila, deset kilo, dvacet kilo, třicet kilo, navážíme, zabalíme, klaníme se, to by bylo, prosím pěkně, mohu nechat o jedenáct deka víc?
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 2 weeks ago:
Interesting, thanks. It’s not familiar to me in my South-Western corner of central Europe. I’ll have to ask my Czech friend if it’s familiar to him.
- Comment on Tiddies are nice but the metric system is better 2 weeks ago:
Centi is familiar to everyone from centi-meter, I have deci in deci-Bel for my optical signals at work, and I know hecto is used for hecto-Pascal which replaced the milli-bar. But I can’t think of one for deka, can anyone give an example of a unit where deka is used often?
- Comment on Anon was a cub scout 3 weeks ago:
Wow that’s certainly a link to make.
Is it a known fact that a cub scout leader molested her, or did she reverse-engineer all that from the transness?
- Comment on Microsoft patent describes in-game advertising triggered by boss fights, loading screens, and cutscenes 4 weeks ago:
Well I guess it’s good they patented it, at least that means the others can’t do it.
I question why they would give their own games such a disadvantage, but whatever
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 4 weeks ago:
Hm now I’m wondering how the volumes compare, between what one truck carries and how much one gas station stores.
I just noticed I have no idea how large those burried tanks are.
- Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours 4 weeks ago:
So this is for truckers transporting gas and diesel.
Are they just trying to look good, or are they trying to minimally lower the price of those products before the midterms? Will it even have an effect? It’s not like the price is high due to the local distribution in the USA.
(Unlike Switzerland where the low water line of the Rhine has actually increased the price of importing the gas, beyond the high price on the world market.)
- Comment on “Tf???” 1 month ago:
I’d say yes. If it’s regular rare it’s interesting for the younglings, if its extra rare it’s interesting even for the experienced.
- Comment on Gotta catch 'em all... 1 month ago:
That island takes up so much mindeshare for many millions of people. Of course someone would spoof their GPS position to propose a PokéStop or Gym there, just for the fun of it.
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 1 month ago:
Not their job
- Comment on Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything 1 month ago:
That seems like a good distribution for digital art and entertainment.
- Comment on sometimes nature is a tattle tale 1 month ago:
Maybe I’m imagining it because I already know they are twins, but their noses do look similar to me
- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 2 months ago:
ISP Network Engineer might be something.
It is my current feeling that the blend of physical work to install devices, with the mental work of planning, configuring, documenting, is kind of protecting the field.
Although maybe we are a bit special in my workplace because we don’t have a separation between planners, NOC, and field team. It’s all just the twelve of us, doing bits of everything. Maybe in the big ISPs things are circling the LLM drain as well.
- Comment on this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it 2 months ago:
Those agents aren’t yours in multiple ways. That’s not how things work.
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 2 months ago:
It’s funny in the first place to argue from what “they allow”. The customer doesn’t have to care about your internal policies, fucko. Fulfill your end of the bargain.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 2 months ago:
I don’t think it makes any sense either:
- Cooling will be large and expensive as hell
- Getting computers there will be expensive
- Getting solar cells there will be expensive
- The radiolink to earthbound networks will be expensive and slow
The only positive is that the energy will be cheap, and that the computers are safe except from nation state actors and untracked space debris.
- Comment on Going Back ↪️🏨 2 months ago:
Deposit at a hotel? I haven’t seen that before.
- Comment on We can save Social Security. Scrap the Cap! 2 months ago:
Anti-social security
- Comment on Correlation == Causation? 2 months ago:
Some of those people might have fallen for scam glasses too
- Comment on Anon institutes the draft 2 months ago:
Hamsters are way heavier, around 200g, unless we’re talking pups or dwarf breeds. That’s around 8 - 12 times the weight of a mouse.
And they are a more compact shape with stubby legs and tails, which I imagine has negative implications for terminal velocity.
