> I am sad, but not just for the mother, also for the daughters. And not just because they longed for their mother’s love that never arrived, but they found themselves in this artificial moral system that forces them to account for who deserves what, and justifies the anger they now have to live with. As if the anger is a gain, rather than a burden.

> I wish her peace. And hope she discovers it’s a much better live with forgiveness and generosity, and no regard for who deserves what. It was thieves and thievery all along, and it still is.

I don't know if I agree with this take. The basic issue of the article is that the "artificial moral system" that's being imposed is essentially what's saying that they need to both take care of and forgive their mother.

If you simply opt out of that moral system I'm not sure why they would be expected to take care of their unloving mother any more than they would take care of any stranger with dementia, but clearly taking care of their mother is the more "generous" choice.

So it seems to me like the anger is the result of a fundamental conflict within the author's values that can't be avoided simply by rejecting externally imposed morality.

I mean maybe he could have switched her to a different medication or something but saying "she's right" is a little weird when the doctor is saying he wouldn't have done something that literally killed her.

> BRIICS supported DOGE

Huh? Could you elaborate on this?

I think modifying the woman on the left to make her look thinner is probably worse than replacing the person on the right with an imaginary ai generated person

I'm not sure anyone has even used server side image maps since css was invented anyway

Supporting allies like this by supplying weapons is is one of the main ways the us projects military strength abroad and the situation with Israel shows how that can actually be counterproductive by escalating hostilities.

If you don't want the us to waste money on that you probably actually shouldn't want the us to engage in "imperialism" at all.

It seems like lots of newer books can't be viewed on cloud reader now anyway

> Waste of time to get these alerts for a movie that has no historical accuracy or value.

The odyssey itself wasn't trying to be historically accurate; it's basically fantasy. Why would you expect that a movie adaptation would be historically accurate?

I think that's an ad that appears at the bottom of most of the articles on "cnbc make it" so I'm not the specific article is shilling it per se.

I don't think that's necessarily true as a general statement. There are also lots of knockoffs where they clearly aren't actually the exact same product because they're obviously slightly different in a way that shows it wasn't produced with the same dies/molds. I own several knockoffs like that (which I bought intentionally knowing they were a knockoff but the knockoff had good reviews and it wasn't worth spending extra for the original).

Occasionally there are even knockoffs that improve on the original product in some way, although usually they are just nearly as good at a much lower price.

Also one very common subtype of the first option nowadays is that some company is just buying the exact same product from alibaba that you could buy from a random company on amazon or aliexpress, marking it up, and spending a few bucks on an internet presence and advertising to try to seem like a more legit company but doesn't really offer any more support or warranty than the brands that seem like a random combination of letters.

Whereas if it's costco it will at least be easy to get your money back if it dies in six months.

> Health insurance stopped being insurance when the government forced them to cover everything. You are paying for risks that will never apply to you.

The pooling of risks is literally what makes it insurance. If any part of health insurance is arguably not actually insurance it's the annual preventative care that is certain to apply to you.

He's talking about the marginal cost of distributing a copy of software which has already been created, which is completely different from LLMs reducing the cost of creating new software.
