Right people are woefully ignorant of the repercussions of isolationism. CCP investments in these countries is winning them over.

CCP is winning over these countries because of their investment in them. The more we isolate the stronger CCP grip is.

He says "In doing so, we should not demonize Trump voters" because we will need them to fight Trump's ideologies.

I've tried that, not demonizing trump voters. They won't be on your side because you were kind to them. They will demonize you and join the side that they consider the strongest position.

Does it ever worry you or make you feel powerless? What can I do, I'm a middle age man with health problems that make things very difficult. I have kids and a family and friends with their own problems. I'm strapped for time and resources. What can I do? I worry for my kids future and the future of the world.

Re:The Fantasy of Opting Out on Thursday February 18, 2021 @12:43PM (#26182973)
Anecdotally, I purchased a heated blanket from Amazon for my father and had it shipped to his address. When I went to look at order details, Amazon advertised to me other things the person I shipped this item to may like. Men Diapers, Pet treats etc... I don't own a pet due to allergies and I am very young to be searching for adult diapers. I found it very rude and unprofessional of Amazon to share such a personal suggestion with me.

I called Amazons customer service to complain about their suggestions. The representative said that their suggestions are based on my searches and purchases. I believe the suggestions are also based on the purchases made for that address.

My father doesn't even get an option to opt out of Amazon suggesting things he's purchased, to other people to purchase for him. There isn't an option for privacy.

Facebook announced that they are using ML to fix compilation errors just yesterday. They said they were contracting out companies to build ASICS for the AI. We are a long way from AI making good medical decisions.

You make an excellent point. How do they rule out other leading causes of the loss of intelligence?

There have been studies that show high amounts of road traffic cause increased secretions of a certain enzyme into the frontal cortex, causing high levels of stress and increased memory loss.

ASK HN: How would you do project planning for a YCombinator news clone?

I have started project planning a clone of ycombinator and I am running into a problem. This is my first large web app. The other web apps I have built we're toy projects to learn API's and frameworks.I am going with a MVC design pattern. For this project I've set down for the first time and written out all of the features of the website. Then I began to document each models structure. I've...
