I guess it depends on how you define unemployment.

Over half of of employed people nowadays don't make enough to pay their fundamental bills and/or live paycheck to paycheck and have to take up huge debt to make it every month.

so while they technically have a "job"...is it really if it doesnt cover their bills?

classifying something as a job is extremely bullshitable.

It was the most severe recession since the Great depression lol good times /s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession

Good time to buy defense contractor stock because one way to get out of serious depressions/recession is a war.

And the presidential election is next year...

Id like to see a median comparison or some other stats.

The entire song is pretty good.

The entire United States was designed for cars, commuting, freight, and trucking.

I hate it as much as you but thats the reality.

I kind of think cars should be the paramount concern.

Its a road after all

Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground But you'll stick your head back out and shout "We'll have another round"

In prison?

How would word get out? Just dont tell anyone.

Also on a software devs salary you could bribe so many guards and inmates you would be king of that place.

I think you shouldn't be in jail in the first place!

Drugs being illegal is batshit insane and literally keeps the cartels in business which destabilizes entire countries and kills way more people than having legal drugs.

Anyway thats a whole different conversation.

That being said theres this weird liberal trend to feel sympathy for murderers. And in my book if a person is a murderer or rapist or something, they need to be in a dungeon not a comfy prison with internet.

But for the bullshit you got in for Im glad you were able to find a good spot and make the best of the situation.

Hope you can get some sort if early release situation.

Apparently not in Maine prison.

Cant wait to get my hands on this BBC!

Basic was the first language I learned so its nice to see it repackaged.

256 Megs is alot!

Modern BBC is alot bigger than what we used to have available to us in the 90s.

Just hang around all day with no rent learning and coding. Maine prison sounds pretty sweet.

Actually sounds a little like those hackers that live in pod spaces in SF.

Imagine working as a remote software dev in prison making more money than the warden.

So there are limitations which are left out of this article which seems to promote fear based journalism.

Because they leave out important info it makes it hard to judge appropriate alarm level which makes it clickbait and I will ignore it.

So according to my original comment observation, there are limitations on this tick growth which the article leaves out in favor of fear based journalism.

Because they leave out important info it makes it hard to judge appropriate response which makes it clear clickbait to be ignored.

My understanding of exponential growth is that if a tick produces a thousand offspring every year over 7 years you would have around 1e+21 ticks.

The milky way is only 1e+18km wide.

This would suggest at present our solar system should be a massive sphere of infinitely expanding ticks dwarfing out all light, life and matter and further expanding into the cosmos and in another few years of tick exponential growth will overwhelm the milky way with tick mass, and then eventually not long after the entire universe will just become a large sphere of infinitely expanding ticks.

And apprently ticks can reproduce more than 1000 offspring and also can live more than one year so this is a conservative estimate.

Unless the big bang was tick based....something's not adding up here.

Or possibly you and the journalist dont fully appreciate how big exponential growth really is.

This article makes it sound like the entire country is about to be infested by these ticks and they will kill all of the livestock and give everyone tickborn diseases.

However these tics have been around since 2017 so I'm assuming there's some limitation that isn't mentioned in the article that has stopped them from taking over.

it is more advanced in the simple sense that you get much more varied information, perspectives and viewpoints.

i.e. its more difficult to advance a specific narrative or agenda by the private equity owners on millions of people versus a handful of reporters who have to obey their editors

> Most people are more interested in accuracy, context, analysis, and trustworthiness.

Lol imagine thinking you get this from big monopoly news media almost all of which are owned by private equity media conglomerates.

You're saying if one car company fails people will use another car company instead of going back to the horse and carriage

I'd agree with you on that

like the automobile was a different product category than the horse-drawn carriage?

It's not really lying. everyone views a subject differently.

so in order to get closer to the actual truth what you want is a massive variety of perspectives and opinions so one can actually synthesize this to get closer to the truth or at least a well-educated perspective on the subject.

which is what modern media gives to you.

versus the old guard who present things in a very specific way.

journalism is information.

whoever gets you that information faster wins

even the old news outlets try to out-compete each other for speed to press.

I personally think smart people are able to filter through a lot of information and synthesize the relevant.

it's also arguable that you get closer to the truth with the diversity of opinions about a subject on modern media and once again this is better for smart people to make up thier minds about something.

This is not remotely true.

Modern media like Twitter and Reddit and HN and (dare I say) 4chan is where news breaks first.

By the time I see it on the NYT Ive already read about it on numerous other platforms and usually with better information because its written by people firsthand on the scene or people directly in the know.

Information moves at lightspeed.

Literally dont read the NYT or WaPo anymore. I like that they exist for the abstract idea that quality journalism exists but practically never use them.

So yes Twitter is absolutely a competitor, due to its immediacy and its massive userbase.

> First, the for-profit subsidiary is fully controlled by the OpenAI Nonprofit. We enacted this by having the Nonprofit wholly own and control a manager entity (OpenAI GP LLC) that has the power to control and govern the for-profit subsidiary.

Im not criticizing. Big fan of avoiding being taxed to fund wars....but its just funny to me it seems like theyre sort of having their cake and eating it too with this kind of structure.

Good for them.

I see you made a burner account specifically for this singular comment.

However, the comment is extremely benign.

The only reason for someone to make a burner account for a benign comment is if its a person defending themselves because no one else will.

Most people are not that good at git from my experience to be able to do this.

You must work at a big tech company. Thats utter insanity.
