None but religious institutions lay claim to a divine insight into morality, though.

What does the world think of India?

I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the...

Western countries employing Indian coders are generally looking for the cheapest coders they can find who speak passable English. All of that sounds like you got what you paid for.

This is a supply chain integrity thing. They’re not alleging that the titanium wasn’t actually titanium (which as you said, would be noticed immediately).

White Dad Apologized to the Black Superintendent He Pushed On Stage, But It Didn't Go As He Expected (www.theroot.com)

“The outreach was really to indicate that he, Matthew, understands his mishap in terms of what he did, what he’s caused. He’s remorseful,” Briggs continued. “I took that as some form of apology, but that’s not something I think at this time amounts to a solid apology, from my perspective....

I’m simply stating that not all school administrators are saints.

Literally no one is saying that . Simply by virtue of the fact that no group of any number of people will be all saints, whatever that means. So basically - cool story bro.

Apparently a lot of people’s investments are tied up in those properties so if they values tank they’ll lose everything. Normally I wouldn’t sympathize at all but Chinese people have very limited options to invest their money and grow their savings. They can’t just easily invest in the stock market. Property was one of the ways of doing this. If enough people lose enough money , the good old mandate of heaven gets its foundations rocked.

Basically, you’re saying that the rich should get richer at the cost of housing access for the poor. Not very socialist of you, eh?

Have you considered writing comments while not in a state of apoplectic rage? That way you might actually make a reasonable point instead of whatever this word-vomit is.

Allowing aggression to go unchecked is the opposite of opposing war - it literally encourages more.

Chinese military harassed Dutch warship enforcing UN sanctions on North Korea, Netherlands says (www.cnn.com)

A Dutch warship was harassed by Chinese military aircraft in the East China Sea on Friday, the Netherlands said, becoming the latest country to accuse Beijing’s forces of initiating potentially unsafe encounters in international waters....

At that point the fact that it started as a fish barely matters. These guys could just eat charcoal from a 20lb bag.

It could be argued that such delayed trade should be encouraged. Let Apple’s debt to Kaspersky build up, with interest, but it’ll only be paid once sanctions end which will only happen once pre-determined conditions are met. It’s basically an increasing incentive to change course in a way that will result in sanctions being lifted.

There are probably some pretty severe downsides to this approach though.

nova_ad_vitum ,

Write better.

“The reason”? Really? There are no other reasons? Lol. US post-secondary funding is a joke, but within the confines of the US approach if that rule wasn’t in place then no loans would ever be possible for college education since college students typically have few assets anyways and could just declare bankruptcy after graduation. A good reason why forcing young people to take on debt for post secondary education in the first place is stupid, but that rule is what makes the current system, flawed as it is, work to any degree.

Still doesn’t prove what you said but hey, you typed words so I guess that counts for something.

Size really does matter for sites like this. Reddit still hosts many smaller subs for niche topics that often have limited toxicity. Lemmy can’t match it yet unfortunately.

Not storing this shit unencrypted was pretty fucking obvious dude.

Features like this can almost never be privacy-friendly because they’re developed expressly to violate your privacy. The value it provides you , as cool as that could be, is just how it’s sold.

The reason he’s able to make this ask and not immediately be laughed out of the room is that Tesla’s value is massively inflated based largely on the personality cult surrounding Musk himself. If Tesla starts being valued as a car company rather than a speculative tech company with a “genius” leader at the help (quotes doing a lot of work there) , the stock price will be a fraction of what it is now.

That’s what shareholders stand to lose, and it’s why Musk has any leverage to make this ridiculous ask in the first place.

The Saudis assassinating an American billionaire with such a high profile is simply not a serious possibility.

Damn you guys borrowing consonants from polish names now?

Plus it’s harder to pass the buck and blame an AI for your screw ups. It would be perceived, as the kids say, as a skills issue.

I agree, and also the 1984 David Lynch Dune movie was the pinnacle of film making.

Has that ever happened lol?

The billionaires are at least being rational when they support Trump - they stand to materially benefit if he gets back in power. The poor folks who support him are just utterly moronic.

If the strongest defense of this bullshit that you can possibly muster is “people are allowed to have different opinions” then that’s actually a pretty damning condemnation of them, so thanks .

You seem angry.

Not sexy enough.

Everybody dies. Many painfully, deserved or not (though pancreatic is really bad). Trump needs to see the inside of a jail cell. Thats the only way back from what he has done. His death won’t solve anything.

If you don’t know much about investing then you shouldn’t short anything ever. People who know about investing will tell you that even when your logic is 100 percent sound, the market isn’t that predictable and in general the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Indeed, when you experience the public transportation system in the 1st World EU countries and Japan, the USA is decades behind them.

I think thinking of it this way only makes sense if commitment and desire to create good public transportation is somewhat comparable - which it’s not. In the US (and a lot of Canada) there simply isn’t any desire to properly invest in public transit. When public transit projects fail and a government is held accountable at the ballot box, the following government just slashes everything and washes their hands of it instead of trying to fix things. They’re not behind in time, they’re behind in commitment.

New Louisiana law will criminalize approaching police under certain circumstances (apnews.com)

Critics of a new Louisiana law, which makes it a crime to approach within 25 feet (7.6 meters) of a police officer under certain circumstances, fear that the measure could hinder the public’s ability to film officers — a tool that has increasingly been used to hold police accountable....

A bunch of people will get screwed while this winds its way through the courts though.

There is no “defeating Hamas” at this point. Even if they kill very single current Hamas fighter, the traumatized children whose world they have just destroyed will grow up in squalor and be full of hate . Their choice is to complete the genocide and wipe out Palestinians completely (the only true final solution), or to accept that they’ll be fighting the same war in 12-15 years.

This amount is too small to possibly measure

What the fuck did you say to me you little bitch? I’m going to go get $300 million in funding to create a device so complex and so sensitive that a butterfly sneezing 30 miles away will fuck it up and then I’m going to directly measure the the acceleration of the earth as a result of the mass of that bowling ball. You fucked up, kiddo.

In this particular story, if there’s any truth to it then it’s basically extortion. They could have just said that due to their usage profile they will need to switch to an enterprise license for the next billing period . Instead they tried to extort it within 24h lol.

And of course you have to buy a whole year of service (lol). This last thing is a symptom of a degenerate market with few competitors. No company that fears competition would try to pull that stunt.

You ended a comment with “period” and “end of story” so you must be right.

He’s the Ryan Lochte of whatever it is he does. Except I guess Lochte was good at something.

More likely though Bibi will shit all over Biden despite his unwavering support, which I would think would snap Biden out of this lunacy but I can’t imagine him changing his stance at this point

This is far more likely. Biden like many Democrats has been blindly pro-Isreal for literally 4-5 decades. He’s a sure thing and he will be treated as such. There’s no advantage to praising Biden and no disadvantage to shitting on him. Seems Israel has more of a right to American tax dollars than Americans do .

Well that’s less fun than detcord or mission impossible style self-immolating electronics.
