To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.
There is no inherent right that your opinions must be given a platform, or that any particular platform has the right to exist.
The first amendment is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether or not TikTok should be allowed to operate in the US.
Doctors with one border
You’re using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn’t support the war.
What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?
Nothing? It’s literally the primary source.
Did NYT support the war? Let’s look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.
Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns
Kamala: “He lost the election, and he’s clearly having a hard time processing that.”
I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny…
This summer, at Electrify America in Erie PA, I recently paid $0.35 / kWh. And at Electrify Canada in Hamilton ON, I paid $0.57 CAD / min, which is $0.23 CAD / kWh at 150 kW.
This is roughly on par with the cost of gasoline, per mile. I assume the margins are pretty thick for Electrify, because household electricity costs less than a third of that.
For example, say it costs $0.35 / kWh. At 3.5 miles / kWh, that’s $0.10 / mile.
For comparison, say gas costs $3.50 / gallon. At 30 miles / gallon, that’s $0.12 / mile.
Guaranteed not to die?
It’s certainly uncomfortable, but a million bucks for a weekend of laying in a box is a pretty good deal.
I’d be more worried about the dehydration and bodily functions than about being underground, assuming I am guaranteed to live.
The title makes it read like a state representative to my American eyes.
I don’t think anyone would call a city council member a “lawmaker” in the US. We don’t even call them “laws” at the city level; they’re called “ordinances”.
No no no. Sorry. We can’t let the children read about racism.
Sure.
Are black drivers disproportionately affected by problems in the ride share industry? Yes. Let’s fix that!
Again, no.
Equity is explicitly about need. Equality is irrespective of need. This is literally the definition I gave at the start of this discussion.
Obviously to enact equitable policies, you can’t handle things on a case-by-case basis, because that doesn’t scale. You have to find metrics that correlate with need. The only policies that scale are those that target cohorts rather than individuals.
In the example of school funding, reasonable cohorts can be derived from income level and relatedly (for historical reasons in the US) race.
In the case of ride-share safety for both riders and drivers, gender is a decent axis for defining cohorts.
Lol no.
Equity in this case is providing additional opportunities for education to those who need it.
There’s a lot to unpack here…
But mostly I suggest you learn about the difference in equity and equality.
Equality (what you are arguing for) is treating people the same.
Equity (what this feature promotes) is giving people what they need to be successful.
Equality aims to promote fairness, but it can only work if everyone starts from the same place and needs the same help. Equity appears unfair, but it actively moves everyone closer to success by “leveling the playing field.”
Equity involves trying to understand and give people what they need to enjoy full, successful lives. Equality, in contrast, aims to give everyone the same thing, which does not work to create a more equal society, only to preserve the status quo, in the presence of systemic inequalities.
Given that violent crime in the ride share industry is committed almost universally by men and disproportionately against women, this feature aims to provide equity to support more women as both riders and drivers.
The newest Chromecast with “Google TV” has a remote and runs Android TV.
I find the UX of a remote and an TV interface much better than casting things from my phone. But you can still cast with it, of course.
Fun Fact: Puffin chicks are called pufflings.
Another fun fact: Puffins are burrowing birds (“ground-nesting” birds). To protect the pufflings, momma puffins feed their young soo much that they get too fat to escape the burrow.
Final fun fact: Puffins are adorable.
ASML (Netherlands) and TSMC (Taiwan) may be the two most important companies in the global electronics supply chain.
China is certainly looking to bolster their own competition in this space. But that hasn’t happened yet. I’m sure the CCP is very concerned about this regulation. If they’re not, they should be.
But all those reposts on Reddit and Lemmy are still fair game…
Last month, Google, the third-largest cloud provider, started a pilot program where thousands of its employees are limited to using work computers that are not connected to the internet, according to CNBC.
That’s not even close to accurate reporting.
They removed internet access from engineers’ build machines, not from peoples’ workstations.
Builds at Google are reproducible and do not require external network access. See Bazel.
