That is the only thing that will get the attention of oligarchs and politicians.
Sure, it will get their attention. Then what? Apparently you think: "well then they'll change conditions to make parenting feasible." No, they won't. They'll just do what they've been doing: import 80 IQ third worlders, preferably under a visa regime that makes them compliant.
Among the "Related links" appearing on this stories page: "New Junior Developers Can't Actual Code."
No more fake-it-till-you-make-it eye-tee jerbs.
Also, what will India do? There aren't going to be positions for the hoards of $60k/year visa slaves and their "masters" degrees. There won't even be work for the remote ones: the language models are just as good, if not better, at copypasta "consultant" work as the remote Indians.
It's so weird that when I was a kid the Left had "Save the Whales!!" bumper stickers and now it's the Right-Conservationists.
They even dedicated Star Trek IV to the cause.
Maybe if the whale killers get reinstated we'll at least get case law to prohibit permitting denials for Integral Fast Reactors and that can at least clean up the Boomers' nuclear waste to protect the ecosystem long term.
âoeWhite people invented racismâ- no. Go anywhere, literally anywhere else on earth and youâ(TM)ll find out that racism is much worse and no one is even bothering to fight it. The only thing that sets the West apart is its attempt to build real equality. What will really burn your grits is the fact that this attempt is based in a Christian anthropology. Other religions have enthusiastically embraced racism and discrimination.
Welcome to the ugly side of bureaucracy: a sitting president can delay an industry or disfavored group long enough to crash their financial position and kill investment. Even though wind projects can continue, who would be crazy enough to build one now? Do they think the other federal roadblocks will be easier?
It was always a delay tactic and a signal that the government tap for wind projects had run dry, a forcing function meant to redirect dollars to nuclear. Nobody, Trump included, expected it would stand. And he got almost a year of what he wanted while it wound through the courts.
If the Fed just invented UBI by printing money, the prices of basics would skyrocket. You would forever be chasing an impossible dream.
Does that also apply to Biden shutting down the Canadian oil pipeline and freezing out new drilling and exploration and cancelling existing already issued permits?
Typical 2025 slashdot posting template:
Trump does $thing: worst thing ever, clear constitutional violation! Corruption! Orange Man Bad! +5 informative!
Biden does exact same $thing: brilliant! Saving the world one step at a time! Good honest Joe! +5 informative!
Can't make this shit up. No point in making a joke, the fruit isn't hanging low, it's on the ground.
I didn't draw parallels, I explained how the greed of the trumpistani business, the corruption of the trumpistani state and the need of China for better tools to oppress their population have created a beautiful union.
You don't like it? Do something about it, don't insult the messengers, moron
There is no union. There is no fascism in the United States. There are only mentally ill people who dream up new ways to be a victim. What China is doing is fascism and it has nothing to do with the U.S. Building surveillance equipment is morally agnostic. It is the application of the tool that determines the appropriateness of the action. It is neither a crime nor morally wrong to invent. In this case, responsibility falls squarely on the nation state that has decided to act out against a defector, shit that has nothing to do with the U.S. administration. Keep wrapping yourself in the "messenger" cloak, as if you can somehow gaslight people into believing you are just reporting the facts. You are a liar and an asshole. Your facts have no basis in reality as you conflate the behavior of the PRC, an authoritarian regime, with a constitutional republic.
I don't think "US tech" is really the problem here:
If some means to Blame America First (tm) is not provided, it doesn't live long in the echo chamber most slashsnotters inhabit.
Since the Catholic Church implemented safe environment training and never alone with an adult requirements, only ten cases of sexual abuse have happened in 15 years. By contrast, over 5000 children have been abused in Pennsylvania public schools in the past five years. But yeah tell me again how this is a whataboutism problem.
I like the super clean and minimalist look. Snappy and no junk on screen for the sake of flashy junk.
Kind of reminds me of when I used twm back in the day but prettier.
Does not give me a headache, make my eyeballs bleed or have distracting noise like other systems I've seen.
A lot of people will hate it. Not flashy.
Seriously? Trump has clearly annointed Vance.
Watch when they're at press conferences together (or just taking random questions at some event).
I have seen many times it goes like this:
1) reporter asks serious question about whatever controversial topic to Trump
2) Trump turns to Vance, nods or asks if he'd like to take that one
3) Vance replies for next 3 minutes while Trump watches Vance, clearly listening to every word.
You think that behavior is random or Trump is afraid of the press? It's a good bet they have discussed these topics many times and reviewed Vance's answer after in private. I have done the exact same thing with junior managers who reported to me to 1) make sure they're awake, 2) make sure they're in the loop, and 3) make sure they're learning something. It was for their benefit not mine. I didn't --need-- my junior managers to do anything but process paperwork but I had them do more to grow their skills and careers. Most of them are now VP or Senior Directors. One is a small company CTO. Trump treats Vance the same way.
By the time the 28 election starts Vance will be extremely well practiced on every topic and smooth as soft shit in front of the cameras, press, and voters. There won't be any word salad or stupid meme quotes available.
Vance has clearly been anointed The Chosen One by anyone paying attention. There isn't even another potential candidate on scene.
As far as the internal fighting on the conservative side, I'm guessing you don't have any conservatives in your friend circle or online who are willing to discuss politics with you. If they did and you're like most leftists you already cut them out of your life. We are not at war. There is no conflict. The differences between conservatives are trivial compared to any conservative and any leftist. We're fine. Don't worry about us. We know which way to vote to save the country from the left. Worry about your own side, no one else is.
That you got modded +5 insightful is not because you're insightful. It's because slashdot is a leftist echo chamber where all things left are good and perfect and moral and ethical and right while everything not leftist is bad, evil, stupid, ignorant, immoral and unethical. Getting a +5 here is easy, just repeat leftist propaganda, especially about people on the right, not a single one of whom you've ever had a conversation with. You don't know us. You just know the false representation you've created as a punching bag. If we're so stupid how is it you're facing 12 years of Trump/Vance and lost all 3 centers of government power?
It's hard to think of you as the end result of millions of years of evolution.
