Puritanism, a tale as old as time. What's fcking weird is the religious-tinge to this. It's like a less-worse version of pro-life people, they probably 'feel' good that they are 'helping', but as soon as the ba

I feel like it's just to difficult to pin down what area of ai will improve. For example what about an AI that is relatively powerful at brute force decryption(not sure if this violates some thermodynamic principle). Or even just an AI

As an illegal immigrant (3yo) navigating this immigration system my whole life, I salute you and your answers. My only option as a DACA recipient right now seems to be advanced-parole -> possibly employer sponsorship. Wish me luck yall

Medicine? It's racism and classism. People with racist views can become medical drs and other racists can become powerful heads of state to order genocide. What became Germany's eugenics program began in the United States and it w

Same in the US, an old teacher of mine said she put herself through college on a job waiting tables in the 70s. There's very small chance of that now

What are you talking about most companies just experienced record-making profits!!! Are we not getting raises?!?! /sarcasm I've see things getting worse for a lot of people for a while. I think we just like to pretend it's al

Based on this data I found, it is an insanely large gap. US ~7/10 people have computers, in some parts of africa ~1/1000 https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Media/Person...

I so heavily agree. 'above this misery line for now' is the key. I came from a poor background like OP. I have friends that can't afford homes, constantly getting laid off, and not many members of my family have any retiremen

I think the real problem is how bad most e-mail interfaces are (makes you want to use it less) or that there is not a dead simple way to do it other than a provider. It should be easy enough that I can download an app on my phone and be sen

You mean like china who has 10,000 high speed rails running every day producing the cheapest PV cells and lifted their population out of poverty? Let's just let Elon Musk get richer at the 3 trillion dollar mark he might let us have ON

I remember McDonalds workers striking and a post about how their CEO makes ~1300x their salary. I looked up our dual CEO salary and together they were making like ~2000x our salaries.

Workers have a right to bargain for fair working conditions, it doesn't really matter what we think tbh. But why would you say that you assume the pay is 'fair'? We got bought by Oracle and no-one saw a raise in years, even t

Just the fact that you think the credibility of the WashingtonPost is derived by Jeff Bezos' mood is proof enough that billionaires(modern Kings/feudal lords) owning media companies is ass backwards.

The US exists to funnel resources, military power, etc into the hands of the rich. Using coups, the CIA, and full out wars. The hyper-concentration of wealth that is felt in this country happens on a larger scale with the rest of the world

You can't shield kids from the effects of the economy and the world. Even given the best of luck and hard work ethic they could fall sick, into debt, and financially crippled. I think you have the relationship inversely related. The st

This is what every major crash in the US economy is. Poor people lose assets and rich people can coast long enough to buy them up cheap. Not a surprise that we are headed towards continuously record-breaking levels on income inequality

The wrong people getting the money is exactly what people are criticizing. I think you just disagree on the ways of preventing it. Chicago used 60% (300million) of relief funds on police personnel costs, it's not just the business aspe
