Really the correct unit is Joules, but try convincing anyone of that.

Watt-hours and joules are the same thing, and you are indeed technically correct, but you'll get funny looks if you ask to buy an 18MJ BESS for your home...

Renewables don't have the same level of external dependence on a constant flow of instantaneously used fuel. So while I do agree with you, it is an energy issue regardless of your politics.

Sync is good, but they also have a great git plugin. One big advantage of local text based notes is that you can just source control them and set up quick shortcuts to commit, push and pull; as well as setting up automations to do that automatically when you open the app.

This is highly dependent on the user (Mine is a god damn mess) :D.

Or us dyslexics, I don't mind having the robot check and rephrase my work.

They now also own xAI

Which in turn owns Twitter. SpaceX is now a social media company in addition to a rocket company.

One theory I think Matt Levine posited, is that SpaceX will go public with dual-class stock that gives Elon control even with a minority ownership stake, and will subsequently buy Tesla, which doesn't have dual class stock, making SpaceX the singular "Elon Musk company", with him having operational control despite being public.

That theory aligns with Elon's long-held dream of X as the "Everything Company".

Then he'll rebrand SpaceX to " X" (a space followed by an X).

Agreed, we should also nationalise resource extraction and put the funds in there. Canadian resources should be for Canadians.

No.

Historically, this just ends up with Toronto and Montreal (and to a more limited extent, Vancouver) treating the rest of the country as a resource colony. The pretense that consent of the governed is equally geographically distributed is, naturally, very useful to you.

If you do that again, as you did in the '60s, Canada will only be Toronto and Montreal.

So, where most Canadians live?

There’s a reconciliation dimension that complicates that framing, at least in BC.

This feels not unlike talos linux, but for single instances over k8s containers. Pretty neat.

Yes, it is a single Docker Engine instance. But Lightwhale fully supports Docker Swarm, so you can easily build a lightweight cluster as well.

You think you've got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don't try to answer that. I'm fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

> offshore jurisdictions and uses crypto.

This vastly increases the barrier to entry for the normal person though. Is your position that just because laws don't work 100% of the time we shouldn't bother with them?

I didn't say that, you said that.

They didn't say you said it.

But wow what a useless way of conversing that is. They asked because it's unclear what you're implying. So could you please clarify if you think regulation would be useful? Or should be done despite being futile? Or shouldn't be done? I can only think of those three answers, is there another?

I think smart policy would be a good start. I just made a comment on the sign of our times. I could have worded my one line reply better. I do think it will be difficult to regulate as I don't see a political appetite to do so. Maybe some countries will get it right.

For the record, I do agree with this perspective at least from an external observer of the US. Many places already regulate these types of gambling much better. What I mostly took issue with is what I read to be a resolute throwing up of the hands of any action being useless.

It is indeed unfortunate that the level of corruption in the current US administration likely precludes any action on it in the current term.

not since like 2015, they're soldered on to the mainboard
