Gandalf's line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.
All companies will eventually try to become monopolies if they get large enough. It's the nature of capitalism, to do whatever it takes for the bottom line of profit and company growth. That's why regulations are a good thing, to put limits where a company alone will never do.
Never made? Development took a while but they did release a final version, and apparently the source code is now open-source.
The game itself is good, although the ending was a bit surreal. The gem is the engine and graphics, the "feel", and that editor. It's too good, as in no one really used it to the potentials it could have been. There was even a multiplayer mod.
Now I'm no lawyer and I can see how the details of this makes it seem like a complex issue, but my gut reaction was that it should be unconstitutional first and foremost for one group to be able to through their religious beliefs deny basic well being for others, especially in such a broad manner.
And my first response days ago before even seeing the specifics of this case was "the best way to topple ACA is and always has been to propose something better". Almost 20 years later and this has never been a route the Republicans have tried.
AI certainly can be a tool to combat it. Such things should have been hardcoded within these neural nets to have some type of watermarking way before it became a problem, but now as far as it's gone and in the open, it's a bit too late for that remedy.
But when tools are put out to detect what is and isn't AI, trust will develop in THOSE AI systems, and then they could be manipulated to claim actual real events aren't true. The real problem is that the humans in all of this from the beginning are losing their ability to critically examine and verify what they're being shown. I.e., people are gullible, always have been to a point, but are at the height now of believing anything they're told without question.
Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to forgive millions of people’s student loans, only to be stopped by courts.
Both sides, something something.
“American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said.
You're hurting a large number of those taxpayers by doing this. This is akin to looking for budget cuts by going after who has the smallest amount of funding like NASA and the Arts.
Plus, some countries actually consider investing in their students to improve their overall society. They don't try to make profit off of them while minimizing who can get an education. I think our goals in the US are a bit messed up.
Any places around the urban areas or higher learning in NC won't look twice at an interracial couple, they're everywhere. There's still racists here, don't get me wrong, but they hold their tongue usually.
I agree, possibly starting with the Southern Strategy for our situation now, but even before that since influencing people to think certain ways isn't anything new.
It's a problem of education as well as isolation (purposeful or not). You can't know what you haven't been exposed to, nor can you easily argue against something that you're surrounded by (especially as a kid). That being said, there is absolutely no excuse for the older crowd to be like this, as they have heard something about the experiences of parents or grandparents who first hand knew what the fight was about. The Greatest Generation, and certainly many before them, would be shocked at what's been forgotten about authoritarianism, dictators, and nationalism.
I keep having flashbacks to scenes from the series "Years and Years". Anyone who has seen the first season at least knows what I'm talking about. The US in that world became more authoritarian and pulled away from the rest of the world, so it was more of a background and not heard much about. Until they did things. Given how the UK (where the show's setting was) was more progressive and open in many ways and yet still got very ugly, I can't even imagine what the unseen US was like.
You can disagree with deporting him because a prior administration decided he should not be immediately be deported, but administrations change and so can the decisions of a prior administration with a new administration.
