He literally bullied a non-profit organisation set in the world to use advertisement money responsible into ceasing operations.

Loss for the world once again, and the article even says that Republicans celebrated. That country is sick.

I agree with you, but people need to stop looking at the economy as a "free market".

Almost every single government are putting restraints on one product or another.

Yes, we want to support domestic construction. We need competition, and we don't need to ship goods across the world as much as we do.

But the market is not free. And that's a good thing.

I think there's a big difference in writing books as in literature, and writing school books with the purpose of passing on knowledge.

For me, knowledge is 100% fine to pirate, while literature is okay, but buy the ones that you liked to support the writer. Just like games/movies.

I didn't say other forms don't work.

I'm just saying a government works very well other places and in smaller countries. Especially in the nordic Europe, where ironically has a bigger government than most countries, and are better off.

You need to go outside your borders, if you think a government can't work.

Fair point now, but it's most likely that in 50 years, you wouldn't trust a human to do the work.

Not really the point, because this case would go to supreme court if they didn't like the ruling.

The US has no term limit for supreme judges. They are literally mini dictators.

Central heating systems are still pretty local. Maybe some states could do it?

So there's a solution for the pollution already working in Denmark.

All data centers in Denmark needs to be hooked up to the central heating system. That means that all data centers are required to use all their heat from the data center to heat up the water for households.

As you can imagine, there's less fossil fuel burned because you now get the heat from this.

I have no idea if this would work in the US, because it means to actually regulate something.

That's an even worse 'use case' than I could imagine.

HR should be one of the most protected fields against AI, because you actually need a human resource.

And "prompt engineer" is so stupid. The "job" is only necessary because the AI doesn't understand what you want to do well enough. The only productive guy you could hire would be a programmer or something, that could actually tinker with the AI.

Great news!

But honestly, when something is voted down, there should be a cooldown period, where you couldn't vote for it again.

It both stops these people making a new bill every year, and at the same time, actually have the people writing the bill doing a good job.
