Can't even buy chicken in peace
It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

Amsterdam: Speed limit will be 30 km/h on most roads from today
City's like Amsterdam are not build for cars. They are allowed but it is mostly people on foot and bicycles. Going over 30 is not possible and dangerous.

VPN by Google One is shutting down for good
I have this vpn because it comes for free with my Google Drive subscription. I have never used it because it does not do what I expect it to do

When "I fits, I sits" goes too far
At least it had the decency too stay on it. Could have sit on it for a minute, walk away and then watch you eat it.

Instagram finds that AI Mr beast scams do not go against community guidelines.
Same with YouTube ads. Lots of scam's and reporting it always ends in my report getting denied..

One company found that too much JavaScript costs them $700,000 per year, per kilobyte.
Also all the tracking and analysis tools that are integrated in most ecommerce are huge. We made a website for a company that was really fast and snappy. Then they added all their tools and it turned into a slug.

Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?
My theory is that they try to push the line on what is acceptable. For example, if you want something say you want 11 but what is acceptable is between 1 and 10. Then an 11 is not possible. But if you normalize 15 and keep pushing that, then 11 doesn't seem so unreasonable after a while.
I see this being done constantly. Say that your plan is to do something extreme (take Canada), everyone panics and then get what you actually wanted. If nobody reacts, do the extreme thing.

Sometimes we create our own problems.
Why not do something with all that power? In the past there were some projects where they pumped water upstream when there was too much power on the grid. Then on low energy times, the water was released making energy again. Or make hydrogen (I think it was hydrogen). Or do AI stuff
I also seen energie waste machines that basically use a lot of power to do nothing. Only the get rid of all that extra energy so the power grid won't go down/burn.

Why *is* everything going to shit?
I personally think that everything has always gone to shit. But in the downfall, new things will take over until that goes to shit. Or maybe because there are new things the old things will go down.
Take the example of video stores. They used the be the best thing ever. Rent all the movies you would like to see for a small fee per movie. Then downloading and streaming came along. Streaming was cheaper and more convenient. Result: video renting business went to shit.
Then the streaming services started to raise their prices. It started going to shit. Soon new ideas/companies/services will swoop in and the cycle will repeat again.

If investing in the S&P 500 is such a surefire way to make money, then why isn't everyone doing it?
Investing is something you do for the long run. Investing today and getting it all out in a month will probably make you lose money. The market will always go up and down but zooming out, it will go up. Investing in the long run will make you money. Investing in the short run, will make you vulnerable for market ups and downs.
So my tip is, invest a monthly a fixed amount of money every month (dollar-cost average) and don't touch it for the next 5 years. Yes, also keep your hands off it when the market is going down.

Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?
That is a long time ago that I have heard anyone say that. Wasn't there a client software called DC++ or something like that?

Why limit immigration?
It depends on the kind of immigrant. You have students, high educated workforce, people that flee from war/not safe to stay country and people that just want a (economic) better life.
I think too much of any immigration can cause maybe an issue that the majority of people are new and that the culture (how do we interact with each other, what is acceptable behavior etc) has not settled.

If I can stop whenever (without payment), sign me up. It will be boring tho.. Very boring. Probably will need to keep my mind occupied because that situation can make you go crazy.

Maybe but it also means that if a company needs a datacenter with 1000 gpu's to do it's AI tasks demand, it will now buy 500.
Next year it might need more but then AMD could have better gpu's.
