It’s wild to blame Walmart for government subsidies when it’s the government not Walmart who decides who gets benefits. Is Walmart to blame they hired a single mother of 3 for $20/hr? Would this women be better off if Walmart never ex

I’ve been paying attention to the incident you speak of since it’s so interesting to see how an authoritarian system deals with it. I was quite amazed when the father of the teenager made a statement about “maintaining harmony”. It’s right

Thanks for sharing the details. Does the attorney check that the AI copied the data accurately? Or is it just assumed to be correct? Your experience mirrors my own. AI is great for parsing data that can take up a huge amount of time. My

I’m curious how this increased throughput happens. You’ve accurately stated that AI isn’t as rigorous as a trained attorney. Doesn’t that mean that every single datapoint must be confirmed by a human? How is that quicker than just using a

Vietnam has had a security apparatus all the way down to the neighborhood block level since the 1950’s. It was low tech and relied mostly on human surveillance but it did exist. It has collected biometric information for a while and now ha

Little known fact - Vietnam modernized their Public Security apparatus in the late 1950s with help from GDR’s Stasi. Vietnams surveillance system, population database and use of biometrics were all adopted from the GDR.

The error that people make when criticizing card fees on merchants is that customers pay the cost. That’s not necessarily true. There are benefits for merchants to accepting credit cards. More impulse buys, buying more per transaction. An

This is a solved problem. Let people defer increases until their house is sold. This what many states do. It’s seems insane that we “protect” people whose property taxes are going up because their home is getting so valuable

It’s hard to take comments like this serious with all the hyperbole. But regardless. Polls of your average citizen aren’t worth a whole lot considering most people get their information from social media.

It can be something as simple as an analytical reference. If you’re testing for dimethyl mercury in say fish, you need a standardized sample of dimethyl mercury to run. These references are highly dilute and thus less hazardous. But some la

Nope. There was another protest where the police asked the protestors status. They then called Immigration Canada to verify. You literally have the cops in Canada working hand in hand with federal immigration enforcement. No politicians c

They aren’t legal any more if their visa expires? I’m an immigrant to the US. I knew the risk that at any time the rules could change and I’ll be headed to my home country.

Don’t blame me when someone inserts themselves into a discussion they don’t understand and start throwing insults

Hilarious. My comment was replying to another comment that was discussing a different case, not the one in the article. Yet you throw around insults and labels at me. Who is the callous one here?

Welcome to how immigration works in other countries. Canada just changed a bunch of rules and is actively sending immigration officers to immigrant protests to run status checks and deport anyone in the country illegally. There is no right

Sure lawyers rely on semantics. But I said “silly semantics”. Claiming that destroying evidence of a crime proves no crime was committed is the logic of a 1 year old who thinks the world disappears when they close their eyes. A lawyer can g

> Where the money is not coming from are consumers. This is 100% wrong. Look at Anthropic's quarterly revenue from AI sales ($11B), OpenAI (6.7B) and XAI ($5B). That's $23B a quarter or $100B annualized. And it's still g

I think your handwaving away the impact isn't all that convincing and some don't make all that much sense. > American products are very expensive, and Canada is one of the few markets where they are viable. That's why DJT

You sure? Canada's economy is struggling as is. The healthcare system is holding on by a thread. You ready for unemployment to double? If there is a significant recession, tax reciepts go down and healthcare spending gets further c

Canada's tariff's will be meaningless. Canada's GDP is 32% exports. Of that, 75% goes to the US, or ~25% of Canada's GDP or $1 out of every $4. US exports to Canada are 11% and 16% go to Canada or around 1.7% of US GDP.

The US has the largest consumer market in the world. The next biggest is the EU which is only 50% the size of the US. If countries of the world decide to trade among themselves, their economies are going to be a lot smaller.

A good definition of it working is keeping the same system, and allowing the people elected by it to rule?

AI companies are destroying old books. This has nothing to do with the government.

You realize that it;'s not exactly democratic to change the rules just because you don't like who was elected democratically? That's the opposite of democracy.

> A wiped phone can't contain contraband There is no requirement that evidence is "contraband". As other comments have said, the courts aren't autistic. They don't fall for filly semantic games.

> Destroying evidence assumes he is guilty of a crime which there be evidence of. This is 100% untrue. You can be guilty of destroying evidence that includes no criminal activity whatsoever.

What hospitals makes has nothing to do with physician pay - those are separate categories. Hospitals aren’t going to magically start giving some of their profit to doctors to help cover their lower fees. OP makes a good point. The studies
