This is what’s happening to Russia’s shadow fleet

Got it. You’re good.

Huh? I was saying that tongue in cheek that capitalists keep trying to remove protections on child labor. It’s actually from a meme.

Because I am one of the experts. I’m not going to share exactly who I am, but I’ve been in IT for 30+ years. I’ve worked on everything from development, to infrastructure to hardware design for the Open Compute project and at major cloud companies as an architect. So no, it’s all magic elves if you understand what’s going on and I will never equate it with that.

I mean, maybe a shill for international travel and exploring the world, but not for a single company. This just seems like a unique offering. Kinda like Emirates “The Residence” or Americans new A321XLRs. Also Singapores airport, etc.

Hahaha, what? I missed the rule on Lemmy that you can only respond to one comment chain at a time.

Nope. Just enjoy travel and aviation in general and i start seeing the same response over and over, over time.

Children yearn for the mines.

Even in first class no one wants to be stuck

Gotta disagree there. Ended up on a 16h flight from HKG to LAX in Business (due to a headwind) and I didn’t mind it at all. Honestly I prefer direct flights where possible. No need to worry about 2nd leg delays, getting and rechecking bags, going through the airport, blah, blah. This is something I’m looking forward too, and obviously I’m not alone if they’re investing millions in it.

I don’t want to be pedantic, as I understand what you’re saying, but they way I interpret that is it’s still deterministic, we just don’t know all of the factors that are currently contributing to the outcome. It’s not magical, it’s just lack of full understanding of all variables.

I get how it can be thought of as non-deterministic, but I think the reason why that bothers me is I’ve seen it used as slippery slope territory into “see, so god must exist!”. I think I was just triggered more by the eventuality and not your specific statement.

And that’s alright. You’re not their target demographic then as this product isn’t everything for everyone. There are still routes through the Middle East with layovers.

Before people start piling on with the “I’d never sit in economy for that long!”, realize that Quantas is marketing this specifically as a premium product to reduce the amount of time to connect locations. They’re actually shrinking the total number of economy seats as most of the revenue will come from Business followed by Premium Economy. Those passengers will be fine in their seats for nearly 24 hours.

The only ones who will do it in economy will be people looking to experience “the world’s longest”, or people who absolutely hate multi-stop trips.

Of course not and now the all-seeing eye has loads of patient data. You got played.

Nah man. I’ve been a programmer and it’s very much doing exactly what you told it to. The issue is you (general you) did not do a good job of telling it what to do. It’s like speaking to a five year old realizing the instructions you give it are going to be literally executed, loopholes and all.

They told the council the firm had future bookings to honour and cancelling them would have a detrimental impact on the company’s income.

We can’t stop doing it because it would cost us money. Damn and I thought Americans were bad with their money trumps all logic.

Normally I laugh at these as they have some merit, but fuck this one. The right end of the curve isn’t some Jedi understanding of things, it’s tech bros that think AI is alive and they want to enslave us.

Pros: Alamo Drafthouse has a strict no phone policy (they eject without refund) and no ads before the show. The only thing they show is kitschy stuff related to the movie. And for Spaceballs, that’s gonna be fun.

xAI… I knew it even before opening the article. And now the EPA wants to exempt DCs from the Clean Air Act.

It’s like trying to find Ausfahrt, Germany.

New Mexico, taking it up the border.
