Look up the teaching materials leaked by whistleblowers. They treat basic literacy and things like believing in the existence of right and wrong answers to a math problem as "white supremacy". None of this is an accident. What is happening is exactly the intended result of the policies chosen by schools and teachers' unions.

Perhaps it's the fact that there has been no significant change in sea level over the last 8000 years. Even comparing the last two decades. 2010 saw a 3.3 mm rise, while 2020 saw 3.6 mm. Not a significant increase. Especial considering that the variability is 2-5 mm over the long run. This article is nothing but fear mongering.

One of the most toxic aspects of the broader linux community is a refusal to ever actually provide proper documentation or even fixes for tons of things and instead simply demanding people search through decades of obscure forum threads and mailing lists. This could force ubuntu to actually get its shit together.

Comment 1 crash out of 14 crashes (Score 2) 124

The 14 robotaxi "crashes" have been reported:

1 incident was an actual dynamic driving crash: The vehicle was traveling straight at 17 mph and struck a fixed object.Only property damage.
2 incidents were cases where the Tesla was completely stopped, parked, and stationary, one where a city bus scraped the side of it.
2 incidents were parking mishaps where the car backed into a pole or tree at 1 mph and 2 mph.
2 incidents were ultra-low-speed intersection or turn scrapes (one at 2 mph and one with a truck at 4 mph).
5 incidents were minor parking lot or low-speed bumps with no notable damage.

1 incident was a remote-driver fence collision (Minor Injury, No Hospitalization)
The robotaxi was stopped on the right side of an Austin street. The autonomous system encountered a situation it could not resolve and stopped proceeding forward.Following protocol, the safety monitor requested assistance from Tesla's remote support team. A remote human "teleoperator" took over control of the vehicle to steer it away. The remote operator drove the car to the left, but misjudged the space, driving the vehicle up over a curb and into a metal fence at roughly 8 mph.The human safety monitor inside the vehicle suffered a minor, non-life-threatening injury from the abrupt stop on the curb. They did not require a hospital visit.

1 incident was a yield-sign rear-ending (Minor Injury, With Hospitalization)
  The robotaxi was navigating a right-turn slip lane that had a yield sign. The vehicle appropriately stopped to wait for an opening in cross traffic. As the car looked for a gap, the autonomous system began creeping forward slowly at just 2 mph while continuing to yield. An inattentive driver in an SUV behind the Tesla assumed the robotaxi was accelerating into traffic and failed to stop, rear-ending the Tesla at low speed.Even though the physical impact was a minor 2 mph bumper tap, the safety monitor inside the Tesla complained of neck or back pain following the jolt. They sought a precautionary medical evaluation at a local hospital, which legally categorized the event as a "minor injury with hospitalization" in federal tracking databases.

Meanwhile in reality per-pupil spending in the US is some of the highest in the entire world and it's far left policies like abolishing phonics and claiming expecting the right answer in math is "white supremacy" that lead to this, because a neurotic and ignorant population is easier to radicalize.

You're ignoring evidence of outright wrongdoing and egregious ethical violations and pretending it's mere "political leanings". You think you're a centrist but you're not, if the BBC's own internal ethics review isn't enough for you that's ipso facto proof of just how far left you are, all without realizing it. Your ideas of what "left" and "right" are have been skewed that badly.

Your post is a perfect example of circular reasoning. No matter what evidence you're given, no matter what argument is made, you can always circle back to where you started. You've got a way to dismiss and handwave everything away, usually by personally attacking the messenger rather than engaging with the evidence.

The irony of someone ranting about "genocide supporting Bari Weiss" is palpable. If you want to see what genocide support looks like go read the BBC, Associated Press, Al Jazeera, or the New York Times. Bonus points for the NYT as well since they still proudly list a pulitzer prize they won for genocide denial during the holodomor.

AFAIC, these days the Leftists are far more reliable and objective than any Right-favouring sources I've found.

Agreeing with your prejudices is not the same as "reliable and objective".

When you yourself are extreme left then everyone else looks like they're extreme right. The BBC's own internal ethical review was utterly damning and shows that they're institutionally bankrupt and corrupt to the very highest levels.

This website is one of the greatest scams online. They squatted on an emotionally manipulative URL years ago and then proceeded to simply declare whatever the owner wanted to be true regardless of the actual facts. Meanwhile because of the name of the website everyone treats it like some kind of oracle of truth, no matter how much evidence there is that it's a scam. By your logic I could go and squat on the domain "mediabiasfactcheckbiasfactcheck" and declare "mediabiasfactcheck" to be far left and wholly unfactual and you would have to accept it as divine revelation.

The BBC's own internal ethics memo damns it as an utterly bankrupt organization. Al Jazeera is state run propaganda from the country that sheltered the leader of ISIS and helped found the organization. It seems like your standards for "good news sources" live in opposite land, or basically boil down to being as anti western and corrupt as possible.
