  1. China has used resources to buy alliances with developing countries, like pretty much all of Africa, which they leveraged at the UN to have the communist party recognized.

    Sadly you have to start caring for things to get better first.

  2. I would argue the us supreme court is already doing that
  3. Cuda is 20 years old and it shows. Time for a new language that fixes the 20 years of rough edges. The Guy (Lattner) who made LLVM is working on this: https://www.modular.com/mojo

    Good podcast on him: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/from-swift-to-moj...

  4. GMOs aren't toxic chemicals, two distinct things
  5. First acknowledge AO death was in 2015, they gaslighted entire generations. Had Nixon not sent his campaign manager to Vietnam in 1969, and promised the VietCong a better deal later when he was president, we wouldn't have spent those five unneeded years there and wouldn't have used AO.
  6. And get in in the air intakes for the AC, or even if they closed it off to only recycle internal air, they brought chemical in with them
  7. The other thing you should know is that they use it to help the plants grow, but they use larger amounts to kill the plants at the same time so they can uniformly harvest. So we eat more of this crap than you'd expect, because they are using it beyond expected ways
  8. Recommendations for an alternative?
  9. How much do they pay the football coach?
  10. Massively over inflating your vehicles to the point they can't move them in the market?
  11. Moving megabytes and then gigabytes were really expensive and error prone. physical media was faster and practically no error.
  12. Light rail would be 1,000x better
  13. "group of people pushing age verification for kids disappear."

    Parents need to parent then, but the amount that will are still larger than the people who want mass surveillance because they can't be arsed to raise their kids.

    If they are too lazy to raise their kids, they don't have the energy to push the nanny state forward.

  14. The second a stable coin is -$0.01, it has no value, because it is not stable.
  15. "The dirtiest secret in higher education is that there is no good data on the quality of teaching and teachers on college campuses"

    Which is why it is nearly all farmed out to part time adjuncts. Quality is in the brand and a piece of parchment, not the education (for the most part).

  16. Aristotle didn't like kids writing, because it would harm their memorization. People didn't like all the books kids were reading, didn't like newspapers, didn't like radio, didn't like the phone, didn't like TV, didn't like the movies, didn't like the internet. This argument "for the kids" is ~2,300 years old and you know what? They were all wrong, they just don't like progress.

    But this Nanny-State approach is completely backwards, parents need to parent, not the state.

  17. Y u no want copilot???
  18. feudal-capitalists
  19. This will fit in nicely with the $16 billion they made last year supporting personalized AI scams on their users that they won't stop because it makes them so much money
  20. Star Trek: Voyager(7 seasons, 172 episodes) And they still rushed it at the end.
