Interested in programming, politics (especially local politics), law (especially copyright/patent law).
Nazi’s and genocide deniers can fuck right off. For the love of all that isn’t evil stop using lemmy and providing genocide deniers power.
On what basis would it?
Surely the government is allowed to teach what courses are run in government run schools by government employees in general. I mean, someone has to, and who else would it be?
Or if you’re referring to the religion aspect of the first amendment… this seems religiously neutral?
The constitution doesn’t ban bad governance, just some particularly easy to enumerate forms of it.
Olive oil?
You wouldn’t live long, but compared to the other options you’re listing…
This is just completely untrue. Musk founded SpaceX from nothing, there was no prior entity he acquired or invested in.

There are lots of legitimate reasons to dislike Musk, there’s really no need to make up lies about him to justify having an extremely low opinion of him.
Not who you asked, but:
The reasonable countries in NATO have been burnt before by letting in countries with a long record of having reasonable governments, and Ukraine has had one for only a decade. They probably aren’t that keen to be burnt again.
The unreasonable countries are… unreasonable… interested in sucking up to the dictators of the world. They don’t do that by making NATO larger.
Meanwhile while NATO has a lot to offer Ukraine, Ukraine doesn’t have a whole lot to offer NATO (that isn’t already on offer by things like asking to join the EU). It’s not like Turkey where they control a critical piece of territory.
Yeah, I don’t know what Colorado’s laws are on this in general, but even if it’s technically legal it seems like a huge risk that someone is going to plausibly allege that given the specific facts denying them time off was race/religion/family status/… discrimination. It might be legal (don’t know), but it’s a stupid policy for a number of reasons.

The entire paper is already sub-field (AI) in industry (software engineering) specific. No stats are perfect, but I think these ones are pretty damn good for something where peoples role are pretty poorly determined in the first place. Of course you’re welcome to try and find better ones.
The “pure tech” companies I’ve worked at have been roughly equivalent or better than these stats, but at that point I’m sampling from software engineers in general (not having worked at an AI specific company), and my sample is unlikely to be unbiased anyways.
Isn’t the fact that he’s repulsive sort of the whole complaint?
Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad… here are some stats
Satellites go beyond the moon, but not starlink satellites (or any future competing large mesh network of satellites), they are in in low orbit to minimize latency. I haven’t double checked with math or anything but I don’t think they should be high enough to be in sight of much more of the moon than the earth is.
Both “on the earth” and “on the moon” provide about the viewing angle of the sky (a semi-sphere). Unless we’re tracking an object with multiple of these spaced around the earth to get 24/7 recordings the moon doesn’t seem worse…
Even then, with two of these you could put them opposite eachother just barely into the “dark side” (side facing away from earth) of the moon and get nearly 360 degree coverage. You’d have to not literally be on the boundary/leave an earth sized gap in the coverage, but it would be pretty damn close.
Same as on twitter.
On reddit only reddit knew who you voted for (so long as your preferences were set so that votes weren’t public).
A single world spanning country.
If we don’t kill ourselves off first it will probably happen eventually. Country sized used to be limited by things like communication latency, and the time it took to move forces around. Technology has shrunk the world so that those things no longer matter. The natural size limit on a country is almost certainly as large as the earth now.
It won’t happen soon, cultures will take time to become similar enough to merge. Leadership structures take time to be absorbed into a greater one (EU style) or have to forcefully taken over (Chechnya style, thankfully very rare these days). But with no real impediment to countries growing larger, it will happen eventually. With no-one able to fund or support rebellion and modern technology making police actions extremely effective it may well last effectively forever.
Whether it’s a democratic utopia, a dictatorial nightmare, or something in between for the common citizen is not yet defined. Either way, war, as in peer to peer conflict between sovereigns, will be over.
And a public good. They keep things cooler when it’s really hot out, keep things warmer when it’s really cool out, mildly improve air quality, reduces noise pollution, provide measurable mental health benefits, and so on.
Around here removing big trees is illegal, on your property or not. I’m a fan.
Open soil instead of pavement also helps reduce flooding during heavy rainfall since the ground absorbs water instead of just making it run off to somewhere else.
I don’t know if it counts as a “city” per se, but there’s still a lot of defensive locations. Concrete apartment buildings can take a hell of a beating and stay standing apparently. Houses are damaged, but they’re still cover…
Shitty resolution, but here’s a recent video of it: https://old.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/14ac2lu/ukrainian_air_assault_forces_firing_at_russian/
Needs an “allegedly”, apart from being a questionable source in the first place (as a random social media account, nothing against the person running it), the source you quoted makes it clear that they aren’t confident in their own source.
Open signups aren’t novel on the fediverse, lots of places have them. The problem is having them without following up and banning problematic users… but yes I expect that if stricter instance-wide moderation doesn’t happen this instance will end up being defederated by most of the fediverse (with mastodon at least that seems to be the norm).
I’m hoping moderation has been been lacking because Ernest is just overwhelmed with the amount of load, and that it is fixed soon, if not I’ll end up moving on once admins start defederating it (probably to another kbin instance).
I don’t believe any kbin instances have been de-federated by beehaw…
The broad strokes are here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
In addition to the more important issues that fedi-tips discusses I find their stance on anti-vax and US-election conspiracy theories… unappealing, which you can see being discussed here: https://lemmy.ml/post/143057
And that they haven’t been shy about exerting their power for political purposes. The hardcoded slur-filter was explicitly about discouraging “right wingers” (I put that in quotes because I suspect their definition of right wing and mine differ), and they at least use to be open about their intentions to moderate the instances that they run as explicitly “left wing” (though I don’t see a reference to that on the current site).
Republicans have traditionally been the party of “regulation doesn’t work, elect me and I can prove it to you”.
Maybe Musk is just taking the logical counter-part to this “regulation doesn’t work, put me in charge of a heavily regulated company and I can prove it to you”.
