Here is the list of everything parents get in Germany that is not guaranteed in the US.

Phase 1: Pre-Birth (Safety & Rest)

        The "Work Ban": If your job is physical or hazardous, you stop working immediately (Day 1 of pregnancy) at 100% pay.

        Mandatory Rest: You must stop working 6 weeks before your due date at 100% pay.

        Job Security: It is illegal to fire you from the moment you announce your pregnancy.

        Paid Doc Visits: Employers must let you go to prenatal appointments during work hours without docking your pay or vacation time.

Phase 2: The Birth (Zero Cost)

        The Bill: $0. Hospital stays, epidurals, and emergency C-sections are fully covered.

        The Support: A state-paid midwife (Hebamme) visits your home daily for weeks to help with healing and breastfeeding.

Phase 3: Post-Birth (Cash & Time)

        Monthly Cash (Kindergeld): The state pays you €259 per month, per child until they are 18+ years old.

        Paid Leave (Elterngeld): The state pays you 65% of your salary (up to €1,800/mo) for 12–14 months to stay home.

        Free Daycare: Legally guaranteed from age 1; in many regions (like Berlin), it is completely free.

        Sick Child Days: 15 paid days per year per parent to stay home with a sick kid (separate from your own sick leave).

        Extended Leave: Your job must be held for you for up to 3 years if you choose to take that much time off.

Does that mean we'll finally will see 'car-salesmen' who actually have read the flyer and not spew nonsense they pull out of their ass?

Since they walk with their phone in one hand and their bag in the other.

It's not difficult - Iran must be balkanized if Israel is going to conquer the Middle East and expand its proper borders to "those promised by God". They will demand a regional empire beyond their borders as a "buffer zone".

The Eschatological Christian Zionists want them tp destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple so Jesus can come back. Much of the Senior Brass at DoD (or Department of War Crimes) believes in this.

Is it all absurd and crazy? Doesn't matter, it's what motivates the people with nukes.

That and Trump being blackmailed with Epstein Tapes. The news says it's specifically an audio tape of a phone call between those two.

This is what the people who want peace in the world are up against. We can't counter what we deny.

> when your investigative toolkit is journalism

Exactly. The English Majors went where other investigators have previously gone and ruled out.

The stack of blockchain, Merkle Trees, halvings, etc. show a level of insight a quantum above Hashcash.

There's noting wrong with being "quite good" but "engineering genius" is something different.

Besides, Satoshi would never have stood for not funding mining with txn fees. The BTC chain is in danger of being unmineable very soon.

I bought some paper books from Amazon in 1998 and they still work like the day I bough them.

Excellent support after 28 years.

Why not give each soldier a password that they mumble to be found?

When you have a product made from leftover rejected parts the supply is guaranteed to be limited.

So you hype it as "for a limited time" and people go hog wild with FOMO.

coming soon: "The Neo is Back."

Yeah, "LLM's are gods" and "statistical ML networks are good at finding defective code patterns" are extremely different claims.

The people who are True Believers on both extremes look pretty silly.

I appreciate really good closed captioning while having no use for chatbots. Both ends get to call me a heretic!

Just watch the patches and CVE's trickling out.

It's not like OpenBSD is going to sit on a vulnerability for 90 days or whatever.

Issuing a patch doesn't give away the details about how it was found.

To be fair I just wasted a week tracking down a radio telemetry problem because of a forum post that many people said worked great but it definitely pulled a pin high that was supposed to be low, which shut off an antenna.

Only diving into the spec sheet and some sample embedded code convinced me that the forum post was exactly wrong and after making a simple change to do the opposite did all the telemetry devices mesh up and start reporting correctly.

So ... how does 90% compare to human content?

A wrinkle is that everybody knows humans are flawed and too many people treaty the LLM as omniscient.

Why should anybody care if this drives electric bills up to $1000/mo for the typical household?

We have unlimited energy, no?

Dipshits aren't creating a global energy crisis right now.

The world economy isn't headed for a global depression.

Natgas should be burned for LLM hallucinations and cats driving motorcycles, not converted into fertilizer to stave off a massive African famine.

Western woke governments haven't spent the past fifty years blocking new energy generation at every opportunity.

Right?

Don't invite the guillotines, dudes.

Why not notify their electric company to cut their power to halt infringement?

Or their water company so the house is uninhabitable?

The Courts need to recognize that Internet has become a necessary utility and that the music companies need to deal with the individual directly through the Courts, not in a lazy clandestine way.

Grande seems based.

Count the number of emails between a company founder and Epstein before you install their code in your Browser or put your data on their platform.

I mean, spies were spying on you?

Not to mock the victims, but c'mon, Nancy, don't be naÃve.

...and stupid.

After all, we gave up scrolls for books, because rolling the things is dumb.
