So what you’re saying is, give the pro-Israel republicans a slight edge in the House. That’ll help Palestine.

No, I think you are confusing the two kinds of trusts: a revocable trust means you still own the money or property, an irrevocable trust means you don’t own it anymore. Either you “give it away” in an irrevocable trust (which can’t be “dissolved”), or you don’t give it away (in a revocable trust).

You are describing putting something in a revocable trust, which is not spending it or giving it away. It’s closer to just putting a label on it: “this money is for charity”. You don’t get a tax deduction unless you put the money in a irrevocable charitable trust or the charity actually receives the money (from any source, trust, whatever).

That’s giving the money away. Either you are still controlling the trusts, or you gave the money to the trusts.

This may shock and amaze you but…

there is more than one user for your product. If you don’t know that, it sounds like you either haven’t done a user survey or you haven’t created the correct user profiles (based on that survey).

Creating a “perfect UI” without asking users what they want is not good UX. It’s just masturbation. The user survey tells you that people want A B C, etc. and in which order. You should know exactly how your changes are going to be received when you release them.

Imagine a restaurant that doesn’t ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you “This is the best food possible” and just makes what they want. That’s what developing without a user survey is like.

They said AI would take you places. They never said they were places you wanted to go.

My friend, the screenshot has blue electricity and a picture of a nebula: two things that do not use quantum effects. This is most likely sensationalized.

Most likely no:

They’re not broke. Half of these countries are above $20K GDP per capita:

The problem with desalination is that it’s expensive and you can’t dump the salt anywhere. It creates a brine that kills fish. That would hurt the environment and the tourism industry.

Not only that, they get a ton of rain every year. They’re tropical islands. There’s enough water, they just need to collect it. Desalination is a technical solution when they really just need boring infrastructure.

It isn’t particularly hard to call this out. Just say “I haven’t done anything since Friday.” And leave it at that.

Be comfortable with silence.

PMs act that way because people above them ask for updates regularly. Bad PMs don’t know how to push back. If you need things done faster, the answer is usually “we need more resources”.

Tried to watch this to see what Obama “snapped” about. It’s just some YouTube show.

It looks like Obama said: “You can’t just talk, you have to listen.” That’s not “snapping” at anyone. It’s just a statement, and a pretty reasonable one for people interrupting him speaking.

I guess “Obama acts way too calmly for the situation” wasn’t a good enough title?

This doesn’t answer the question: what is the purpose behind adding the vulnerability? What specific things are vulnerable? What could it be used to do?

If you’re talking about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)

that’s a seminal work of avant guard art. You are still talking about it 100 years later. It’s obviously great art.

Art is a work of visual, auditory, or written media that makes you feel emotion. That’s it. Does this pile of rocks make you feel happy or sad or anything? Then it’s art.

AI makes pictures like a camera does. It doesn’t make it art unless you make something that evokes emotion.

creativity has been one of the first walls to fall

Uh, no? Unless you think unhinged nonsense without thought is “creative”. Right now, these programs are like asking a particularly talented insane person to draw something for you.

Creativity is not just creation. It’s creation with purpose. You can “create art” by breaking a vase. That doesn’t mean it’s good art.

at the point AI becomes self-improving

This is not a foregone conclusion. Machines have mostly always been stronger and faster than humans, because humans are generally pretty weak and slow. Our strength is adaptability.

As anyone with a computer knows, if one tiny thing goes wrong it messes up everything. They are not adaptable to change. Most jobs require people to be adaptable to tiny changes in their routine every day. That’s why you still can’t replace accountants with spreadsheets, even though they’ve existed in some form for 50 years.

It’s just a tool. If you don’t want to use it, that’s kinda weird. You aren’t just “debugging” things. You use it as a junior developer who can do basic things.

My friend, you need to get some exercise and some sleep. Those problems are all worse for most other jobs. That’s what I’m comparing it to.

If you’ve ever worked in a different industry you know that tech jobs are easier and pay better. That’s just a fact.

Software developers are so confusing. You have a physically easy job that pays well and makes people think you’re smart. That’s almost as good as it gets. “Capitalism” is shoveling investor money down your throats.

Software developers didn’t really exist in the USSR, but the computer scientists that did wanted to escape. Most software developers in the Third World now would love to get a huge First World salary. Recognize what you have.

Trump is not going to win. His name drives turnout, but most of it is against him.

But Europe should be able to defend itself. I read an article about the drone attack on the US base in Jordan recently. It said that when they found out that a few Americans had died, the Iranian militias in the area ran away from their bases.

That’s how afraid they are of a potential American response. Yesterday the Air Force sent two planes from the US to destroy several groups command centers and drone storage areas on the other side of the globe. And they sanctioned some Revolutionary Guard commanders and cyber attacked at the same time.

Imagine an enemy that is so powerful it lets you attack it, like you’re a child, because it would be unfair if it used all its power. That’s what fighting the US is like. Europe has the potential to be like that if it gets organized.

You took that from the page titled “Discovery (observation)”. Of course it says that discovery requires observation.

Here’s a more nuanced view:

Scientific discovery is the process or product of successful scientific inquiry. Objects of discovery can be things, events, processes, causes, and properties as well as theories and hypotheses and their features (their explanatory power, for example).

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-discovery/

So it can refer to either the thing itself or to the theory that explains it. Using your definition, theoretical scientists could never “discover” anything.

We say Einstein “discovered” general relativity, even though he was a theoretical physicist, and never physically observed anything first.

Was just going to say this. This will just shift money away from Chinese RE, probably into RE in the West.
