What those policy makers know that death of a baby is a tragedy but 50K is stats, difference between 50K and 55K is nuance.

International migration doubled in the last 30 years, mostly due to political instabilities created, rather than climate change.

A visitor should ring the bell and come in by the door. An uninvited visitor entering through window is something else. A visitor must respect the home rules. Hurting an invited and respectful visitor is incivility.

Too much identity politics here and too much stereotypes in minds. Not much discussion about qualifications of the candidates.

As an observation; people packed in offices, working for long hours, under workplace stress, feeling helpless against unattainable goals, do more often have affairs with team members, who understand them better than their legal partners. If workplace is far from home, odds are much higher.

It's best to consume less sugar. And it's healthier to consume cane sugar.

In addition to security and public infrastructure; universal healthcare and free education are natural rights of citizens against the tax they pay. It's quite surprising that the United States stands out as the only developed nation without universal healthcare, relying heavily on private insurance.

In 1945, life expectancy in US was 65. It's 79 in 2020. Post-war generation doesn't want to leave the throne, when it's actually their childrens' turn.

This is something new that came with social media; I would call this open source diplomacy. Probably these were happening behind the doors in the past; now people don't have to wait for 25 years to learn the truth from classified documents. Everything is transparent.

It seems that this wasn't planned. They are trying to justify it.

Mainstream / pre-internet media are for elderly or lazy audience; they do this, because it works, very efficiently.

The positive side of the news: after 3 nuclear sites are gone as confirmed by US, Israel and Iran; there is no excuse left to go on with a regional war.

Practically, he can compile a corpus from selected sources and train a model that will satisfy his expectations. And that's a question mark about LLMs.

I don't think he wanted this war. From his point of view, the victory would be winning without a fight; but he failed. And the dilemma he faced was successfully exploited by Netanyahu to drag US into war; by Israel's unprovoked attack to Iran and then playing victim. That's my guess.

Bluesky is better, but it has to attract more traffic from people of different perspectives, for sure.

Most might see this as a conspiracy today; but at some point, China will 'walk' to eastern Mediterranean coast, to get to orange trees; through the way 'paved' by United States, intentionally or unintentionally, but consistently with ignorance.
