This sounds very strange:

- What combat situation will require a military aircraft to be flying 30 meters from civilian jet doing routine flights?

- i don’t believe that there really is no technical solution to provide awareness to civilians of the presence and location of military aircraft without altering the pilot’s experience

- if it had told the Blackhawk crew a plane was way closer, the crew would still be alive. That’s like the whole point.

I have no expertise or n the area, but I can’t share the feeling that decision making is extremely poor, and sometimes it actually takes an outsider, who is free from groupthink and cope, to see that a decision is stupid.

> me 0% chance of ever buying a home where I currently live

The housing crisis is the Everything Crisis. It’s destroying competence of government services, as no one ambitious will accept this fate.

It destroyed competitiveness of our industry because you can’t pay a worker less than it costs to rent.

It’s causing apathy and rise in extremist views among younger population as they realise they have no path to dignified future.

I am hoping that China does well for itself and one day we can just consider them as an example of competent and coherent governance and sort out our shit.

> has been quietly shouting

That’s one hell of a contradiction

You guys are basically on the path to be coming Russia.

Is that a serious thesis anyone serious is entertaining ? Would that mean that you can defraud or kill a tourist with no consequences?

You are basically saying that everybody has to help ICE for free and on occasion do the job of ICE for free. That’s very totalitarian.

At the same time, it is settled law that a police officer cannot be held liable for not protecting citizens or not arresting someone. So you have more obligations than a police officer yet getting none of the pay or legal protections

Imagine you were a private tutor, in a private school on private land. ICE barges into the class trying to arrest one of the kids, but their paperwork is not in order so they promised to come back in 20 minutes

Do you imagine it will be possible to continue with the lesson as normal after such an event?

It is your discretion, when to start or stop a lesson, you work for yourself.

Do you imagine you should be obligated as a teacher to continue the lesson as if nothing has happened?

And if children want to leave to hold them by force?

why is it your problem That ICE isn’t competent and can’t get their shit right the first time?

No one is obligated to do ICE’s dirty work for them. Even most totalitarian countries don’t go that far.

I am still waiting for a “corporations are people” to get death penalty

> bill of rights only applies to citizens.

I could argue that it’s inhumane, contradicts all the values US claims to stand for, or could be used as a back door to harass citizens.

But ultimately fundamental issue is this - if you want to be a seat of global capital and finance, a global reserve currency and the worlds most important stock exchange, that is the price. Transnational corporations, their bosses and employees have to feel secure.

That is the only reason (often corrupt) businessman take their money from Russia, China, and other regimes that do not guarantee human rights and bring it to the west.

But we aren’t car business, am we are in joker business.

When was the last time producer of an app was held legally accountable for negligence, had to pay compensation and damages, etc?

This is both a non-sequitor and a confabulation.

Kids that don’t grow up with their parents do not learn them as first words. Kids that do grow up with their parents, often still learn something else as their first words.

Learning X as your first word does not prove that X is a foundational unit of society, it simply does not follow.

> if your father and a police officer give you conflicting orders, who do you obey?

This goes to show that you, along with many other commenters here, do not grasp the concept because it’s so different from your experience.

Extended family would often raise your kids, I know a person that was taken away by extended family as a child because the father had anger management issues.

They are not functionaries like police, they actually share responsibility. In case of conflict, loyalty is highly situational. And if your mother dies, they would be expected to take you in, even if your father is alive and well.

This is mostly a fiction.

Nuclear family has never had primacy - look at wild, dangerous places, primacy is held by extended family, clans, tribes or mafia.

‘Nuclear family primacy’ exists only In carefully crafted stable and safe societies, and another authority must exist to organise military-age men for matters of war and survival.

Thus nuclear family can only exist as we know it, in a partially undermined condition.

Yeah, about that, businesses are pushing and introducing code written by AI/LLM now, so now you won't even know what your own code does.

> Have you audited this code?

Wrong question. “Are you paid to audit this code?” And “if you fail to audit this code, who’se problem is it?”

Blockchain provides more utility to people living in sanctioned countries, countries with unstable currencies and to criminals than AI ever could.

I like this approach, the challenge us that without a good grasp of finance it is really hard to leverage these opportunities

That’s the same geofencing by another authority

Perhaps, but my point is it's not 'humans communicating freely', the strange thing I see is not my choice.

It sounds like extremely convenient offloading of responsibility for a toxic product

> Let humans communicate freely, some of them will do bad things.

That’s just normal phone calls - no one is complaining about those.

But social networks have algorithms that promote one kind of content over another.

I keep getting recommended YouTube videos of gross and mostly fake pimple removal, on Facebook AI generated fake videos of random crap like Barnacle removal, and google ads for an automated IoT chicken coop.

I have never searched for these things and no living person has ever suggested such things to me. The algorithm lives its own life and none of it is good.

> CEO’s and founders just moan that it isn’t possible to regulate

Surely if a CEO with a billion dollar budget can’t regulate it, neither can a parent?

Don’t we geofence sale of alcohol and tobacco around schools?

> One where the market maker is taking up the cost of providing a market

Does a landlord on a literal physical market take 30% of revenue? I find that unlikely.

How did we arrive here, where supposedly ‘efficient’ digital marketplace is a form of rent higher than actually building physical rent, and expenses on wages and materials for a typical business?

Don’t we already have bioplastics?

It appears we should be able to make appropriate compound if that were our top priority. It just sint

> Do all cases in the UK start with a GP?

yes, and in the entire GP practice they do not have a single device invented in the 21st century. All the tools they have are a stethoscope, oxymeter, otoscope, blood pressure monitor, basically stuff you might have at home

They can't, for example, do a rapid antigen test or a lateral flow test, ultrasound or anything else you may consider a sign of modern medicine and diagnostics. Stuff countries in Eastern Europe and East Asia have already adopted.

Their diagnostic conclusion is heavily influenced by a spreadsheet that lists statistic probability of illness for different demographics, as advised Mckinsey.

If you happen to have a serious condition but fall into a group that is 'suppose to be' healthy (young man with Pneumonia) you will be bounced and told to go home until your condition deteriorates.

They will gatekeep you from getting an X-ray. When your condition deteriorates and is incontrovertible you will be taken seriously, but now you need serious treatment instead of a quick round of antibiotics.

Popular opinion in Britain is that the NHS is great, but it's overburdened. But it's fallen behind - management practices are archaic, diagnostics is poor, and there is lack of accountability and first reaction to medical errors is to brush off the patients / victims.

Over the past few decades, the first reaction of NHS management is to cover up their mistakes.

Just read the Wiki page about Great Ormond Street Hospitalk, the hospital that treats the country's most severely ill children:

> Great Ormond Street Hospital was involved in a scandal regarding the removal of live tissue and organs from children during surgery and onward sale to pharmaceutical companies without the knowledge of parents in 2001

Or the case with bone surgeon Yaser Jabbar, at the same hospital, who caused severe harm to 22 children and the hospital fought the parents and brushed issues under the carpet. Issues like removing wrong organ and getting length of a foot wrong by 20 centimeters. He operated on 700 children before someone put a stop to it

> nobody is required to help you, even the government

Seems very convenient, what am I paying taxes for then?

What are you trying to say?

A company only exists as legal fiction created by government bureaucrats.

Governments regularly issue documents about these companies, I.e. certificate of incorporation.

How is this any different?

Russia/ukraine war shows that quantity and availability of equipment is ans important as features/quality.

Suppose that 4 grippers can be bought for the price of 1 F35. That will be more combat missions andgreater contribution to defence

This risk factor sounds less like a normal chemical substance and more on the level of uranium
