I agree, we all have search engines and if someone doesn’t understand a word or phrase they can learn it on their own. Brilliant write up!
Honestly, for how much fresh water they hold, I’m surprised how small their watershed is.
Love your optimism
You’re right. I was being very Ameri-centric. I subconsciously interchange free speech and the first amendment even though they are not equal.
I do believe that individuals and private institutions should have this right to react though. I don’t agree with how it was used in this situation, but I absolutely believe the hospital should have the right to terminate someone based on the opinions they openly share.
If this same employee was sharing an anti-vax opinion I would want the hospital to be able to remove them from the role.
That is not what free speech means.
Free speech means the government cannot prohibit free speech. A private institution can take any lawful action they want in retaliation/reaction.
I agree that it really sucks that saying something true can get you fired, but this isn’t an infringement of the first amendment.
I recently heard “Freedom is the availability of choice.” This not only feels like the correct definition, it also includes how poverty strips freedom away by limiting choice. When we say freedom we typically mean political freedom, but I think we should adapt this definition so we can also include economic freedoms.
I get the sentiment, but this is a pretty strawman argument.
Hard to tell if this is a proposal to fight over hardware or an offer for free stuff.
I choose to believe the former because it makes me chuckle more.
What is the easiest way to look that information up?
It’s really funny how segmented the govt is in this sense. The IRS: did you steal something? Gimme some sales tax and we good.
Love how nuclear is a great base load source of energy for day to day fluctuations, but also when viewed from a timeline of decades. Good ol reliable nuclear.
Can someone provide a summary on what this means? I thought there were malicious exploits in this. Why is it back up and the perpetrator unbanned?
Do individual socks count? If so, buying a 10 pack of socks and a 6 pack of undies gets you through half a year by this metric.
Personally I think the biggest hurdle will be moderation and defederation as it pertains to the first amendment. I believe there was already a supreme Court case where blocking a user on Twitter (from an official govt account) was deemed unconstitutional. This precedent might mean a govt instance is not allowed to defederate with any other server unless they defederate with all(?) This is pure speculation on my part, but I can guarantee it would go to the courts.
They all have access to the Internet now. This would be much more detrimental to learning if other resources weren’t in everyone’s pocket.
(Also, Samsung makes their own chips.)
Example holds up better with Google (for Pixel line).
Ok stupid question time. The temperature during the Cretaceous was on average hotter than the 3.9C increase stated to halt photosynthesis. There was certainly photosynthesis going on then, how is that possible? Do we assume the plants had enough time to adapt to that new temperature, changing their photosynthetic machinery to work at higher temperatures than today?
I agree that planting trees is generally good, but doing so can’t sequester the amount of carbon released by humans since the start of the industrial revolution. We need other avenues to do that. If we returned forests back to how they were 100,000 years ago (untouched by modern humans) the new trees that would grow wouldn’t be able to soak up the CO2 released. Returning the forests to that state with the current world population isn’t feasible either as we need some of that land for agriculture.
I get your sentiment, but we’re beyond a ‘plant trees’ solution.
Thanks for keeping us on topic, Chief. We almost stopped thinking about sex for a min.
