  • Italy now recognizes the crime of femicide and punishes it with life in prison

    Jump

  • So not very long at all /s, not that it shouldn't be a word, but rather, why complicate the legal system needlessly when such systems rely on relativity, clarity, and consistency. Outside of that context we can have 10000 words for it.

  • Teen Sues To Destroy the Nudify App That Left Her in Constant Fear

  • This new tech means we need to get over nudity and what even is real vs fake in all media. Causing harm due to bodies, let alone fake ones is a societal and cultural failure.

  • I see no reason to make a special specific word as every category needs this...

    They should just add modifiers to the category: Assault for instance can get aggravated and hate crime as adjuvants. Murder has manslaughter and degrees and could have hate crime modifiers.

    This is a more fair and clear generalized solution of core concepts than entirely new specific categories.

  • Well you'd think they would include that in the calculation.

  • Should have to register them against a business or something that is licensed for truck use... Then let other people rent them.

  • So they didn't do it. The buffer is just more money in the same bucket they just hope they don't have to use, but they have direct control over neither. Emergency powers should probably transfer to an impartial body of possible recipient analysts so funds cannot be used as political fodder.

  • USA: Shoplifting Has Increased 93% Since 2019; 45 % of Shoplifters are Stealing Food

    Jump

  • Ah sure, but are they just counting that 45% of stolen goods are food items, or 45% are only stealing food, and if so, how can they know that? What was the percent previously?

  • Oop I meant they are not you are, but yeah, who knows

  • USA: Shoplifting Has Increased 93% Since 2019; 45 % of Shoplifters are Stealing Food

  • I mean they can tell you item counts missing and total value, but how are they counting percentage of patrons? Unless you are extrapolating from catching people and assuming some likelihood of being caught...

  • Wikipedia co-founder joins editing conflict over the Gaza genocide page

    Jump

  • Ends up in semantics though... Contested only requires 1, and highly or widely is not defined, and who is a qualifying contributor is not qualified, and who is a qualifying arbiter is not defined.

    Depending on how invested he is in the feedback, he may not even realize currently it's being read outside the context of the wiki editing neutrality issue he was talking about for the article.

    I know nothing about his politics, and can only talk about the semantic concepts.

  • Maybe if we consider accidents. I don't really understand how they can even measure this in the first place, maybe a poll but that's very unreliable methodology and sample monitoring would need a crazy large N.

  • USA: Shoplifting Has Increased 93% Since 2019; 45 % of Shoplifters are Stealing Food

    Jump

  • This doesn't appear normalized to cost increases, which might outpace the rate, which means theft is down. I seriously doubt half of all people are stealing food.

  • Wikipedia co-founder joins editing conflict over the Gaza genocide page

    Jump

  • To play devil's advocate, due to the formulation of his edit suggestion, he may have meant how to depict the claims is being highly contested (on wiki) and should be more neutral and specific as per who is claiming what... And said it badly.

  • The Homeless

    Jump

  • Already explained why... Lots of positions are just nice to have, but are subsidized already, entirely, by other positions that generate all revenue. In many cases you don't want the business to go away entirely, and in many cases the business wouldn't even fail, you'd just end up with the optional positions terminated, so those employees make 0/hr instead.

    Another poster already contributed a valid solution of UBI.

  • This is likely a reasonable solution.

  • Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem.

    Jump

  • This was always the case. Most people couldn't Google factual info previously either... I'd almost be willing to argue the rate AI is wrong might actually be less than the previous rate of the average person left to "do your own research" ...

    But it's also possible AI being fed presupposed answers embedded in the questions combined with prevalence of disinformation farms + no scientific consensus truth authority could lead to an ouroboros effect, greatly amplifying bullshit seekers and magical thinkers over time.

  • Assuming 25/hr minimum living wage: There are optional positions within businesses that are nice to have, but very simple, but can be opted to be done for any number of hours a day up to full time, and cannot be justified to carry 25/hr... You could have a company offering menial work on razor thin margins, but some people like working there, like scooping ice cream, which could not otherwise exist at 25/hr. There are small businesses that people want to work with that don't make enough to pay everyone 25/hr (ex. some small gyms). There are cases where low revenue businesses could pay with future equity, but cannot afford 25/hr now. You have to account for these cases in your rules.
