I’m not sure but I think some of these drugs can make permanent damage.

Obviously survival remains the topmost concern, but thinking about side effects sounds like the logical next step now that we’ve made tremendous progress with survival.

No 😁

It’s just a funny video from LinkedIn or TikTok

Thank you!!!

Well, this should give them some motivation.

Here’s my take on it:

1. Get rid of all extremists and violent factions internally (extremely hard, of course).
2. Engage in intense diplomatic lobbying, and be patient. If step 1) has been achieved, I think it would be extremely hard for Israel to resist the pressure, but maybe I’m too naive. Right now, it’s extremely easy to dismiss the Palestinian cause because of terrorism. What happened at the beginning of the conflict isn’t going to help.

It seems like a lot of people think Palestine needs to do stuff but Israel doesn’t. I’m not sure if it’s a double standard, racism, Israeli exceptionalism or what.

In my case, it’s none of that. It’s your question: “how can Palestine gain its freedom”.

Now let’s be crazy for a moment and imagine that both sides collaborate to fix the issue. I think it would be mostly the same for Israel: get rid of the lunatics, realize that Palestinians are fairly close relatives, work on forgiveness on both sides, and work on a fair two-state solution or even better a single-state solution.

Are you really sure? 😂

WHAT? Where is the next one planned to take place?

How about using your Polish nickname (surely you have one?)? This would likely be easier to spell for the average Spaniard, while staying closer to your identity than going full “Gregorio González”.

joelthelion , 6 months ago

I meant using your polish nickname as your official Spanish name.

And yet they are part of the obvious low hanging fruit for reducing emissions

joelthelion , 6 months ago

They are obvious because they are rarely irreplaceable. We can live without mass tourism and fast deliveries.

joelthelion , 6 months ago

Not really. People in developed countries need to divide their emissions by approximately ten times. Every little bit helps. And we should start with the easy ones.

I don’t understand why they keep targeting art. Wouldn’t smashing car windows (for example!) make more sense?

Never seen that banner or an ad. I guess it’s just a matter of time though 😕

Elegant!

joelthelion OP , 7 months ago

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try.

Another example of a multi-billion dollar company that doesn’t curate their products/services. Costs too much money they would only profit 234 billion instead of 244 billion.

In the long term it’s a terrible strategy. People will lose confidence and stop shopping there. I’ve almost stopped and I know I’m not the only one.

Not that most executives care about long term…

What makes the problem hard is that there are a lot of dickheads on both sides, not just the governments. You can be an oppressed victim AND a dick. These things are not mutually exclusive, unfortunately.

So this is the “moderate republican”. Good to know…

Getting rid of these fees means they will be displayed in the overall cost, which might in turn reduce the number of people flying.

30€ flights (that you end up paying more due to these hidden costs) are definitely part of the problem.

Per fuel/mile/cargo, aircraft are actually very efficient

Just wait until you find out about MRI :)

Still much more complex than PET conceptually, and much more versatile.

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

Yep, that’s pretty vague

You’re reading al Jazeera. There’s a good chance that there is a second side to this story.

I’m talking specifically about this “kimono” story. Being french, I also know what’s going on there.

I don’t buy on Amazon anymore. Not only to they treat their employees like crap, but also it’s harder and harder to find quality stuff on their platform. Fake reviews are a huge problem.

It sucks even if you don’t get particularly sick.

Which one is supposed to be liberal?

we found that tropical forests can withstand up to a 3.9 ± 0.5 °C increase in air temperatures before a potential tipping point in metabolic function

Not that close, fortunately. There are tons of other terrible disasters that will strike before we reach this point.

I wonder if the older sister could have served as a surrogate mother instead? It’s not the same of course, but it could be a lighter weight alternative to this heavy surgery…

I’m willing to bet a team of untrained, uneducated, software/data engineers receiving big salaries are responsible for this.

I’d be willing to bet that they’ve outsourced to India instead.

I don’t understand why they don’t use a second model to detect falsehoods instead of trying to fix it in the original LLM?

This is big news. It will have repercussions on the way big pension funds invest their money, which in turn will affect interest rates, share prices, etc. In the long run, this is definitely going to have real-world repercussions, even if it’s hard to see exactly what right now.

I wonder what the impact on piracy will be? It’s probably harder to rip streaming services than it is to rip blu-rays…
