Have you considered handguns as a factor?

Seems like you don’t know there’s a difference between handguns and hunting rifles.

In that case, I guess I’m not being idealistic, just reasonable.

What on earth are you trying to say?

If you are claiming that the FBI only investigates republicans for political reasons, you might want to read about Hilary Clinton’s run for the presidency in 2016.

If they aren’t, then they can’t claim to be acting in the best interests of the country.

It’s not better to force a default than to accept the status quo and wait until they are voted back into power.

So, you are actually claiming that the reason American police shoot more people than Canadian police is because Canadian police have college degrees and American police do not?

Even if your premises were correct, it wouldn’t be worth trying to debate that further.

Hint: They aren’t. Do some research on what percentage of US police have college degrees, and what percentage of Canadian police have college degrees. It isn’t what you think.

Also, you might want to look at the demographics of who police shoot in the US, and inform yourself of the differences between Canadian gun culture and the US.

It’s only the GOP who is cutting the FBI budget.

Oh, FBI budget will be boosted after White House comes to the discussion table.

Is the GOP bluffing about not raising the debt ceiling?

None of that matters if they are choosing not to protect out country against foreign attacks. You don’t get to blame other people for dereliction of duty.

Today the GOP led congress passed a bill to cut FBI funding.

Erm, your argument has nothing to do with college degrees at all. You’re just saying Canadian police shoot less people than American police, which nobody is disputing.

True, but it’s only idealistic because nobody is seriously talking about it. The two options seem to either be defund or militarize. If more people talk about sensible options regularly then they won’t seem like pipe dreams.

In any case the point here is that college degrees clearly don’t serve as great police training.

College degrees don’t seem to have done anything to make the police less abusive. Why waste money on them when we could instead give police better police training and resources?

I think the implication is that a college degree no longer represents progress.

European countries pursuing Chinese tech companies?

I did. You’re just wrong.

Warranties can be outsourced to third parties, or have insurance clauses to avoid such issues.

AI development should just shift to a domain where copyright isn’t regarded as a serious thing, such as China.

My guess is that it will be successful over a multi-year timeline like the Apple Watch.

Done well, a mixed reality headset is just too useful a tool. Imagine adding AI to it and you have something approximating a holodeck in terms of its usefulness.

That said, I can imagine myself waiting until V2. I tend to buy Apple products early, but only when I can see how they are going to make my life better. I’ll need to see this to be convinced.

In this situation the usual solution is for the new entrant to offer much better warranties etc.

Sure, but nobody is explaining why. I assume people simply don’t understand it properly.

A lot of people want to hear anti-American rhetoric, indeed there is money to be made in it.

This is clearly not an answer to the question: "Is there any writer who is positive about the promise of America that you would recommend instead?"

Are you one of the authors of redsails.org?

This is simply false, or at the very least outdated. Apps can definitely implement custom intents for Siri:

Why doesn’t the market just avoid the whole thing, which is toxic?

Thanks for the correction!

Good to know. I’ve been waiting for access but am happy to pay.

Are you saying that when you became a paid API user, you got access to gpt-4?
