Cats are remarkably capable predators, and cat owners are remarkably irresponsible.
Letting your cat be an “outside” cat is bad enough for the environment. Not spaying/neutering said “outside cat” is how we get feral cats everywhere.
That said, I dont love the vague “eradicate feral cats” language. Would greatly prefer a broad spectrum spay/neuter/tag program to naturally reduce their population.
Predator-free NZ was always destined to ruffle some feathers though.
And, as with any standardized hardware, it’s a lot easier to ensure games and services (like Proton) perform reliably.
Time will tell if this sells enough, but it could become the new standard for industry benchmarking/testing.
You could do PR with the ballot of potential Reps distributed by district. When the election is settled the district Reps are assigned starting with the highest-skewed district. E.g.:
Overall vote: 60:40 (red:blue)
D1: 80:20
D2: 40:60
D3: 70:30
D4: 45:55
D5: 30:70
You can go randomly, round Robin, or winner-first to divvy up the districts, but essentially you would expect D1, D3, and D4 to be assigned their local red Rep (even though red “lost” in the close D4 race) and D2 & D5 to go blue
With more parties, random or round robin are a little more “fair” for the third party - winner first allocation could result in 3rd party getting the “whatever’s left” district where they didn’t actually get any votes.
It’s not perfect, but neither is the current system.
Windows Vista would like a word.
In terms of utility for the average person, statistics >>>>> calculus.
I work in an engineering field, and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to do an integral in the last year. But I run into glorified statistics problems virtually every day both in personal and professional situations.
Having to constantly remind people of error bars, statistical significance, and the difference between correlation and causation, it would have been nice if those things were hammered home more thoroughly in school.
In theory you could lease your server capacity to the big AI players, but then they would have to trust you -a noted crypto grifter - with their data.
Oh good, they know they have a lot to fix. If only someone on the Windows team knew a trillion dollar company that could foot the bill for getting those fixes done ASAP. That kinda cash and you could build a whole OS from scratch if you really wanted to.
https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html
When you enable Privacy Pass, instead of logging in with your Kagi account for each search, you use special cryptographic tokens. These tokens prove you have the right to use Kagi’s services without revealing who you are. This means your searches can’t be linked back to your account or to each other, providing an additional layer of privacy.
Obviously you lose some of the customization, but otherwise still a great service.
I enjoy it. They have a 100-search free trial so you can test it out for yourself. Between them down ranking sites full of trackers and allowing you to put your own preferential ratings on sites, I find myself getting the results I’m after so much quicker.
Then I have great news for you! Kagi accept bitcoin, does not validate email addresses (so you can register as fhhdsbgwg@hrjesbgwgw.com if that appeals to you), and they implemented privacy pass tokens that fully anonymize your searches. They also allows searching through tor!
You are paying for search, just differently.

Ahh, the 'ol 1-day-old account here to troll in the comments.
What can you even do on an un-networked fridge screen? Play bejeweled while contemplating suicide?
That’s the kind of check Soros gives me to cover my ANTIFA membership fees
“Quantum emulation” all the hype, 1/1000th the efficiency, 1000X the excuses to sell hardware
“Describing rapid-response networks [and] moms as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are, and how incredible their views are,” Ellis said.
Shoutout for the proper use of the word incredible.
Getting the chunks off saves you from having to clean the filter as often (I recognize that’s probably different from “scrubbing”)
My dishes are by no stretch of the imagination clean when they go into the dishwasher, but they also look nothing like what’s in a Cascade™ commercial.
Bought a tire attachment for my air compressor the other day. You’d think I must live in a house with millions of tires to fill based on my product suggestions.
“Like, you really fucking love tires right? Have you heard of these 6 other tire-filling compressor attachments??”
What? Even if you take the argument, which is full of shit, at face value, tons of people are citizens to countries other than their birth county. Born or married into a family that grants you citizenship rights? Moved somewhere and changed citizenship?
It’s up to India, not China, to determine who gets Indian passports, and it’s China, not India’s, fault for not issuing a Chinese passport to this woman if they view her place of birth as Chinese territory.
