Hear me out: what i, this is a plot to boost vegan numbers. Given latest stats huge portion of population does not use or see any use in AI - i.e. can be claimed AI vegans so in aggregation reports those could be viewed as a subset of Vegans... resulting in undeniable truth that 90%+ of population are vegan now
Israel (or more precisely it's PM and his clique) is definitely interested in prolonging the war, the same as Hamas. One can't talk of one without the other. There werr some materials floating around that at some point Israel "sponsored" Hamas the same as US sponsored middle east terrorist groups just to be attacked by them later.
Keeping state of constant war is a very lucrative endeavour - you can shatter liberties, you can subject population to virtually anything claiming "war time" and rake profits from arms trade etc. While raiding humanitarian aid warehouses etc. It's a very dirty business. Hamas needs to be disarmed and disbanded, Netaniahu has to be deposed and persecuted, Palestine should be it's own state and Israeli need to return what's not really theirs. But none of the homicidal entities is willing to be persecuted thus this war will continue until one of them destroyed or reformed
effective city planning would be better like a lot better. Having environmental clues and enforcement techniques is way more effective as it prevents and not punishes. Person injured from speeding incident is not going to be saved by $500 or whatever fine. When driver physically feels unsafe crossing certain speed limit - there's no reason to monitor or fine him/her. "More cameras" is a cheap brand bandaid that peels off two hours later. It is trying to save people "after the fact", when it's way too late
high horse? Hardly. Not having principles and being opportunistic is how they lost last election. Sitting on their hands all this time approving republican bills is a confirmation to that. Epstein has ZERO impact on average worker at this point. Yes criminals have to be in jail and human trafficking is a disgust. However this will affect lives of hundreds while millions are still not protected and Democrats have no intent of protecting working class. Biden flirted with more pro-worker stance and with Haris things were back to status quo. So no, my friend no high horse, just looking realistically.
that probably goes along with that $20M zuck offered to AI professionals. Yeah, we'll pay you $20M a year, you'll be spent around 6mon into the job your productivity will be 60% so.. (taps calculator) we get f#ck all for a sh%t ton of money and destroy people... letsdoit!
Tech could be an answer, but you have to also pause and think about the impact here. When FB or twitter screws up we shrug and move on, when people get improperly audited it could be literally life and death situation, or approval of drug grants for those with "exotic" illnesses. Modernisation of work has to happen however "just throwing tech" at it won't work. Instead of laying off 60k people they should be trained and equipped with better tools to do their jobs faster and better. So tech would be part if that, tech alone is a sure recipe for disaster. Now if we add government tech procurement standards - I see no hope in tech at all as surely winner of any contract will deliver past due date, over budget and with missing features.
One way to flip it would be mandating procurement OSS products only, produced in the open from day 1. This may help expose deficiencies early on and call BS o over-billed hours if all commits are accounted for. Still you need people with domain knowledge to steer those processes and to be able to actually scope future solutions.
China has aggressively acted towards neighbouring countries, redrawing borders and setting up for outright occupation. Assuming that now is not the time of military unity is reckless and dangerous. Yes we do have other problems we need to tackle but even if we do tackle them and not China expansionist politics we soon will find ourselves outgunned and with no allies. It's a tough call but oversimplifying it down to "we don't need to spend more on military" is very uninformed.
tramping religious rights of locals is fine, but don't you dare to touch christianity. Christian churches get tax exemptions etc. I'm an atheist but this is a glaring discriminatiin. You either disregard all religions or tiptoe around all of them there's nothing in between
I don't think this will move the needle AOC way, calling him rapist however will only make MAGA close the ranks around him. So it may actually backfire. Lots of respect for AOC but I think that was not the moment in which such statement can have amplified effect
by using their terms/names you give them legitimacy. Do not fall for it. Less platform they have, less damage they can inflict. Remember their task is to "flood the zone" and adding MAGA to your vocabulary is helping them. "Misinformed Americans" or "Malicious Americans" or "Mindless Americans" are more appropriate terms
Incorrect. In certain areas (like mine) only grass grows very well and is very prolific chocking off any other species. Grazers make a lot more sense and a lot less impact. Including soil build-up for future crop raising.
incorrect assessment: unions will gladly collaborate with 3rd party corps if it benefits them. Also unions protect interests of their members, not entire humanity...
this only holds for industrial red meat. I love it when everything gets lumped together and presented as "evidence". Non-industrial, small scale farming actually can have reverse effect. But we don't talk about avoiding industrial products, because... why? 100mile diet that includes sustainably raised meat (white, red blue - whatever) from local farm will have minimal impact on environment. Shall we talk about avocados in Canada or Almonds? Study lacks nuance and produces flashy headings with no substance.
are you claiming that nation protesting the language or assumptions are also right-wing propaganda? In times of renewed russian aggression one has to be rather precise describing reality and qualify when terminology used is referring terminology from the past. Fact is that russia frequently leapfrogs ambiguous statements twisting them into supporting argument of their narratives.
