No, those are usually outgoing.

his racist and toxic comments in the past make it hard to recommend it to anyone

He mended his ways, and didn’t do it again. What else do you want him to do, to atone for his sins?

he dint really accept his/or dealt with the consequences,

1. He publically apologized for it (no ukulele though, which is how you know it’s a fake apology)
2. He didn’t do it again

What else would you want him to do?

And what consequences are you specifically talking about?

there is literally no possible usecase for Generative AI

Demonstrably false: GenCast, a Diffusion model (and thus GenAI), is freely available here as source code to train it yourself if you so wish. ERA5 data is free to download.

It’s cheaper and more accurate in both result and resolution to run a classic Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model.

I will fully agree that all the slop that’s being generated is shite and a waste of time though.

Mathematical Problems with Winner-Takes-All Voting Systems.

I’m Dutch; I can vote for 16 different parties or so… None of those represent me well, and the one I’m voting for never wins anywhere close :(

Everyone deserves health care.

Even people who don’t live in your country? Because that’s going to be a strain on your healthcare system.

Yes, yes, it’s a nice ideal, but when the rubber meets the road, shit can hit the fan, which means healthcare for the FIFO, and the rich.

If it’s “everyone in my circle deserves healthcare”, then it’s very realistic. “Everyone in my country” might even work as well. “Everyone in the world deserves healthcare in my country” not so much.

Who? I know of one guy from the UK - Peter Mandelson, as named in the article and summary. Who else?

she has had European clients shocked to learn they can face serious consequences for briefly overstaying a visa.

Are people stupid? Visa says “GTFO before this date”. If you then don’t then there are consequences. It’s not that hard to understand, no?

I agree that it’s ridiculous how people treated in those jails, and that he should not have been held for 3 months, but come on…

And he was locked up before Trump took office.

So you’re saying this happened under Biden? Not sure whether this is the dunk-on-Trump that people think it is >_>

I would argue we have a whole list of purposes:

• procreate
• copulate
• mate
• engage in sexual reproduction
• propagate the species
• reproduce
• conceive life
• bring forth offspring
• weave new generations
• kindle the spark of life
• sow the seeds of tomorrow
• whip up some womb-biscuits
• bake a bun in the baby oven
• start a stork-summoning ritual
• do the chromosome cha-cha
• know each other in the biblical sense
• lie together
• hook up
• get it on
• do the deed
• bump uglies
• initiate a genetic merge request
• fork the DNA repo
• compile the next generation
• instantiate another human

I think you got the gist.

And in the meantime also entertain ourselves, of course.

We live longer and longer, retirement age is something that needs to be adjusted with the human lifespan.

I think it has more to do with the baby boom right after 1945. If those older people retire, there isn’t enough younger generation to support them, so more people need to work longer, so we don’t get too many retired people all at once.

I think it’s more of a “can we support the retired” kind of issue - not just “muh money”. It’s a little more nuanced than that.

Eh, I liked it for explaining how people can behave differently.

It doesn’t have much predictive power, and thus is bad science, but I like its descriptive power. I also think it’s a bad idea to see it as a quaterny (binary, trinery, …) instead of a spectrum. Same with being introverted/extraverted - that’s a spectrum as well, IMO.

they were older then me at the time.

The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).

It’s what clocks are “supposed” to be set at

Even better for us Dutchies: CEST shifts us one hour, but our timezone is the same as the rest of the mainland, but technically we’re inside the UTC zone, so we’re actually shifted 2 hours from where we’re supposed to be!

Fuck the economy, I want our times fixed, so we can sleep better!

Nginx-Proxy-Manager. Got it.

I didn’t read the parent comment well enough and was wondering what the Node Package Manager had to do with anything 😂

Here is the actual report.

An estimated 80 per cent of all homicide victims in 2023 were men while 20 per cent were women, but lethal violence within the family takes a much higher toll on women than men, with almost 60 per cent of all women who were intentionally killed in 2023 being victims of intimate partner/family member homicide.

Taking this 60%, that would mean that about 92.4 men were killed.

Domestic violence is a huge issue, and women are more likely to suffer from it!

Yes and yes.

and scientifically literate readers won’t dismiss your credibility along with your cause.

No. If you care about women’s lives, you’ll focus on cancer instead.

Homocide per 100k capita of women (summed the separate numbers on page 9, worldwide): 7.4

Deaths per 100k capita of women just in the USA (listed under “Sex and Race/Ethnicity”): 126

Here’s your headline: Women are 1602.70% more likely to die of cancer, than of homicide at home!!!

Now… Homicide bad. very bad. Homicide very bad (self-defence does obviously not count). But compared to some other numbers that are also bad, maybe homicide relatively not that bad.
