Couldn’t go to Northern Ireland but could go walk around the world. Yeah, right.

There’s nothing that would make me not see my son short of imprisonment. If he wanted to be around his kid he would be.

Not really. He has never had any real legislative power to back him. The biggest scandal surrounding his party was paying off congressmen and heads of parties in order for them to vote for welfare policies. These policies never would've been voted in if that was not the case. A lot of parties gatekeep votes for important legislation until they get handouts.

Ironically (or not at all) the man who individually received the most money from that scheme is the head of Flavio Bolsonaro's party, and the party who received the most payoff as a whole was Jair Bolsonaro's party at the time.

Politics in Brazil require a great deal of consensus, obscure dealmaking and corruption.

Voting is mandatory but people aren't dragged to the polls. If they don't vote they get a small fine, the repercussions are tiny. So participation is still an issue, there were about 30 million people who didn't vote in the runoff, against 33 million in the first round.

3 terms. Lula left in 2010, came back in 2022.

Can you give some ideas of what you use it for? I'm amenable to the idea of automating some things I just don't know what I'm missing. Or using it for things I never thought of before.

Yes, Unabomber was a total psychopath. Thoreau and Emerson never killed anyone.

I don't know what people expect. Fully vibe coded projects will have fully vibe coded websites, isn't that obvious?

Layers is for organization.

You can always have different files for different things but without @layers you'll bump into specificity issues. You'd also have to arrange your imports correctly or you spend countless hours on "why is this style being applied and not that one?".

It's what makes modular CSS (with cascade) actually possible.

From an employment perspective those are irrelevant industries. Number of actors and professional athletes that can earn a good living while doing it is in the low thousands, and even then it may be for a couple of years only.

That's only for an extremely small set of professions, for most people their parent's professions were not lucrative by the time they grew up.

My dad was in a lucrative and booming industry: the printing press during the digital transformation. By the time I got to college it was a dying industry. I was in a lucrative and booming industry: programming during the 2000s. By the time my son is in college it might be dying too.

What you're talking about is mostly about timeless industries like health care, some types of engineering, finance, etc.

But all things aren't equal. Love is not a formula to see how one can improve their social status.

There are people who see it that way, who marry for money and clout. We call them the unhappy ones.

I can name quite a few in South America alone. Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, etc.

"Accepting" is different from "tolerating with a few instances of hate crimes and likelihood of incarceration". You have to include non-white people in the acceptance criteria.

Tesla did it to themselves. They have a long history of claiming stuff and never actually delivering. Or delivering a washed down version that never makes commercial difference.

Imagine how many wasted hours in peer review these AI math papers will cause for the 1% chance of reaching a transformative idea.

It's the other way around: they can't fly because they only lived in Mauritius. Its closest living relative can fly and colonized a good chunk of the world.
