Between the fact you could mod it to hell already and the resources were already easy to decompile there wasn’t much left. There’s possibly some cheats for Online but everyone expects things to be crazy there, so there wasn’t as much value.
Isn’t taxing SS basically a double tax? We pay for it once already through our contributions to it while working
Should have added if it cares about tabs vs spaces.
I have a fundamental disdain for formats with restrictive white space definitions (I’m looking too at you Python)
LLM outputs not deterministic
I think this needs to be called out much more. IT, by its very nature is meant to consist of repeatable, verifiable processes and outputs. That is how a lot of the trust around the process is built.
Now you’re basically trying to tell people: Trust a system that can only reproduce the same results 98-99% of the time. For some that may be fine, but it’s going to become more of a problem as time goes on.
It’s never going to be perfect. Good luck with that, but the question is “did you spend more than $1700 in tariffs?” I mean you’re welcome to try to sue every company and the government directly to get it back.
Nope, which is why it should be a standard amount. For example, Illinois is suing for $1700/person regardless of what they spent. That’s what they calculated out was the average.
Realistically since the American consumer ultimately paid it, it should be returned via a tax credit on our taxes. That was it doesn’t matter if you paid via higher prices, or flat out paid import fees. It goes back to the consumer.
Up next: secret purchases through shell companies.
Let’s not forget catholic calisthenics. Sit, stand, kneel, stand, sit….
And sadly it’s not just isolated to Africa. Western countries like Australia and the US are doing similar things in the name of religion. It’s a global scourge.
Oh I’m sorry… with 105% of party official votes this time?
Was it with 105% of the vote this time?
So… you know how Battlefield 6 requires Secure Boot and TPM enabled, which just so happens to mean you can only use Windows 11? Yeah, they’ve been priming it for a while. Soon they’ll mandate that the browsers have hooks than can read the attestation of the system like Google’s Safety system on Android, and then sites won’t even load if it doesn’t pass.
Next they’re gonna say it solves the Traveling Salesman Problem like never before.
… and they backtracked already.
Iirc PreCheck is also basically self funded, and actually reduces workload on TSA Agents…. The cruelty is the point.
I was putting sugar in my ice tea one time and someone filled the sugar jar with salt. I don’t know if it was on purpose or accident, but that one sip was completely jarring and nasty.
You’re right that it might be pretax, but I’m forced to pay it and can’t choose to invest it myself and it’s for a specific purpose that I have no control over, so it’s functionally a tax.
And don’t get me started on the fact I’ll probably never see a dime even though I’ve contributed over $200K
