Except Starship Troopers, that movie is taken at face value. Would you like to know more?

It would be more impressive if he implemented the tariffs first and promise to remove them when a cease fire has been achieved. Everybody will assume he'll chicken out otherwise, including Russia.

Because they thought not much people would vote for it and it certainly would not get a majority. The aim was for a sizable minority to use for political manoeuvering. Actual winning and having plans for that was inconceivable. But they've seriously misread the people's sentiment.

It was in self defence /s

Brazil already figured out that even with tariffs, Brazil stuff is still cheaper. Production on the USA side hasn't been great.

Big corporations know very well how competition works and would like to avoid it at all costs.

There has to be some way to maintain balance

Management doesn't ask people they want to fire is firing them is a good idea. They themselves would lie like crazy to keep their job and assume therefore everything the developers say would be a lie too.

So some places started forcing developers to use AI with a quota and monitor the usage. Of course the devs don't go checking each AI generated line for correctness. That's bad for the quota. It's guaranteed to add more slop to the codebase.

Within the universe of plastic chemicals, we're looking at the last academic count at about 16,000 chemicals that are used or present in plastics."

Dr Symeonides says only one-third of those chemicals appear to have been evaluated for their potential hazard, and about "75 per cent" of those evaluated have been identified as hazardous.

So basically flood the world with chemicals without care if they're dangerous and be very surprised when bad things happen.

Ha. Intellectual Soylent.

That was my physics teacher.

"So materials shrink as they get colder."

"Ma'am, doesn't ice expand?"

"We don't talk about that."

When scientists warned that milk could be contaminated with bird flu and pasteurized milk was safe, they started drinking raw milk en masse. There is no logic for them.

Every type of AI that was ever made had people saying that this is the one that'll bring is general intelligence. It's just a matter of scaling it up further, the hype crashed and there was an AI winter. Now LLM have their own problems scaling up and nothing really indicating it's anywhere near general intelligence. There isn't much more data to train them on. And so far, not enough people willing to pay for it. Definitely bubble territory.

There is a power struggle going on in the CCP and Xi is losing.

So they can't keep selling their soul and dignity without consequences.

Next are journalists, activists (especially leaders/organizers), political opponents and critics. That's the classics.

These corporate messages always remind me of that Lego Movie song: 🎶 Everything is Awesome 🎵

Seems a good way to destroy the legitimacy of the government. That's not representing the will of the people.
