Maybe something could be hacked together to fix copyright, but further complication there is just going to make accurate enforcement even harder. And we already have Google (in YouTube) already doing a shitty job of it and that’s… One of the largest companies on earth.

We should just kill copyright. Yes, it’ll disrupt Hollywood. Yes it’ll disrupt the music industry. Yes it’ll make it even harder to be successful or wealthy as an author. But this is going to happen one way or the other so long as AI can be trained on copyrighted works (and maybe even if not). We might as well get started on the transition early.

Ah you’re right. Torterra then

I imagine it’ll look like paras

And my toes too, just to be sure

Sounds fun actually

Oh shit it might be working

2.5M sounds ok to me. Even 10M would get the 99.9% of the benefit. The important part is that it’s capped.

If you’ve never seen a hurricane masturbate before, it’s definitely worth the trip. It’s got a certain majestic beauty to it that is yet to be captured by any portrait, photo or video.

Rufus is great! I worked with the maintainer to fix a bug in hardware they didn’t have and it was a very pleasant experience.

You should be allowed to do that.

I like to throw a bullion cube in there too.

How much do you blame Germans? As in the ones from 1940s?

We might not have started killing people yet but the signs are here, for anyone who cares to know their history. We had a Nazi salute at the inauguration for Christ sake.

Yeah. It’s shocking that your friends and neighbors are party to this. It was to many Germans too.

That sounds like cannibalism with extra steps.

Tasty tasty cannibalism

Play around with this for a bit: https://networthify.com/calculator/earlyretirement?income=50000&initialBalance=0&expenses=20000&annualPct=5&withdrawalRate=4

Consider spending 30k yearly when you’re earning 50k. You can retire in about 20 years if you keep to that. You really gotta keep to it though, spending 40k means you’d have to work almost 40 years instead.

Now compare that to spending 30k when making 100k. Now you can retire in 9 years. Even if you have to spend literally twice as much time+effort doing so, you end up with more of your life leftover.

This is not to say that you should take a job you hate, but rather to say that making more money does make your life better, but only up to a point. If you find a job that you genuinely enjoy, great do that. If you’re picking between different things you dislike, translate it back into years instead of trying to understand it in made up funny money numbers. And when you get there, stop.

To be fair you have to have a high IQ to enjoy dipping your nuggies

I could really use a little more rifling in the barrel

Have you ever heard of a drop bear?

Protip: you can actually just write your ansible (or any yaml really( as JSON.

That seems absurdly low. Are you sure that all of your criteria are non-negotiable? And entirely uncorrelated?

Unseasonably mad

Wicked smaht. And generally good genes - no family illnesses or anything.
