People have been noticing this a lot recently but what nobody seems to know is that this is a form of money laundering/“scamming.” I know because I used to be active on crime forums and talked to some of the people who engineered this

This is just patently false. How are you extrapolating a high ranking for healthcare quality from the survival rate of a single disease? The US spends exponentially money per capita yet has lower life expectancy, infant mortality, childbirt

What is your definition of “ranks quite highly?” The US ranks near or dead last among developed countries on access to care, outcomes, efficiency, equity, etc.

In addition, the 50s were a period of high wealth equality even though there were less social programs. After the Great Compression ended crime began to increase.

What the article does not consider is US police expenditure. In many major cities policing is ~30% of general fund expenditure. If US police expenditure was a country’s military budget, it would astonishingly rank 3rd worldwide. Hiring more

You cannot liken internet comment sections to individually selected letters to the editor. We have seen judicial precedent that social media functions more as a public forum than editorialized publications. It is an impossible burden for we

That is not what free speech means. Why should the publisher be liable for the posts of their commenters? If that were the case worldwide, we would essentially see the end of communication on the internet.

Calling 3AC responsible for the larger market decline in crypto is incredibly sensationalist. Total market cap had already declined 50% by the time 3AC became insolvent.

Why are you complaining about morons on Reddit who have no effect on real world politics when moderate Dems have had political control for most of recent history? Its funny that you’re not blaming “everyone from a more centrist/moderat

And all of this contributes to extremely low intellectual diversity at Ivy Leagues. I have the pleasure of frequently interacting with Harvard students and it is consistently true that they are always unremarkable individuals. These schools

You can use a decentralized exchange like Bisq but liquidity is horrible. Hopefully more people make the switch.

As a freshman in college, strategic use of alcohol was probably the best social decision I ever made. Safe, moderate drinking before socializing got rid of my anxiety and made me tons of diverse friends that I still keep to this day.

I don't think you can categorically place Musk into any political ideology. To be honest I see him like I saw myself as a teenager, whiffling in between different beliefs constantly.

Agreed. Modern cars with adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist are a breeze to drive if you maintain awareness of your surroundings and practice confident defensive driving.

We aren’t special. As a hedonistic utilitarian, I look forward to an AI someday replacing us and experiencing the universe in a greater capability than humans ever could.

AFAIK no, unless you know somebody at Meta. Their support is non-existent (literally). When my Instagram account was disabled, I was forced to contact an acquaintance of mine who was a former C-level at Facebook to get it back.

It is not reassuring whatsoever that one article 2 years ago says that we have just managed to avoid near human extinction. Sure there will still be people alive after 3.9 degrees of warming, but I for one wouldn’t like that very much.

Its definitely a cultural thing. The task would be extremely easy in any Indian city, but they probably don’t realize it would be near impossible in the West. Same with task 3, it would bankrupt Americans to pay for somebody else’s medical

I think you’ve gotten things a little confused. A governmental “high tech panopticon” already exists, and it’s used to target activists.

It genuinely feels as if we are now beginning to watch the end of the world as we know it. In the coming years massive swaths of the world population will live in areas consistently above wet-bulb temperature. I predict in the next 10 years
