k but what about thousands of accounts on the internet about deaths that USAID would have prevented? enough to humble even Elon Musk? just ignoring the inconvenient fact?

Well, there are other mechanisms that can be used to "save lives"....many are in action and have been for decades. Many private ones. The problem with USAID was that it was funding TONS of money to useless causes, and many funneling for political purposes which should not happen.

Yes, somewhat throwing baby out with the bathwater, but no other way really.

And also....what makes the US the world's brothers' keeper? I mean, it's nice, its a good thing to do, BUT we could be better served making sure all US citizens are taken care of first before we go outside our borders for the most part.

Of course some exceptions, but not many I can think of.

you deny that ICE has killed innocents? that trump stopping USAID hasnt killed thousands? That wealthy self driving companies don't get a pass when they stop in front of an ambulance taking someone to a hospital? you live in a dream world.

I can only really think of one...that medical guy up north, an activist. He was pushing and getting physical with ICE...he was carrying concealed (legally)...and when one officer was pulling the guys weapon from it, a SIG I believe, it appears that pistol fired and all officers reacted thinking the medical guy had fired and they shot him.

That sig model has been known to have "spontaneous" fires....

I think that many mistakes were made here on part of ICE, but also, if the guy had not been getting physical with officers and even though legally carrying, if he had NOT been carrying to an event like this (common sense) he'd still be alive, but there should be trial on this.

Other than that, most of the others seem pretty justified to me...trying t run over officers in cars, either on purpose or while trying to escape, etc.

that trump stopping USAID hasnt killed thousands?

Nope...and even if some collateral damage....USAID was throwing money out to many organizations that were detrimental to our country. They also seemed to be funding through hoops...a lot of the leftists propaganda and orgs that we just do not need. That was a slush fund that needed to be stopped.

And, incidentally, the EU already has pretty reasonable regulation. Copy that.

From what I've heard the EU regulations also go a long way to preventing (at least eventually) the ability of private individuals from setting up their own hardware and running their own models and agents from home or private business, keeping their own data and not sharing data with the frontier companies.

From what I hear this is the path of regulation making it far to expensive and legally regulated for any individual to run their own hardware and open source models and agents.

I think they are also thinking ahead and want to keep individuals in the general public from running their own, independent off cloud private models and agents, where the individual is the one in control, not paying the frontier companies and keeping their data to themselves.

So nice to see you are open to new ideas, and conversations....

I mean, it's not really working great these days...so, maybe we start to think outside the box just a bit....for something that might work better.

La MIGA!

Flat taxes are regressive because the poor spend more of their money on necessities, unless you then issue corrections in which case there's no benefit to doing a flat tax because it doesn't save you any effort.

I"m getting so tired of this perineal complaint.....

So what?

Everyone needs to have skin in the game. The very very poor get EBT, so, there's their help...and if you wanted make food taxes a bit lower but other than that....have everyone have skin in the game and pay flat tax or fair tax or whatever you want to call it.

I ordered my anvil from Amazon.

sad it doesn't say ACME.

Well no, it's not just entertainment. News is in the deal also, specifically CBS and CNN.

Well if they even just brought CBS and CNN more towards center and away from left...that might even things up more....the left will still have NBC, ABC, MSNOW (or whatever they go by now) and most of the major news papers and other new sources.

A bit more balance would be nice.

I've seen enough videos of yahoos expressing their "rationale" for voting for Trump, that I wonder if AI and chatbot recommendations might be an improvement.

It was simple....better choice than cackling Kamala....

More evidence has been presented publicly that Trump fucked kids than was necessary to convict Cosby or Weinstein. There are more accusers, too.

Citations please?

Surely there are valid new stories about such by major networks, major news sources?

Interesting....I've never had a separate app like the mentioned yubikey or bitwarden....new to me too.

I rarely use or have to use the 2FA which is just generally a text message with a code....

You think that's baffling, what about all of the people who voted for Trump twice, after they already knew he fucks kids?

People keep repeating that nonsense about kids a Trump lately.....with no proof whatsoever .

I mean, where do you get that? There's no idicement or charges or any evidence anyone has brought forward.

If it were even remotely true....do you not think the Dems when in power under Biden would not have ensnared him with even charges on that?

Time-based One Time Password. You and the server have a copy of a shared secret. The secret combined with the current UTC time (in blocks of 30 seconds typically) is hashed to produce a 4 digit code that you enter as a second authentication factor. Without the secret, even knowing the current TOTP code isn't enough for you to predict future ones.

Thank you!!

I guess this hasn't made it to the US yet.....

Parents are fucking useless at protecting kids

Back a few decades ago, when the nuclear family was the norm, and was fully supported by society AND govt.....you had better parents and better child outcomes by far.....kids do better with a mother and a father to raise them.

I grew up in that era.....and my generation has faired quite well.....we also were able to give kids freedom to be kids, learn independence, etc....no such thing as helicopter parents.
