- Comment on How Nissan leveraged its driver assist to cut traffic jams 1 day ago:
Humans could do it too, but there is always this selfish asshole ruining it. We have that exiting Richmond Vancouver area. Everyone is doing 100km/h and there is no congestion ahead, but there is a merge in lane from an alternate route behind, so the asshole sees that as a way to get ahead before the merge in tapers off. So they pull out speed to end of lane, dart in dangerously and have to heavy brake to slow to traffic speed. The reduced space makes the car behind heavy brake and that processes backwards until traffic starts to halt. If asshole had stayed in the flow, there would be no stop on the had highway

You could just Google his comments or listen to his podcasts he promoted violence.
Charles Kirk, the recently killed hard-right Christian nationalist, had been “repeatedly making references to physically assaulting and even lynching trans people on his podcast, the Charlie Kirk Show”.
Sometimes he targeted his violence specifically against trans. Other times, he incited violence more broadly against LGBTQ along with other minority groups.

If you mean as a permanent resident, then a family member who agrees to sponsor you (should you be unemployed and a drain on social services) is super helpful

The company that makes the paint version of VantaBlack licensed it only to one guy to use, the art community felt that was unfair. Thus the pink, and I think a new black etc.etc.
- Comment on Fuck you in particular 4 days ago:
They sell it as a paint, however : “Controversy arose when Surrey Nanosystems granted Anish Kapoor exclusive rights to use Vantablack in artistic applications. Many artists voiced opposition to his monopoly over the substance.”

- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 1 week ago:
For out country to country move it was my dad landing a good job and them sponsoring us to move.
For my move from Ontario to BC, Canada it just took a single visit. The scenery and climate in BC was so much better than Ontario. More People had awareness of the environment being important, bikes were everywhere. Social programs made more sense. It just felt like a more civilized society than Ontario cities.
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 week ago:
You still have to move dirt from source to destination, especially if there are multiple holes
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 week ago:
This is in a personal bank account though not inter company business
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 week ago:
If you think of it in physical terms , when you move something you have to grab it from its source then go to the destination.
Like even moving money to pay for something, you take out of your wallet and hand to the cashier.
Even computer filesystem management is: copy source destination, move source destination

That was my first thought when it was noted that gates had been to the island and then his wife divorced him. She probably learned a lot about Bill suddenly

- Comment on Meta might be secretly scanning your phone's camera roll - how to check and turn it off 2 weeks ago:
For anyone wanting the easy way. You get a pixel phone, you go to the GrapheneOS website, and you plug your phone into your PC and click the buttons in order, and it flashes your phone for you. If you can follow steps of pushing a web button in order, you can have an alternate OS installed in half hour

Alternate OS is the best choice, then you pick and choose apps
- Comment on Microsoft fires 2 employees after they broke into president's office 2 weeks ago:
Obviously a slanted article, the other reports of the two employees being fired was because they had a vigil honouring two people they worked with that were killed in Gaza. They followed all Microsoft’s rules for the gathering and still got fired for it.

The irony is brick was though of as cheap when buildings move to it, from traditional stone blocks. The term “oh, that’s so Redbrick”, was a slam against something that had become cheap or slummy
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 weeks ago:
If its a smart display of analog it could be the hand positions have preprogrammed locations and not that is an accurate and smooth transition between the actual progression.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 weeks ago:
Growing up with only Analog, it just was a quick glance. You didn’t even have to stop and read it, because you glance and have a mental image of the hand positions that you could compare in your head.
Does your watch have clearly marked minutes and a second hand? If its not quite at the minute mark you know its before 9:23, but if its so close you can’t tell then the seconds hand will show you if its before or after the 60seconds spot.
But also, that’s how Analog is, and unless you have a very precise watch, a regular watch will gain or lose time daily and so the preciseness of 9:23 will be invalid anyway.

Everyone deleting will trigger drive activity, rather than just letting it be dormant. Seems counterproductive.
