I think once upon a time, some dumb politician used it to announce something dumb and it didn’t work lol

Needs based support is definitely a good thing, but that’s not what SS is. That’s closer to welfare and would require a much deeper look into people’s financial situation than a retirement program like SS.

I could make $500k/yr while working then experience some disaster/disability that takes it all away. Conversely, I could be homeless then suddenly come into massive wealth later in my life. Or, I could live a lavish life because my parents/SO are extremely wealthy, yet I am dirt poor on paper. SS is not designed for these situations, and attempting to modify it to fit them is probably a worse idea than bolstering other entitlement programs that are designed to fill in the gaps.

Wouldn’t removing the cap just delay the issue? You get more out of SS the more you put in. The cap exists because there is a maximum amount you can get out of SS. If they remove the input cap, then that implies they’d remove the output cap too. In which case, the immediate result is a lot more money flowing into SS, but over time, a whole lot more money will start flowing out, too.

We should follow Calculus’s example and represent all lowercase l’s as ℓ

Or just add serifs to I even in sans serif fonts

I was assuming it was all uppercase

Only if you’re using a bad font that doesn’t differentiate between I and l

I, for one, welcome our all-almost-knowing trade-secret-leaking waste-of-time-and-resources LLM overlords

“Data will not leak across workspaces because trust us.”

Yeah, and every other LLM has demonstrated such great abilities to avoid reproducing training material 🙄

The measure signed by DeSantis would also launch a study of small nuclear reactor technology, expand the use of vehicles powered by hydrogen and enhance electric grid security, according to the governor’s office.

Got some whiplash at the end there after reading some of the most dumbass policies that’ve ever been written.

8 dead and 40 hospitalized with a high probability that more will die all because some bozo decided to drive drunk? It wasn’t even a real “truck”, just a pickup truck. Absolute nightmare scenario.

If you order online, Subway always has a coupon to get footlongs for ~$7, which is about $5 from 2010 adjusted for inflation. They have a lot of perpetual coupons that they rotate the codes on about once per month, but there’s always an up-to-date list on the subway subreddit.

Schedule I is reserved for only the most vile drugs, like LSD!

ReVanced, NewPipe, SmartTube. You’re correct that their mobile browser experience sucks.

He’s a person? First I’m hearing of this.

I do NOT consent to Elon flashing me for $250k 😉

If you’re worried about unauthorized access to the physical machine, you could always just do disk-level encryption instead or store the app’s data in something like a Veracrypt virtual disk. They’d still be able to access the data if they go through your OS/user, but wouldn’t pick anything up by accessing the drive directly.

Nothing short of E2EE can truly stop someone from accessing your data if they have physical access to the server, but disk encryption would require a targeted attack to break, and no host is wasting their time targeting your meme server. I seriously doubt they’d access it even if you had no encryption at all, since if they get caught doing that they’d get in a heap of legal trouble and lose a ton of business.

Oh, it’s drag-and-drop only with no keyboard support whatsoever. Changing a variable is hidden beneath 12 menus, and it uses a proprietary IDE that locks up after every click. Looks great in screenshots though!

You can 100% fire all your developers!*

*As long as your business users have loads of free time and the skillset of developers.

Is DDOSing really a problem anymore? Any CDN worth their salt should handle even massive DDOS attacks no problem.
