Complex systems have more unintended behaviors and failure modes, and interventions create new problems you didn’t anticipate. This is literally the Law of unintended consequences, and the more detailed you make the law, the harder it is to update to correct, current or actual circumstances.
Tim Berners-Lee thought pages would become machine-readable long ago, with "obvious" benefits, and that idea partly drove XML, RDF and HTML 5. Now the benefit of doing so seems even bigger (but are they?), and the time spent making existing documents AI readable seems to keep growing.
10 mg a day, down from 20 but that made me feel wired, like I ate a bunch of 9V batteries for breakfast. Big pupils, trouble sleeping, manic thoughts, the works.
Thanks. Ever try Saffron extract standardized to crocin content (typically 2-3% crocin, dosed at 20-30 mg/day)?
One meta-analysis showed an antidepressant effect size around 1.2-1.6 , and unlike pharmaceutical antidepressants, saffron with standardized crocin has no well-documented or commonly reported withdrawal syndrome in clinical studies or reviews.
Though they've been seen and photographed in action locally, it's unclear how many are active, how many on standby, what plans are. So "deployed" is not that useful of a designation.
Cover of today's StarTribune (Greenland article at bottom), from the top down:
• Our community is in crisis
• Rumors, anxiety spread beyond the Twin Cities
• Citizens sue, seek ruling to rein in agents' tactics
• DHS' Minnesota presence dwarfs largest metro police forces
• Review: No widespread illegal voting by migrants
• Trump cheers protesters in Iran, but not Minnesota
"I have never heard anyone express concern about what ICE is doing."
"heard" and "express concern" commonly do a lot of heavy lifting in anecdata:
• Include or exclude social media comments from friends?
• Only include people who have spoken to you directly?
• Speak often or infrequently to others?
• Include or exclude content that you have seen that you trust?
• Are part of a large/small circle of family/friends?
• Concern or only experience causing concern?
• General opinion or on specific available information?
• etc., etc.
Without being more specific, "heard" and "express concern" don't mean much, and with specific qualification, are easily manipulated.
I also live just outside of Minneapolis. I have white-appearance family members whose heritage traces literally back to the Mayflower that have been harrassed while working from home, and literally dozens of others expressing concern due to those in their circle being harassed, and many others expressing concern due to viewing media that they trust.
In thinking just now, it's hard to think of anyone not expressing concern, on "both sides", partly because I am hearing expressions on the topic from a tremendous number of persons.
It often seems that beginning advertising is not the first step on a slipperly slope. Not having a plan to avoid advertising is the first slipperly step.
This is due to having so many examples that not having advertising is the first step to having advertising, and that having advertising will be optimized for profit, and frustrate users.
I think the problem is that advertising is one of the few areas where you can scale revenue without the user’s permission. Once you start depending on it, there’s always pressure to beat last quarter’s numbers and it’s easy to tell yourself that users don’t care, and the heat if any arrives years later.
"Make any money" is not clear enough. Providers of input and purchasers of output have each become monopolies and have squeezed the profit out of smaller providers. They borrow to survive, government pays those that loaned the money, then the cycle continues. Farmer suicide has become a very popular way out of the cycle, which is one indicator that the money isn't really there any more.
Saskatchewan farmers have done very well since ~2000 or so. The 80's and 90's were very rough.
Yes, costs have skyrocketed -- combine harvesters start at about a million now. But wheat prices and yields have been high enough to more than compensate.
But Saskatchewan farmers are a great example of a low cost producer. A Saskatchewan farm usually runs about 10,000 acres per operator. UK farms with a couple hundred acres can't compete.
Last night a man was shot by ICE agents, who were (reportedly) attacked with shovel(s) while trying to capture the man, injuring one ICE agent.
BEFORE this began we had 7 million people protesting simultaneously nationwide—they are "out on the street". Minneapolis has organized hundreds into rapid response teams against ICE. The killings get more news than the protests, particularly as much of the media has been bought up by republican owners.
In Philadelphia, residents are being filmed patrolling with automatic weapons in advance of ICE supposedly heading there next. Read what @asa400, another local like myself, is saying in another comment to parent.
Many locals on social media are cheering on the shootings. America is incredibly polarized right now. It's not like all the public is against the government. Nearly half of those most likely to vote in past elections support this. “It wasn’t Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform....” —Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor EDIT: added "(reportedly)" and rearranged sentence
>Last night ICE agents were attacked with shovels, injuring one. A man was shot.
We don't know if the shovel thing is true, video has emerged that doesn't show the shooting but does show the victim's family's 911 call in which they claim the agent shot through the door at the fleeing victim.
You need to specify what you mean by "more than". Last night ICE agents were attacked with shovels, injuring one. A man was shot.
BEFORE this began we had 7 million people protesting simultaneously nationwide—they are "out on the street" as you put it. With protests around the country every day. Minneapolis has organized hundreds into rapid response teams against ICE. The killings get more news than the protests, particularly as much of the media has been bought up by republican owners. You seem to be missing the news, and saying it does not exist.
In Philadelphia, residents are being filmed patrolling with automatic weapons in advance of ICE supposedly heading there next. Read what @asa400, another local like myself, is saying in another comment to parent.
