It was a different time and age, which is why I'll excuse her. Today, I would go full retard even on my own parents if they did that with my children (and rightly so).

Most (literate, educated) Indians have been trained the same, and it has very little to do with religion. When you do accidentally step on a book though, each religion has their own format - Hindus touch the book then touch their head then

I'd say Gemini over Anthropic. Google's overcaution literally hamstrung its own AI progression efforts. Anthropic is just all talk, no bluster, when it comes to safety and ethics. If they were ah so concerned about AI safety, they

Fair point, and explains why I was downvoted. My focus was on mostly the usual slew of companies that don't reward their employees in stock options, but handsomely reward their CEOs - O&G, pharma and biotech, advanced manufacturing

Currently equity appreciation is desirable for HNWIs because wealth isn't taxed, only income realized is. The more their wealth appreciates, the more viable it becomes as collateral they can borrow against, raising their borrowing capa

A wealth tax would also be beneficial in reducing wasteful stock buybacks. Without any benefits from high stock prices, boards and shareholders will be less inclined to impose those price targets on CEOs, CEOs will be less incentivised to &

Are we still fooling ourselves thinking that China is such a benevolent manufacturing partner? I don't mind China - heck, I've even had dinner with some CCP honchos and would gladly partner with the Chinese given the right opportu

Memory chip shortage lasting *until China floods the market with their cheaper but rigged chips. FTFY. At the rate China's moving on this, it won't be long till they get a stranglehold on the consumer chip market.

This is plain obvious, I don't know why this isn't mainstream everywhere. The new cars with white lights are often blinding.

Not in the Alps, but mid summer looked like the start of autumn. At this rate, it won't be long until we don't even have an autumn like the tropics. Swiss Tourism Agency will have to work overtime now promoting Tiktok clips and In

Given that America selects its cops like I select my cheeseburgers at my local joint, I don't think any framework will suffice. Frameworks only work when there are consequences for not following them.

Regardless, better that they're the ones who spend the money for these reactors, and better that they use nuclear instead of coal or gas plants. One option is to also mandatorily lock the powerplants to the municipal grid, and provide

That's the entire point - the Californian company leaves the higher-value R&D jobs in California, while it outsources the lower-value but still necessary manufacturing jobs/data warehousing jobs to Missouri. Both places benefi

Don't forget the two government buildings and sessions, for absolutely no fucking reason, because why not? Let's add even more bureaucracy to the mix! It's better to be an EU MEP and do absolutely fuck all tbh.

Exactly - personal computers are really just a very "millennial" thing. Only (very) late GenX and millennials grew up with, learned on and interacted with PCs on an hourly basis. By the time GenZs came knocking around, consoles an

Last I checked, the Union Govt is not going around imposing English everywhere like they are pushing Hindi. Also India's wealth is always going to be limited to 5-10℅ of the citizenry. India is pretty much USA on steroids at this point

Even if they run out of THAAD, they have L-SAM systems. That being said, as I mentioned elsewhere, South Korea is choosing the pragmatic path because their optimal first strike scenario requires too many variables to be aligned properly.

"Recently invented" trebuchet used in 1304, "a weapon first documented in the 12th century". Something's amiss. Trebuchets were certainly used by Richard the Lionheart and Phillip II - God's Own Sling and Bad N

Yeah, I realized that when going down the rabbit hole. In a certain respect, the French were the least asshole-ish of the lot, simply because they didn't know how to colonize and extract properly.

North Korea has an estimated 60 warheads. I'm sure SK has more than enough THAADs to deal with launched ones and the aerial capability to disable nuke sites.
