WrongAssumption··on Israel, Hamas reach ceasefire deal to end 15 months of war in Gaza
You said tomorrow they will win and be called freedom fighters. I don’t follow. Does it look to you like Hamas won?
WrongAssumption··on US will ban cancer-linked Red Dye No. 3 in cereal and other foods
But what does the EU consider an ingredient? Apparently you can just say oil and call it a day. The U.S. is clearly requiring that everything that composes the oil is listed individually. Surely you can see as clear as day that "oil" is not very specific?
WrongAssumption··on US will ban cancer-linked Red Dye No. 3 in cereal and other foods
This is CLEARLY due to less strict labelling. I mean they just say "oil", what kind of oil?!?!

"Glyphosate has been assessed 3 times in the EU. The first assessment resulted in initial approval of glyphosate in the EU in July 2002. The second assessment, which was carried out between 2012 and 2017, led to the first renewal of approval.

The most recent assessment was carried out between 2019 and 2023 by Member State Competent Authorities, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and showed that there is currently no scientific or legal justification for a ban. This led to the renewal of approval of glyphosate in 2023.

Under the conditions of approval and by following good agricultural practices, glyphosate is considered not to pose any harmful effects on human health or unacceptable effects on the environment."

I use this.

It’s a temporary hair color, which tends not to damage your hair. I find it lasts about a month.

WrongAssumption··on Dropbox announces 20% global workforce reduction
You can certainly work for a US company outside the US, however you will not get a US salary.
WrongAssumption··on Who died and left the US $7B?
I’m not confident you know what a 401k is.
WrongAssumption··on Addition Is All You Need for Energy-Efficient Language Models
So let me get this straight. Universities don’t want to show that Nvidia gpus are obsolete, so they can receive a steady stream of obsolete gpus? For what possible reason, that doesn’t make sense.
WrongAssumption··on Insider trader had all the answers
You don’t have to be nefarious to be bad. Being incompetent definitely makes an federal agency with powers of enforcement bad.
WrongAssumption··on Insider trader had all the answers
And regulations are still enforceable. What is not enforceable is to make a regulation that parallels an existing law, and deny a federal trial because it’s now a “regulation”.
WrongAssumption··on Who Pays for the Arts?
You can’t really believe this. If taxes were optional, people would not pay. How much do you really believe people gift the government?

WrongAssumption··on Hezbollah hand-held radios detonate across Lebanon, sources say
Good thing the US doesn’t spy on allies. What hypocrites they would be!
WrongAssumption··on Hezbollah hand-held radios detonate across Lebanon, sources say
Yes, it’s clear they considered it. It’s the only reason they didn’t make the explosions much more powerful. Why else?
WrongAssumption··on Why Don't Tech Companies Pay Their Engineers to Stay?
What if you stop liking your job?
WrongAssumption··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
Yeah, it’s a legally mandated fall guy. The Brazilian legal representative has no control over what X does. So he appoints one, Elon refuses to ban accounts, and that guy goes to jail for it. It’s madness.

And as established, not the rural plus suburban population.
WrongAssumption··on Amazon bans its drivers from moving their own lips too much at work
The US has yield signs. The yield sign was in fact invented in the US. The first one in the world was installed in Tulsa Oklahoma in the 50s.
WrongAssumption··on Amazon bans its drivers from moving their own lips too much at work
No, they get hit when the driver thinks there aren’t other people around.

They are including suburbs in that number, so that doesn’t really counter the post you are responding to.
WrongAssumption··on Brazil's X ban is sending lots of people to Bluesky
“It closed its office in Brazil earlier this month, saying its representative had been threatened with arrest if she did not comply with orders it described as "censorship" - as well as illegal under Brazilian law.

Justice Moraes had ordered that X accounts accused of spreading disinformation - many supporters of the former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro - must be blocked while they are under investigation.

He said the company's legal representatives would be held liable if any accounts were reactivated.”

They wanted Musk to appoint a legal representative so they could throw them in jail.
