- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 8 months ago:
That is more than a 10% loss of that customer base in 2 month.
For any industry that is huge.

Man what is it with people these days?
"Hi, nice to meet you. Honestly this is the first time i go on a blind date and i am a little nervous. Anyways, did you arrive well?

Well, they managed to find someone. So at least in their time and place they managed to do something right.

The US alone has a prison capacity of about 2 million people. It shouldn’t be too difficult to spread the suspects in prisons around the world. Maybe some people with non-violent offenses such as theft, drug possession or fraud would have to be released on suspended sentences a bit earlier to make space.
However Israel also has a quite large prison capacity. I would argue that the people who run places like Sde Teiman do not have their rights violated if they become inmates there themselves. After all they keep claiming that these facilities are not in violation of human rights.

Detained until it is established that they haven’t committed any crimes. Such is the normal procedure for suspects of murder and other serious crimes.
However there is also people who have refused service, so it is not strictly mandatory, but remains a choice.

I am saying that people who have committed or supported crimes need to be held responsible by law.
This has nothing to do with their religion or ethnicity. There is many Jews who want nothing to do with Israel or actively oppose its crimes. It is unfair, to lump them in with the genocidal criminals of the IDF and their supporters.

When this genocide is over, all Osrael supporter remain a danger to the world.
We will require an extensive Dezionification process, where the people are educated about the reality and faced with the horrors they commited and supported. In the meantime they must be kept away from any weapons or dangerous materials, must be kept away from amy position of responsibility or powet and must be kept away from any children and teenagers.
Furthermore we need a comprehensive process that identifies all settlers and IDF members and jails them until it is know which violent crimes they have committed and have been prosecuted properly if they have done so.

Is that aspect taught in school properly?
Because i mostly remember the teachers telling me to shut up (at best) if i questioned the veracity of what they were teaching. I also got thrown out of math class for saying the method of the teacher is more complicated than what is needed.
Exams are designed so that you regurgitate mostly what you have been told. Maybe you get lucky to have a good teacher in the humanities who is open to individual thoughts and teaches how to think about things critically. Most of the time it is “here is the official and only correct interpretation of event X, place Y, article Z…”
School for the largest part leaves no space to teach about ambiguity and evolving knowledge. Even if the curriculum allows for it, the class size usually doesn’t.
Which brings me back to my thesis. People criticizing the changed status of Pluto are feeling betrayed by school.

Well, someone said this was knowledge important to have in general education, so people learned it in school.
Now people are told what they learned in school is either wrong, or not important, so they shouldn’t concern themselves with it.
This raises some important implications about education and its purposes and the role of schooling in manufacturing consent in Democracies, the question of how much an individual should trust the state and so on.
If you cannot express or understand these properly or if they contradict other core ideological believes of you, ending up with arguing about Pluto rather than these issues, is normal.

On that level you often only have two, one or sometimes no candidate.
There is no need to enforce a more complicated system that needs to be explained to everyone, risks more people accidentally voting different than they wanted or invalidating their vote by misunderstanding the rules.
I have helped with elections in Germany where the parliament has two votes. One for the local candidate FPTP and one for a party, where the parties proportional rates are then assembled in the parliament. I had to explain people the votes and what they do all the time. Because the two votes are on one paper it is a mess to count, as you can’t just stack them easily because of the possible combinations.
When it gets to state and national levels having proportional systems for parliaments and ranked choice for single candidates i am all for it. But there is no point in pushing for a more complicated system for smaller elections.

FPTP is fine in many small scale applications. How should a town of 5,000 people elect their mayor otherwise?
- Comment on ‘It’s real y’all’: People are sharing their tariff receipts, and my wallet is not ready for what’s coming 1 year ago:
Depending on how much money you throw at it and how much support you get by the government in dealing with regulatory processes, moving existing complex plants could take 2-5 years. Add another 1-2 years if you start from scratch. However when starting from scratch you have to do the same in other places too, so the relative time loss gets smaller.
Fact is some megacorporations already announced that they want to invest into manufacturing in the US because of tariffs. It will not offset the broader impact but help Trump sell his tariffs as a success.

Focus on the worst offenders and create pressure to stop them from being complicit in such crimes.
See bdsmovement.net/…/bds-guide-strategic-campaigning… for the way to do targeted boycotts and their impact.

Much worse? I don’t think we are at the point to tell yet. The problem is also that the US has always acted in the way of a Fascist empire to the outside, which many US-Americans chose to be ignorant about. The US has murdered millions of people in Vietnam and surrounding countries, at least a million in Iraq and hundreds of thousands if not up to a million or two in South America since the 1950s. The US has fully supported the genocide and ethnic cleansing against millions of Palestinians under a “Democratic” president and people kept justifying to support him by arguing that a slow genocide is acceptable.
So the US started from a point that was worse than 1920 Germany, but only time will tell if the end point will be as bad as 1945 Germany.

You overestimate how high political activity relates to overall awareness. It is always a minority of people that lead the activities and the change. Even revolutions don’t happen through majorities. They happen through active minorities, when the majority becomes indecisive about sticking with the old or new system.

Seriously. Trump is not some random disease that came out of nowhere. He is a symptom of a system that is fundamentally and severely ill and whose past power holders and power brokers have been reinforcing the system to become like this.
Even if you get rid of Trump now. Unless the system is fundamentally changed, which included removing all current elites from power and permanently barring them from it, another guy like Trump or maybe even worse will come to power.
Why could Trump sweep back in for a second presidency after four years of DNC rule? Because the DNC was ultimately happy with where Trump lead the country and they were happy to continue many of his policies, rather than giving Fascism the boot.
