When all of this was first happening, it sure did look like Palestine elected a government that attempted to commit genocide against the Jews and drive them out of Israel. The tides have turned and the genocide backfired, but it’s hard to blame NPR for being at one point sympathetic.
If their purpose is to extract resources from 3rd world countries and distribute it to 1st world countries, then they are actually great at what they do.

It makes sense that they are reluctant to make investments. Building new data centers will presumably require more new RAM units then maintaining those that are already in existence. The large influx of new infrastructure is a temporary condition.
Regardless, a quick Google search indicates that about a half a trillion dollars has recently been spent on building new foundries in the United States. Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022 coincides with the spike in demand, we are only just at the point where these investments could come into fruition.
When my school was hit by a natural disaster, I had the opportunity to switch from a premier Catholic school to a premier public school for two semesters.
…let me tell you, the biggest disservice that you received was a systematic lowering of academic standards. The difference was night and day. There is no way that that curriculum was preparing students for college.
Since there is a limited window in which brain plasticity is at its peak, catching up at university isn’t an option. Public school students are at a permanent disadvantage; it’s an equal opportunity problem.
If Democrats rescheduled marijuana, they wouldn’t be able to use the issue to win future elections. I love how Biden waited until last minute to demand the rescheduling of marijuana. If he had done it any sooner, his attempt might have been successful.
I don’t think it was purposefully engineered. I’m pretty sure it takes over a decade to ramp up production.
This situation was more complicated then that. The treatment in question was histiotripy. While it might be less invasive than traditional surgery, it isn’t necessarily “better” when dealing with stage 4 cancer that failed to respond to surgery or chemotherapy. It just uses sound waves instead of scalpels.
Realistically, this guy would have died soon regardless of the treatment. It’s unlikely the technician would have been able to identify all the cancer after it’s spread throughout his body. It’s success depends on being able to target the majority of cancer cells, which isn’t easy for Stage 4 cancer.
I have a feeling that the handful of pod casters propogating these theories understand thatthey are lying. As for their audience, most of them listen purely for entertainment and some of them are mentally ill.
…since about 1% of the population is schizophrenic, their are about 3 million people in the United States that might think this real.
It’s not necessarily a waste of tax payer money for a country as small as Switzerland. Switzerland is about twice as large as New Jersey, the 4th smallest US state. It makes sense for them to provide high bandwidth to everyone since their banks and data centers are in the same physical area as their living districts.
In the final fantasy and Pokemon games I played when I was younger -and more recently Expedition 33-there wasn’t any movement. My team was standing static on the left and the enemy team was on the right. BG3 is the first turn based game I played where I can strategically move around a 3D environment.
Since a diet high in sugar does kill human cells and cancer cells are human cells, soda does in fact kill cancer.
I’m not necessarily against this. Right now, social media companies can knowingly target children with sophisticated conditioning techniques that can and will steer their cognitive development. Although they know for a fact that they are manipulating children, they hide behind plausible deniability.
I don’t like age verification, but I don’t see an alternative. Between the robots and the advanced manipulation techniques, something has to give.
I don’t know, man. I’m a Democrat because I support policies like marijuana legalization and free healthcare. The conflict in Iran is pretty low on my agenda. I wouldn’t feel particularly betrayed if he was my elected official.
I never understood bipartisanship. My opinions and beliefs span the entire political spectrum. It feels like people think that anything supported by Republicans must be anti-Democrat.
Lol. “Skyrim in space.”
I think it’s appropriate to round up in this situation. Personally, I catoragize people as “older” when they are between “middle age” and “elderly.”
I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for the first time right now. I’m not particularly a fan of turn-based games, but I’m digging there interpretation of the genre. I like how each character has a limited amount of movement per turn and the ability to navigate through the entire environment. I’m surprised more developers don’t use a similar model.
I’ve seen penicillin and insulin mentioned quite a bit in these comments, but these two compounds were relatively low hanging fruits.
Penicillin in particular is an interesting example. While it’s development might have been in public institutions, it was largely the product of obscene defense expenditure. Things wouldn’t have worked out like they did if it didn’t have military applications.
Thats the thing about government research. Governments have narrow interests, and the average voter isn’t equipped to see the bigger picture. They’d prefer tax breaks over research if given an option. They wouldn’t want to pay for the research, but they’d expect the product of that research to be given for free.
I’m pretty sure their purpose is to stall the public until the Republicans can win an election. If a wealthy person just happened to be born in a Democrat state, then that is the ticket they run on. I’d love to find out how many of them have family and friends that are all conservative.
I’m pretty sure the reason tech employees hate it so much is because it’s an existential threat to their profession. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t spend so much time talking about it.
