  • Louisiana's new "Ten Commandments" law actually contains eleven commandments

  • God gave plenty more laws in the next few books of the Bible. The famous commandments about not mixing fabrics or cutting your hair? Yeah Moses of the Ten Commandments is behind that book too.

  • So if it makes sense to charge people in India 1/4 the people in the US why can't we pretend we are in India? People travel to other continents for healthcare.

  • GOP resolution calls on SCOTUS to ‘intervene’ in Trump’s hush money case

    Jump

  • I don't think so, but they have also used their shadow docket more and more to do things that are unprecedented. It's not 100% unbelievable.

  • GOP resolution calls on SCOTUS to ‘intervene’ in Trump’s hush money case

    Jump

  • Sadly I think original jurisdiction of SCOTUS means they could choose to jump the line and hear the case. However it would be unprecedented to do so as a) they don't have time to review every state felony case and b) his lawyers have yet to actually make a case that the trial was performed wrongly.

    But in this case, Trump does want an appeal, but probably can't wait til June '25 to have it

  • As others pointed out, a lot of factors would go into this decision. How many working hours can she normally put in if the average client only pays for an hour? How much time does she have to spend cleaning herself up between? How much risk is there in taking a new client?

    Its pretty similar to working freelance compared to a paycheck. If I wanted to go on my own as a freelancer I could probably charge 2-3x my hourly salary rate as a freelancer. But I'd have to hunt for my next meal. I'd have to figure out all my 1099s. I'd have to change stragies to get new clients.... Or I can just work my current corpo job making an OK salary but always know I have a paycheck coming and insurance.

  • Supreme Court Upholds Law That Bans Domestic Abusers From Owning Guns

    Jump

  • My friend was upset about this making it to SCOTUS a few weeks ago. How can the courts suspend your 2nd amendment rights before a trial?

    Well what is a gag order? What is contempt of court? It turns out when you are credibly accused and/or indicted for certain crimes courts ARE allowed to constrain your constitutional rights, when their is good reason, while the court proceedings go along.

    This would be as stupid as letting the dealer keep his bricks of heroine until which time a lab can check and double check that it's indeed heroin.

    Fucking bonkers that someone on trial for a shooting/death threats would be able to KEEP THEIR GUNS.

    Thomas is clearly insane.

  • How Nvidia became an AI giant

    Jump

  • Nvidia makes a real product. An AI bubble might hurt them but probably not the same as the companies who have been buying their product.

  • TIL most cultures and peoples all over the world have historically had trouble recognizing the color blue

    Jump

  • Whatever the fuck podcast popularized the idea that blue just didn't exist? Yeah stupid.

    I do believe there is some relationship between one's main language and how it affects thought patterns, but I mean cmon, even if I don't know every word for shades of green (avocado VS chartreuse) doesn't mean I'm not capable of distinguishing them. I may not have an exacting language tool set for distinguishing them. But I could.

  • Yes I'm implying student logic is only applicable in contexts where a teacher has laid out a test for you to intuit.

    Student logic doesn't apply when you have to come up with a new idea to an actual problem that exists in the real world.

    There is value to learning student logic. It shows creativity. It shows a level of understanding of the material and how to be a teacher. But it's not the same as learning the material.

  • Close enough for government work

    Jump

  • Sure.

    But if their isn't some human author to your problem, student logic will be way less helpful than logic actually honed by learning how to learn.

  • Close enough for government work

    Jump

  • Because actually learning will do both. Learning only calculated guesses will only really teach you how to deal with manufactured scenarios. I won't really even serve you much past high school.

  • Close enough for government work

    Jump

  • Yeah I mean in some cases it's not hard to surmise. Given the context (class, diagram) and how many numbers you have assigned, what formulas are available to you, you might be able to guess the teacher shoved the numbers into the wrong formulas to create the incorrect answers. For some classes simply supplying nearby numbers to the correct response might not be "real" enough.

    Student logic is certainly a thing, but I can't image it much help for the complexity shown in the meme. Basic geometry or math word problems as found in biology or statistics? Yeah sure
