Odd that you put the doggy diddling in the headline but omit the child abuse

Hollywood writers and studios reach tentative deal to end strike after nearly 150 days
TLDR: "Television and film writers sought protections against the use of artificial intelligence, in addition to increases in compensation for streamed content.
The WGA did not disclose what provisions ultimately made it into the preliminary contract, but told union members that “this deal is exceptional – with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.””

North Korea to 'expel' US soldier Travis King, who crossed from South, state media reports

I think their hands are kind of tied. He's not a valuable asset, he is a fuckup. He doesn't hold the same value as a random citizen tourist that didn't have the intention of defecting. He's not in a position to provide valuable intel. They either kick him out or treat him like a god and let him go home to tell everyone how awesome North Korea is. Punishing him only hurts their image.

It certainly is one of them. You can’t virtually close an entire sector of jobs all at once without serious repercussions to the economy.

There’s other factors too, such as children, schooling, internet connectivity, social circle, relatives, weather, etc.

The convenience of .NET
Microsoft deserves some credit for keeping .net relevant over the years. With a new JS framework popping out every ten minutes and the rise of PWA’s, it’s pretty remarkable

I pay a ridiculously high amount for rent. An equivalent mortgage a decade ago would have put me in a very large property. I pay much more for rent than anyone I know who owns. But I cant afford a house 🤷🏻♂️

Apple used billions of dollars and thousands of engineers on a ‘spectacular failure,’ WSJ reports
Reply in thread
It's absolutely clickbaot IMO. The phrasing alone gives it away. Regardless, there was massive garbage rumors and hate when it was leaked that Apple was making their own chip for macOS. The M-series chips have been phenomenal, which might be their own enemy in this case by setting the expectations too high. You're definitely right about the long term implications though, if I was an investor, I would take this as a net positive to hold.

I don't think it's that controversial unless you're hardcore conservative. Realistically he just laid out the view of most of the Libertarian party. Nothing he said denotes woke or communist except for the part or him claiming to be one. I'd like to see the full context, because that woke communist comment probably wasn't directed at Linus’ views

A walk around Antibes with my XT3 and Sigma 16 mm 1.4, let me know what you think please, thanks.
Just a non photographer random internet guy who stumbled upon this post here, I dig it but I think there’s too much brightness/white going on. Especially with the top of the boats where it all sort of blends together. I’m also in a dark room at night getting ready for bed, so maybe it’s just my eyes not adjusting right 🤷🏻♂️
Still it’s a cool picture for sure

Just made the switch to NextDNS. For $2/month I get a lot of the same features but also on my phone when not on WiFi. Still love my pihole though!

Target. Walmart, Amazon, UPS,Lays, Annheiser-Bush …just a few companies who have already begun testing automated replacements. If you think they aren’t all biting at the bit to pull the trigger on this the second they can, you’re naive. They’ll see insane overhead price reductions and increased productivity, all leading to higher profit margins. The slow change already started years ago. You can retrofit an existing big rig for less than half the salary of a driver and utilize 3x the work hours.

Anyone who uses FSD on their Tesla would happily tell you it’s not even close to being safe yet. Hell if anything I’m MORE attentive when using the autopilot because it can be so sketch sometimes.

At least give some kind of mention to Henry George for being the magnificent bastard that came up with this. His history is fascinating and most people don't know who he is because he pissed off all the major landowners (ivy league colleges) who blackballed even mention of his name.
