It’s a very different context if read as if you are on a ship.
Makes me wonder if you won’t see and Andrew Carnegie of this era step up and endow it against his fellow capitalist.

This is fascinating as I didn’t even know about it for one, and for two it’s based on having legal standing as a customer of the product, not the developer of the GPL code. I’ll be interested to see where this goes.
Tracking can and is done with both by 3rd parties.
Not the best link, but Schiphol airport as a public example.

I think the market is going to struggle with this for a while yet, in the mist of this brewing trade war.

As Ryan Broderick put it in his Garbage Day newsletter on Monday, “It’s possible that this is the most aligned America—well, aside from the folks in its highest tax brackets—has been about a news story since the invention of the internet.”
Want further proof? Look no further than the comments on Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro’s YouTube channel. On a video titled “The EVIL Revolutionary Left Cheers Murder!” the responses were swift and unequivocal: “FACT: Both left AND right are cheering! We don’t care about your feelings”; “I’m not buying this ‘left vs right’ shit anymore Ben, I want health care for my family”; “Just because ‘the left’ likes something doesn’t mean you have to instinctively hate it. Wake up and read the room bro.” Not exactly the kind of banter typically found in the comments section of a manosphere video.
They had their chance at the voting booth… Fighting the good fight is hard when people vote against their interest.
Not all care, but it still impacts them.
Beyond this, the diurnal cycle does filter down into the disphotic zone and does influence species. It does weaken with depth.
But the current rule also allows companies to leave out key details. For example, Exxon, Chevron and other firms including Transneft, a Russian state-owned company, are partners in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. CPC pays hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes and fines to Russian governmental authorities. These taxes help sustain the Russian economy, boost arms production and pay state officials’ salaries and pensions — thereby aiding the Russian war effort in Ukraine.
Addiction is a tough thing… Hard just to out it down.
2·3 months agoLook, yes avoidance is a valid behavior. We have it, we need it, and it’s useful at times, but like any behavior it can become a dependence. Wholly depending on an attitude of avoidance to deal with the outside world doesn’t build resilience. Desensitizing to the trauma and being able to face it, and act in spite of seems like a better goal.
It’s a screwed up depressing world and I empathize with the horror, disgust, disillusionment, disenfranchised nature of the world.
I struggle with it constantly, and maybe we should create a support group or a sub for this alone, as we need to find ways to cope with this, as it’s not going to get fixed in a vacuum. Yet we can’t fix it if we are overwhelmed and emotionally shutdown…
Not reading the news isn’t going to make the situation better or worse. I understand the sentiment, but don’t understand why saying it is useful. Hiding your head in the sand doesn’t mean your body won’t be harmed.
There are better ways to cope with the emotional onslaught of this change. Focusing on your community, finding new digital communities, learning to cope in general, finding validating ways to feel liberated… In other words actions. Small perhaps, but beyond this notion of burying our heads in the sand.
NBC Early and mail in so far. 11am EST Nov 1 has 65 million votes so far. The battle ground only view is reflecting the OP’s article for PA.
Actually apparently it’s the other way. Conservatives are less likely to answer polls. Pollsters have been trying to account for it, but polling has become a very dynamic challenge.
1·3 months agoThis is a decent video explaining some of the background on why polling got worse from business insider. Essentially it has more to do with conservatives being underreported (they don’t like talking to pollsters) then Gen Z, Millennials, or Gen Xs. Not saying that didn’t play a part, but Nate Silver has talked about this as well in his Silver Bulletin.
Not precise in my language, but I meant the same thing. It’s a 180 from current policy vs what Trump will do, but I was hoping it would be more tempered and less shocking. Still shocking, still absurd.
