Is it over because making real arguments backed by facts are hard?
The "food" thing is just more NGO fake bullshit. The articles covering for USAID are just fake as fuck. There is more than enough food sent to various countries by Christian organizations than USAID had ever sent. All the USAID money was grift and stolen tax money. Half of which went back to blue campaigns. Stop watching MS-13 NOW.
You must be one of those people asking to free Karmelo?
Some things are just simple. ISIS is a terrorist organization you're carrying water for. Most of the mission of ISIS is simply spread Islam and kill infidels. Islam had that charter prior to the creation of America by the way.
. Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.
So if our enemies had no qualms at all about doing this, wouldn't it make sense that we have weapons that can at least counter, and potentially fight back? Would it be facilitating injury if the AI is used to stop an ISIS linked attack in our homeland?
> "Don't be evil"
Can evil also be interpreted as letting your government be impotent in protecting you?
For some reason I actually thought it was designed specifically to write Haikus!
This shit's happening with every topic now. I really wish we'd just start cutting out massive blocks of internet and phones so our old people are not scammed, so our young are not radicalized and our leaders convinced something crazy is happening any more.
I did analysis on this with Codex by pulling the vote data for Raman, Pratt, Bass. It definitely said that the vote changes were concerning, but possibly explainable if we new if the batches were significant different areas rather than just more votes in the same general areas.
What happened was there were a lot of boomers that taught my generation in the bay area. So when I was in high school around 94-98 the teachers were typically 40-50ish year old boomer generation. These people were pretty good at teaching. Mostly white. As generation X started getting into the game, and bureaucratic processes the introduced "core" and "new math". Both pretty bad. I was in the middle of the transition so I did get pre-new-math as well.
What happened next? Well pretty much all of us got jobs at Google, Apple and other places. The only way for any of us to have stayed in teaching would have been major compromises. We decimated the teaching industry because it didn't realize the salaries these companies were waiting to pay us. They had no chance.
> given my orthopedist told me to stay away from anything that’s heavy on the knees, “like tennis, skiing, or, say, snowboarding,”
Obviously not knowing the background of this person, maybe they really have bad knees, but without more info, they could simply have an orthopedist that says this to all his clients, to help all of them not have problems in the future - no matter the current state.
I have decided long ago to not let anyone, especially experts, dictate what I can and can't do.
As per usual, no one can defend communism.
The opposite of capitalism is some form of socialism or communism. We know that it CAN'T work (at least in America) because all of the extra money to help people is stolen. So Capitalism is better than any other form of getting money in people's pockets. More money in pockets means more chances for babies.
The reality is we need to fix all the jobs being sent to people from other countries. The stat just came out that in the last 5 years 90% of the jobs went to foreign born people. We also need to reverse the climate doomerism that's pushing people to lose faith in life in general.
Can you ask both your questions at once instead? Also please argue in good faith, the 3rd or 4th most hit topic in the last 5 months has been the amount of Fraud we've been enveloped in. To ask your original question like that reeks of disingenuity.
The 100B+ of hospice/daycare/and multiple other medicare related fraud schemes that is happening every year. Perpetrated by the people that keep saying things like "communism was never implemented right" or "make the rich pay their fair share".
But the reality is, if all the excess tax money that is collected does not go to where the problems are, and is just being boarded onto a plane in a bag with 2M dollars headed to Mogadishu - then you can't blame capitalism for the mess we're in.
Yeah, sorry. This narrative is over now that the fraud has been exposed.
Isn't that exactly what they said when Cambridge Analytics data gathering happened?
Sounds like the system works like all other hacked systems on this planet. We need to fix our broken systems.
Well it's true, I've had so many girlfriends that have literally told me they are not sure about bringing more people into this world because there are already too many it's ruining the planet. Institutional brainwashing.
We have entered an era where everything we used to take for granted is under attack. We need to figure out ways to harden our society's services so that they are protected from these attacks. Everything that is vulnerable will be taken advantage of. It used to be that no one would try to scam medicaid because 2 things: a) social contract b) consequences.
It seems like post-pandemic many consequences just disappeared. It might be a) lack of oversight, b) oversight is present but higher ups say skip, c) something insidious is actually taking over.
I don't want America to just be ripped to shreds over greed and everyone getting theirs before the it's all gone. But I don't know how to solve everything if people are seemingly corrupted at the top.

Lol, always a carveout for the commies.
In the united states the birthrate problem is largely climate change panic (which is not a reason to not have kids because other populations / immigrants start accelerating their birth rates), and then because of heavy migration and other market factors, home prices have skyrocketed. Many couples don't want to have kids until they at least buy their "starter house".
I'm not very familiar with Japan's problems, but I think it's different. I think it has more to do with some kind of never growing up adults.
Something is sketchy with that. Even if SAT/GRE/ACT scores are sent to school, why in the hell would those include your ssn
Ugh, yeah, I'm a critic of this. The image in the article is probably a bit of rage bait, but still, the current system of having very specifically designed OHV areas is better than, "go anywhere you want on motorized vehicles."
This is like ANY company. What company will last forever. Not many.
A reckoning is coming for school. Learning the rote stuff is no longer essential. Now they need to learn, how to teach "how to think". How to invent, how to be creative. Art++, Woodshop++, Math--
No reason to black pill. Tons of opportunities - be creative.
American corporate thinking is mostly about acquisitions to innovate. So this is more or less _not_ American corporate thinking.
Not worth engaging with people with RDS (rich derangement syndrome)
Their answer will always be communism (as long as they end up as one of the elites). About 8 years ago HN was very pro capitalist, but everyone is tik-tok brained now. It is a lot harder to find people with nuance.
They may need to expand their marketing past red bull. Perhaps gardeners, home builders and landscapers. Maybe come up with a marketing package where you can buy a gopro and get a youtube video boost via a YouTube GoPro + Creator video drop (one per purchase).
I think the craziest thing is that a macbook for $599 that's more powerful than nearly anything they had offered a decade ago (except probably ram amount), and even after adjusting for inflation (which is like 35% from 10 years ago) means the price dropped at least $1500 for a comparable. (People may correct me if I'm wrong)
