Welfare is a method of fighting corruption though. Corruption means taking money from the public. Welfare is giving money to the public.

It’s a feedback system. The only problem is that governments tend to ignore the welfare/education/prosperity part and focus entirely on austerity laws.

I don’t think these two telescopes are interchangeable. Pretty sure the Webb telescope was designed for seeing specific light spectrums.

What I was pointing out was that you can actually see the fact that the hard drives are designed to be replaced as a positive rather than a negative. It means that the data can be moved from drive to drive without much hassle.

Preserving analog data also requires maintenance, except digital maintenance is much easier to do and can be, at least partially, automated, while analog maintenance is specialty work that can’t be automated at all.

I don’t understand why people say this. Digital formats can be easily ported over to other digital formats and the more we can automate, the easier it’ll be to port digital information from one format to another. I don’t think we’ll lose ve

The right seems to be able to do it constantly. The right takes control and the white working class goes “oh the economy is so good” while they privatize the services that the working class rely on and then strip them of all their assets .

This literally always happens during a Democrat presidency: the numbers are good but everyone goes “well it doesn’t FEEL that way so I’m gonna ignore it.” At what point are you gonna admit that your feelings are a crap metric? The fact of t

I’ve seen very blue traffic lights in Japan both in Kyoto and Tokyo. I think the weirdest part of this story that isn’t talked about in the article is that Japan doesn’t seem to have any regulation or consistency defining which shade of blu

My memory form my time living in Japan is that they do not have a consistent shade of blue/green that their traffic lights conform to. You will see completely different colors depending on the location, and even see different colors wi

There’s an indie dev making an immersive sim inspired by Die Hard rn. It’s been in development for years. It’s called Skin Deep.

I mean considering the modern conservative agenda is to literally commit crimes, I don’t really have much sympathy.

Maybe but one single disaster due to failure to comply with regulations would more than wipe out that increase in revenue. We see this time and time again. The recent train derailment in Ohio is a great example of this.

What they’re saying is that it’s your opinion that that would be an improved experience, and that’s not an objective opinion that other people share.

Because people like the propaganda of the suburbs more than they like looking at hard numbers. The entire American dream is based on the notion of suburban car-centric infrastructure: each family a single unit home with a lawn and a car. We

I think you’re confused here. The $50 group (Group C) is the control group. That sum was chosen because it was assumed it wouldn’t actually meaningfully change their lives, and therefore we can use their response as a baseline for how to ju

I think you gotta buy a more professional camera app to fix stuff like that, and even that doesn’t work for some things. I’m always pissed about bad the iPhone is at taking photos of rainy days.

I don’t see anything in your comment that makes me think congestion toll is a bad idea. NYC infrastructure can’t maintain increased traffic and we shouldn’t build out to accommodate it. If you need to get into manhattan, just use public tra

I don't think the 1% that pay their share are very relevant. The only example I know of a suburb that pays its fair share is the beach front suburb near Charleston, SC and that's very wealthy area that we couldn't expect to r

We have all these problems right now and the US has the lowest tax rates in history. Stop falling for lies and start looking at numbers. Edit: FYI socialism doesn’t mean the government controls or owns anything. It means that the workers ow

This is an objectively true statement. Suburbs do not pay for their own maintenance and cities have to carry their economic weight: https://youtu.be/7Nw6qyyrTeI?si=zYfcwVLx0DYoexnM

as if cars are the primary form of transit in NYC. The congestion tolls will make us more reliant on public transit, but that’s exactly the point. We don’t want to build car-centric infrastructure.

We could build something quieter but I don’t think it would be compatible with the rest of the subway system

Ngl having a shared global decentralized database that’s you can develop on sounds pretty nice to me. Definitely wouldn’t call that a scam. Maybe it’s overvalued though… As someone who’s dabbled in the art world, I think people underestima

Yea IMO it’s more useful to think of AI from a purely tech pov like this. The important thing is that brains resemble tech not that tech resembles a brain.

McCabe and Mrs Miller is a great movie about creating a prostitution business in the Wild West. There Will Be Blood also (for obvious reasons)

Also gotta recommend Burden of Dreams, the making of Fitzcarraldo, which is arguably an even crazier story
