See, this is the most frustrating part of the American homeless crisis. Literally the cheapest solution is to just build free housing.

The cheapest solution is to just fix the problem, but instead we choose to do more expensive things that don’t do anything to address the issue, but may possibly make it temporarily someone else’s problem.

Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint (forward.com)

Conservative activists, led by a local pastor and outspoken Israel advocate, pushed the district, Mission CISD, to excise books mostly about gender, sexuality and race. Their demands represented an extreme version of a nationwide culture war over books that has played out in recent years — and ensnared a number of books with...

No, quite the contrary.

You’ve probably read that in the early days of the State there was a lot of resentment towards Holocaust survivors. They were counter to the national narrative of the “New Jew” who was strong, hard-working, and living off the land. Shoah survivors represented Jews as victims, who did not fight back against the Nazis, instead going like “lambs to the slaughter.”

This all changed after the Eichmann trial (1961), which is when most of the world first came to understand the true nature of how the Nazis operated. Many people did fight back, and many couldn’t.

Holocaust survivors are revered and honored in Israel, although the country suffers from poor social services with a lot of gaps. Shoah survivors often fall through those gaps, along with other elders.

It is weird. Lemmy is the second largest fedi platform, having long since passed Pixelfed. But it is rarely mentioned in articles like these. I’m not sure what makes it such the black sheep.

There are a lot of industries that have niche software needs. It’s hard for a competitor to break in because the market is only so big and it’s better to have something standard and time tested.

Interoperability is often limited to a one-time database migration, and often requires a specialist to do a lot of the transfer manually.

I don’t know if that’s the case with this software because it’s not my industry, but I’ve dealt with similar issues. You’d be surprised how much of the world still runs on AS/400

Well… Good for them. Am I supposed to be alarmed by this? Weren’t we saying a decade ago how China was the top contributor to pollution? Now they are doing something about it by investing in necessary tech?

If US and EU can’t compete due to subsidies, let’s increase our subsidies. C’mon, it’s not rocket surgery.

I don’t think they would be dwarf planets, but something else.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined in August 2006 that, in the Solar System, a planet is a celestial body that:

1 is in orbit around the Sun, 2 has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and 3 has “cleared the neighbourhood” around its orbit.

A dwarf planet must meet 1 & 2. Are Jupiter’s smaller moons round?

Jupiter has rings, so any planet would have to have cleared the rings around their orbit. I think that applies to the Galilean moons. Juno orbits outside the solar plane, so I’m not sure if that is a rule for a planet or not.

That’s prehistory. Everything we know about history comes from written accounts. Historians study written documents and argue whether or not the available evidence makes it more likely that something (or someone) was real or fiction.

Most historians agree that there was a Jewish man named Jesus (yehoshua), who preached in Judea and the Galilee in the early first century, who gained followers and was crucified by Rome. There are also historians who examine the same evidence and conclude it is more likely that no such person existed, because that’s how academia works.

I don’t know that the History Channel is a good representation of academic consensus. It should basically never be relied upon.

Why label it if it is trivial to avoid the label?

Doesn’t that mean that bad actors will have additional cover for misise of AI?
