Takes as in seizes

I think you’ve forgotten that the means of production is supposed to be seized by the proletariat, not by the bourgeoisie using their illegitimate government.

the difference is that the united states ONLY takes from the poor

Objectively and provably untrue.

Helion is saying 2028 for their first 50MW plant.

For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

I maintain several multi-wan commercial setups and they don’t have this problem. I obviously don’t know what your setup is but I’d guess something is wrong with how its handling flows / connections. Once a connection is established between your edge and an internet resource that flow should remain “stuck” to whatever wan port it started with and it sounds like that isn’t happening.

This article has nothing to do with the United States and did not need a US centric comment.

Australia got the criminals while America got the prudes.

Eh, you’re assigning an awful lot of malice with no real reason. A smartphone manufacturer already has access to the kind of data exposed in this attack, regardless of whether the headphones were hooked up with wires or bluetooth.

Samsung, Apple, Xaomi, Huwaei or whoever else doesn’t need some stupid BT vulnerability to know what attached devices like headphone are up too. They already have root level access to the phones hardware.

Fascists can create

We really need to get over this idea that it’s only “fascists” using AI to push their ideology. In 2025 you’d be hard pressed to find any National Government, Political Party, or Ideologically based group who is not using a metric fuckton of AI bots to distribute AIGen content in an attempt to sway elections and opinions. The IPIE report on this makes it quite plain that at least 80% of elections worldwide had problems with this in 2024.

At this point blaming this solely on “Fascists” is wilful blindness and a clear indicator that someone is either living in a bubble of single-sided information or is an ideologue themselves.

Unfortunately it’s not a country with very safe windows.

Even the TCP sliding windows aren’t safe!

There’s also the fact that the majority of Iran’s nuclear facilities were built before UHPC, the concrete discussed in the article, was available!

Why? The kinds of UHPC being discussed in the article weren’t available even in the United States until the year 2000 but most of Iran’s nuclear facilities were built between 1974 and 2005. Even their primary enrichment facility in Fordow, which was struck with MOPs, was started no earlier than the mid-2000s as it was still unfinished in 2009.

Basically the majority of Iran’s facilities, even their major ones, are too old to have the kind of concrete being discussed in the article.

A lot of masks only work in the visible light spectrum. It’s entirely possible to “radar” images and remove them.

China imports 1.3 to 1.8 million barrels of oil per day from Iran, roughly 16% of its total. It’s not just oil either, China is a heavy importer of other Iranian petrochemicals.

China’s EVs give them very little leverage at this point.

Reading these comments seriously makes me wonder how many of y’all read the article. The US doesn’t need Iranian oil but China DOES.

A dwindling supply of oil through the Strait and rising oil prices damages China and buoys the United States. If China doesn’t want to put any effort into keeping the Strait open it’s going to hurt them far more than it will hurt anyone else.

The bot problem has been around since before Sam Altman was old enough to legally drink. For example in the early days the founders of Reddit were running bots to make the site look wayyy busier than it actually was in order to attract new users.

He’s a convenient bogey-man, and a huge asshole, but he’s the not the source of this problem.

There isn’t a single county in this country that votes 100% in either direction. So saying that “All of whom voted for this.” is objectively incorrect.

I’m in Wyoming and fiber started rolling out in multiple cities with multiple different providers in each city two years ago. They got to my house earlier this year so I now have a 2Gb/s connection.

I’m confused. The article is talking about “BEAD” which wasn’t passed until 2021. You must be talking about a different program.

Try reading MY comment. You are talking about a central element of the movie GATTACA from 1997. I know it’s old and many younger people haven’t seen it so I provided a link to the Wikipedia article about the film.

This issue was widely discussed, at least in American society, almost 30 years ago. The film is still heavily referenced in any discussion involving bio-ethics and genetic manipulation.

Trump doesn’t need to be brought up in every fucking comment section. This is literally about rice in Japan so stop with American politics.
