Deepthink R1(the reasoning model) was only released on January 20. Still took a while though.

You’re watching an empire in decline. It’s words stopped matching its actions decades ago.

Since it’s open source is there a way for companies to adjust so it doesn’t intentionally avoid saying anything bad about China?

I’d you ever have a spare invite and time, consider sending one my way! Thanks!

Payment is optional.

It’s America we’re talking about. This is a nation that traverses oceans and continents to shed blood for oil. An export tax on it from one of its major suppliers would be enough. The US would no doubt be able to weather any import tarriffs imposed by Canada but it will be bad for business for them. Canadian officials have already made a list of items they’re going to target which would impact $35+ billion in American goods.

Doubt that Trump sticks with this, and if he does, Canada is going to bring the US along for the ride kicking and screaming until it stops hitting itself.

Honestly just sounds like a white guy who grew up around a lot of black people and just wanted to fit in.

There is no winning for Canada here. Most Canadians are well aware of that. The goal is to make it hurt enough for Americans for the mutual hurt be as short-lived as possible.

As an elected official, Trump has to answer to the American people. If his policies worsen the affordability crisis (and retaliatory tariffs from Canada will achieve that for a notable subset of Americans) then he may be compelled to reverse course.

It’s a good thought but much less practical than retaliatory tariffs. I don’t think there is precedent (in recent times) of Western nations overtly violating each other’s intellectual property rights.

How are the speeds?

Why use it as a Tailscale exit node?

It’s hard to beat a network with an already established user base (Meta, Google)

Not sure how this is feasible unless you’re certain your audience is going to use a VPN too. Seems like a risky way to lose views ie. your revenue stream.

As of their last filing in September it is 10 to 12%

Unless there’s a serial number on the box that matches one printed on the product.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing this to Amazon or Walmart, especially when something breaks just outside of the return period and the warranty would be a pain to deal with.

I dunno, it only hurts the corporation and it’s on them for making a crappy product.

Some retailers (Costco) have very relaxed return policies so you wouldn’t even have to do this.

They don’t just put the product back out on the shelf. Often its sold to a liquidator. They would have to label it as open box and most brick and mortar retailers don’t sell open box items.

It does work. You have to be selective though. There’s a lot of cheap crap that people buy on amazon that are available on TEMU for 5 to 10x less.

Also you have to have low expectations. Just like when you buy cheap shit on Amazon. It’s more for little trinkets that you can get by without but may be useful.

The free shipping and free 90 day returns helps with the product not living up to expectations.

There are also American retailers on the site. I recently got an Anker wireless battery charger for $5-6 less than Amazon.

The only major downside is shipping. Nearly everyone is accustomed to one or two day shipping now. Temu shipping almost always takes 4-6 days.

I wonder if Canada sending its water bombers so that California doesn’t get burnt to a crisp counts as a transfer payment.
