“No cost universal child care” Also: “savings of $12,000 per year” So this will be financed by a voluntary election by those who support it, i.e., voluntary increase in the various taxes people pay in NM?

How can we just ignore the elephant in the room; that not only has the UK population risen by almost a 1/3 since 1960, but the nature of that population has also been changed since that time, regardless of how one feels about it. The U

That is simply not a good argument. Any number of things could even explain that is it were true, starting with the most basic and obvious math problem; the fact that their reproductive rates are way higher so any percentage of older people

It varies, just like across the USA. Some places have low pressure and rate limiting requirements for faucets of various types, other places do not, because they have ample amounts of water. In many places in Europe it is ironically the sew

The open plotting happens in western countries too, my friend. I have personally been witness to it. The irony is that the same reasons that were give for not "reporting" things is also similar to why things in the west are not &q

It very much sounds like it; "grooming" and instrumentalizing the local younger generation's innate and legitimate frustrations for western (read: Israeli, British, and US "intelligence" cabal clowns) interests to f

I can attest that’s companies, especially large ones will generally know the rules better than the various government agencies and people, precisely because they have an incentive to know, they pay people to know, and there is risk involved

It feels like manipulative lying to me when they show the distribution of PM2.5 in the USA through that heat map, where the scale of pollution only goes to 15 when the most non-European block countries are way higher than 15. [1] https:&#x

That does not make any sense to me. Now [inhalable] drug users and smokers are "at risk populations" and it's not the drug use or the direct inhaling of smoke, soot, and ash…usually without filtration…that is the issue and pr

Why do they show a picture of polluted India with people wearing masks and have some kind of skin thing going on, and then go on to show a heat map of PM2.5 rates across the USA, where the most polluted areas are nowhere near as polluted as

I am not familiar, so I don't know, but do they assume something like 31,536,000x speed of light to make the galaxy even remotely navigable, e.g., the ability to navigate from Earth to Alpha Centauri within 4.34 seconds?

Here's a better option that Google will more likely follow; simply build the fines into operation costs and bill that to EU customers or maybe all Google customers looking to serve ads in the EU. I am not sure why but otherwise seeming

BART specifically is also a kind of lighting rod of the political, social, economic fissure that runs through American culture; the difference in perspective of the adversarial camps, like different tribes. It is a microcosm, a bit of a lit

This is so naive. I suggest you inform yourself more about things you clearly know nothing about. Ironically Iowa would be very much affected and likely depopulated by fallout from primary nuclear targets in Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebr

Most of these nuclear tests were underground and undersea. In a nuclear exchange, most devices would detonate above the target surface level to maximize destruction through the shockwave. There is also the secondary impacts that would start

What would be the point of that? It seems to be by complex. You would not count every single generator separately at a hydro plant, would you? Every single solar panel?

What a rather ironic headline that generalizes across all "AI use", while the story is about a study that is specifically about "essay writing tasks". But that kind of slop is just par for the course for journalists and

Frankly, I’m not even sure of the “brotherly love” story was not always a political force or tool more than anything else. It’s a rather convenient story to manage people rather than people who idolize and get inspiration from self-respecti

I don’t disagree with that perspective and would even go further to say that its structure offers systemic advantages over the indigenous beliefs. That does not preclude being regretful that this meme from the Middle East along with all the

So Pegasus and others that aare not public are not a thing because it was dealt with in court? And no, there are things that are not shared with law enforcement for that very reason.

Yes, I am aware of it, but thought I would limit the topic. It’s amazing when you start building a mental model of just how pervasive and expansive this whole system and lost, destroyed culture gets. I do find most explanations for the vari

On a related note, since the Paleolithic rarely comes up on HN, something that seems to rarely come up in English language content; Menhir [1] (Long stone) or standing stones, which are spread all across Europe, some very elaborately decora

Then you don't use the 24 time? What are you even saying. America uses the 24 time too, but it's a large country with many different nations and cultures among it that all do various different things, but I don't get all pres

I had totally forgotten that I signed up for the Kiro waitlist. It seems Amazon has also totally sat out the interest in their AI offering. Has anyone had a chance to use Kiro at all? At this point I'm not even interested in it anymore
