That’s not how insurance works. They monitor average speed, acceleration, and braking, if anything. There’s no correlation between mouth movement and accidents. What if someone is chewing gum? What about adjusting dentures? What about drinking coffee while parked?
Show me an actuarial table that includes “mouth movement” as a variable or admit this is just a middle manager trying something stupid.
Not really. Especially when talking about physical pain.
You should not be in discomfort all the time. This is the kind of thinking that prevents people from going to the doctor. Pain isn’t normal.
Russia: Spends months trying to capture a random city 25 miles from their border. Ukrainian defenses were somehow “missing” (sabotage). Stalemate.
Ukraine: Spends days capturing a specific important natural gas objective. Russian defenses are also missing (lazy). Success.
The first surgeons worked on cadavers like Dr. Frankenstein. They were equally as reviled.
looking at the rent prices in/near Santa Monica…
You are thinking of walking to work? You’re going to be commuting like everyone else. That’s why everyone in LA is stuck in traffic. Or just work from home.
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.
You have to line up musket troops to give them orders too. There’s no radio and you have to shout over the noise and smoke.
Remember, these are black powder guns. They’re loud. If your troops are right next to each other you can more easily direct them to fire, advance, or retreat. Advancing or retreating quickly can take advantage of enemy weaknesses and break up the opposing army. If your guys are spread out, you can’t tell them anything.
Lining up and shooting was the best way to use inaccurate muskets. One guy can’t shoot accurately at all, plus it takes lots of time to reload after each shot.
So you line up 20 dudes and have them shoot 5 or 10 at a time. That makes it more likely to hit something with each volley, and protects the guys who are reloading. The main skill for soldiers wasn’t aiming, it was reloading quickly.
But you can’t loot that. There’s nothing that can be taken or enjoyed by a Russian oligarch. No one is excited about having a dacha in a Ukrainian wheat field.
And the Russian army is facing the same problem that Germany and Napoleon faced in their invasion of Ukraine. When you gain territory, unfortunately you only end up with some bombed out towns in Ukraine.
Napoleon tried to blitz all the way to Moscow. He even took the city. But you just end up with a frozen wasteland. Ukraine is only valuable because of the people there. There’s nothing else to take.
Just distract him with a mirror. Or mention that you’ve never seen an interracial same-sex kiss between two captains before.
But that’s just a guess. It’s not necessarily true. You’re just saying “simulations might be possible, therefore they are definitely possible, therefore we are likely in a simulation”.
That’s not logically sound. You can replace “simulation” with “God” and prove the existence of God similarly. It’s just a guess.
If a group of people are laid off, in Japanese culture that reflects very poorly on the company, suggesting that management was irresponsible to lead the company into this situation.
I mean, that’s the actual truth. All these tech layoffs are just happening because Executive Leadership Teams copy each other. A few years ago they were all hiring at the same time too.
You should hire when others are firing so you get the best employees. You should hold off on hiring when everyone else is hiring, so you don’t overpay. It’s pretty simple.
Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it’s legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it’s from a trusted source.
It’s called a “name”.
Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a “name” is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can’t work for governments or businesses.
ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.
generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.
And? There’s already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a “watermark” system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.
Looks like you need to post about politics less.
