Something doesn’t add up unless there’s over 30 ppl in average households. Is one number revolving debt and the other all debt? Including mortgages the 165k sounds reasonable

That headline is horrendous — but it’s also clickbait so obviously they went with it over better ones. Actual article point: “ doesn’t mean other gun laws don’t work — just that the research proving it doesn’t yet exist. Scientists I spoke

CNN is not the counterpart to fox. That comparison is apples and oranges. It’s almost like saying strawberry ice cream is the counterpart to chocolate and implying non chocolate eaters all eat strawberry. Yes cnn is a newsertainement org li

No, because every job has that contract clause. That argument doesn’t work when talking about universal standards.

So the audio book narrators have two bad options: A. refuse to let their voice be used to train ML I.e don’t work because I’m sure all contracts have or will soon have that clause, or B. Work for a few years training their robot replacement

dsl can get that fast…?! Why is even today the current best offering in many mountain communities in CA is 5/1 ? and why is 5/1 also the only AT&T offering in pockets of high tech Irvine CA?

Great! because two Germans put together a documentary the thousands that died are back alive? The former victims will be relieved by their new circumstances.

The comment I replied to called USA the butcher of Yugoslavia. Personally I’d call the groups committing literal genocide the butchers, not the groups taking action to stop it. To each their own opinion.

by mint2 4y ago
It’s telling that this post includes stopping a genocide as a bad thing, I.e. the UN stopping the Bosnian genocide in the fracturing Yugoslavia as a bad thing. Coincidentally, the Russian sphere is one of the groups mad about the UN involve

Randomly Firing thousands of round at a target about ten miles up at an angle making the trajectories of misses to be something like 30 mi arcs sounds like a great idea doesn’t it? Does a ground fired bullet even go that high? They’ll obvio

A/B testing must have shown mixing up the buttons sky rocketed their conversion rates… highly statistically significant improvements. MS is just doing data driven decision making, so really what choice did they have?

Interesting that everyone commenting on why Amazon is no longer their choice is pointing out that it’s scamazon now but no one mentions worker treatment so far. Amazon truly is a race to the bottom. Even if it were the cheapest, the dehuman

I don’t follow the last paragraph, first it acknowledges and claims the areas are beautiful landscapes and then it goes on to portray people who want to protect them as straw man extremists… there are a ton of people who want to protect tho

Okay but what share of the wealth do they control? “ The richest 1% of Britons hold more wealth than 70 per cent of Britons “ It would make sense if the 1% paid more than the combined bottom 70% Source: https://www.oxfam.org.uk&#

It is a very trying time for all the CEO’s parties. It’s challenging and stressful to have to keep them secret because of the bad PR that would arise from the optics.

Russia wasn’t the only source of gas available, it was just the cheapest. With minimal effort they could have sourced elsewhere, it’s just not an instantaneous pivot. Also closing nuclear plants was a bad choice.

While not ideal, peaker gas plants. Better than coal, worse than solar and wind. Necessary evil until adequate grid storage.

The reason for the regulation is the same reason that a lot of regulations are made: companies refuse to do something that’s one of good/common sense/not evil unless they’re absolutely forced to. The unwillingness of some to compl

Yesterday I saw a new remote Zillow position pop up, it did not include a salary range. It advertised that remote was okay in any of the 50 states. Is that legal or does that break Colorado and California law?

Most cattle doesn’t graze, and grazing being “good” for the land is contentious. Most cattle eats soy beans and stuff like that. Incidentally, crops grown for cattle are a big driver of Amazon rainforest destruction. This is all widely know

I honestly have zero clue what this comment means. why are people expected to be familiar with some bloke named crowley? Whatever does aeon if the child mean? Are these tv show references? My best guess is either these are tv show reference

Literally half the political commentary in the nation talks like all regs are bad, not just a matter of trade offs. Thanks for the negging, makes for intelligent comments just like posting one line regan slogans for “humor”

Actually thats not correct. even if they have environmental regs on paper countries like that don’t have them in practice due to lack of enforcement. What is the purpose of those comments?

I like how regulations got rid of lead paint, got rid of LA’s pea soup smog, stopped rivers from being so polluted they’d catch fire, and brought back the American eagle. Just a few examples. a reactionary “all regulation bad” view is too s

Treating the short term adjustment effects of a new rule as the same as the eventual steady state impact of the rule makes arguments against new rules seem deceptive and misleading
