US told Philippines it made ‘missteps’ in secret anti-vax propaganda effort
  • They attacked Chinas covid vaccine, which while less effective than the American/European version, they made available to lower income countries much sooner. By maligning the vaccine, the Pentagon could attack China in the developing world.

    This worked, but also made the Philippines way antivax in general, directly leading to death.

  • Disability campaigner unable to collect award on stage due to no ramp
  • Your take is well reasoned and kind, but there is a picture of the stage in the article. It's roughly 2 ft high. There are two very short steps to mount it.

    I cant think of a single ramp that would be available as a "ramp" that would not work in this circumstance. A standard 5x5 ft sheet of plywood would have been more than enough to have a very gentle grade to this particular stage.

  • Trump refuses to accept he's not running against Biden anymore
  • Human minds evolved to spot patterns. This was very useful for identifying predators and prey back in the savannas of Africa.

    Now people can put a pizza in the oven and use that powerful pattern matching to imagine incredibly stupid bullshit like this guys take above.

  • US public rapidly sours on Project 2025 as awareness grows
  • It also covers so much evil. Banning abortions, banning porn, ending the ACA, ending school funding, ending Trans rights, cutting medicare and social security, on and on and on.

    Even if you agree with some of the evil, it has so much that youre going to find something that you don't like in it.

    It's an easy thing to get consensus across the political sphere because there is so much hate in it.

  • OpenAI could lose $5 billion in 2024
  • The engineers can generally also do other things, the security will likely be better, and its fully possible API costs will exceed that sum if you need that much expertise inhouse to match your API usage.

  • The Humble Games Situation Gets Messier With Claims Of Lies And Damage Control
  • They shifted it from a $0 minimum to $7.50.

    That's more than keeping the lights on money, as the old humble was doing that just fine without any mandatory amount. Even taking into account taht they want to pay off their fresh purchase, IGN is gouging.

    It doesnt help either that the charity slider is always set to a minimum now. It used to be evenly weighted, but now it's weighted about 45%/45% IGN and the vendor, with maybe 10% to the charity by defualt. You have to click through a hidden menu to fix it.

  • 4th-gen Nest Learning Thermostat leaks with new Temperature Sensor
  • 100%. I tried two different models of nest before I picked up an ecobee. So much better.

    Looks just as sleek in its own way, interface UI is incredibly clean and responsive, super easy to adjust temperature, visible from across the room if you want. Like a smooth, sleek rounded phone screen that just works. Seems to be more accurate at keeping the temp and run the HVAC less than the nest. Can be intergrated into tons of smart hubs, while the nest has 0 interoperability.

    Having working and good sensors for other rooms is a huge selling point too. Nest currently has a wonky, stupid version of the room sensor that would allow you to flip control of the HVAC based on preset and unchangeable times, 9am-4pm/etc. Times dont line up with your needs? Too bad. It also has no presence sensor at all, so if someone wasn't in that room at that time? All well, kicking on. Hopefully this one model makes it less shit, but ill beleive it when I see it.

    Ecobee has Nest beat in almost all of its features. The only thing it can't take the win on is twisting it to change the temp. Thats it. It's better in every other way.

  • Fox News invites Harris and Trump to debate in September
  • Bill O'reily paid a women 32 million dollars to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit. What happened to her was never disclosed, but the abuse was over the course of years. He has also settled several other sexual harassment suits, with fox settling even more on his behalf.. It was this last high profile case that got him fired from fox.

    He is a vicious, repeat sexual assault offender and should be in a deep, deep hole in the ground, and nowhere else.

  • Sovcit wants to get started.
  • Yeah you basically put up the same amount as your insurance company would in a bond, and then you dont have to pay a monthly fee.

    If you have 500k you can set aside, you can save $100/month.
