And that is why the gov should be using official government channels or Amber alert type systems to disseminate essential information.

If a fire is getting close to my home, I want to learn this information from the appropriate authorities, including what actions need to be taken. Not from some journalist.

Why doesn't the gov just use the Amber alert system to share essential info?

Why do people even need to read articles on a forest fire.

It's a...large fire. In the forest.

I've abandoned it because larger and larger amounts of Reddit users seem to have become more insufferable over the last year or two.

That, and the mobile experience sucks.

"Give money for stock"

Wouldn't that distort the competitive landscape for the other participants, though?

If I were running a business where one of the main customers was the government, shouldn't I be lobbying for the government to take a stake in me, and me only?

"What are the tasks they perform to get there?"

Meetings. Lots of meetings.

I'm not sure it's a trick.

It's just a thing IMO.

I remember watching a documentary on depression.

They did catch a jumper on camera.

They showed him pacing, hesitating, and then jumping.

Would not recommend.

In general, I wouldn't have a problem with this. It was a preplanned stock sale, and the value of Moderna skyrocketed, predictably.

But, this...

"In a congressional hearing in March, Sanders highlighted that Moderna created its vaccine in partnership with the National Institutes of Health and received $1.7 billion in federal grant money for clinical development."

sort of changes things.

The solution? I am not sure.

Well, if a corporation is technically a person, I would say the owner of the driverless car. Assuming it is owned by a corp...

Are we just making lists of things I'll never do?

This would indicate that you reside there, not that you own the location...

Doesn't the home become a crime scene or something? Can't stuff be confiscated?

I don't think you just walk back in and chill as the perps are being led away...

Just curious - do police officers have access to a system that proves home/property ownership?

"I pull off my headset and place it in the “Clean Box,” a small black box that’s supposed to kill bacteria with ultraviolet light. But I can’t help but wonder about all the strangers’ sweat on those non-machine-washable goggles."

To me, this pretty much kills the whole thing.

I don't want someone else's sweat on my face. It's like the equivalent to sharing underwear for me...

We don't even have a generally accepted definition of AGI yet, so...no.

"but how are these "investments"? This money doesn't generate a return or grant equity to the taxpayers."

In the same way that we invest in healthcare and invest in education...

Just because you cannot easily quantify a monetary return, that doesn't mean that it's not an investment...in my opinion

Doug Ford haters popping up in random places...

Aren't most of those investments going to be in American companies?

Canada doesn't have domestic equivalents...

Organization run by Geohot and no actual product delivered yet...

I am probably 100% wrong, but isn't there something about how your police pension is based on your final three years of work?

There is an arrangement where the guys getting ready to retire get a ton of overtime to inflate their final three years of salary, so when their pension calculations are done, they get a big $$$ boost?

This is just what I heard, and I don't have anything to back this up...

Edit:

Retirement benefits: 3% of final compensation per year of service at age 58, with a maximum of 90% benefit based on years of service.

A tangential question...

If someone is suffering from an incurable mental illness, and they want to commit suicide to absolve themselves from the pain and suffering, should we just be like "Ok, go do it" and be totally fine with it?

I don't know the answer, but my inkling is that is not the position that I would take.

Does that make me selfish?

"climate change denier is denying climate change"

He is not a climate change denier...

He is saying the hysteria is unnecessary and we may not be following the optimal approach for dealing with the changing climate.

It's different...

The more I learn, the more I think I might be in the wrong business...

Because the narrative being developed around him is that he is such a selfless guy, humble midwestern values, wants good for America, yet he structures his affairs in a way that he pays as little tax as possible and would be largely unaffected by increased income tax...

I always like how good old Warren Buffett is calling for high earners to be taxed more, yet he never seems to show up on any of these high earner lists...

"the users..."weird""

I would have chosen another word for them...

"1: Do what TCAS is telling you to do.

2: Air Traffic Control does NOT have the final responsibility for your plane, you do."

I wonder if there is some human bias that preferences human directions/instruction over technologically manufactured ones (TCAS).

Especially when it's a stressful, fast paced situation.

Getting granular data like this on a large scale can be rather difficult.

Even knowing things like where the final act was committed (at home, not at home, etc) would be super useful, but that data is hard to come by i'm sure, especially at scale.

Getting income data from specific people can be hard...

I like fried Spam and eggs once in a while.

I prefer not to know how it's made...
