With Google manipulating AI results this is not guaranteed to work, but would help identify the human intervention.

Which means it is not really artificial intelligence. Maybe the culture at Google prevented someone from raising this very issue. It’s almost like they ran a search, didn’t like the results, and someone said that results must include divers

This kind of deadlock should not happen. I think it’s indicative of what has gone wrong with the United States. Congress, nobody is willing to give an inch, and everything is a personal fight to the death.

Full disclosure, I have a Tesla and I love it. I have access to superchargers and home charging, and it has not really increased my utility bill. We should all want emissions free driving, I don’t think that is the issue, but to get there t

Makes you wonder if social isolation is a cause of dementia, thinking less means less brain stimulation.

I’ve wondered if what we need in society are nonprofits that advocate exclusively against certain evil and nefarious corporations. Imagine what an org could do with a few million and a mission to combat Comcast and expose their behavior. On

Arguably permissible hard drug use has been a disaster. Maybe we need government disassociation houses where you can feed an addiction or desire, but carefully managed. I don’t see how that is possible when hard drugs are so pervasive and u

Agreed. There is a utopian naïveté that reminds me of trust fund kids.

As soon as it is taxpayer funded and people are directly involved in eating the costs for making things safer, previously high standards drop to ankle level. Probably the number one argument against universal healthcare, or any government

I am now fully returned to the office, and while I miss not having to put on clothes, it’s much better for my career. A lot of my job is meeting and talking to people, and making those connections for later. I can’t do that at home. Isolate

What about a process similar to sudden depressurization on an airplane? You just go to sleep.

But that doesn't quite line up with what is going on. They did not remove his videos, they demonetized them. Youtube is still running ads on Brand's videos, so the content is still being paid for by advertisers. If advertise

Nay: The Vox Populi hate controversy. Like any cancellation, the masses bombard something demanding a pound of flesh. To avoid controversy and pacify the masses, platforms cave. There is no downside for YouTube demonetizing someone that has

It's like a lot of things: A lot of dietary supplements are scams, but a lot of them are legitimate. The core issue for people who take dietary supplements is that a) they probably don't need it, b) they may be taking too much, an

Dietary supplements in America are very loosely regulated. The law that governs this is the Dietary Health Supplements Act. Tl;dr DSHEA classified dietary supplements as a food or food product which the FDA classifies as "generally r

"Americans can barely afford homes.. where they want to live ." There, fixed it. America is full of affordable homes but they're not in cute little walkable communities. Zoning, demand, and density has driven up the price of

Europe solved this problem ages ago with pay toilets and regular police patrol. Some even clean themselves which has an added benefit of dissuading long term residents. The problem has been solved but city's avoid this because NIMBY&#x

Yet. After Oregon and Canada I could absolutely see California legalizing everything. There is a strong push to the extreme left in California and it seems inevitable.

Drugs like mushrooms and marijuana can lead to dependency but they don't have the debilitating life-destroying effects that the harder stuff does. The hard stuff causes the societal problems you saw. Marijuana and mushrooms, can't

You're captive to the airport. If you want something to eat you have to pay airport prices, there's not a lot you can do about it other than bringing in your own food. Airport vendors know this so they charge accordingly.
