The “skill” of career politicians is mostly loyalty and appointing people based on loyalty is the worst criteria.

The actually didn't. The Russians (GRU) hacked Kushner and an agent within the GRU handed over the data.

If they are open sourced, it means any random data center could host it domestically and AI becomes a utility.

I see potential in the circus industry.

Using Brode's equation a rupture can release 52MJ of energy or 12kg of TNT. An high explosive tank shell only has 11MJ of explosive energy.

When I grew up anything with 5 seats was a family car. Kids have short legs. They will do just fine.

This and the current Twingo are made to be affordable. No reason why a cheap car can't look good. Making it ugly won't make it cheaper. These cares were modelled after economic cars that never had expensive design elements anyway.

Places that used to hit 32C max are now hitting 37C consistently. How is that not catastrophic? It is literally unbearable to be outside.

Lol, 100% of the people I know have not returned and are not planning.

I remember that during the Wagner rebellion there was a 24h-48h time frame of no Russian bot activities. Was kinda surreal.

Would you go to war against them?

The US is a colony of Israel.

Decision making is risk management, and is often simpler than making predictions. You need to think in terms of utility functions and you need to stay far away from the catastrophic regions. You often don't need super accurate predictions for that.

One example is pandemics. The thing is pandemics are extremely fat tailed in terms of fatalities. You need a lot of data to fit any outbreak model and no one has time for that. But the reaction to diseases out breaks is very simple. Is it super deadly and contagious? If yes, shut everything down! This is essentially what Asian countries like Vietnam and Taiwan did during Covid and they handled it way better than the West. I remember arguing about outbreak models, which is a completely useless activity.

There is the Fiat Topolino if you are ok with a pure city car.
