This is a statement of fact but the context is missing quite a lot. The IDF is a uniformed military force and Hamas is an ununiformed organization intentionally hiding among soft targets. Hamas also has children among it's soldiers. Ha

There are a lot of individuals who have the ability to provide those resources. Even if that's a bad example, there are innumerable examples where individuals do choose not to help others in the same way that corporations don't. F

I want to chime in not necessarily to disagree but there is a lot of unknowns in how effective advertising really is and in a lot of cases, if it is at all. Additionally, the curtailment of cigarette advertising wasn't because it was u

> The color of the hat doesn't matter as much as what they believe in. I agree but the argument I'm making is that the "what they believe in" part is usually, "I should be re-elected". There are very few ele

"Round" does not mean spherical and both of these claims are falsifiable and mutually exclusive. The AI situation doesn't not have two mutually exclusive claims, it has two claims on the opposite sides of economic and cultura

It isn't. "AI is a bubble" and "AI is going to replace all human jobs" is, essentially, the two extremes I'm seeing. AI replacing some jobs (even if partially) and the bubble-ness of the boom are both things th

Not really. The idea that reality lies _in_ the middle is fairly coherent. It's not, on it's face, absolutely true but there are and infinite number of options between two outcomes so the odds are overwhelmingly in the favor that

If the government is on my side, why don't they attempt to solve this problem instead of actively causing it? It's unsurprising that companies want to make money, it is, however, shocking how corrupt the CA government is when it c

Frankly, I don't think this is a party thing. Our elected officials are mostly party line. There are a few who have actual ideals that they adhere to but the rest of them are weather vanes. You basically have to be a party loyalist to

What do you think farmers were doing before GM crops?

by parineum 1y ago
That's a story of a farmer in debt because he had two consecutive years of crop failure. I'd be less apt to blame the expected cost of seeds than the unexpected crop failures for his misfortune.

Imagine if Monsanto just murdered every farmer that didn't use their seeds. Both are equally legal.

It's not about paying too much, it's about the actual experience. While streaming has gotten (and continues to) progressively worse, pirating just gets better.

I think the turing test suffers a bit from the "when a measurement becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measurement." An AI that happened to be able to pass the turing test would be pretty notable because it probably implies m

I think the key factor is amount of rides. On a one to one comparison, obviously an ebike is less work but how much more often are ebike riders riding? I don't own one but there have been plenty of times in my life where I go somewhere
