> i also wonder why they dont fight for human rights instead of animal rights.

that's like saying "I wonder why you're volunteering at an animal shelter instead of a homeless shelter". a large majority of the population isn't doing either. it's bonkers to criticize the people actually doing something about any injustice in the world. i bet most people working for either cause have done more than you or i will ever do in advancing rights for any species, human or non-human

idbnstra··on Alternatives to animal testing are finally taking off
hopefully animal testing alternatives keep innovating enough that they, like some renewable energy sources today, become cheaper to make use of than their incumbents

idbnstra··on Ask HN: Many SWEngs out there are considering re-training
i'm a junior (a little over 3 yrs xp, some might consider that low senior), and never experienced pre-2023 job market, so i don't really have much to compare the market over the last couple years to. fortunately i had 1-2 years where I didn't use much ai. i don't see my company laying me off in the foreseeable future, but I don't have great pay either. over the last few months i've been getting a few recruiter emails every month, sometimes every week. about 50% are not very applicable to my experience

ai or not, i've always wanted to start my own business, and ai likely will make that easier (maybe)

idbnstra··on California is chasing wealth that has feet
“I think people shouldn’t be displaced from their neighborhoods because of lack of affordability”

I didn’t mention gentrification in the above sentence. Does that mean I’m ignoring the problem?

Since so much of land value is in downtowns, in a theoretical shift to land value tax, most of the increased land value revenue would come from vacant and underdeveloped parcels downtown. The median tax burden on single or multi family homes would actually be reduced. An example is this model of Spokane: https://landeconomics.org/reports/spokane-report#:~:text=sin...

And a lot of the time, it’s those truly rich people who own those vacant/underdeveloped parcels in downtowns.

those who advocate for land value tax are usually advocating for single/minimal types of taxes (and, in fact, against sales and income taxes) rather than a cocktail of them. "Single Tax" predominantly refers to a single land value tax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_tax

> and... talking to your own kids?

i don't doubt they're pushing for using AI for that, but i'm curious of examples of where they're doing this. commercials, ads, etc.
