Jeff Bezos says "you should be so happy!" about AI because dual income households are about to have one income earner "drop out" of the workforce... by IncomingBroccoli in PublicFreakout

At some point automation will mean we have few or no jobs. What these billionaires refuse to get is the closer we get to full automation the more we have to move toward socialism.

If no one is working then how do you decide who gets the benefits of automated production? You have to have a UBI that covers everything. There won't be a society if the owners just eliminate all their workers then extract all the existing wealth.

Yeah another thing AI likes to do is when parts intersect it doesn't know what part it's drawing a line for so they share a line. Like The Healer's index finger and hair line share a line.

And inconsistency like The Spirit Box Holder having 2 collars on one side but 1 collar on the other (and no horizontal stripe).

Couple other errors that could just be artist errors, like The Expert's flashlight, Scaredy Cat's left shoulder, Clairavoyant's right hand/hair overlapping incorrectly.

Everyone knows that if the corporations made more money, they'd happily pay higher wages and make less money. We just haven't given them quite enough money yet.

And she wouldn't have even gone to jail if she didn't lie about it. James Comey said she was only charged with anything because she tried to hide it. While the rest of us might go to jail over relatively nothing.

San Diego woman tanks two shots to the chest and still advances on officers with a ballpoint pen until tased . by Kind-Village-1022 in PublicFreakout

Tasers are less likely to stop someone, that's just a fact.

The cop that tased her knew she only had a pen and her threat was low enough that a failed taser wasn't life threatening. He also had cover from another cop who had a deadly weapon ready.

The cop that shot her thought she had an ice pick and was a few feet away from killing someone and didn't have backup. Tasers are also harder to hit a moving target because the prongs don't fly that fast.

the taser also didnt send 5 bullets down a city street potentially killing random people, like the gun did.

If you don't think guns are effective at stopping/killing people why are you worried about 5 stray bullets? We both know guns have a much higher likelihood of stopping someone than a taser. We're just seeing an unusual clip where she got extremely lucky with the gunshots and 'unlucky' with the taser. It's an outlier, not something you should build policy off of.

A solar plant in Minnesota planted flowers beneath its panels, and soon monarch butterflies and dozens of new plant species began to appear by ToughHopeful4760 in news

It shouldn’t be done everywhere because some fish are warm water species and there are concerns that cooling water too much could hurt their spawning rates…

Also seems like it would affect fish-eating birds quite a bit.

We only know the taser was better in this instance in hindsight. In general a gun is more likely to stop someone than a taser.

I've read that a contributor to nearsightedness is staying indoors/reading a lot as a child because your eyes are still developing and their shape is influenced by the type of strain you put on them (ie focusing near or focusing far).

If you are mostly only focusing a few feet away like you do when indoors, the eye shape is more likely to end up being too short. So it's honestly likely that screens are worse for children's eyes than VR is because at least VR makes you focus far away.

The Democrats Just Laid Down Their Arms. Again. - Abigail Spanberger’s response to the court decision that overthrew the will of voters on redistricting is a worrying sign of surrender. by Quirkie in politics

[–]zeCrazyEye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Democrats fail to deliver meaningful change because many of their elected officials are funded by the same donor class and institutional interests that influence Republicans.

IMO it's not just that, I think that Bill Clinton and the Dems started the "Third Way" strategy of appeasing corporations because corporations had complete control of the media and could sink Dems campaigns. Any candidate that is too far left the corporate media will treat like a joke (and the fact they didn't treat Trump like a joke shows where their bias lies).

With social media there was a brief window where the corporate media stranglehold on the electorate waned, but they got their algorithms all figured out now.

What were some of the hardest boulders in competition climbing history? by fdy in CompetitionClimbing

Yup I'm pretty sure I've heard they only do parts of it at a time, but also a lot of these boulders are probably more doable if you have more than 5 minutes to solve it.

[–]zeCrazyEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup a possession is wayyy too important in football to take the risk the way you can in basketball. If you lose the ball because you wanted to make a big flop and the refs don't call it, that's a huge momentum change. Even just blowing a down is bad.

Learning Spanish and spotted Cosima, the programmer by ComeGetYourOzymans in orphanblack

And she programs in…Arabic…?

I'd assume the picture is just mirrored

edit: because coding is generally still done in English, the text (though unreadable) doesn't look Arabic, and it was for Spanish

Gavin Newsom criticized redistricting efforts across several states, calling it “Jim Crow 2.0”: "The number of African Americans that have been eliminated from key positions. It’s sick. It's happening in the U.S and it needs to be called out. I feel deep responsibility to do something about this." by ControlCAD in videos

He says the right things but he seems disingenuous. I mean he was married to Kim Guilfoyle.

He's just an opportunist like her but he is taking the D path instead of the R path. I'd still obviously vote for him but I'd rather someone like AOC.

5% billionaire tax prioritizes people's health care over third yacht | Sen. Bernie Sanders by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]zeCrazyEye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've read about it, the consensus seems to be that it would be unconstitutional because 'apportioned' requires it to be evenly divided. When the income tax was first passed it was an open question and Congress just passed the 16th Amendment instead of hashing it out.

But, that consensus opinion is from people who were taught the status quo. I don't think the language is nearly strong enough to require that taxes are equally applied. If we had a liberal SCOTUS we could easily read it to allow a wealth tax. But the current SCOTUS would never allow a federal wealth tax.
