The probable standard answer for every large organization: Those were the responsibilities of different teams.

Then you'll be glad to hear these were forbidden in the US in 1947.

The average income for teachers seems to be $67k in California? That doesn't really sound eye-watering.

Cruelty is an outcome. It can be the result of an intent or motivation, but doesn't have to.

Intent and motivation are describing human thought process. We can apply this metaphorically to corporations to illustrate a point, but corporations can't literally have motivations. Systems theory (and thus the above heuristi

Sorry if I'm being too thick here, but a blur filter needs information about the neighbour pixels. It can't operate on a single pixel alone (well it changes things pixel by pixel, but needs the neighbour pixels as input). If I can

I think we'd first have to find common ground on what the purpose of a free press is. In my opinion the goal is to have informed citizens that can have informed participation in the democratic decision-making process. For that, we not

Yes. But news should strive for thruth, not for objectivity. For example, if the president says something that is evidently false, the press IMO has the responsibility to say so, even if this is clearly biased towards the interests of the o

There's almost zero political topics where objectivity is possible. That goal itself is usually already ideology (the goal of unbiasedness often stands in opposition of truth). Look at global warming: Either it is man-made or not, eith

Then just deploy more? The difference in price compared to nuclear is so high that we can easily install double the renewables we need and still come out cheaper.

You are confusing different concepts: ideology and religion. Ideologies are a set of ethical / moral assumptions about what is right and just, i.e. they are about human practice , about what humans ought to do . Religions are ideol

I see, thanks a lot. As far as I could read in the few minutes, the Federalists were opposed to identity theory, Rousseau's idea of direct democracy without political parties, whereas the Federalists were pluralists, like Kant and Aris

I have no idea what this means, but I'm also completely illiterate in US political theory. Is your point that republic implies strong federalism and democratic does not?

The irritating thing is that this is often possible even with modern JS. I shipped a rather complex app (though still essentially CRUD that's used internally) this winter that is Vue 3 based. It's just the Vue library itself plus
