You need to worry about the rest of the spending. This project will bring many many times of its cost as profit over the years.

I think it is pretty safe to have doubts about Egyptian government profit projections. They also said the same thing about doubling the Suez canal but revenues did not meet projections and now they are planning to expand it again. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/egypt-plans-expand-suez-c...

It won't if the rest of the country collapses from being overleveraged.

This is very accurate. Thanks for speaking out.

Just come to US pls. It is the whole package you sign up for not just the salaries. Shitty food, healthcare etc.

I missed my chance for the great relocation. But buddies in New York and San Diego are doing just fine. Both of them make total comp of roughly quarter million and are buying everything they want. The food is good, hospitals modern and clean.

But isnt the information somehow cached when you start a new chat and build context with say GPT4? If the caching was so large as you say so many chat sessions in parallel would not be possible.

That's not my understanding. We can't be sure how OpenAI does things themselves, but adding messages to a conversation in the API means just rerunning the history through the prompt every time

Does Goog have anything like openai assistant via API? If they had I would definitely give it a try.


What is the issue with cooked rice?


IIRC the issue is with cultures that leave rice out on the counter at room temperature, because of historical inertia from per-refrigeration times. In that case, it does support life like anything else moist and pH neutral.

But there is no problem if you follow good food safety practices -- everybody puts the lid back on the pot after they've served themselves, and any leftover goes in the fridge within 4 hours of cooking.


Cooked rice goes bad pretty quickly even in the fridge and can make you pretty sick if you eat it.


This is not true.


Sure it’s true. Uncooked rice often contains the bacteria Bacillus cereus. These bacteria can form protective spores that survive the cooking process and if the rice is cooled slowly these bacteria spores can germinate, grow and produce a toxin that causes vomiting.


If you’ve eaten the dish known as fried rice, the rice used there has been cooked and then chilled for 24 hours. So while what you’re saying is true, the topic is complex.


Most web results I found say rice is good for 3-4 days in the fridge, but it’s safest if you cool it quickly after cooking.

But 24 hours is fine. I just got some food poisoning from eating 5 or 6 day old rice a few times and was surprised it went bad in under a week.


People don't understand that refrigeration stops the growth of toxic bacteria, and throw away perfectly good rice because they lack a basic understanding of biology.


Would you really say “stops”? Not “slows”? Things still do go bad in there, idk about bacteria though— but mold for sure.


> People don't understand that refrigeration stops the growth of toxic bacteria

I’ve never met a single person who doesn’t know this.


The issue is not refrigeration, but how you got to there: how is the hot rice cooled before putting it in the fridge.

I imagine not everyone has a blast chiller at home. Does one leave it to cool off naturally, and in what kind of container? Perhaps overnight?

During this process, the rice can take hours to go from 90°C to room temp, and it is during this process that the toxins are created. It might be too late when you put it in the fridge.

Cooling off needs ro be done as quickly as possible by spreading the rice, for instance.

It is not necessarily the lack of basic understanding of biology that causes people to get sick and therefore many to throw away good rice, but the incomplete understanding of the cooking process.

When you get a box of cold rice, there is no way of smelling how it has been cooled and if it is toxic or not.


In all my experiences, rice cools off pretty fast and dries out pretty fast. It may be starchy and risk B. cereus but it really isn't the greatest medium for it unlike pasta covered in sauce.


This is the correct answer. I think people are approaching this emotionally. The problem is if you start infringing on it there simply is no end.


Apparently as far as I learned from a lawyer the answer is yes. If you are not acting or planning to act on it what you described is protected under free speech.


Do you really think say if you listen to US MSM you will make up your mind correctly?. They are constantly making up stuff and omitting facts to influence public opinion.


Well at this point, I'm not so sure some of what I've seen on US MSM isn't created by foreign interference.

Anyway, I get your point but the difference here is this, you're allowed to ask questions like that in the very places where this nonsense is being fabricated.

That same toxic propaganda shouldn't be allowed to spread freely and unabated within our information space or we become those very dystopias we try to avoid.

I think this blind belief that "all information" is part of "free speech" is our Achilles heel, it might destroy our country.


Also many european countries are not actively fighting a war. I do not really think it was the right decision to ban RT what are they scared of?
