People want news. It’s a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.

Perhaps when you say “news organizations” you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a “privately owned news organization”? That’s a dramatically different question though.

An AI message for dating? Have people just given up on living?

Believe it or not, authoritarian regimes are less stable than democracies.

Imagine living in a society where we collectively decide some people just get all the privilege to themselves, and the rest of us can just roll around in the mud, and everyone is ok and happy with that.

Python is just distancing itself from JS.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Inventions are only good when they reliably work for all the intended solutions.

The good news is the first few pounds are the easiest to lose.

The bad news is that you will not see a meaningful difference in just a week, or even one month, not enough to be the only thing keeping you motivated, at least. Depending on what you are after, caloric weight-loss might not even be enough to reach a very specific look, though it will go a long way.

My advice to you: find a way to stay motivated that is not based on results. This needs to be a new mindset, a journey you are undergoing. You’ll need a sizable adjustment to your routine. Find a laborious project you are excited about to keep you off the couch and on your feet.

Most importantly, realize that weight loss is almost all about what you eat. It’s very hard to go on a caloric deficit just by exercising, because a) exercising will make you more hungry, b) will convert fat to muscle which is heavier (though leaner), and c) it’s a LOT more work and time. Instead, physical activity is more of a way of attaining a deficit without an extremely boring diet of lettuce and it also takes away opportunities to eat out of boredom.

You’ll feel more hungry than you are used to, especially in the first couple of weeks as your body learns a new metabolic normal. Drink lots of water to both stay hydrated, and to feel full.

I’m using off-the shelf CT-clamps with an ESP. Obviously it’s a fair amount more work, but it’s cheaper than a commercial solution, fully offline and no subscriptions, you know exactly what you are getting, and you can build a solution that is just the right size for your application, and infinitely modifiable if your needs change.

Surely the SVGO package can be compiled into a browser bundle.

I might look into this myself…

Does this support SVG, i.e. SVGOMG/SVGO? If not, that’s a glaring omission.

Horses can go places cars cannot. You have completely missed the point.

Right. The only difference between a tariff and a VAT, is that the VAT applies to all products indiscriminately, where as a tariff only applies to imported goods.

Cool. Now do the USA next.

He’s just a snake oil salesman looking to cause a problem to sell the solution. Just the usual conman shit, but at a national level.

Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.

Post-truth society sucks.

Is it built by Tesla, Meta, Boeing, or some other American corp?

Nope, nope, nope.

Tried a couple matter devices. Ended up having to create an account with the manufacturer. Was there truly a local option? Who knows. So far I haven’t been impressed.

Unhappily married couple, so focused on avoiding misery for a few months of divorce proceedings, decide instead to live miserable every day for the next 30 years.

A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.
