You can backload via generator plugged in. Nothing physically stopping it. You just would need to shut off the primary breaker so you don't load the line outside of your house.
The solar is the same way, but with an auto cutoff.
If it isn't an informed decision, it isn't really a decision at all. And the huge majority of people the huge majority of the time do not want to make an informed decision: they want what they came to the site for, news, games, family photos, etc.
You go to Facebook to see your cute nephew make spit bubbles. Do you care that they access your camera and canvas? What is a canvas? And sure access my camera, I want to upload photos!
It's fundamentally broken. They've studied the dark patterns, not to avoid them but to implement them best.
Absolutely. I spoke to an ex-Meta guy and his only answer to stuff like this was "actually its good for privacy because they don't want third parties to access your data since its valuable"
I think they'll keep cheap consumer electronics for the most part. Not as cheap as this last decade, but still cheap. They just want to control the entire software chain from boot to network-accessed resources.
Are you human? Then you must verify it from a "trusted computer", preferably with your driver's license. Gets governments and corporations as much information as they want, along with a guarantee that you can't "steal" their content and can't avoid their ads.
It's the same critiques that come up with taxing the rich. "Oh people will just evade it". Cool then nail them then. Or if they all want to move to tiny tax shelters then tax them when they move their money there.
They want you to believe it's not possible to restrict them so that you don't try.
Good comparison! The best part is that it's not even true! Tax evasion is far from common, as no one wants to go to jail. It's tax… optimization? that's the problem.
In other words, the rich don't generally break the law to avoid paying taxes. Rather, they find _legal_ loopholes that work for them, and even create them through lobbying.
Which suggests that legal measures _would_ be likely to work!
To the common man, there is no real difference between tax evasion and tax "optimization". Especially since the people who most use those "optimizations" often have excessive impact on the writing of the tax code in the first place!
I do try to learn how systems work and remove "abstractions" as much as I can. I do that with coding and my personal life.
Actually baking is a good example, I used to be really bad so I spent time learning. I don't do it every day but now I understand how bread is made.
I bought a 3D printer so I could print parts to fix stuff myself.
I learned to do my own oil changes, I learned how engines work, etc.
My point is that I try to learn more, not less, which is what AI is trying to achieve
He's right about interest rates. But he's missing the point behind the debate: whose policy choices got us to where we are today where this is necessary? Republicans.
Not just Trump, Republicans as a whole. They are not fiscally conservative at all, and their culture wars and religious crusades are going to bankrupt the nation.
They'll sell you up a rope to corporate donors asking for deregulation. And we've seen exactly what happens when there is money to be made at the expense of other people's lives: spoiler alert, people like money more than they care about other people's health.
It was necessary because a group of billionaires (Joyce Foundation) decided they were going to do a run around congress and engage in lawfare for their goals.
It’s nonsense to pretend it came out of no where for no reason.
If people could imagine it being used against them, maybe they might understand. Like labeling the Republican party a terrorist organization because they sponsored Jan 6 insurrectionists.
