That’s actually the exact reason democrats are fighting him.

cogman@lemmy.worldto Bluesky@lemmy.world•We just had a political assassination and still...123·18 days agoI agree. Everyone should be involved and informed on how to maximize the power of their vote wherever they live. Ideally, you get plugged in with someone like the DSA and vote their endorsements.
Sadly too many people fall for spoiler candidates which is part of the reason it’s so hard to unseat an incumbent.
cogman@lemmy.worldto Bluesky@lemmy.world•We just had a political assassination and still...1634·18 days agoDems don’t need to go low. They need to stop chasing conservative voters.
The reason they are so timid on everything is because the consultant class has convinced them that if they are just a bit more right wing, they’ll win the next election.
If Dems fired the consultants and chased the working class, they’d win big time. People hate the Dems because they are corporate captured.
cogman@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Me when people are cheering on Iran, a country that literally executes gay people272·21 days agoIran has problems, for sure, however it’s hardly the worst state in the region. In fact, on multiple occasions they’ve been willing to work with the UN and US to try and rejoin the international community.
The issue is both Israel and the US have acted like utter asses towards them.
Obama’s nuclear deal showed just how willing they were to engage in diplomacy. Even after Trump killed the deal, Iran was saying they’d be willing to renter again.
And frankly, the reason for Israel’s attack was almost surely because the Trump admin was again getting close to signing another nuclear deal.
There’s way too much conflating of Islamic nations and their policies. Iran isn’t perfect or great, but it is better than a fair number of the regions governments including many current allies.

It’d frankly be dead cheap for a billionaire to setup and run a progressive newspaper and/or fund a hundred YouTube progressives and progressive politicians.
Heck, they could setup and operate a general union fund and support union campaigns and union relief funds. They could indefinitely support striking workforce. Doing that just once would completely change how companies interact with unions.

He could have seen another trial, but it’d be with a new jury.
Arbitration is usually faster and cheaper than setting up a brand new trial.
cogman@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Walz Calls on Dems to ‘Bully the S**t’ Out of Trump or Risk Becoming ‘Roadkill’4·1 month agoThey don’t have the votes to pass a law, they do have the votes to stop laws from being passed. Further, the Republicans just killed a rule that allows 30 senators to block all bills by challenging executive decisions. The Republicans killed the rule to roll back a Biden admin decision to allow California stricter emission standards. Every challenge requires a mandatory 10h of debate. There are about 100 years worth of Trump admin decisions Dems can challenge to block the upcoming budget bill.
Will they do that? Probably not, because they rolled over on the CR when they could have easily filibustered it.
And yes, Schumer knows about this, he wrote an open letter warning Republicans not kill the rule.
This is what I hate about the Democrats. They’ll happily roll over, yet I guarantee you the Republicans will abuse the hell out of this rule if a Dem president gets into office.
cogman@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Walz Calls on Dems to ‘Bully the S**t’ Out of Trump or Risk Becoming ‘Roadkill’16·1 month agoExactly.
The senate is particularly bad. Schumer is basically MIA and is effectively rolling over because thinks letting republicans get everything they want somehow looks good for him.
Clean code is more expensive than shit. That adds to the problem.
Nope.
The reason you do react native is because it’s easier to hire react native devs. Further, there’s a plethora of react native libraries that make it easier to make UXes above other UX frameworks.
The problem MS has is they have spent decades making platform locked UX frameworks because they were deathly afraid someone would use Linux instead of Windows.
Browser tech won because every major platform needs a browser and basically no organization was investing in multiplatform UX libraries. The likes of both Microsoft and Apple are openly hostile to such frameworks (QT and GTK come to mind).

It is VERY true to life and based on real revolutions.
It did an excellent job showcasing real politics and social dynamics. Tons of characters and they all had depth.
The first season is very good, the second season is, IMO, some of the best political drama ever produced. It’s also highly entertaining.
Slow? Not necessarily.
The main issue with that much memory is the data routing and the physical locality of the memory. Assuming you (somehow) could shrink down the distance from the cache to the registers and could have a wide enough data line/request lines you can have data from such a cache in ~4 cycles (assuming L1 and a hit).
What slows down memory for L2 is the wider address space and slower residence checks. L3 gets a bit slower because of even wider address spaces but also it has to deal with concurrency issues since it’s shared among cores. It also ends up being slower because it physically has to be further away from the cores due to it’s size.
If you ever look at a CPU die, you’ll see that L1 caches are generally tiny and embedded right into the center of the processor. L2 tends to be bolted onto the sides of the physical cores. And L3 tends to be the largest amount of silicon real estate on a CPU package. This is all what contributes to the increasing fetch performance for each layer along with the fact that you have to check the closest layers first (An L3 hit, for example, means that the CPU checked L1 and L2 and failed at both which takes time. So L3 access will always be at least the L1 + L2 times).
They’ve moved into ignore mode. Now they are hyper focused on the scandal that is an octogenarian having cancer.

The thing about genetics is you can make reasonable predictions about individuals if you have data on their relatives. Heck, you can reasonably make regional predictions with genetic data that will be fairly accurate.
If any of your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, etc took this test, then you are now at least a little exposed.
cogman@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Bankrupt 23andMe Just Sold Off All Your DNA Data35·2 months agoI literally had an econ professor years ago who directly told us “do not take a genetics test”. This was before the ACA
The reason was simple. It’s information that once a private company gets a hold of it, they will use it to hurt you. Whether it’s a drug company that learns you’re predisposed to addiction, so better to give you it people around you nice temporary discounts on addictive meds, or an insurance company that learns you’re predisposed to cancer, so better to look for ways to deny or drop coverage.
Once these companies know a little bit about your nature, they’ll exploit any aspect possible to increase profits.
This was not a progressive/socialist econ professor. Just someone who knows how capitalism works.

cogman@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•The World Food Programme has run out of food in GazaEnglish164·2 months agoFormer staffer that resigned because of the Gaza policy and was not involved in the 2024 election.
From the article, since you didn’t bother to read.
Harris has not been the candidate many of us wanted. Her candidacy is historic, but she and the Democratic Party have failed to champion a truly progressive agenda — one needed not only to motivate her base, but to take on the right wing’s increasingly fascist policies and rhetoric. It has been devastating to see Harris refuse to break with Biden on Israel, adopt xenophobic talking points about immigration policy, and campaign alongside hawkish, pro-war Republicans.
And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you’d bother to read the article, you’d see she even supported the uncommitted movement, which guess who the protest voters were?
You are struggling to square away that I have empathy and understand why people couldn’t stomach Harris. Stop calling people “morons” because they can’t as easily justify genocide as you can.
Also do note that rather than addressing my challenge, you proved my point. Harris had identical Gaza policies to Biden and the only reason to vote for her was the fact that there were some pro Palestinian Democrats. You vote for her not because she’s better in Gaza, but out of the hope that members of her caucus could moderate her position.
cogman@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•The World Food Programme has run out of food in GazaEnglish68·2 months agoMy position has been rock solid through the entire election. Feel free to look through my past comments.
The only ones coping are you guys that are just becoming aware of genocide because Trump is also supporting it.
Keep getting mad and ignoring anyone who doesn’t 100% carry water for Democrats. I’m sure that will continue to be electorially successful.
Yup, the band is already littered with 6g devices. It’d be a stupid purchase.
But also, 6GHz is somewhat of a useless band for carriers. It’s high enough frequency that it’ll get absorbed by most things yet low enough frequency that it’ll struggle to really carry a whole lot of data.
