Re:Türkiye will not sell rare earth elements to the USA
on Monday November 03, 2025 @10:46AM (#45800319)
as stated many times before, rare earth mining isn't a major issue, capacity to process into something useful which requires tons of water and toxic chemicals is the real issue for the US since China controls lion's share of the market.
Re:"No Tax on Tips" Includes Digital Creators, Too
on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @01:22PM (#45200871)
Generally correct, low income digital creators will benefit the most since "No Tax on Tips" will reduce their taxable income by 50% or more in comparison to someone who earns close to 150k which isn't a low income according to BLS as you pointed out.
Re:"No Tax on Tips" Includes Digital Creators, Too
on Wednesday September 10, 2025 @12:53PM (#45200479)
"No Tax on Tips" meant for low income taxpayers so most of the major digital creators won't qualify.
Low income digital creators can deduct upto 25k in tips, so if their income from tips and other sources is below $150k a year, their taxable income will be 25k less.

I think he is wrong, in a short run AI will create more jobs. We need more things to run AI and to make more things like power generation, connectivity, sensors, silicone, datacenters, monitoring, security, construction and so on. All of these things and more require massive workforce skilled or not skilled.

Throttle control module (TCM) was replaced twice in the past 2019 and 2023 which is not very usual.
Now pure speculation, both pilots have long record of flying, you have to literally pull up and move each fuel control switches to cut off. Either one of the pilots did this intentionally or control unit was faulty. Considering past history and pilot experience, my bet is on faulty controls but we will never know.

Re:American science to soon face its largest brain drain in history

Yes, just pointing out that this article implies that Nazi Germany was the reason many scientists moved to the US which isn't the case, many moved when the war was over and they lost.
Re:American science to soon face its largest brain drain in history
on Wednesday July 02, 2025 @09:59PM (#44450909)
All the scientists who came to the US in 1930s were mostly Jewish for obvious reasons. After victory in WW2, we had Operation Paperclip when we brought thousands of Nazi affiliated scientists to work for us, the whole premise that scientists fled Nazi Germany is very shaky. I just don't believe so many people don't know the history...

I find the whole discussion here that Trump is Hitler propagated by our government is quite amusing, yet again reaffirming 1960s, 1980s, 2000s were inconsequential. Asch paradigm still dominates our reasoning after so many years of grinding for liberal values.

This is done to curb the inflation caused by military spendings and low unemployment rate. Yes, this is net negative for projected economic growth but considering historic record of oligarchs in Russia who would invest in foreign economies instead of Russia during peace time, I would argue for Russia it is net positive development assuming massive western sanctions stay in place.

If you consider 1st and 2nd generation immigrants since most 2nd generation immigrants can speak their parent language and share some culture, these numbers usually get close to 30% in the US. People are not far off.

Most of the information can be found online, this is just complied into one PDF file.
