Probably Palestine related issues. Can they even talk about that stuff there without getting arrested?

It can be used as a marketing trick, possibly because of the logic in GP post. Marketing people use this to trick people, which is different from it being a marketing trick in and of itself.

It’s going to be very sleepy even after it wakes up.

and no giant.

I don’t really understand the purpose of these cope posts anymore. It’s getting comical at this point.

Fully predictable result of politicizing science. Really, I blame the scientists for it.

You're joking, right?

I do. I also blame doctors for the current state of our healthcare. It's a reprehensible, pissant, milquetoast thing to stand up and say "oh i hate the way <my_system> is. But I refuse to organize to fix it and I'll externalize responsibility for change onto those outside the system being victimized, who have no power at all." Thats all scientists do, bemoaning the state of affairs it took them decades to create.

If you thought ai data center NIMBYism was bad, ask a scientist about effecting change in their lab or field


You do realize that doctors aren’t the ones denying Americans life-saving care, right? They’re not even setting the rates. They don’t mandate the system, the perform within it.

They save lives, and you blame them instead of the politicians taking money from lobbyists to keep private insurance death panels profitable.


There are always going to be "death panels", the only question is if they're staffed by accountants, lawyers, or doctors.

You kill someone, expect to get hell from their family.

Eventually the paying customers will get their fair share, even if it takes the new interim CEO taking a few million dollar pay cut to save a few more hundred Americans paying them money every month.

The President of the United States committing to spending $1.2 trillion of public dollars to send every adult a one-time $5K check if we vote the way he wants us to, while some family members face $120K or more in medical debt, it’s just a wild time.


It's exactly this mentality that is the problem. Doctors have much more agency that they admit. And they certainly can get more if they wanted to. Instead, they don't. And it's the constant refrain of "oh i absolutely just have got to follow along and enable" that's infuriating. No healthcare exec pretends they're disgusted with the system they support and strengthen. Doctors do.

wtf, explain how you politicize cancer or Alzheimer's research?

Science will generally get painted with a broad brush by the public. Epidemiologists politicize their field for a few years and consequently biology and medicine gets seen as political by the public.

It’s saving brown people and triggered a keyword or two in a DOGE search conducted by big-ballz or his coworkers, so decade-long research projects got defunded.

You’ll get your one-time $2.5K DOGE dividend check after you vote for Donald J. Trump for a third term.


The ideology is too tied in with their identity, so you’re not going to persuade them of anything lol.

Yeah I'm guessing if someone walked up to you and crowed a bunch of "common sense" that don't align at all with your own lived experience and understanding of how your own body works, you know the one you're living in and actively in the process, with the assistance of medical doctors, of modifying, you'd be pretty unconvinced of that too.

That doesn't mean people who know what they're talking about are "ideological," it means you're talking out your backside.


Or it means you are delusional and they are talking common sense.

It’s funny, it’s actually issue number 5 in the julia github, so lots of history. I am guessing, but in addition to it being difficult to pick a solution, it’s probably because once they pick a solution, they can’t take it back and they wanted that flexibility. And as time went on ad hoc solutions and SimpleTraits became popular, and the calculus becomes how much they want to disrupt the current code to the potential benefits of the solution.

Disconnect it from the internet, buy a streaming device, and use the streaming device. It’s really not that complicated.

If you want a bit complicated, you can probably unscrew the back panel and remove the wifi card.


> It’s really not that complicated.

You can do that no the average joe.


The "average joe" can absolutely do that...

It's as simple as buying a TV, never hooking it up, and then buying something like an Apple TV that you do hook up to the internet.


Can we really trust it to honor your request to stop using the internet? After hearing them speak on this subject, I have my doubts it will honor your request so quickly and easily.

You can't change the laws of physics.

If it isn't connected to the network, it can't communicate.


What do you mean "the network"? Do you mean the wi-fi you told it to not connect to or something else? Because something else sounds like a secondary path. It's enumerating devices for a reason. How many of those devices are LG or an LG partner?

Wifi exists now lol, and if there are open wifi networks in the vicinity, it can use it.

Unless it is factory reset (and even then?) it presumably still has saved wifi credentials?

Haha literally ate kiwi with skin on for the first time today. It’s a lot nicer, you just rinse it and eat it!

Strategic / economic interests have always outweighed cultural issues / human rights. The women, gays, infidel line is purely to get political support or deflect political criticism from a portion of the population.

I remember hearing from leftwing media how Kurdish fighters are feminists and LGBT-friendly. Look I have nothing for or against them, but lol.
