I've asked OpenAI repeatedly how it reconciles its rhetoric about the importance of democracy, democratic values, democratization, democratic rails etc w/ its close partnership w the UAE, an authoritarian monarchy. No answer. If you're an OpenAI employee, would love to discuss.

We just need to explain marginal tax rates and that crime is actually falling and we’ll turn this damn planet around

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.

How long can the companies facilitating the genocide go before they admit they were wrong? Maybe forever? Maybe in a few decades if they're still around they'll issue an apology statement. That seems like what I remember happening for previous atrocities

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Big Tech companies are defense contractors and specifically genocide profiteers. They knowingly participate in crimes against humanity and lie to the public and their employees.

Walking did not merely decline. It was deterred.

Cleveland, March 22, 1982: After unsuccessful requests for a traffic light and a fourth injury to a child crossing the street, residents organized a protest. ...

Its the cars. Where can they go that they don't have to interact with drivers? I biked for pleasure for most of my life and gave it up when my kids could start because city biking in Houston is insanely dangerous and I don't want them to do it. Everything they want to go to is way too far to walk

Even setting aside the moral issues here, I once again simply don't understand how writing a prompt for a text is less work than just writing the text

What the hell are you on about

Of the most import technologies of the 21st century, our government is actively opposed to at least 2 of the top 5

I think having a job located downtown again would fix me

Another illustration that NYTs default position is normalizing authoritarianism. Once you accept that NYT is a deeply facist and authoritarian the paper makes sense

I really, *really* recommend trying Week Without Driving if you have a car at home. It's very revealing! People with cars at home are using a much different transit and pedestrian system than people without them.

It might be inconvenient, it might be confusing, but it will be a good experience.

Lmfao

actually ok you know what nvm. the question is actually “why is this the first time a president’s been on the roof?” if i was president i’d be getting on the roof of anything GSA has keys for. c’mon. let me in.

This is a religion

This is the most relatable thing he's done, if I was president I'd wanna go have a look from the roof

Cost to Build a Parking Garage | Parking Lot Costs per Square Foot | Fixr The average cost to build a parking garage is about $9.75 million (150,000 sq.ft. multi-level parking garage above ground). Find here detailed information about build a parking garage costs.

That's a bargain! Parking garages are very expensive to build and sit empty most of the time. At these prices it'd probably take well over a decade before it ever broke even.

Opinion: It's Time to Retire The "Lack of Parking" Myth - Columbus Underground Let’s just say it: The “no parking” narrative about the Short North is tired.

👉 ‘When people say “there’s no parking,” what they often mean is: “I can’t park directly in front of the place I’m going.”’ 👈

Look, I'm a total idiot when it comes to coding, but I'll stand by my conviction that a mid-level bureaucrat who can keep a complex social safety net program in a massive country humming along has a greater claim to the title of "genius" than a prep school kid who made a marketable iPhone app at 19.

(I'm making big assumptions here like the reason High and Broad and Cleveland Ave all suck so bad is because of outside influence when the call is probably coming from inside the house)

Make all of High street a BRT you cowards. From 270 loop to 270 loop. Tell ODOT and USDOT to fuck off, we own all of our streets now. I would join a well regulated-Militia to defend our beautiful DPW workers and our right to our own streets from the tyranny of state and federal overreach

By the statistics they list: Inflation was 2.7%, and the price of groceries increased by 2.4%.

Eating out increased by 3.8%, which put the total increase in "food" price at 3.0%, but the headline seems to be equating fears of grocery prices with overall food prices and that feels dishonest

I made a programmable @caltrain.com bike tag using an e-ink display. It does not need a battery, drawing just enough power from the NFC antenna to refresh the display, and then requiring no power to maintain the screen afterwards. It’s perfect for occasional trips.

Would it be too aggressive to send another email with a link to this article like "following up on this, in light of the person who was killed around the corner from where many employees walk in the street to access the office, any update?"

Idk anything about stonks but is there a way to short this whole mess and get rich when it collapses

My girlfriend just wasted her time this morning interviewing with a company that only afterwards told her the salary, which is half of what she makes now. Can we get some laws like in New York that enforce pay transparency in the interview process? No? Just laws punishing the working class? Cool

New Ohio bill would create state registry of applicants who skip job interviews COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Some Ohio legislators are trying to make it more difficult to skip scheduled job interviews. House Bill 395 would create an online registry of applicants who don’t show up t…

"Rep. Brian Lorenz (R-Powell) said his constituents are seeing more and more people skip job interviews"

A corporation is not a constituent

"Lorenz said it’s the General Assembly’s responsibility to protect Ohio’s businesses."

Nice of the Ohio GOP to make it explicit who they work for

I think the sunglasses are supposed to go around the other way

Niemöller was asked by his concentration camp cellmate why he had ever supported Hitler and the Nazis. Reportedly, this is what he had to say for himself:
