Feel like some people here are being emotionally invested thinking this study is a sort of a blame game encouraging us to berate the wealthy individuals for their investments. I can't say whether the researchers had this in mind or not but from reading the study it looks like an aim of devising this metric was to figure out a strategy of investment taxation to deter wealthy people from investing in industries that are ravaging the planet:

By linking GHG emissions with the incomes it enables our work has quantified the scale of emissions inequality in U.S. society and the extreme and growing concentration of emissions among very wealthy households. It also offers some suggestions on how accelerated decarbonization and revenue generation might occur, such as an income or shareholder-based carbon tax that reflects the GHG intensity of one’s income sources or financial assets. This is distinct from consumer facing carbon taxes that rely on individuals decarbonizing the economy by shifting their consumption to less GHG intensive goods and services and thereby encouraging companies to respond to their new preferences. A consumer-facing approach assumes individual consumers have the knowledge, financial resources, and agency to shift spending and the power to alter corporate decision making on the GHG intensity of their supply chain and operations. An alternative income or shareholder facing carbon tax puts pressure on executives and large shareholders (i.e. those with the most economic and corporate power) to act in their own self-interest and decarbonize their supply chain and operations in order to reduce taxes on their compensation and investments. Recent work has calculated that a climate inspired wealth tax could indeed be an effective tool to raise revenue for adaptation and mitigation efforts [52, 53].

That's great.

With how reliant governments are on privately owned social media platforms I sometimes feel some open source social media platform should be run as a public utility so that public communications are at the mercy of wealthy megalomaniacs though I don't know how that would work in practice.

I used an hour long audio clip and it worked without issues. Though I don't know if this will be free forever.

Thanks

Terrible argument. Textbook case of:

extremely short jail time for being a shitbag

What did he do?

You selectively picked an activity that American soldiers would do everywhere (peeing) over something they did only in Afghanistan (guarding opium fields) only because it would support your argument.

That my dear good m'sir is a classic case of cherry picking.

(Don’t mind the document obvious American Exceptionalist anti-China and anti-Russia ideology, the information seems legitimate. It seems absolutely everything that comes out of USA is cursed…)

Not just that. The whole website is a far-right effort of MAGA chuds. While it's beyond doubt that Bidens are corrupt pieces of criminal shit.

But yeah media has been practically silent on this topic. All in the name of protecting Joe Biden. I actually don't know what will come out of it.

Does not seem like words have meanings. All the nuance in your tank is reserved for the constant America-led warmongering in the middle east with a death toll in millions, many more displaced, and known torture sites like Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and god known how many more black sites. Meanwhile the Uyghur are unequivocally being genocided despite ZERO CONFIRMED CASUALTIES four years into the news cycle. So your litmus test for genocide seems to be

Analysts criticized an earlier draft of the regulations released in April as deeply unfriendly to the industry. Some requirements, they said, like that companies should verify the accuracy of the data their AI models learned on — which in many cases includes huge chunks of text from the internet like Reddit and Wikipedia, both banned in China — would be nearly impossible to comply with.

I find it insane how ensuring the input's accuracy is something they balk at.

In chatting with Ernie, Chinese search giant Baidu’s prototype AI chatbot, The Washington Post found that even simple requests for facts about China’s government or top leader Xi prompted it to terminate the exchange with a canned reply.

Also you: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/1081955

When you say it like that sure, except they also deny the Uyghur genocide and ignore the fact that China has their internet walled off and heavily censored/policed.

Basically they’re so pro-communism that they looped back around and are now pro-fascists and drink the Kool aid. Not to mention the fact that China is only communist in name lol

How come anytime I read about this guy it always involves his groupies sending death threats?

Same energy as "American military incursions are costing US taxpayer money".

I really dislike when indentation is a part of the syntax (like in YAML). Apart from that it depends on the requirements of the project.

What's LW?

Yes. Back when I used it it used to update five-six times a day sometimes.

For some reason I was under the impression that development had stopped for this app.

Thanks
