A court will decline a stay if it’s likely the case will not prevail.

China and other nation states are certainly using this feature to scrap all publicly available content to monitor political discourse.

I doubt Sony/RIAA comes close to that weight.

Because science has been captured by the global mafia who wants to shut off oil imports if some client state decides to get uppity.

This proverbial gun is disabled if there is abundant decentralized power generation they don’t control.

Just look at the oil shutdown at Niger.

Too limited as a chrome plugin. I need an ADHD app that works across devices and watches me from my phone/watch.

If I have to go to my desktop then most of the value is missed.

Cold fusion was replicated by a few labs but that wasn’t good enough for the media and they killed it. For background see 60 minutes episode “Cold Fusion is Hot again” where they interview and admit Pons Fleischmann was right.

The difference now is that China is a super power and doesn’t have to kiss the ring of the US hegemon.

As an example of replication see

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036031992...

There are many paper like this.

The “cold fusion is a hoax” was in itself, a hoax.

Also, the clock speed of CPUs are limited by resistance and heat.

Both of those go to zero. We may see 100ghz CPUs and 3D stacked cpus with almost no need for cooling.

I use Chat GPT 4 for all coding. I’ve learned some amazing prompts that will add features to existing code.

But is that true if the dynamically typed language has type annotations?

Very early stage, but I have a small electronic jewelry project that merges voice sensing electronics to timeless gemstones and bespoke hand wrapped high end jewelry.

The value here is that everyone wants to be more important. A shining crystal that pulses with your voice makes you a celebrity everywhere you go.

Later versions will include an AI assistant that is tuned specifically to keeping you on task and engaged.

The sources have been posted and you can see for yourself that the climate sensors are located at the tarmac airports, many in the pathway of airplane exhaust jets.

Example: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/lcd/

What you are looking for are “authoritative” analysis from the same in group perpetuating this scam, which is circular reasoning and a logical fallacy.

Many authoritative sources outside of this club are rightly pointing out with hard data that this warming is so overstated, fraught with integrity problems (to put it lightly) and conflicts of interests that the entire narrative needs an audit and inclusion of climate scientists that have been locked out of this debate.

No, it’s not dead, the first link is coincidental down for maintenance, per the message on the page.

You can see the archived link here:

The other two links are alive but you need a twitter account to view them.

Keep in mind that half of America can’t participate in politics and news (and others). Their views are deemed wrong think and their accounts are banned.

This is effectively the type of censorship employed by communist regimes like China.

This is all facilitated by the Apollo app and the 3rd party api. The amount of censorship is really depressing. Anything that disrupts this at least a little is a huge win.

Paypal is destroying themselves. I went to J6 protest. Didn’t go to the hot area, but one block away.

Both personal and business accounts were closed with paypal. Personal venmo was cancelled.

The letter they sent me said that they couldn’t tell me why my accounts were closed, and any further correspondence would be ignored unless I contacted their legal department.

It looks like the wrong people are now running the company.

If running a micro service use sqlalchemy and switch your db to sqlite for testing purposes.

There are scalability limits to this but for most cases it works extremely well and is fast.

We aren't talking about the earth being blown off course though, just that there is a large amount of energy that was previously unaccounted for and that this energy is large enough to trigger an earth quake at vulnerable parts.
