He held it in front of recently naturalized immigrants. One line I’ll paraphrase I found interesting when he referred to them: they didn’t see themselves not just as New Yorkers, but American too, just like he did some 10 years ago.
This tells immigrants in New York that they may not be American (yet), but they are New Yorkers. Very beautiful notion.
You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?
Hasn’t hurt Linus either.
If there’s something I learned in the industry is how to test (and I don’t just mean some unit tests) and how to write APIs with back compatibility in mind.
Not saying proprietary software is necessarily better, but working in a big organization that guarantees functionality to its customers, does teach you to coordinate releases better than most solo projects probably will.
Sure, with Big Tech losing sight of customer needs and going a lot more fascist in recent years I hate working for an American tech company and it’s weird to be a tech enthusiast. Money is great though and I can sleep well at night knowing my product barely has any customers to ruin their lives of.
Still: I’d love to have a positive impact on the world with my skills, but the job market is shit and my immediate environment doesn’t care as much despite noticing the hostility towards users.
The “military power” reputation took a huge hit this year too. Really? That bs is why they forego all these benefits for their people?
You’d need 5 Earths for the global population to live like Americans and they are squarly behind everyone else on historic and per capita emissions. Swapping to EVs is a drop in the bucket. That’s what I mean with quasi denier behavior. It’s only done when it’s economically lucrative already.
Trump is a fascist and uses carbon emissions something like a badge of honor. They are not the same, but Biden wasn’t good enough by a long shot.
The people not denying it also don’t do anything about it. Most politicians and their constituency aren’t conspiracy theorists and most governments aren’t hard right but they still “can’t” tax or ban problematic business practices and individual behaviors. “Because of the economy.”
The rhetoric might be good, distinct and important, but the actions are almost the same as what you’d expect from deniers.
Perfect microcosm of this administration.
Swiss neutrality doesn’t mean they can’t be part of an economic or even political organization. Switzerland is part of the UN, various economic unions, treaties and organizations, European human rights council etc. NATO would be more of an issue, but becoming an EU member isn’t conflicting with neutrality. There are other issues regarding sovereignty and our direct democracy and probably a couple more if joining the EU ever becomes a serious topic, but neutrality isn’t a problem.
She must be a very unhappy woman.
The difference is that none of the charges are commonly associated with terrorism. The judge had to invent a “terrorism connection” in addition to the normal charges.
Yeah, “fight” is not the best word. We have to start building more resilient systems now that survive crisis better than monopolistic oligarchies. I love finding ideas for this in frameworks following Solarpunk values. It’s not perfect, but I rather help building towards a hopeful utopian future with some flaws than the dystopia we seem to race towards.
I’ll frame your comment and hang it om my wall.
We need to fight against a cyberpunk future no matter what.
The reporter’s questions weren’t even so antagonistic. [REDACTED] basically got himself into some irrational rage and quit at some point getting himself too emotional. I don’t wanna see him talking to an actual enemy…
I’m not so sure. The AI hate in the general population is real. The fact that all these companies immediately claimed to replace all human labor within months, made them the enemy of the people, regardless how false these predictions were.
Banks are not liked either, but they are not hated in the same way. At least in the general public a mortgage seems to be the responsibility of both parties. “So the banks speculated, we still need houses and mortgages.”
I’m not so sure you can explain away the AI bubble that easily. Occupy Wallstreet will be a small affair in comparison.
Saying “both are the same” isn’t correct in most cases, but when it comes to class war, both parties are generally captured by capital to a similar degree.
I had no idea there were so many methods
