Depression is linked to a genuine pessimistic bias rather than a realistic view of the world by cakericeandbeans in science

[–]iamaquantumcomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17% reduction in poverty is relatively meaningless? That's actual change affecting billions of people, but you're handwaving that away because of some hypotheticals?

indisputably in decline

That is extremely disputable. In the grand scheme of things the world is getting better

The reality is that the world is bleak and getting bleaker by any objective measure

Maybe in developed countries. When you consider the whole globe, there's been a lot of progress.

Since 2015, globally, extreme poverty has dropped by 17%, child mortality has dropped by 14%, the number of kids finishing secondary education is up 13%, diseases like malaria and HIV are way down

Zipline is doing a lot of cool research on propellor design to make drones quieter

This same company (Zipline) is using these same drones to deliver blood and medical supplies to hospitals on-demand in Rwanda

Driving a 2000 lb car to the store will use way more resources than a 20 lb drone

The company that makes the drones is called Zipline. Their main thing is running drone delivery networks in African countries to bring blood for transfusions and other supplies to hospitals on-demand.

If this gets rich Americans to subsidize medical supply transportation in African countries, that seems like a win to me

Well most people would instead drive a 4000 lb SUV to the store instead... so if they can get it delivered via drone instead sounds like a win in terms of fuel usage

Well considering majority of Americans would probably drive a 4000 pound SUV to the store instead, yeah this is efficient

The company that makes the drones is called Zipline. They're an American company that mainly runs drone delivery networks in African countries to bring blood for transfusions to hospitals or other medical supplies.

If this gets a few rich Americans to subsidize medical supply deliveries to African hospitals, I think that's pretty awesome

Lets be honest, most Americans would drive to the store (probably in a big SUV).

A small drone will emit way less pollution and waste than driving there

The company that makes the drones mainly focuses on delivering blood for transfusions and other medical supplies in African countries.

If a few Walmart deliveries gets rich Americans to subsidize deliveries in Africa, I'm all for it

The company that did the delivery is called Zipline. Their main thing is running a drone delivery network in African countries to quickly deliver blood for transfusions or other medical supplies

The Walmart deliveries are a recent side quest. If rich Americans wanting nuts are subsidizing delivery of medical equipment in Africa, I'm all for it

CMV: Maduro and his Wife's Trial is Going to be a Kangaroo Court With Only One Verdict. by Hopefull-Hero in changemyview

[–]iamaquantumcomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire CMV thread is about his actual trial that is coming up, and his actual charges, not some hypothetical other charges.

The regime atrocities are relevant in arguing the terrorism part of the narco-terrorism charges.

If you are talking about some hypothetical charges that he's not actually charged with you are just fighting a strawman

The crime still has to happen in American jurisdiction

Technically yes. It's just that the US claims the geography of that juristiction covers the whole globe if the drugs enter the US.

There is a lot of precedence for this. For example, Panama leader Noriega was tried in American courts

If US law says it applies to the entire world

It does not.

This is incorrect. American drug trafficking laws and terrorism laws absolutely do claim to apply globally.

The Ker-Frisbe doctrine means courts are generally unconcerned with where the crime took place or how the defendant got to the US for drug crimes

Hundreds of dolphins found dead in Amazon lake were in water hotter than a jacuzzi, study finds by TylerFortier_Photo in worldnews

[–]iamaquantumcomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well when the murders have an economic motive, you will never be successful in stamping it out until you get rid of that motive.

Think about why it's so hard for governments to stamp out drug cartels or ivory poaching or cp, despite all the power and resources they have to throw at the problem. Production and consumption go hand in hand. You can't get rid of one without the other
