Data sovereignty is going to be key to maintaining any sovereignity going forward, it’s so vital to the function of society and the economy that outsourcing it to another country is just giving part of yourself away.

You could dab it with a little paint or glue or something.

It helps when you reframe math as a puzzle, because then it becomes a game. It’s not interesting unless you make it interesting.

“New Math” kind of tries to do this, although then you run into the problem of parents being unable to help their kids with homework.

That makes sense, but it’s still strange because it means in the case of a fire the entire building has to be treated the same anyway because there is something in the building that reacts with water even if its separate.

I guess it is helpful to indicate that there are multiple substances that have different reaction profiles, but it still seems strange to me.

But the building, as a whole, pesents the combined risk of both chemicals.

But it’s just slapped on the side of the building with no indication of which chemicals the labels are for, I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to be done. It’d be like mixing two chemicals into a bottle and then putting two labels on it.

I think there should just be one label that combines the warning levels of both i.e. 3-2-2-W

As others have said, these are NFPA signs.

What I want to know is why there are two different ones. What the hell does that mean?

This is classic underdevelopment, like how Europe and the US deliberately withheld vital equipment and machinery from Africa to prevent them from building their own industrial base.

It’s obviously way too late for this tactic to make any sense, though. China can’t be underdeveloped, they’re becoming a tech leader at this point.

Oh! That makes more sense lol

Hate having to read an article to understand what it’s saying and would rather read what an AI says it (potentially) says instead?

This reads like satire.

Well, no, my position is that gods could be real but none of them are worth worshiping.

Then, additionally, if there’s some kind of omnipotent and omniscient Creator then it’s evil and I hate it.

I think more broadly you could say I’m anti-demiurge, I guess I don’t particularly hate the other gods but they’re just jumped up elementals/spirits. Like, whatever, some guy demands to be worshipped in exchange for boons or to bestow curses or whatever. I think he’s an asshole for lording his cool lightning powers over us, but I don’t think he needs to be destroyed for it per se.

Antitheist.

If there is some kind of almighty God that created and rules everything then it must be the most evil being to ever exist and we must destroy it. It created evil, it created suffering, it created loss, it created death, and for what? Fun?

You aren’t wrong, but can you really say they wouldn’t do this to socialists if they didn’t do it to Le Pen first? The concept of “precedent” seems very nebulous and liberal to me. In many countries the first targets are socialists.

Seems to me like they can go after anyone they want and they always could. Going after Le Pen doesn’t change this.

Yeah I’m sure this Oscar winning director who worked with Israelis to film was throwing rocks at people.

Fuck off Israel. No one believes your lies anymore.

As if Google isn’t already crammed with Israeli spies. In fact, that’s probably why an Israeli company just got a sweetheart buy out from Google! This is just a continuation of a pre-existing issue Google already had.

It’s not hard to see the role played by NATO expansion and aggression.

When NATO deposed Gaddafi it proved it is not a defensive alliance. When it couped Ukraine and installed an ally it became an existential threat. How could Russia look at an aggressive military alliance expanding toward its border and not take precautions?

Right, it doesn’t matter if automation is less productive if it’s cheaper. Sure, the robots keep causing damage, but they don’t ask for wages.

Meanwhile here in Iowa our automated materials towing robots keep dumping shit on the floor, running into sensitive equipment, and injuring people.

Yup - off the top of my head
