I can't believe any American would carried Putin's water after the treatment of Alexei Navalny.

Wikipedia mentions revenues for the game being $8.5 billion. It obviously didn't hurt too much!

Aren't those examples better handled by an if statement than a unaccountable computer? Someone that can be sued for negligence seems to be better at making decisions than hallucinating computers. I don't see why it follows that th

Can I ask what industries with what application? I've seen lots of task like summarizing articles or producing text. The image and video work seems too rudimentary to be taken seriously. Is there something out there that seems like a k

"probably the single most important development in human history" is the kind of hyperbole you'd only find here. Better than medicine, agriculture, electrification, or music? That point of view simply does not jive with what

His goal was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. When American democracy is at it’s weakest, he thought he could bully America into throwing out the results of the election. I’m glad he went to court, but the reason so few cases went

The article seems to disagree with your opinion.

As someone coming of age around the time of that movie, that was my first exposure to his work.

Right. I want to know if Google News is going the route of Google Reader.

People that use Google News probably want to know if Google is removing resources from the app.

I suspect rising interest rates and stable gas prices are what is causing lower inflation. The parent stated a link between more debt and more inflation and was hoping for an explanation that would explain the link.

Honest question. If inflation was caused by debt, why is inflation going down while the debt increases faster?

I don't think "loud political voices" have the right to make money off of YT. YT seems generous to keep Brand on the platform during this odd period between accusation and conviction.

Who are special interests in this scenario and how do they benefit by kids being out of school?

I don't see why my employer needs to cover 100% of my expenses for the benefit to be useful. They are paying me extra money to try to convince me to come into the office. Especially when they can just change their policy to force me to

AI will never replace in-person instruction. If I pay to learn something, it needs to be from an expert, not from a computer that needs guardrails to prevent it from becoming a Nazi.

I do have kids. The idea that school is just organized babysitting where you learn nothing is an absolutely ridiculous take.

Says the person that can form a sentence, likely thanks to instruction they received from a school.

The House and Senate already approved the spending. That is what passing a budget means. The debt limit is a chance for Republicans to force cuts, without having to take a stand on what programs need to be cut.

by ngetchell 3y ago
It will never be done during the budget process because Republicans would need to show their hand. They can't balance the budget without touching the third rail of politics. The debt ceiling let's them act tough without pissing of

Congress already spent/appropriated the money. This is closer to lowering your own credit limit AFTER maxing out the card.

Weren't the bitcoins generated from a crime? I'm not the biggest fan of civil forfeiture but this seems pretty a straightforward, lawful seizure.

This reminds me of the story around public pools in America. Instead of allowing the pools to be desegregated, lots of cities and towns simply closed the pools.
