I think you responded to the wrong comment. I said nothing about the quality of the film industry's output, only that it is going to be replaced.

No, generative AI is. Why get props, lighting, actors, etc. when you can just not and say you did at a language model connected to a video generation model?

If the pole is entering the portal at the rate of 60 miles per hour, it must exit the portal at the same rate. After a minute, 1 mile of pole has entered the portal, and 1 mile has exited it. If it exits more slowly than it enters, where is the missing part of the pole?

No, we wouldn't be, Mr. Negative Karma Throwaway. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The US had exactly two in Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 before going back to positive growth. The US had a much larger recession in Q1 and Q2 2020 before a big recovery in Q3 2020. https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-change-from-preceding-period-in-real-gdp-in-the-us/

This is already about to pass in California. https://legiscan.com/CA/bill/SB478/2023

The FTC is going to write a rule similar to what local governments have given themselves power to regulate. The article gave some examples, but it is not exhaustive.

Metric is a product of the French Revolution, as well as decimal currency like cents. Some decimalization from the French Revolution didn't catch on widely, like gradians for measuring angles or decimal minutes, hours, and weeks. The imperial units were standardized by various monarchies (hence the name).

It isn't. It's planning to make ad blockers use a crippled API like the one Safari has had for years now, but the timeline for that still hasn't been decided. https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/mv2-sunset/

If he was a bigot back then, is he still a bigot now?

Yes, he is. As I said, he has posted why he spent money to deny gay people the right to marry and to nullify the marriages of gay people who were already married, and he has not apologized for it since.

Which is almost never.

Then there is no problem. Just tell people to use Firefox.

That owning slaves is wrong and denying rights to gay people is wrong and treating it as a political issue where both sides are valid is nonsensical.

You don't get a promotion for blocking a buggy launch.

This isn't about what Eich used to believe. This is about a law that he helped pass and still supports. I wouldn't give my money to somebody who helped pass a law to bring back slavery and still supports it. We know that this is wrong.

Eich and the KKK can continue to advocate for the wrong side. We should continue to argue against them and not give them our support.
