If you want to command something in the water, you run a wire from that something to a receiver in the cabin.

If set up properly, Mastodon can pull in Lemmy and Kbin posts and comments. What is Mastodon trying to be?

The answer in both cases: it depends on how you set them up.

It’s much easier if you reframe the problem:

Someone says they’ve built a machine that can perfectly predict what you will do. Do you believe them?

If so, take one box.
If not, take both boxes.

Make a ton of money, or depending on how things go, lose a ton of money.

I think it’s pretty simple.

  • Wagner and the Russian Army are competing for increasingly limited supplies in Ukraine.

  • This led Prigozhin to complain publicly about the Russian Ministry of Defense.

  • In response, Putin was planning to subordinate Wagner to the Russian Army.

Subordination would limit Prigozhin’s power and also reduce or eliminate his personal source of income. Which basically forced the events playing out today.

This is exactly right. There have been various interviews with college admissions directors over the past year, and they pretty much all said the same thing. To paraphrase, “We expect that AA will be struck down. If we can’t directly ask about race on the application, then we will achieve the same result by indirect means”.

AA opponents mistakenly believe that colleges will now be forced to consider only grades and test scores. Nothing could be further from the truth.

On the contrary, it’s often both.

I doubt it was much of an added expense. The search was carried out by Coast Guard and Navy personnel, who would be getting paid regardless.

If the sub hadn’t gone missing, it’s quite likely their time and resources would have been spent on practicing some sort of rescue mission.
