This is how it works now, but who pays the department’s legal bill? Municipal tax payers. It’s zero accountability. Each cop should be insured like doctors and engineers. That’s the only way to make it work that isn’t just wasting taxpayer dollars.

LMFAO… Good cops get abused in the police force. They never last. Sometimes they get harassed for life because they tried to stand up for what’s right.

We haven’t even cut off Russia from international trade. Just a few Russian billionaires and specific military goods and oil exports.
An actual embargo would have ended the Ukraine war years ago.
What are the odds anyone will do something meaningful against the US? Almost non existent. No nation is willing to sacrifice the tiniest bit of comfort for the good of humanity.


That is literally the opposite definition to scalable. Scalable things don’t require twice the resources for twice the capacity.
Buy two instead of one is exactly the worst case scalability you can have.
95% of the world grid storage capacity is pumped storage hydro and batteries will literally never be able to compete because water is the cheapest energy storage medium we could possibly have at grid scale. North America was the world leader on PSH in the 1970-2000 but now China is eating our lunch and our governments no longer have the ability to start real infrastructure projects because of crony capitalism.
I can’t believe we’re watching China become the world leader in renewables while we pretend like batteries are a smart way of storing GWhs of power because that’s the most profitable solution to the private sector.


Grid scale batteries are only a solution for transients, if that. Actual energy storage needs to be scalable like pumped storage hydro which accounts for 95% of all storage capacity worldwide.


Yes, I also have a girlfriend, but you don’t know her, she lives in Canada.


These fucking conservatives crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches anytime the government does something heinous and use their piss poor understanding of EVERYTHING to try to justify the heinous actions. It happens every time, and I wish just once to see one of them use real and relevant facts, just so I can pretend that these people live in reality for just one second.
Hasn’t happened yet though.


This guy has no fucking idea how the law works. Destruction of evidence requires a primary crime, the one you’re destroying the evidence for. There is no crime, therefore no destruction of evidence. Only an incompetent or corrupt judge would let this even go to trial.


Not without a second impulse at the minimum. There are no stabilising forces like friction or drag in space.


Orbits are elipses, which are loops. So after the explosion gives an object more energy it’s in a new orbit right? That orbit has LOOP. Which means it has to come back to a similar point it’s at now. Therefore if an object passes through low orbit, no one explosion can make it be in a high orbit. At best it’ll be an ellipse with a point in high orbit and a point in low orbit.
Any amount in low orbit means a decaying orbit due to drag with eventual falling out of the sky.
If you get to the high orbit point and you get a SECOND explosion that’s perfectly timed you could theoretically enter a new high orbit that’s stable over the long term and contribute to Kessler syndrome.


Oh yes, in front of the security Council where the US will just veto the idea of punishing Israel for its crimes against humanity.
No, the only hope we have now to stop Israel is somehow Iran closing the straight until Israel stops invading Lebanon. What a horrible world we live in where Iran has somehow become a better force for good than the west, especially when they’re a heinous tyrannical regime.


Unless the chainsaw manufacturer explicitly said “surgery grade chainsaw, perfect for operations, better than a scalpel, surgery tool of the future”
Which is what medical AI companies say all the time. Sue the Dr, sue the hospital, but most of all sue medical AI companies until they’re bankrupt and banned forever.


I literally went onto the comments to post this exact comment about that exact paragraph. Love to see another enjoyer of side fumble prevention.


But China isn’t spending trillions on their AI…
Why do we need to spend trillions to stay ahead of someone who is only spending billions? Might be worth looking into whatever leak in the system is extracting so much money we need to spend 1000x what our competitors are spending just to keep up. We could start by looking at people who have hundreds of billions of dollars at the heads of the AI companies, looks like a few hundred billions might have slipped into their wallets by accident. I’m sure they’ll be happy to give it back to the people.


I work in transportation regulation. I understand your fear and frustration. What is happening with self driving cars is probably as stupid as you believe. However regulations are pretty reactive and in some ways good regulations should be. You can’t regulate what you don’t understand and you can’t understand what has never been done before.
The best approach is to start small and work directly with a regulator to create an initial trial and evolve the regulatory framework that ensures safety for the trial period. Then that framework can be used for future trials by other companies before being finessed into an official regulation. Then you have something which you know CAN be successfully implemented by companies AND does produce good safety outcomes.
Is that what’s happening? It probably was, initially. But as you said the public service is gutted and now corpos are having a wild west free run at this AI car thing. Good luck on the streets, we’re soon all gonna need it.


Israel is trying to figure out what victims snitched so they can kill them and their families. They’re not stupid enough to think they could win money, they just want discovery so they can teach those Palestinians a lesson for speaking to the media.


Very cool use case. Even though I hate it on the whole, I love to see what can be used from it like improving accessibility for neurodivergence.


3d printable IUD! Who’s first?


That’s a very interesting use case. Can you tell me more about it? Sometimes I write emails and then ask llms to “rewrite this like an nt”… But I never imagined using it in dating.
We actually don’t… We just see ******* only you can see it says hunter2
