I think this is the bigger problem, actually. It could have prevented a number of femicides.

Wouldn’t it be smarter to have a law that simply and generically adds penalties on a crime committed out of hate against a population group?

So instead of “just” femicide, it could also cover hate against e.g. members of religions, the handicapped, or, in a reverse case, maybe even cover a hate-murder on a man?

As usual. Our government, your government, totally clueless about how the internet works or what it actually is. And with all the money they waste every day, there seems to be no cent left to get some professional who could explain things on a politicians mental level. We’ve got people who successful teach computers to seniors, maybe politicians should hire some…

I had a hard time explaining to the powers that are that AI would not be able to help in any way, simply because there is no knowledge base available for this kind of job of which it could have learned anything worthwhile.

Most likely, all the interesting papers won’t see the light of the public, because this would be against “national security”, AKA the interests of the rich and influential.

But not such an amount, to be honest.

And saved the government a bunch of money in the process.

The fact that he is puzzled over that just shows how disconnected this company is from its user base.

The grift and corruption might have come to attention with Kash Patel, but instead of throwing one out, they should put the whole Trump mafia behind bars where they belong.

Absolutely hilarious. And then blaming the Democrats for it…

If they had been smart enough to disapprove of him because of his obvious racism, the US probably would not be in this mess.

“Morale has never been lower,” the senior lawmaker said.

With any resemblance of morals thrown out of the window long ago, this is only fitting.

Any Republican going is a chance for the American people to fix the current situation.

when these chemicals do eventually break down they break down into things that are harder to filter.

The very point with PFAS is that they don’t break down. At least not without serious energy input.

And membrane filters catch sodium chloride, which is way smaller than PFAS molecules.

For filters with semipermeable membranes, like sea water filters, FPAS and similar molecules are way too big to pass.

Rich people have organic food and water filters.

Only if you are poor. That’s the goal.

I once worked on a supercomputer in the olden times - this was before Linux. You basically wrote your calculation application on a front-end system with a cross-compiler. It was then transferred to the target machines’ RAM and ran there. Your application was the only thing running on that machine. No OS, no drivers, no interrupts (at least not that I knew of). Just your application directly on the hardware. Once your program was finished, the RAM was read back, and you could analyze the dump to extract your results.

I believe a lot of MAGA influencers are problably either directly employed by the Kremlin, or at least supported from there. For Russia, it is the easiest way to destroy their enemies.

Look what a number Russia did on the UK with their Brexit. And look what they currently do with idiot right wingers in Europe, who, despite “My country first, fuck the rest” always seem to have a very soft spot for “poor old sactioned Russia”, and they more or less unisono state that the Russian attack on Ukraine is just e defense against western/NATO aggression.

So, there was a vote in congress and senate for a law repealing it, or is this just another royal decree from the white palace?

Home schooling is most often used by religious extremists to a) prevent the kids from realizing what normal kids do, b) to indoctrinate them, and c) to keep science out of schooling as far as possible.

Sadly, oversight over home schooling is fragile at best, so this produces a new generation of mental incest.
