Zoning, maintenance and education to name some. Around me (dry, forested part of Spain) there are almost no fires, and I think part of that is because everyone here is taught how to handle something that could ignite it during those crucial months, usually when it happens it’s because people from outside the area have no real idea of the consequences BBQ’ing during this time of year

In current nature this can be blamed on incorrect maintenance or zoning and even education, not just the one who brings the spark.

Something being illegal doesn’t mean the blame for the fires to catch and spread so quickly has to go to the one who happened to be careless

Blaming individuals when all the elements for a fire are already common place seems like we’re trying to blame someone when there is actually a systemic issue

I mean it is that simple then, if you are from a different country and not wealthy you have no chance.

From the point of view of the auto industry I would say popular is the right word.

Pft, 100% this was developed by a three letter agency in the US.

Agriculture which is used to feed the animals. Look at soy in the Amazon, most is used in the meat industry

I think you fail to realize how the profitability of this industry subsidizes a lot of issues that look to be crisises on their own. Plastics being too cheap to make so we don’t really do recycling or reducing to name one.

I don’t understand how this relates to not paying people a living wage for full time work?

“Very Large Telescope”, I love this name. Any better ones out there?

You need to pay for art

Or, in the eyes of the government, we all are

He could have removed himself, he’s not a random user but the CEO. I feel like that kinda removes the argument of ‘someone could have added him without his consent’.

I disagree that using a few watt for comfort is a waste of computing power

What if you miss your goal? I mean if you wouldn’t lose your job just take 6-8 weeks to compensate for the loss of bonus

I often wondered what could be the reason that triggers the “dead internet” theory. And muddying the information we can share freely means we cannot share freely anymore.

Kudos to Stability for focussing on open source when ”Open“ai is trying to dig a moat around their castle.

The list of plugins doesnt seem to be loading for me

Not unlike a “two” party system

I think the historical context is there, but even then it's not that relevant. Achievements obtained in the past are not indicative of the future, and if you take the current social climate into context we have a right to be afraid.

I feel like it's an apt analogy if you're not from the US.

Looking at the comments it seems like most are just out of touch with gen z (or whatever gen) as big milk is. Cow milk is for baby cows.

That’s bull, the poorest will have to fight for water

But to whose pockets will that productivity go? I think the gap between the haves and have-nots will widen and just increase society's problems

Does research you disagree with always cause money to be burned instead of spent?

Do you think that's because Manhattan is such a great place to live or because people globally would love a life that's not a life of poverty?

How about we start actively taxing private companies that feel the need to make a quick buck over people backs? Especially without contributing any real value to society, and with society I don't mean the economy.

This is not one of those problems that goes away by pointing a finger.

I bet if we had cow psychologists they might diagnose them with shock, living near pig farms my experience is a lot different. The stress of transportation, the smell of dead animals, these are so unnatural and without any possible escape what would you do?
