How exactly do you expect them to do that when we didn’t give them any power?

That’s essentially what Peter Thiel and his ilk that believe in the technological singularity are doing.

I wouldn’t rush to defend these products. Pet medications are regulated by the FDA. However, topical flea treatments were regulated by the EPA until very recently because it was assumed they didn’t enter the bloodstream.

No, but it is something I’ve heard actual shit-infested milk drinkers say to defend their practice.

Nah, it’s that saying things that actual morons think isn’t funny. It used to be funny when it was considered so ridiculous that no one would realistically believe it, but we don’t live in those times any more.

Don’t forget CRISPR-Cas9 allowing reliable and precise gene editing in living organisms.

It still amazes me they took the worst feature from Humankind and somehow made it worse.

I’m pretty sure it’s the job of the jury to decide that.

Maybe that’ll be the new name for the Miami Dolphins.

Lutnick’s company has been literally buying up claims to these tariff refunds for pennies on the dollar.

I tried Kagi for a few months. I cancelled after trying to search for some scientific topics and getting nothing but right wing bullshit. As much as Google sucks, it’s unfortunately still better than the alternatives.

Aden in Yemen has been a major port for the trade route to India since at least the time of the ancient Greeks.

PLA is not one of those. It’s used in biodegradable implants. Even fairly large bone screws will dissolve within a couple years.

TNG didn’t have cohesive arcs and had its fair share of recycled plots. Are you going to argue it was also bad? Also, it’s a prequel. The entire point of the show is to revisit things but do it through the lens of an earlier and more inexperienced version of humanity.

Season 4 was when the writing improved and started feeling more Star Treky. Yes, there were terrible episodes, especially the series finale, but the average was substantially better. They finally started introducing the early Federation species and working to show how the Federation would form. The Andorian episodes in particular were great. There could have been a lot of great storylines about the Federation learning to work together or how relations with the Klingons and Romulans went south.

Even North Korea pretends to have elections. The dividing line between dictatorship and democracy is if the elections are free and fair.

That’s also how the real world works. Trump is often quite good at identifying real problems with society, but all of his “solutions” are some combination of evil, stupid and/or insane.

Just because someone is good at criticizing doesn’t mean they have good intentions or the wherewithal to architect a better society.

Idk, that seems about right for most of the developers I’ve known professionally.

Anyone who paid attention to the polling knew it was unlikely but not impossible. 538 had him at a 30% to win.

I get it, but scientists don’t come up with common names. The name scientists came up with for them is Opiliones.

$229? Fuck me, you’re not kidding. That’s over half way to owning a Steam deck.
