A pimp is effectively, a manager for sex workers. They handle security and advertisement, and in return get a cut of the earnings.

Car dealers are salespeople.

Then why not sink his ship five minutes from his home?

Which sort of paints Poseidon as incompetent. You’d imagine that the God of the sea would be able to reliably kill people at sea.

It’s nice that they accommodate his condition by letting him work from home.

Does that mean the Suez canal gets blocked?

Thing being, even the cheap models don’t offer good value for money. Once the big players run out of money, the whole thing will collapse.

Well, if you download an installer from gog and save it to a disk, it’s yours forever, regardless of what gog does. Of course, the window to do so might close with very short notice.

Moore’s law ended. Stuff done in 15 couldn’t be done in 5. But there’s not much we can do now that we couldn’t do 15.

Even the companies displaying the ads can’t always tell why a particular ad was displayed to a particular person.

Let’s see.

1. Economic and strategic oil reserves are declining fast, with seemingly no effort to conserve oil. Thanks to the war with Iran.
2. The only reason the US is not in a recession yet is because of AI, which is not profitable, and destined to crash.
3. Other nations are slowly divesting from US treasuries, limiting the financial options.
4. Infrastructure has been rotting for decades, and it’s starting to break down.
5. Climate change has started to produce dangerous heat waves and other extreme weather, further straining infrastructure.

Anyway, that’s what I can think of from the top of my head.

Like what?

You’d need self discipline to be Batman.

Black body radiation is a real, but it’s an extremely inefficient way to get rid of excess heat. So you’d need huge radiators to get enough surface area.

Add to this the fact that terrestrial data centers operate at a loss, and there’s no way to run a space based one profitably.

Plot out the sun, obviously.

Godot is a game engine without any AI tools. At least none that I’m aware of.

Yes, but we need to be aware that it would get worse temporarily, and a lot of services we’re used to be being free would no longer be free. For example, Youtube would probably become a paid service.

There’s a theory that targeted ads are severely less effective than assumed amongst advertisers, and that traditional “spray and pray” advertisement is just as effective, but a whole lot cheaper. Essentially, targeted ads frequently target people who are already aware of the product, have already decided to buy it, or have already bought it. So, basically, company’s are overpaying for ads, and if they ever stop, the advertisement based internet is in trouble.

Israel 🇮🇱 will probably violate this clause and cause the war to continue.

Please drink a verification can.

Well, the less money people have, the more of their income they spend. This means that maximum spending would be achieved when all income is equally distributed. Hence, as money concentrates at the top, consumer spending drops, which reduces the number of viable businesses, but at the same makes more capital available, since people tend to invest money they don’t spend.

Since people in general aren’t that good at telling whether an idea will pan out or not, as capital starts concentrating at the top, dumb ideas are more likely to attract a ton of funding. Add to that that spectacular ideas attract more funding, while at the same time tending to be bad ideas.

Essentially, Elon Musk’s businesses are valued so highly because his promises of AGI and space colonization are already being priced in as if they were real, existing things, instead of pipe dreams.
