Using images for rounded corners.....ugh. I forgot all about that.

Its almost like Google selling Boston Dynamics was a bad idea.

The north of israel also wasn't evacuated for the recent Iran campaign. That was in 2024 and they didn't evacuate for the recent ground invasion they did in Southern Lebanon.

... was at one point partially evacuated. It isn't currently, and hasn't been for years at this point.

You may be confused with southern Lebanon, which is.

You seem to be woefully uninformed on this subject. Far northern Israel was evacuated in 2023 and has long since moved on to reconstruction. No significant damage in the area was directly from Iran, it was all from Hezbollah (their proxy militia in Lebanon).

All this talk on why mass immigration didn't work. But never says that Europe is the reason all those immigrates showed up. Europe's policies supported US and Israeli wars that created those mass migrations. So now Europe is on the hook for the results of those policies.

So grow up and take ownership.

Ah Israel. Yes Israel is the reason. THey're responsible for tens of millions of people coming from Syria, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Somalia etc etc.

It doesn't, these companies are building their own little kingdoms and robot armies. They don't care about the economy when they can control everything.

You can't produce infinitely without their being paying demand for your production.

I can't believe this doesn't mention Image Seam Carving. Surprise this was never built into browsers.

I think this is far too risky.

This doesn't help you if you want to save bandwidth, it worsens it.

It doesn't help you if you custom-crop images depending on the viewport size, because if you go that far to art direct, then you're not going to like the result of automated and unsupervised seam carving.

Just publish 3 sizes, maybe crop the smallest one if the focus area is too small. Done.

Building something like this into a browser would be a bad idea, as it's incredibly resource-intensive.

I'd seen the technique, but never visualized like that. Very cool.

This is a nice story and how it played out is great for Switzerland. But the ways listed on how to fix it, wouldn't work in the US. See companies in the US have already worked around what worked for Switzerland.

The different levels of governments in the US are corrupt. Sometimes from town all the way up to Federal. Actually its definitely completly corrupt at the Federal level. A politician or Judge has already been bought to make sure a case like the Swisscom lost. Would never happen here.

So before we have any progress in really any industry in the US. We need to desperately clean house with our politicians, attorney generals and judges.

The stock market is a very large Ponzi scheme. 401Ks are indexed Ponzi schemes. Once the ultra wealthy can disconnect their wealth from any one country, using crypto tokens. The stock market and 401Ks will probably crash. You usually want to do this on a generation that has no real voting block. So it will probably happen when GenX starts retiring.

Again this is different in a Capitalists society vs a Socialist one.

In a Capitalists society everyone is pitted against each other trying to out compete the other at whatever the cost. Safety in this environment is thought of at the end after a lot of suffering because one group has to win it all. Damages can externalized.

In a Socialist society we build basic rules and we compete within them. Thinking of safety as we build something and refining those rules as we build it because at the end, we are all affected by it and get to benefit from it.

I think this isn't about guns but more about seeing and controlling what people are printing. Guns is just the excuse to monitor.

"Hey I see your printing a replacement part for you washer. Well that is a patent part and you will need to pay to print that."

LOL...you do have a point, but not sure what makes them think...I would let my 3d printer talk to the outside...ever. But yeah, this bill is such BS.
