Sounds good to me

Old white man screaming get off my lawn or were all going to die is not a great look.

He doesn't actually say anything about young voters other than acknowledging the party has ignored them, even knowing it needs their votes. Big torch.

Vote, tho

        It would require the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism in enforcing federal statutes prohibiting discrimination against students.
    The IHRA definition, controversially for many on the left, includes "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination" and "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis," as examples of antisemitism.

  

So, I guess they would need to find a non-Nazi genocidal government to compare the actions of this specific Israeli government to. Suggestions?

But where's the mouth functionality?

I've always thought they were trying to escape the soggy mud. Too moist. Drowning. Lane is for bikes.

I agree with you, but I also think this bot was never going to insert itself into any real discussion. The repeated requests for direct, absolute, concise answers that never go into any detail or have any caveats or even suggest that complexity may exist show that it's purpose is to be a religious catechism for Maga. It's meant to affirm believers without bothering about support or persuasion.

Even for someone who doesn't know about this instruction and believes the robot agrees with them on the basis of its unbiased knowledge, how can this experience be intellectually satisfying, or useful, when the robot is not allowed to display any critical reasoning? It's just a string of prayer beads.

So true. This just allows you to give more of your money to a bank over your lifetime. People almost always end up spending as much as they possibly can on a house, usually because they're in competition with a big cohort with similar income in any given area. This will just raise prices as people can get bigger loans.

As a current homeowner, I'm ok with prices going down if more owner-occupiers are actually getting into the market (and ending up as owners not just tenants to the bank). But as long as speculators and corporations can sweep in and steal the deals these lame policies just feel like more corruption.

That's interesting, I don't usually think of gratitude as an alternative to praise, but I'm going to try to keep that in mind in the future. I definitely have felt that I come across as insincere or condescending at times when I give praise and it makes me very self-conscious to give or receive it, but gratitude is just more enjoyable for both parties.

I feel like you might be onto it. If you actually care too much what other people are thinking of you, but are unhappy with yourself for how dependent that makes you (and maybe trying to deny or ignore it), then the direct experience of these compliments would be net negative. When people say bad things, your desire for emotional independence and your immediate urge to hold the comment at a distance are not in conflict, so there's no problem.

We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.

This is everyone. Im not sure I believe the center has dropped out, so much as the loudest people aren't really interested in talking to anyone about things. It seems like it's more important to let people know where you stand than to have an exchange of views. This is built on fear of extremism, fight fire with fire. I don't agree that just posting more diverse viewpoints would help without also stressing the important institutional and social guardrails that ensure people have fundamental rights and a real voice. The fear is that these guardrails are coming off, and then safety is in picking a side (which of course the removal of guardrails). If this guy is so sure that's not the case, he needs to be making that argument publicly.

I'm not a super marginalized person and probably have a lot in common with the author, but I am a woman and maybe that's why I feel it's reality that's radicalizing people, not some top down policy at NPR.

I don't know what cancer has to do with a closed environment. More like a failed "ecosystem in a jar*.

I like the DocuSign model. Just focus on securing your one account (email) and then make all the others use it as single factor.

No experiment, no proof. But, taken with a grain of salt a good survey can be better than pure speculation where experiment is impossible or unethical. On the other hand experiments can prove something, but depending on how reduced or artificial the context they may not be proving as much as you hope, either. Science is just difficult in general.

Felonies all over the place. There are more reasonable charges if the point isn't just to destroy as many lives as possible.

I hope the real Keirans has enough to be worth suing. No way he didn't know some poor guy was sitting in jail for years because of him. What was it all about?

I had the same thought. Like, I think Aurora is one of the most expensive ways to do this in AWS. But, since this particular set of data is so well-defined, and unlikely to change, roll your own is maybe not crazy. The transactions per second and size don't seem that huge to me, so as things grow I imagine they can revisit this.

I think they are suggesting, tongue in cheek, that liberal propaganda is encouraging some tiny cellular being to shift from cis to trans. What the illustrator actually intended, I have no clue.

Something like this:

Biosynthetic cargo proteins enter the Golgi at the cis face of the stack and depart from the trans face (Farquhar and Palade 1981). During passage through the stack, biosynthetic cargo proteins undergo glycan remodeling and other modifications (Ruiz-May et al. 2012; Stanley 2011). Complex polysaccharides are also synthesized within the Golgi (Dick et al. 2012; Parsons et al. 2012). The trans-most cisternae are designated the trans-Golgi network (TGN), and are responsible for packaging biosynthetic cargo proteins and polysaccharides into transport carriers for delivery to downstream destinations

How many times did they remix that 42.5% before being like I'm just going to go be a clown?

Ice-9?

Haha, you are orders of magnitude bigger driving enthusiast than myself! I'd be interested to know what you think of the Tesla.
