The author's proscriptions for the fertility crisis include

- permitting child labor (as long as it's in a local business)

- ending sex education

- denying student loans to women

- permitting hiring discrimination

Not sure how well such measures would fly with the general public.

This is not a left versus right issue. Maybe more of a NIMBY thing. Co-locating natural gas power plants along with the servers near residential neighborhoods has not helped. The stories of electricity rates rising because of data center demand also has not helped.

People are understandably concerned by changes that promise private profits and public risks.

The groundswell of opposition and anger amongst ordinary people runs more broadly than many in the tech industry understand.

Here is famed activist Erin Brockovich railing against data centers: https://youtu.be/XpQo1yQCP34

I don't know how solid her arguments are. But this is the sort of content that is helping inform the opposition that is brewing across America and abroad.

What packages have you found useful?

Successful Chinese industries tend to be subsidized at the level of cities and regions. This creates fierce intra national rivalry that forces rapid evolution and excellence. Electric vehicles are an example.

Anything the federal government pumps money into tends not to do as well.

DHH increasingly sounds like a much poorer Elon Musk.

Does something similar to RAC exist for other commercial databases like Microsoft SQL Server or IBM DB2?

This term is so eye rolling. Unless the FDE has legitimized pull within the core product team they are nothing more than a glorified field engineer/technical consultant.

Yup, we saw it happen after the George Floyd/BLM protests. An undeclared work to rule action.

Without antitrust enforcement, creative destruction works a lot more poorly than it should.

Jackson Mississippi has the highest per capita murder rate of any city in the United States. More than double that of Mexico.

When I see these GDP comparisons between Mississippi and Europe or Canada I have to ask does anyone honestly believe that life in Mississippi is better than in any of those other two places? Especially if you have any knowledge of Mississippi. If anything this example shows us the limitations of using this statistic.

ICE agents are arresting people when they show up for green card interviews.

Do you seriously think the bread and butter issues contributed nothing to his appeal? Palestine I'm sure is important but it's easy to dismiss affordability issues if they don't play a large part in your life.

It's part of a general retreat from the world on the part of the United States.

Unknown to you perhaps.

Telecoms received excessive returns on their investment. Effectively acting as rentiers for long distance calls.

"The Rentier Black Hole"

A theory of land, housing, and open-economy failure: how a non-reproducible asset absorbs global savings, breaks wage-price adjustment, and hollows out the productive economy.

I'm looking forward to AI summaries killing SEO farms.

Both sites are from the same guy.

Competences were always supposed to be supported by demonstrable knowledge and skills and behavior.

So I don't think it's true that relevant knowledge was deprioritized. At least it wasn't supposed to be.

I found Karrot to be a better experience than FB Marketplace.

All the attention is on AI but the real vulnerability is the dependency on email and office functionality provided by Microsoft 365 and Google workspace.

For the many European organizations that don't have the capacity to self-host, what is the sovereign alternative? Is NextCloud good enough? I believe external email accounts are still required.

None of it seems to be as simple as Microsoft 365 where a new hire can be onboarded from a single control plane for email, cloud storage, web meetings and office document functionality.

>Ansar Allah operates a caste system inside of it.

The rest of your reply is basically non sequiturs. For this part however I would sincerely be interested in seeing a source.

Characterizing the Houthis as a race cult is bizarre. They are a Zaydi Shia group which Iran has cultivated over the years. But they were around before that relationship and would not disappear if that relationship was severed.

Also it's dishonest not to include the actions of the Saudis and the UAE when discussing the Yemen conflict. As well as the sustained U.S targeting support in bombing the hell out of that country.

Israel put in a lot of work to induce Arab Jews to migrate. That includes false flag attacks on synagogues. Surprised you don't know this.

The brainwashing is strong with this one. Wars of aggression framed as defense. Ethnic cleansing framed as achieving self-determination.

A surveillance state is being built in America, one SaaS at a time.

A lot of people use LLMs to clean up their sloppy text. Not realizing how fake it makes them sound. non-native speakers lacking confidence in their English are a type of llm abuser. It doesn't necessarily make the content fake.

You need to assert dominance.

Kind of the same way people are proud of their kitchen. Most did not build it themselves.
