Most murder is premeditated
Eh? This is incorrect. Perhaps most fictional murders are premeditated, because that makes for a more interesting mystery to solve, but in real life, the vast majority murders are impulsive, spontaneous acts that happen during arguments, fights, or emotional outbursts (often with the help of alcohol and/or readily available weapons).
Whoops -- accidentally moderated it. Undoing...
If likes and boosts are overrated, then is there a way to find others' posts about a topic or to get more replies to my posts?
"The DoD became the Department Of War and lost their very first war." Yes, but they lost it in the name of Jesus. Let us all now bow our heads in thanks that we have Christian nation able to blow up boats in the Caribbean without even knowing what is in them. It turns out that if you do not love your fellow man, then it is okay to kill them. It is all in the New Golden Bible brought you by el Bunko for $49.99 a pop, $99.99 if you get the version with the Golden Embossed Lettering.
While Wall Street IS dominated by stupid people with a lot of money, but so are Americans; yer basic Americans have been propping stock prices back up every time there is a dip. And WS cares about a lot more than AI, you are only following the Street from the 20,000 foot level. Get closer to ground level and you'll see just how complex is their business.
Lately, some parts of WS has been getting the jitters about how much of a matzo ball AI has hanging out there, specifically the hyper-scalers and the circular financing with which they have been engaged. All the while the Chinese with their open models threaten to blow a gigantic hole in any future riches Sam Altman and Dario Amodei go to sleep counting.
Company CEOs, e.g., over-excited right wingnut Chihuahuas like Ellison, are not WS, they have their own FOMO disease; they are programming to yip excitedly whenever they sniff a new butt of technology.
The Fed. Gov. has been promoting the alleged administration's industrial policy of promoting anything that el Bunko thinks will get him more money. So we have corporate leeches like Howard Lutnick telling Apple to buy Intel chips for no financial reason other than the Fed. Gov. bought a stake in Intel. Now, we cannot even count on capitalists to be anything more than fascist stooges. Check out how his sprogs have "benefited" by him burying his nose in el Bunko's ass.
Lutnick came from Cantor Fitzgerald, which is a global financial services firm, i.e., the do "deals". He sees everything in terms of financial investment. The idea that there may be social costs to his schemes is not something he can comprehend. He is also entirely blind to environmental costs. He has the intellectual depth of dime.
Why would this guess mean anything?
Regardless, most students at Berkeley don't need Calculus 1. And if students do need it, but aren't ready, then send them to the next class down until they are ready.
Calculus 1 pretty much is the lowest-level math class at Berkeley. There's a math fundamentals refresher class, which is for people who are pretty much at pre-calculus level. But if they're saying students really don't understand fractions, it's a mystery how they even got into Berkeley. California has an amazing community college system that will teach you all the way down to basic algebra if you need it, and once you spend a couple of years there, there are easy avenues to transfer to the many high-quality California four-year schools. I sense the op-ed author has an axe of some kind to grind, because even without the SAT, it's not like admissions to Berkeley aren't competitive.
You can also often reduce the risk of cancer recurrence significantly via diet (e.g. avoiding most or all animal products and ultraprocessed foods, and eating lots of greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries & fruits, and nut & seeds) -- especially along with other lifestyle changes like exercise, avoiding smoking and alcohol, stress reduction, good sleep, community, etc..

Problem is there is not much money in such advice... Especially when there are many vested interest in selling unhealthy food and profiting off of sickness. People who make money off of sickness don't even have to win the scientific argument, they just have to seed enough doubt to confuse people so they keep doing what they were doing. That strategy by industry of intentionally sowing confusion is mentioned here 18 minutes in - and it was based on the success by the cigarette industry (and I'd add the fossil fuel industry) in doing the same thing:

"18:24 You know the strategy is not on making their products any safer. The strategy is to just try to confuse the public to introduce doubt. You know.
18:33 there's a famous tobacco industry memo. It's called doubt is our product. That's all they had to do. They didn't have to convince Americans that smoking
18:41 was healthy right. They just had to introduce doubt -- then they would win. If there's just enough controversy people kind of throw up their hands: I
18:49 don't know what to eat. Confusion is their game"
That said, I hope treatments like Moderna's eventually show convincingly that they do a lot more good than harm -- since the process of getting individuals and societies to change their diets can be a very slow one -- as mentioned here about 35 minutes in:

"35:26 [Scharffenberg:] They're going by the cholesterol level with the idea that if you lower your cholesterol you will not have heart attacks anymore.
35:32 It's not true. It's not true. And we made a mistake. We should tell them that lifestyle [including a whole-food plant-based vegetarian diet] is important.
35:40 But the problem is we haven't persuaded people to live like they even know they should live.
35:47 Yes. That's our problem. [Interviewer:] And that's why I'm studying to become a therapist, I want to figure out how do we...people know what to do, but... [Scharffenberg:] A lot of them know what to do.
35:55 They don't do it. [Interviewer:] It's hard, yeah. [Scharffenberg:] It's hard."
Maybe you should stop panicking lie a wee baby and think from the other end: things are working as well as they can, and the problem is a lot bigger than just snapping your fingers and hoping a genie shows up.
Fabs are expensive and big, and can't be built overnight. Even stupid ordinary homes take months to build, and fans are thousands of times bigger with thousands of times the utility requirements.
I don't know what you're saying about the source of updates.
From what I've read, it's AT&T not provisioning the phone for RCS. Access to RCS services isn't enabled, as neither is Wi-Fi calling nor IR.94 video calling.
According to Fairphone's carrier compatibility, the Fairphone 6+ doesn't do RCS on AT&T.
Which they'll shutter or repurpose if the demand plummets. You think they're going keep those factories churning out memory chips if prices drop significantly?
You're right, they'll run the numbers and take whichever path maximizes their net profit -- but shuttering (or even heavily modifying) a facility that they've just invested $$$$ into is unlikely to be found to be their most profitable option. More likely they'll try to sell memory chips at a profit of +$.25 per chip in large volumes, because when you've got is a giant hammer, hammering lots of nails is what you can do best.
That's the really sad part. No aftermarket for them since they will all be industrial grade parts not even compatible with home systems.
I wonder if anyone will start selling home systems capable of using cast-off data center RAM? It might be worthwhile if there's lots of that sort of RAM floating around for cheap.
It's taxpayer money. Means they'll burn through it all the faster.
