Did you solder it? Did you use flux when soldering? A lot of people, sadly even some plumbers, don't realize you aren't supposed to go crazy with the flux in plumbing. It's corrosive. A little clump of goo will corrode a pinhole through a pipe in 7 years. That's long enough that shit plumbers will never realize the mistakes they are making. Plumbing can last 30 years or 7. It sounds like yours lasted 7.

That has more to do with government spending. Trade has nothing to do with debt. If I buy something from the grocery store it doesn't create a debt somewhere. Just because we have US dollars abroad and goods that are no longer abroad and are now here doesn't mean the US debt increased.

The only bright thing about this is it will make it more clear to the world how dumb tariffs are. The thing that has me geeking is how many non-Americans are calling us dumb for the "obvious" backwards economic policy of tariffs that any textbook understanding of economics will tell you are always bad... while they are in countries that have been using tariffs the whole time.

Maybe when the US hits a downslump from this tariffs will be seen as universally dumb everwhere. Because they are.

The only valid reason to tariff is if you want to reduce association with a country. For example I wouldn't mind putting tariffs on China, not because I think it's good economics. It isn't. I just want nothing to do with those creeps because everywhere they establish any economic influence they start trying to control the speech in those areas. We don't really need any interaction with North Korea either. That's it. And if they goal is exclusion, with exceptions for people willing to pay the price, then you may as well make it steep. 100% tariff of China and North Korea. 0% tariff everywhere else.

Saving Programming from Modern Culture by fschmidt in programming

Very interesting. If you are willing to help a Mennonite start a software business and make money off of it with nothing gained for yourself that is very generous of you.

On the Japanese. It is worth noting their society has discouraged software development. At least it has from the start of computing to up to a decade ago. Their culture values hardware. I see some positives and negatives of this. One is you are going to have fewer Japanese that have learned programming, and have learned it beyond the minimum elective component of their degree. Now the upsides. Anyone interested in software development in Japan is actually interested in it, and not because "it was a high paying field", because it isn't there. Two, many of them may value opportunities to interact with people abroad because their own society doesn't value them. Three, they would be potentially less exposed to mass soy-dev hype-frameworks. That isn't a guarantee because all programmers are self-taught really and they have access to the same internet as the rest of us. So it's not impossible the few programmers Japan has may be just as interested in React and other such non-sense as US developers.

Good. Death is an option. Death isn't that bad. We can always use infinite resources to try to cheat death. We could spend 95% of our GDP on it if we really wanted to. You can always demand that someone spend more on you to keep you alive longer. But it has to stop at some point and so that calculation that you aren't worth it is just an inevitability. So then at what specific point are you not worth it? When you require theft from other people to stay alive.

Death is not only an option, it's a good option.

US Court of Appeals Unanimously Denies Copyright Protection for AI-Created Images by farmer in news

Then what you are really arguing is that humans who use one tool over another tool make better quality art. That might be true. But slop art made with a poorly wielded tool should be legally equal. You could argue that people who make art with Flash instead of with oil and brush produce soulless art by comparison.

Even if we get rid of copyright human art is still protected. You can create something. You can digitize it. You can hand it off to many people and duplicate it. And it would be very hard for me to destroy it. Someone else's use of AI, or even copyright of it and sale of it, doesn't really damage anything you've worked on. So the idea that we need to protect human art and that art that utilized a particular tool in creation is legally different is really a false dichotomy. Non-sequitur even.

Still the act of commanding the AI to create those images was a human act. It's just a tool. AI didn't create those images any more than photoshop creates images.

Maybe we make it all simple and just revoke copyright all together. It was introduced as an incentive to resolve the scarce media problem. Exchanging media doesn't naturally create demand for a media unless you impose risk on non-paying persons because once a media is created it is trivial to make more of it. Which ironically makes it very hard to create demand for the original creation.

Well with AI existing there is no media creation scarcity. Honestly there hasn't been for a while. So the problem copyright aimed to solve is resolved. There's no reason for it.

Investigation exposes pedophilia in the child-influencer industry. by YurariYurato in conspiracy

The mothers know exactly what they are doing. All women sell themselves. Maybe not in a directly monetary way. Maybe not in a explicitly sexual way. But all women do at least a minimum, quasi of column A and a quasi of column B. Sometimes a more than quasi version of one column but not the other. Sometimes outright both. All women know and play this game. No matter what culture they are from. Even if it is as simple as look pretty to get a husband who will take care of you. This is why all women care about their looks. Their looks have just as much impact on their long term economic well being as does professional training does for a man, at much less effort. This is why some women treat looking good as a full time job. It's as valid of a full time job as any other given the economic incentives at play.

And this is the sick thing you probably haven't considered that women don't want you to consider. Women want their children to do well in this economy, whatever role or mode of engaging in that economy that mother knows. Women of all cultures are grooming their children to be effective players in the ho-conomy. Period.

So one position in that economy or mode of that exchange can be: look fucking hot to be popular and influential. The percentage of women who are ok with that form the equations is... um, most of them.

So you can't possibly tell me their mothers were oblivious "oh, I didn't know when I sought out a professional photographer and he started taking pictures of her in a micro bikini and posting that on a release schedule calculated to maximize followers what was really going on. I was oblivious and taken advantage of! My poor sweety was uused! An evil men did this!" Women universally know this game more than even the most red pilled men do.

Now here's my real hot take. So fucking what. Unless it's literal prostitution who fucking cares. Teenage girls are going to play with the more quasi parts of that equation. It's pretty much their fucking job. It's what they spend all their time doing and care about. Why be mad that she was more successful at it. That she managed to do it without physical contact. And got set up with actual media presence they can leverage when they are older. When the alternative is her putting all her effort into trying to impress Brad on the football team and getting knocked up. Do you want actual sex for some high school dweeb with no real economic value or photos taken from seven feet away for an actual business? Your daughter is playing the ho-conomy either way. She might as well be better at it.

Either you spend a lot of money to make water that is both sanitary and free from harmful chemical, and then you use that expensive water in a toilet. Or you make the water cheap enough that you can water your garden with it and then the water you drink is either unsanitary or full of chemicals.

Well, surely the US has some blame for installing those people.

So does Europe by expanding their union right to the borders of the buffer states. I'm a bit of a Ron Paul type nerd. I think almost all global conflict is downstream of economics. No one is able to see the chain of problems. The other blame that set forward this general conflict as an inevitability was EU tariff policy.

See, their tariff policy causes expansionism of their union. No one wants to do business with their immediate neighbors from without the union. So it expands. Sound like good policy right. Everyone reflexively sees an expanding thing as good. Whether something is good or bad depends on the outcomes it gives you. If expanding into or near important buffer states causes conflict/war. Then expansion at that level was bad. And the policy that caused it is bad. Even if people do love power and having administration of a bigger thing. That shouldn't be the goal of life if it causes war.
