Seems like the limits of llms have been reached and they're is no clue how to step beyond

This is how you tell your customers they should not buy any products from you in the future.

It goes beyond their IoT devices to everything they make. You cannot trust Belkin to provide you with meaningful support for any device if they get bored and they may kill your device, particularly if it is cloud connected, even before it is out is warranty. Anything which needs critical updates for security reasons is affected.

So even though I never had any of these products, I will not be buying Belkin ever again because the risk is too high.

Buy from someone else.

Not by rotw standards no. But it's all relative. In the USA Democrats stand to the left of the repuglicans.

If they truly feel that they got something different than they voted for, they should remember that they were told a lot of this would happen by one side and told it wouldn't by the other.

The next time they vote they should remember that and consider more than simply "left bad, right good". But we all know they won't. They will just say "the last guys were bad Republicans, this new group are good republicans" and vote the same way again.

I've long thought that conservatives are the party of "me". They appeal to selfish desires which is why they are successful. It's like playing the lottery. I didn't win this time but I might next time so I'll keep playing.

"Hi, I'd like a coffee please"

"Sure thing. Here you are sir"

"this is just hot water"

"yep but the coffee is definitely coming next year. We are just working out a few kinks. Also careful you don't burn yourself on that, it's a little hotter than we planned"

"but the sign says best coffee in town"

"and next year it will be, exciting isn't it? Thank you for shopping at Tesla Coffee"

Seriously though, any other industry/ceo and it would not have been allowed to happen like this. I'm glad karma is coming back on them.

Yes I did. Your point is simply "but... more money!!!" Ignoring that bigger numbers are not the whole story.

It has only been 6 months. The effects of this administration will not appear in tables of budgets and salaries yet. Although in simple terms it will probably still look ok, it is far less attractive.

Cost of living matters too. From simple things like how much broadband costs (uk: £30 pcm, usa: $78 pcm) to an ambulance ride (uk: free, usa:$2000). The higher salary is an illusion.

I also note that every company in your list is a tech company. Researchers in other fields are probably not going to be as lucky.

Buying in instrumentation is also now more expensive due to tariffs so your research budget was effectively cut as well as being actually cut. Scientists with approved grants for equipment have had them revoked. Universities are advising not spending funds to provide contingency funds.

Well ... Full disclosure. I'm not a journalist

"Baby rescued from apartment after single-mother tragically died days earlier"

Didn't think it was that difficult

Is it not simply a matter of contract anyway? The states agree to pay the federal government in exchange for the security and cooperation that the federation brings. If the federal government is no longer holding up it's end of that agreement no matter the reason, why should the States be obligated to remain in that agreement?

I'm sorry to inform you, but that's not how democracy works. You, the collective you, voted for Trump. I'm sorry that you didn't want this and I don't want to blame you personally, but you are not apart from this.

 

Democratic political strategy

 

Every decade has its musical style that generally makes it easy to place what decade a song was written in if you haven't heard it before.

40s big band

50s rock and roll

60s essentially has its genre named after the decade or at least I can't think of anything I'd call a genre.

70s punk and beginnings of heavy metal, disco

80s electro synth, rap

90s grunge, dance, R&B, trance

Etc etc. Obviously these don't entirely define the music of the decade but are highly recognisable genres that can more often than not pinned down to a decade.

So my question is, since the 2000s I don't see as much differentiation but that might be because I'm too old (44) and not as exposed to be music as I was in my teens, so help me pretend I'm "hip" and "with it" by giving me some clues. I'm curious to know what you think defines the music of the 2020s, what defines the 2010s and what defines the 2000s. I.e. When someone says they are going to listen to noughties music what do they put on? Etc. Or have we reached a point where music has been explored to the point new genres are much rarer to establish?

 

The Geneva convention was established to minimise atrocities in conflicts. Israeli settlements in Gaza are illegal and violate the Geneva convention. Legality of Israeli settlements Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside. Whether you agree or not that Hamas were present, children cannot be viewed as combatants.so when no care was taken to protect them, does this not constitute a violation? According to save the children, 1 in 50 children in Gaza had been killed or injured. This is a very high proportion and does not show care being taken to prevent such casualties and therefore constitutes a violation.

So my question is simply, do supporters of Israel no longer support our believe in the Geneva convention, did you never, or how do you reconcile Israeli breaches of the Geneva convention? For balance I should add "do you not believe such violations are occurring and if so how did you come to this position?"

Answers other than only "they have the right to go after Hamas " please. The issue is how they are going after Hamas, not whether they should or not.

EDIT: Title changed to remove ambiguity about supporting Israel vs supporting their actions
