Kennedy is also surrounded my federally protected land. SpaceX? Noooope. Never trust Elon.

All the god damn pelican spam

One AI psychotic's "barely able to register" is another person's "increasing ambient temperature".

> Even the government deems it infeasible.

Because they are underfunded often.

"Mental math skills" literally did collapse tho??? "Math skills" to write proofs (which a calculator cannot do) is a fundamentally different skill set than that "math skills" of mechanically doing arithmetic (which a calculator does do).

Seems like critical reading skills have already collapsed.

When the DoJ is non-independent and the President is a literal crook and grifter, legality doesn't matter anymore to companies. They won't be prosecuted as long as they don't screw over the rich.

We have rule of law here? have you seen the non-independent DOJ today? The Supreme court's rubber stamp and bribed justices? Trump's blatant illegalities?

(Yes, Clarence Thomas has been bribed. That's what the RV and the trips are.)

You misread that first quote in your defense of Meta. The twirly mustached exec is Zuck himself who wants to target 11 year olds. By having a person object to him, he's no longer evil???

Sounds like a lot of successful businesses should be shut down then if Meta is the result of what "any" business does.

This is how my job in tech is right now. Execs asking us to build systems and agents and subagents so they can just input figma designs and their flawed requirements and get rid of all labor. How does a person not hate themselves doing this work that's effectively existential suicide? Every word into claude is another word of my career's death note.

"Doing crimes, but a robot didn't mean to and you don't know its intent" is understating the evil acts. Soon a robot can commit a murder but nothing will be done because of your line of reasoning.

> You don’t need to be able to memorize something for an exam to show mastery of a topic.

Yes, you do need to memorize and know things about the subject in order to be a master of it. What is the definition of "mastery" that you are using? What are the Things being memorized?

> The internet decapitated art criticism, elevating the YouTube commenter to the same level as the Pitchfork editor.

Part of that issue is people think "reviews" and "criticism" is one and the same. Ideally, a critic places the artwork in appropriate historical context and provides analysis. But most people just want Numbers or THumbs Ups.

LMAO. Management? Accountable? Golden parachutes say hi

How does a tiny error, in an aside and unrelated to the greater point, made at near the end discredit the rest of it?

We know how to solve food insecurity (in 1st world countries). We have plenty of food. Capitalism requires though throwing out food that can't be sold because billionaires find giving away things anathemic to their worldview. Get rid of billionaire sociopaths.

> I'll admit that I find this discussion a bit navel-gazy. It has become a question of semantics not a question of actual functionality

Ah, so you're more in the Investor mindset than the Scientist mindset. All you care about is results, not how it got there. There's a whiff of "hey, it's magic!" to that.

The corollary to 2 is: reduce all CEO pay across the board because of how disproportionate it is.

My company is remaking its career ladder to emphasize agentic coding just in time for this.

That CEO is sure sticking a lot of shelves themself to provide value

Communication about truth is also hard when against decades of industry, talk radio, right-wing media, and Republican propaganda lying about the climate. And humans, with very little scientific or critical thinking skills, felt comfort in the lie that "everything is ok!". Getting past a person's discomfort in order for them to accept truth is a high hill.

That graph of internal adoption rate is laughable. Their KPIs and work requirements probably heavily skewed the curve.

The same people who think "banned" and "censored" books must be completely banned and censored in all places to have earned that title instead of just at one point in the past.

You cut off the OP's sentence of that being examples for "Rail companies" and then added your own examples. Please be better at comprehesion and editing comments

"In practice Amazon will deliver packages across the US." You know they use the Postal Service for last miles often? And the Postal Service is required by law to service far-flung places. So Amazon is only, in practice, delivering packages to those places due to USPS.

"Whether something is good or not entirely depends on the frame of reference and the context" is exactly what the article was saying....

Yes, the article discusses how 98% is good in context and bad in others. You just... restated the article but reversed the premise, resulting in an overly optimistic yet anti-social framing.

Sure lets act like Republicans aren't overwhelmingly corrupt at the head

Some states are trying to fight against Kalshi. One of the problems is the President's family has a financial interest in these markets and so the Republican party does their best to say "hey, these are clearly "swaps" and not bets!!!1!"

Or we could also ban sports betting apps and Kalshi and Polymarket.

Where does raising wages have to deal with this?
