Technology@lemmy.world•Under Trump, AI Scientists Are Told to Remove ‘Ideological Bias’ From Powerful ModelsEnglish

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish
8·1 year agoI’m inferring from the language of the post that OP is against this policy change, but I’m not sure I follow the argument. Why is it problematic that Plex is asking for money?

World News@lemmy.world•So bold are Putin’s ceasefire demands, it’s hard to believe he is entirely seriousEnglish
71·1 year agoThis shows that Trump is nothing more than a simp, not that Putin is any kind of master.

22·1 year agoThe fact that you were unaware of what they do has no bearing on the massive amount of work they actually accomplish.
No, the top tax rate is 37%.
With lottery prizes, the full amount is usually only available as annuity payments over 20-30 years. If you pick a lump sum, it’s typically only 40% of the full amount.
This winner chose the lump sum payment, so his lottery prize was about $600,000,000.

33·1 year agoI’ve already addressed that point.

54·1 year agoWith such a high majority it would have just been overturned immediately, so no, he couldn’t have vetoed the bill. An attempt to do so wouldn’t have helped at all and might have undermined future cooperation.

8·1 year agoNo, he doesn’t. This is Trump just hurling executive orders at things he doesn’t like.

162·1 year agoI clarified further. In the rail strike case, it was a senate bill, not an executive action. And the bill passed 80-15. Biden signed the bill, but that isn’t the same thing at all.

223·1 year agoThat’s incorrect, and these situations aren’t close to comparable.
When Biden was in power, eight out of twelve unions had already ratified the contract, and the senate passed a bill to force the final four to accept it. It passed 80-15, so Biden couldn’t have vetoed it if he wanted to.
Trump is attempting to ban unions altogether, by executive order.

World News@lemmy.world•Denmark's postal service to stop delivering lettersEnglish
421·1 year agoI agree with what you’re saying and also it feels worth pointing out how pervasive the rhetoric of profitability has become.
We don’t talk about the military running at a loss, or the department of transport, or any other part of the government. We talk about their cost, because that’s really what it is. Services don’t “lose” money, they cost money.

Illinois@midwest.social•Illinois governor pushing legislation allowing community colleges to offer bachelor degree programEnglish
5·1 year agoA ton of stuff. Community colleges are typically located with good commuter access, offer classes outside of normal business hours, have open admissions, and don’t have to subsidize large research departments or typically have to support the cost of onsite residential buildings.
I mean, it would also be good to see the cost of in-state tuition at state universities come down, but community colleges fill a different niche and the primary reason they didn’t offer bachelors before was lack of demand, but that has now changed.
