They are unreachable. This is the most heavily propagandized country on the planet and most don’t have the education to understand our political situation. Try and explain why corporate campaign financing is a bad idea and half of us start whinging about freedom of speech.
Roughly half of the population has absolutely no clue what’s going on. Kids, old people, non-news-readers/viewers, etc.
A third of the population is vaguely aware that some shit is going down based on vibes but can’t identify the problem.
Half the remaining sixth can identify the problem as political but misattribute the cause. Leaving just a 12th of the population actually aware of our situation.
His heel-turn occurred three years before that when he sold Oculus to Facebook in 2014.
Very much no.
They’re more like those pixel physics sandboxes combined with a real-time strategy game. The enemy faction is a simulated liquid.
Not since Bad Company 2 like 15 years ago
Those aren’t words that can easily be confused for each other due to accents or minor variance in pronunciation.
And besides, we already have a genre name for Vampire Survivor-alikes. They’re bullet heavens.
Seems like an insufficient difference for two genres that are so distinct. Plenty of opportunities for confusion.
Survival games are already a thing, though.
I used to work for HostGator and sadly that sounds about right. They started going downhill fast after the second buyout.
Omfg.
I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.
And now there’s a thread on this exact topic. Y’all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense, Baader-Meinhof alone isn’t enough to explain how frequently shit like this happens. XD
Minor point, these staffers resigned from the USDS after it was renamed to DOGE. The institution has already been replaced.
Pretend they are Republicans and start breaking the rules.
Americans are the most domesticated and propagandized culture on the planet. I gave up on the ideal of mass consciousness after Occupy, because the billionaires who own this country have spent generations dumbing it down to the point that almost nobody cares. We’re not seeing mass protests of the kind you describe untill things get very bad for a lot of people.
Seems to me that the most generous interpretation would be the preponderance of Oracle’s DBs in the government, and Musk being pedantic since they aren’t literally called “SQL” like MySQL, MSSQL, or PostgreSQL (even though most Oracle DBs still fall into that category).
Not unless the data associated with that SSN is itself inconsistent.
For example, when multiple people are fraudulently using the same SSN, the fraud monitoring DB would neccessarily need to record several entries with the same SSN.
Indeed, that’s a possibility, but I’m not privy to the structure of the social security administration’s databases so I couldn’t say if it was indeed the case.
The deeper point being, if the government has any databases at all, then some form of Structured Query Language is being used to read and write it.
To oversimplify, there are two basic kinds of databases: SQL (Structured Query Language, usually pronounced like “sequel” or spelled aloud) and noSQL (“Not Only SQL”).
SQL databases work as you’d imagine, with tables of rows and columns like a spreadsheet that are structured according to a fixed schema.
NoSQL includes all other forms of databases, document-based, graph-based, key-value pairs, etc.
The former are highly consistent and efficient at processing complicated queries or recording transactions, while the latter are more flexible and can be very fast at reads/writes but are harder to keep in sync as a result.
All large orgs will have both types in use for different purposes; SQL is better for banking needs where provable consistency is paramount, NoSQL better for real-time web apps and big data processing that need minimal response times and scalable capacity.
That Musk would claim the government doesn’t use SQL immediately betrays him as someone who is entirely unfamiliar with database administration, because SQL is everywhere.
As an enby that’s considering fleeing the USA, I’d note that it only discourages the most awful Americans. XD
