Inside the Ludicrous, Deadly Serious Plan to Take Over Greenland

17h 55m ago in europe@feddit.org from www.newyorker.com

Dangerous, it makes the USA an enemy to the entirety of the EU and all of NATO except the USA. Its not just stupid, its caused a permanent relationship change that has changed the EUs posture to defending itself from US aggression and to divest entirely. Nothing the USA does now will change that, this is happening and will continue to happen.

Why The Economist hates wealth taxes.

2d 4h ago in workreform from www.youtube.com

Wealth taxes aren't really about raising more funds for government, they will but its not the goal. The problem is the wealthy have all this excess money and they are driving up the price of everything, houses especially but other assets too and taking wealth away from the rest of society. The goal of wealth taxes is to try and slow that process down, no one yet is talking about reversing it but we really should be because the level of inequality is unsustainable.

The goal is just to remove wealth from those that have too much to restore function to the market, if we don't succeed immense poverty for most people will happen, a trend we are very rapidly accelerating down.

Its unlikely that we will, too many people want this and the elites have created a system that has disempowered people completely. You work around it, with VPNs and use other sites.

They have been finding that pretty annoying too, they are banning as much of that as they can currently get away with even if its completely ineffective.

Opensource AI Must Win

3d 19h ago in technology from opensourceaimustwin.com

I feel like there is a future of more targeted AI. At the moment something that does spreadsheets has to carry knowledge of programming and chemistry and lots of languages and this seems very heavy for what ultimately we need. A programming language focussed AT dedicated to Rust or Go or Java could potentially be quite a bit smaller especially if they focussed on algorithm snippet and auto complete smarts. There is definitely a market for smaller more targeted uses than these all encompassing chat bots where the goal is to move the state of the art on for existing algorithms.

That is sure to end this war and bring about lasting peace.

I have just let it grow organically. The front page is an index of various topics from personal things and particular games to household information. Then below that there might be just a page or an index to a bunch of pages often starting just as a list of links. I am often refactoring once a page has a bunch of sub headings of related topics but ultimately now needing multiple pages and replacing the original with the index to those pages. I don't think I could have designed an index system from the start without the content because I wouldn't have known what I was going to store.

Why there’s no legal “too hot to work” temperature in the UK

Realistically it needs to take account of the wet bulb temperature since the UK has quite a varied humidity and it also likely needs to account for exertion as well.

Globally, 1 in 3 cancer cases may never be diagnosed

18d 15h ago in science from hsph.harvard.edu

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that more than half of all diseases globally are never diagnosed correctly already in the world and that is getting worse. Cancer is one of the more commonly easily diagnosed diseases but that is because it shows up on an xray and especially MRI. But with much of the world not being able to afford imaging unfortunately a lot of people will die without treatment.

Looks a lot like the recent Nissan Leaf. Slightly less bulky front and the leak has a solid black area at the front for the lights, but other than that almost the same look to the car.
