Same, looks like an amazing idea.


Similar story here. There was a crypto scam ad including "Libra" and AI produced Mark Zuckerberg video where he was pitching how he would distribute some of his wealth etc. Reported it, it got reviewed and it got denied. They kept the ad.


Money is hell of a drug, too.


It’s remarkable what can be done with interpreting and generating content, but things like advertising quality, Twitter bots and obvious scams are basically CAPTCHAs to their systems.


The paper is dated August 2020. Does anyone know a follow up study done?


The child and/or his mother would have been in each newspaper and late night shows at this time telling everybody his history. As that didn't happened in three years, the recovery seems either temporary or fake, unfortunately

Authors are discussing this anecdotal paper here.


It says: "The echoes appear once to several times per day, from several weeks to a few days before the earthquake occurrence and do not appear on other time."


But have they been looking for them at other times though?


Outside of the USA, apparently.


Rather than this particular "magic" material, LK99, in the original paper(s), authors propose their theory on why this material is behaving the way it is. This is a totally new way for achieving superconductivity in room conditions. If it is confirmed to be true, scientist can try to create similar materials with similar lattice structures focusing on what's needed, rather than focusing on LK99.

Even if LK99 may not, one of the materials with similar properties they will create may be easy to produce and robust to use.


I thought the same at first but then I remember all those teenagers out there just stepping into adulthood with noone to guide them in life. They can easily get tricked into this, wasting their potential.


Joining the military was the best decision of my life but ymmv


If it had no downsides, it could be an easy choice. But between the dubious morality, war crimes and PTSD, it's hard to compensate regardless of the positives (money, relatively, discipline, physical fitness?)


> dubious morality

I rendered humanitarian assistance that saved lives in the wake of the Sumatra earthquakes. My friends have done the same after the Japanese Tsunami.


If that were the only things soldiers did. However...

Either way, you did something good. Unlike many of your comrades. You got the lucky ticket that was the thing you were ordered to do (or offered to volunteer).


> Unlike many of your comrades.

What do you mean by that?


Destroying things and intentionally killing. You know, the things uniquely soldiers are trained and desensitized to do.


>Destroying things and intentionally killing.

Neither of those things is necessarily morally questionable.


They are intrinsically morally questionable if not just plain morally wrong. Imagine someone was destroying your stuff you don't want to be destroyed or trying to end your life prematurely you'd very much like to continue. Ah, you might say, but it's not immoral when done to bad people. But you are the bad people according to someone's definition.

If you don't understand how it's more morally questionable than helping victims of natural disasters you are a way worse person than op who naturally chose to say "I saved people from natural disaster", not "I went to hot countries to kill some brown folk and destroy some of their stuff because my commander said they were bad".


I don’t think you have to join the military to do that.


I don't need to join the military to airlift hundreds of tons of supplies from ship to shore in a natural disaster?


I guess op thinks that the supply chain delivers itself in an emergency.


You can do humanitarian aid without using it to whitewash murder and other violence.

We don't have to take the (rather overwhelming) bad with the slivers of good.


I've yet to see large scale humanitarian aid work without military involvement, ymmv. I'd like to see it.. I just don't think I've seen it.


How many military avionics technicians or dental assistants or petroleum supply specialists end up committing war crimes or suffering from PTSD? Come on.

We should be more judicious about using military forces as part of foreign policy, and provide better support to the combat troops who are deployed into impossible situations. But the majority of personnel are in low risk support jobs that aren't much different from typical civilian jobs. Lose the hyperbole.


> How many military avionics technicians or dental assistants or petroleum supply specialists end up committing war crimes or suffering from PTSD? Come on

In some countries, working for a criminal organization, will land you in jail.


You don’t get to choose, once you signed up. They can send you wherever they want.


Bullshit. Most enlistment contracts specify a particular career field. The troops in combat arms are there because they chose that option. The Pentagon isn't going to take a dental assistant and reassign them to infantry unless they specifically request that change (and meet various eligibility criteria).


That doesn’t mean that you can’t be sent to a war zone. I’m sure they needed dental assistants in Iraq and Afghanistan too.


You can choose. Get it in the contract or don't sign.


Your contract specified that you wouldn’t be sent to a war zone? I don’t believe that. You might be able to find a job that’s unlikely to get you deployed.


If the US military starts wantonly changing enlistment contracts, we aren't that far from a national draft anyway, so the distinction is kind of meaningless.


Yes, I'd call all of those (at the very least) accomplices when in a military context.

Good luck bombing anything without mechanics or gasoline, and medical staff helps lower the perceived stakes of war (however slightly).


I assure you that the average US soldier does not have a job nearly exciting enough to be committing war crimes. The average soldier is positioned in a nondescript base in the middle of Kansas changing HMMV tires and engine oil.

It's pretty hard to execute this job with dubious morality.


Happy to hear it worked out well for you. My point isn't to dismiss military as a career.

It's more about if you are a teenager deciding to join military because you believe the things a psyops egirl on TikTok told you, it's very likely that a series of disappointments is awaiting for you there on top of the opportunity cost of your wrong choice.


Sure you were on the first line of fire...


What's that?


Yeah... but if they can be tricked into joining the military, they're incredibly likely to waste their potential on other internet traps than divert it into something productive.

This give them a couple years of (mostly) internet detox before getting sent back into it.


“Anyone who can be fooled by an internet scam should be sent to war” is faulty in two ways, given that it hinges on a young person making poorly informed decisions:

  - being sent to war should probably not be the result of being young and gullible
  - if we need to send anyone to war, should we send the dumbest people we can find?


Productive… not sure the military produces much. More on the blow things up side of the divide if ya ask me.

But sure, if they don’t lose a limb, die or become traumatized and kill themselves it’s not a bad life course.


Sure..a manufacturer from china, which is renowned for their perfect worker right regulations with zero corruption, pulling out of Turkey and start a place in Egypt, which is also a great place for democracy and worker rights, etc. /S This narrow sight is killing me.


I find it either so naive or just to be a self-relaxing attempt to blame the gamer instead the game itself. Attacking and blaming those individuals or those patciular campanies which play the game as the rules are set, have always been easier than criticising corny capitalism we are living in. Virtue signaling over individuals or particular companies like this have always been a comfortable spot to be rather than trying go for the real reasons such as crony capitalism indeed is incentivizing everyone in the game to drop everything else but just what's written in the law related to morals or anything about being a human and just focus on the profit. In most of the times those individuals know all the rules they are given so good that they even calculate the penalties if they break them and they do so if breaking them is more profitable than paying for them. Yet we the people working under this rule feeling so accomplished pointing at fingers to those while all we do is distracting ourselves and everyone else from the real reasons not realizing doing so is just the same thing as sending "thought and prayers" to the ones who lost their jobs and mostly lost about their future, at least for a while.


That's about double the price of their WIFI 6E routers.

>Product availability for US market:

Archer BE900 -- BE24000 Quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router -- $699.99 Deco BE85--BE22000 Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System-- $999.99 (2 pack) Deco BE95 -- BE33000 Quad-band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System -- $1199.99 (2 pack) The three above products will be available for pre-order on 12/31/2022 and will ship in Q1, 2023. Additional products will become available throughout Q1 and Q2 2023.


It feels increasingly like wifi-routers and home-servers should increasingly converge. If you have such an expensive thing, why not have a fancy 8-core x86 system with a 5 drive NAS in it? Keep going, don't stop, make it the fixture of the network.

I think mainly this is held back by very few users being such power users. There's just not a lot of great ways to expose the power/capabilities to folk. Starting with some of the existing COTS NAS OS'es would probably be the best starting place.
