I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

Man, it's like you spend centuries brutalizing all your neighbors, if not outright conquering them and enforcing holocausts, and this is the thanks you get!

OSHA.

The throwers have a union to stop them from killing themselves, which means we don't give them 40kg things to break their backs regularly and anything over 22kgs they buddy lift or get a hoist or something.

Thought it was just airlines being airlines too, but this makes complete sense, don't be dicks about other people's health.

When I was an American I witnessed an obvious Russian agent get elected... twice, and destroy the standing of the US completely.

That was so much more fun than it had any right to be.

Nailed it, investors are demanding profit increases, it's not just interest rates (though they're the main reason) but also the corporate tax cuts in 2018 basically dumped a ton of profit onto corporations because they repatriated all their offshore cash they'd been hoarding.

That bump lasted 2 years, but the expectation of higher revenue is still there, it doesn't matter if you got lucky at slots last month, if you make your normal salary this month investors will be absolutely pissed.

The GDPR is one of the regulations that actually seems to help on a daily basis.

23andMe is going bankrupt and now a good part of the US is having their DNA sold to the highest bidder.

You're making a mistake.

He's not the disease, he's only a symptom of something we're otherwise able to ignore.

There are vast oceans of his supporters who love him because he "tells it like it is", ie he helps them speak more openly about their own bigotry.

Trump going away will only give us someone else, and honestly, they'll probably be moderately competent.

Trump is a godsend, because he is so absolutely, perfectly stupid and incompetent, a real operator would be devastating. Use this opportunity to gain resistance to their form of plague before it's too late.

Optimization, son.

Boneitis

And polls continue to call the race a tie.

At some point we have to acknowledge that roughly 30% of our population are just evil, fascist monsters. Having lived in those states, this isn't a surprise.

God damnit...

Wow, this milkshake brings all the .ml to the yard.l

And there it is, the actual reason the owning class are jizzing themselves over AI:

Yeah, it's an in-group exclusivity signifier.

Shame, math is some of the worst at this, everything is named after some guy, so there's 0 semantic associativity, you either know exactly which Gaussian term they mean, or you are completely clueless even though they just mean noise with a normal distribution.

edit: Currently in a very inter-disciplinary field where the different mathematicians have their own language which has to be translated back into first software, then hardware. It's so confusing at first till you spend 30 minutes on wikipedia to realize they're just using an esoteric term to describe something you've used forever.
