Unfortunately a) economics and politics are inextricably tied and b) politicking will be required to allow economics to have a greater effect (ie by offsetting externalities through taxation).
Were those municipalities and provinces receiving any money from the federal government and is that how they had surpluses? That's certainly how it works here in the US.
The /goal command does a pretty dang good job if you tell it what will satisfy the goal and optionally what will not. It will still eventually stop if it finds the problem impossible (I too wanted faster CI, it could only get to a few minutes slower than my demand.)
Most consumer websites won't demand you share a scan of your face to third parties, until they do. Same exact thing will happen with passkeys, guaranteed.
The alternative, as we all know, is well educated people staying in their home countries and creating companies that compete globally, meaning more services will move overseas. I'm OK with that but I think we need to be honest with ourselves that in no way will reducing H1Bs (or similar) increase local wages or employment rates in the software sector.
It's "funny" that organizations like the AP, NYT, etc, still quote Vance after that. He never really had credibility beforehand but any he may have had was lost, surely.
Phrases like "she slept her way to the top", "she doesn't belong here", etc, are exactly the sort of rhetoric that leads to women's reports of assault being automatically dismissed. It's definitely dangerous. Ask the women in your life, I bet they'll agree.
Certainly yours and mine, given we're both (presumably) adults with experience. I'm not sure if the next generation of kids is going to care much given the popularity of platforms like Roblox.
I think you might be overestimating the sort of projects most of us have worked on throughout our careers -- we haven't been doing much groundbreaking work. LLMs can easily and successfully write most code.
Not directly but there would be every incentive for Flock to publicly and proudly celebrate every time their technology is used to imprison violent people, especially now with all of the negative headlines about cops routinely stalking and tracking innocent people.
I would be OK with Flock-like systems if and only if every search required a narrow warrant signed by a judge. The system should show a blank screen without a valid warrant. Until we have that, the tech should be avoided and IMO destroyed. It's interesting the word warrant never appears in the article.
(The very idea that the existence of cameras means cops will truly take vehicle theft seriously is laughable. Perhaps it has improved the numbers in the short term, but laziness will take hold soon enough.)
It's not fun to always have to couch your language just in case someone doesn't naturally grasp that you're talking about your individual experience on a blog.
Anyone that assumes an author is speaking for everyone will find something else to gripe about, IMO.
Wealthy people don't want more students going to their children's schools. School choice is about funneling public funds to evangelical (aka extremist) Christian churches.
I hope they never try to make a movie -- I don't think it'd be possible to make one that doesn't, say, force a romantic Carl/Katia subplot and doesn't look like garbage.
