I tillegg er det ikke nødvendigvis sant at halvparten er under gjennomsnittet. Det kommer helt an på fordelingen av disse tallene på folk etter én tilfeldig rangering man ikke kan sette. I inntektsfordelinger er snitter høyere enn medianen fordi det er et fåtall som tjener veldig mye trekker opp.

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

Google search for “all you can eat buffet near me” Al Overview To find an all-you-can-eat buffet near you, you can use online search engines like Google or Yelp, specifying "all you can eat buffet near me". These searches will typically provide a list of nearby restaurants offering buffet-style dining, including their addresses, contact information, and customer reviews. You can also refine your

The singularity is awesome

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Please pardon my language, but what the fuck (at the headline, not the OP)?

Cyrus II, the founder of the Achaemenids (the first Persian Empire) gets *really good* press in Jewish scripture, because he allowed the exiles to return and rebuild the temple; they benefited from Achaemenid tolerance.

Fortunate Son! An anti-war song about rich kids dodging military service!

The Netanyahu government is entirely focused on the tactically realistic goal of destroying Israel's adversaries yet has no coherent strategic vision for what happens next after the Israeli military has shattered entire states and societies

No.

Congress’s bill “would RAISE taxes for low-income Americans (Those making $30k or less). Every other income group would see LOWER taxes. The biggest savings would go to people in the $500k to $1 million income group.”

NRK: Thunberg på vei hjem: Nektet å se Israels «skrekk­­film» om Hamas-angrepet

JP: Educating the activists on October 7 Israeli authorities screened footage of Hamas's October 7 atrocities to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and other pro-Palestinian flotilla participants upon their arrival in Ashdod on Monday, shortly after the IDF intercepted their ship, the Madleen, in international waters. According to Defense Minister Israel Katz, the activists refused to continue watching the film after seeing the brutality of the attacks. "These antisemitic flotilla activists closed their eyes to the truth and once again proved they prefer the murderers over the victims,” Katz said. “They continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, the elderly, and children.”

Når NRK (etter visse målestokker) fungerer som _mer_ ufiltrert mikrofonstativ for den israelske regjeringens narrativ om hvor slemme og fæle Greta Thunberg & co er, enn hva Jerusalem Post gjør, bør det kanskje ringe en bjelle eller to.

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

Weed found at workplace that DOGE had occupied.

I will say it again: maybe the government should not be run by sociopaths who are high on drugs.

Disse eksperimentene drømmer økonomene om (+) Kan 100.000 nordmenn få borgerlønn? Jens Stoltenberg har åpnet døren for å eksperimentere med skatten. DN utvidet høringen.

Denne er jo litt morsom.

Det Diesen og andre av Kremls propagandister elegant unngår å snakke om er hvordan Russland har forsøkt å kontrollere Ukraina siden seinest tidlig på 2000-tallet.

De har forsøkt mange strategier, krig var siste utvei da det viste seg at Ukraina ikke ville underkaste seg som satellittstat.

The Attack on International Students New surveillance and punishment systems are a warning to us all

Even if Trump/Rubio rolls back the visa pauses (as they did for many of visa cancellations) they are creating a hostile environment where American higher education looks like a very unsafe bet for international students.
Other countries will benefit instead.

Rubio Reportedly Pauses New International Student Visa Interviews More than 1.1 million international students were enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities in the 2023-2024 school year.

The US Administration has indefinitely blocked *all* student visa applicants from getting a visa interview.

Worldwide, unconditional, no end date. All.

International students are crucial to the US university system, American innovation, and future US prosperity.

Stat og kommune burde teste mye mer i Norge.
Vi burde gjøre langt flere forsøk, finne ut av om det funker eller ei, og bruke det til å styre samfunnet.
I dag er det et problem at vi skal være for sikre før vi iverksetter noe. Og vi har altfor lett å kritisere forsøk som går feil.
