They would know I guess

If it’s only on your local network, you can achieve this pretty easily with python’s built in http web server. Find a site that transforms urls into QR codes, save them in a directory on your computer, slap some html and css in there to present the QR code images how you want, and create a few simple routes for the corresponding images. Put it all in a index.html file, then open a terminal in that folder and type

python3 -m http.server

Read the docs on that command to specify the address and such. You’ll need that to be consistent for the QR code generation step.

Gonna be a lot of discoveries like this in the coming years. What a fucking tragedy we’ve made of everything.

I’m going to make a solar powered, battery backed, portable power supply that’s beefy enough to power an Amcrest wifi security camera 24/7. The front gate entrance to my house is pretty far away and I’d like to point a camera at it that I can view on my local area network.

Yeah, Neanderthals were famous for their efficient large-scale manufacturing capabilities

Governments are one of the few entities that are able (and occasionally willing) to spin up a mass production endeavor without the profit motive necessarily present.

Sometimes they essentially do this themselves via federal employees, or contractors. Sometimes they achieve the ends indirectly by incentivizing private companies with subsidies and the like.

Regardless of how it gets done, everyone shows up for work in the morning motivated by something. In the Soviet Union this was often the fear of imprisonment or other such violence, which was a really shitty situation for a lot of people to be in. In the modern world, it’s typically the hope that the money made will pay for food and housing and such.

Without the motivation to make a profit, few entities are both willing and able to engage in the considerable expense, risk, and effort required to spin up a mass production line.

Wow that voice is amazing! I got goosebumps when she went all guttural for a second there

Basically the same thing…

I’m gonna guess pacemaker

I also have a degree in economics (and computer science, fwiw). We agree that the incentive structures in the United States are fucked up. I was just answering the question in the meme with regards to manufacturing decisions and how/why they’re made. Discontinuing our perverse car-centric subsidy schemes would be a great way to steer demand and supply away from cars.

Because planned economies are a terrible idea. We would be doing this efficiently and organically if the demand for bikes and public transportation was higher and the demand for cars was lower.

Why don’t we uproot all our vegetable crops and grow cherry trees? Cherries are delicious so this is obviously a great idea!

The only reason you have food on your plate is because economies adjust incrementally from the ground up, not all at once from the top down.

The article said the doxxy info was being hosted on a Russian website that doesn’t cooperate with takedown requests. So, that’s the answer to your second suggestion. As for the first, I hope they do. At this point it’s all or nothing for him, so he’s got nothing to lose by racking up more charges. If even one of the ~95 charges against him sticks, he’ll be in prison for the rest of his saggy ass days.

Too bad, I guess. I liked this show but I also let my Hulu subscription lapse A few months ago with no real consequence to my overall happiness.

As a Texan, I rarely have good things to say about Texas these days, so I’ll take the opportunity to say that this shit would literally not fly around here. It would be a great way to chew through your drone budget in record time, anyway.

NuqneH! You have arrived at Ch’ahchskis

Traitors get hanged.
