Racked by guilt? His company is helping commit genocide by providing AI tools to automatically designate civilians as targets for military strikes.

I’d rather he keeps his money and uses his influence to stop that. He chooses not to do so every day.

Nobody is kept from taking additional education if they want to, like you did. But the general education should be from school and school education needs to define the standard of what everyone should know or should at least have known at some point so he or she can refresh upon it.

If you make it mandatory to make academic education contain every subject like school did, you will end up with programs taking 20 years instead of 5 years to graduate. If you want to discriminate against certain subjects you end up in the same trap of defining certain subjects as relevant and others as irrelevant, like the criticized “STEM-lords”

That is a very broad generalization. First of all inflation is not just some co-product of economic activity. It has specific reasons. An economy is not stagnant because the oil price sinks after geopolitical tensions ease. An economy is not stagnant because businesses are kept from price gouging in cartels or monopoly situations.

Also “stagnant” is not inherently bad. The reason why we need economic growth is because the super rich are siphoning off more and more wealth, so economic growth is the only thing keeping poor people from revolting. A zero growth or even degrowth economy could serve the people very well, if wealth wouldn’t be hoarded away by select few.

Why? Idiots thinking they know more than they do won’t be stopped by this. Also if we wanted to round humanities and liberal arts by making it mandatory to pass analysis, linear algebra, organic chemistry and classical physics would just lead to much more people not graduating anything.

School is for a general education. Academia is for specialization.

Ethics? Trump? The companies stock price has almost quadroupled over the past year. Since Trumps election it nearly doubled.

Everyone who knows the company knows that it serves to aid authoritarian regimes in oppressing its people. It is known that Palantir serves Israel in its genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people. The entire purpose of this company is to help oppress. Palantir is having ties with the ICE since at least 2014.

It is evil through and through and it is laughable to claim that Trump would be the reason why the company would have gone to far.

A maximum of 10,000% profit is “nonprofit”? Any country that allows for something like this is a joke.

He could just take another form of transportation. There is no public records of cars driven or train tickets purchased.

He could even fly with normal airlines so there would be no public record of his flight.

Boycotting Israeli products is mandated by international law. Anything that helps Israel maintain the illegal occupation of the Westbank, Gaza and East Jerusalem is complicity and illegal. Israel launders products that are made in occupied territory and resources stolen in occupied territory as “made in Israel”. But even if product would have been made purely in the 1967 Israeli borders, the companies still pay taxes that are used to finance the army that is doing the occupation.

If you think that upholding international law is crazy or childish i recommend you to look at the period from 1933 to 1945 that is often given as the reason why there was an effort to create international law.

By now i think we need to assume everyone that is willing to use Israeli tech in any government functions, even if it is only “local police” using Palantir software and the like to be compromised by Israeli intelligence.

The data will be compromised to the detriment of the people and politicians who push for using such tech are likely compromised themselves already.

That is a good question. I have to think about it.

The universe is expanding everywhere all at once in all directions. So space itself is “moving”. It is impossible to define movement except relative to another object made from matter.

Relative to the sun, which is the next center of gravity. As you go up the chain you end up with the heaviest object which you cannot move relative to anything, as it is the logical point of relative movement for everything else.

Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.

God is distinct from the creation and has no physical shape inside the creation so the idea of “object too heavy to lift” is already conceptually nonsensical.

But also in the scope of our physics: What would an object be that is too heavy to “lift” for anyone and anything? It would be the heaviest object in the universe. So what will happen with the heaviest object in the universe? It would be the main center of gravity for everything else. In the same way you cannot “lift” the earth, but rather lift yourself from it as your force will just propel you away from the earth rather than the earth away from you, while you are inside the area dominated by earths gravitational field.

The fediverse is much more than just lemmy. That being said i also disagree for lemmy. Drama between mods and communities was a regular thing on reddit. Still reddit managed to grow quite big before the bots took over. And companies are in no way more accountable to the users. Look at what happened with twitter under Musk. The only realistic choice you have as a normal user is to leave. And in the fediverse leaving a shitty instance still allows you to connect with all the other content from a different instance.

That still has a wide range. If you are camping on a camping ground you will have sanitary rooms, dish washing places, likely a hot shower, maybe a kitchen and official fire place.

You wrote “camping in the mountains”. That could include official resting spaces where you just have some benches and maybe an outdoor toilet, or well just pitching your tents somewhere and figuring out the rest yourself.

I think you overestimate the necessity to move long distances in an apocalyptic setting once things have settled. 10miles is actually quite a long distance to move yourself and all your stuff in a day. And since you aren’t expected in the office at 9am, it does not really matter if it takes you 1 hour or 10 days to move somewhere.

Its 16 years ago and the series continued. Last year my wife got all games and played them because she remembered playing the first one back then.

I don’t think it is “culturally forgotten”. Also as the amount of media increases it becomes more difficult to define a “mainstream” that everyone remembers as defining. This has happened to literary eras like a hundred years ago already. Now with music you dont have just MTV, the local radio station and maybe the one internet forum where all the fans of one genre gravitated to. So it is more difficult to be exposed to other people who didn’t forget

I am asking because i know crawler robots exist and are in use since at least a few yearse. The more interesting aspect imo. is the automated image recognition which made huge improvements over the past years. For that it makes sense to have the analysis centralized within reason. E.g. pattern recognition against a larger database. There is local factors too though as materials, construction forms and so on often have historic local differences.

I fail to see, why the wheel needed to be reinvented into flying here.

Some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEMC_3ilpHw https://redzone.com/our-technology/solo/

There is no mention why wheels wouldnt work.

They only mention that flying is difficult because of confined space and changing airflows.
