Meta is spending a lot of money on age verification lobbying

Yea but you're not a billionaire running a giant social manipulation tool.

The article is missing a bit about Bovino the other day. He threw a sieg heil and has been videoed doing "paper beats rock" with agents which is a white supremacist dog whistle. These people are openly racist and have unaccountable power to stomp around Chicago and destroy the community.

*Edit: I forgot to mention, please consider (1) organizing with your neighbors now because this is probably coming to you sometime soon and (2) donating to ICIRR which is doing amazing on the ground work right now https://www.icirr.org/

Anyone who thinks this is pro-labor in any way or going to increase American salaries needs to spend some serious time thinking about who is implementing this policy.

> Immigration is as pro-capital and anti-labor as you can get, yet somehow the left has been convinced to support it.

"Immigration" as such is a made up concept. The legal and physical barriers created by immigration policy are pro-capital and anti-labor. If people could freely move around the world, you can bet there'd be much more focus on pro-labor policies.

You know Asians can be racist against Asians right?

> "acksually they're fetuses"

I highly doubt anyone in your actual life has said this to you, or distilled the entire argument down to this point.

> because it's semantic bullshit

Obviously, semantics isn't "bullshit" because there's been a massive decades long debate over semantics, including millions and millions spent by the right to define the semantics.

I can concede that some people hear this debate and think they're under attack in a "culture war", which I'm really not sure what the solution to that is because semantics is important.

What point are you trying to make? I don't see how you're connecting these things. The highway where I live is certainly designed with racist intent.

In my experience it's far less useful than simple auto complete. It makes things up for even small amounts of code that I have to pause my flow to correct. Also, without actually googling you don't get any context or understanding of what it's writing.

Uh there are plenty of people with constructive ideas about government reform.

Anecdotally, I work for a very large tech company and the CFPB is mentioned frequently as an important regulator. It has (had) an outsized impact where it regulated and definitely caused companies to change their behavior or at least be more continuous.

> What I’m looking for is therefore not just the correct answer, but the correct answer in an amount of time that’s faster than it would take me to research the answer myself, and also faster than it takes me to verify the answer given by the machine.

This is why I haven't found AI tools very useful. I find my self spending more time verifying and fixing it's answers than I would have just doing or learning the darn thing myself.

Economics is inherently a political venture. Organizing markets is political and obviously impacts politics.

I think you'll find basically everything is political. Do you have a fear of debate or criticism?

Infowars was based in Austin. Joe Rogan is in Austin. How does moving to Austin mean they are "ideologically" in California?

Pretty disengenious summary on your part. From the report you linked:

> Firstly, all stakeholders who use the IPC for high-level decision-making must understand that whether a Famine classification is confirmed does not in any manner change the fact that extreme human suffering is without a doubt currently ongoing in the Gaza Strip and does not in any manner change the immediate humanitarian imperative to address this civilian suffering by enabling complete, safe, unhindered, and sustained humanitarian access into and throughout the Gaza Strip, including through ceasing hostilities. All actors should not wait until a Famine classification for the current period is made to act accordingly.

> Secondly, the FRC would like to highlight that the very fact that we are unable to endorse (or not) FEWS NET’s analysis is driven by the lack of essential up to date data on human well-being in Northern Gaza, and Gaza at large. Thus, the FRC strongly requests all parties to enable humanitarian access in general, and specifically to provide a window of opportunity to conduct field surveys in Northern Gaza to have more solid evidence of the food consumption, nutrition, and mortality situation.

Happens to me all the time with Google because I'm choosing not to pay for their backup. They constantly bother me about almost running out of space, even with a modal that requires you to use a toggle to dismiss it without accepting. It's gross.

What issues are you seeing?

"Disneyland" in this context is more about it being a highly managed place with no sense of local history.

Except these types of accidents can maim and kill the environment and people at a much worse degree than a doctor or lawyer. Generations of damage.

Last time I tried pihole YouTube was completely broken. I'd love to use it but haven't had time in the past to research fixing these issues.

Shakespeare's works likely wouldn't have been known without a team of performers to perform them, without an audience willing to accept them, no one gets anything done alone.

You're making a strawman in aggregating the deals. Whether or not in aggregate Chicago has good financials, at the end of the day, the parking meter deal is taking huge amounts of tax payer dollars for decades to, in essence, prevent modernize streets and reduce dependence on cars.

If you're having trust issues in an adventure, maybe you should skip it altogether.

No thanks

Fire fighting foam is, surprisingly, one of the main ways pfas are spread. Recent majority report episode on the topic:

No, I agree. I just mean like when they say, hey this will take 2 hours, how do they know? Do they even care? Or just everyone cheats and does more than the allotted time?

I did one take home that was timed in coderpad. I thought that was a little more fair.

> plenty of companies who do not require that

I'd love a list.

> even if you post about this everywhere, there is a very small chance you can change anything

What's your point? Don't post?

It's been a requirement for the majority of interview processes I've been in for senior and staff positions.

TBH my past 2 jobs requested a take home assessment. 1 was a great job, 1 has been a nightmare.
