quality of textiles on IRL shelves going back up

Because the people buying in a physical store, care more about quality than the regular online shopper does.

Sure there’s also good brands online, but most big ones are also seeing tremendous declines in recent years

Not read, but if you peer review something outside of your field. Experts should be able to see you’re off field and not assign the same level of credibility to that peer review

Couldn’t this easily be solved by one university building a platform?

I understand there’s a need to verify people actually are who they are and have credibility on the topic they review.

So starting out utilising uni logins or something alike, and you’ll have all university professors included

Agriculture may use AI to inform how they do things, and eventually, machines could then take that knowledge and run the farm for you.

Given how straight tractors drive, the way you can programme the topend to self plant/harvest a field. The driving itself isn’t AI, but there’s a ton of image recognition software popping up that can limit the amount of pesticides used. As they’re able to recognise the exact areas in need of them.

Then we have drones able to capture soil efficiency and there’s probably a ton of other cases. AI is definitely altering farming and in theory could also reduce the needed amount of manpower - As more and more specialised machinery, can be used more or less autonomously. There’s legitimately farms in the Netherlands marked as airports, so they’re allowed to fly drones of a certain size. And all the imagery processing is also depending on a kind of AI

It’s still a calculator, it just misses some features. It’s one didactical way to include calculators.

You’re ending up with a larger group of pupils “mastering” basic calculations through counting, when you remove the calculator as a tool for learning. Using the strategy of “counting all”, is one of the clearest signs a 1st grade pupil will be behind their peers in 4th grade.

Broken calculator (just search for it), is one way to include calculators in a didactic way. But using calculators in general, improves a kids ability to estimate results - Which is an ability that helps anyone out tremendously, as it’s giving you a clear idea if something went completely wrong in a calculation

This is kind of like the “you won’t have a calculator with you all the time” argument by your 8th grade math teacher in 2003

Which is grand, given we’ve had researchers agreeing effectively incorporating calculators into math education improves everyone’s ability to do math without calculators - Since the 90s

There’s pretty good arguments to include calculators from a really young age, to improve the understanding of numbers

One persons terrorist is another persons freedom fighter

Fast fashion is a different topic from the machine produced vs tailor point they’re making.

Made to order is getting more and more traction, because we have machines able to fully automate it. Making higher quality clothing more available than ever

I used to work at an international, where the CEO left to create a new startup.

The amount of people that worked in his office, that made glazing email all (yep all 2500 global workers) was astounding. In short, that guy was seen mostly as a joke in a large slew of the offices. Because he was so lost from reality.

But he had a cult following, because he was some kind of a name within a niche

The vast majority of long distance goods is moved by containers. Because it’s the most effective, not fastest, but effective way of travel.

Which is a big reason for warehouses existing, so you can buy your Chinese product. But it only needs to be send from a warehouse in Cologne, rather than as an individually shipped product from Shenzhen

many monarchies are hereditary celebrities rather than hereditary leaders, where the position is kept around for the tourism value and they do not have (or claim to have) any right to rule over people

There is some power, although due to it not having been exercised for a century. Lawyers argue the legal texts are no longer binding.

But they’re ultimately the last entity that should block a party, if they turn full on authoritarian. All democracies need a non political entity, to overlook the democratic process and stop undemocratic moves.

Finland has a president for the same reason, and likewise does several other European nations.

And then we have insanity like Instagram, where the logo opens a separate area

How the hell does the logo ever load anything but the home screen?

So experts are in a position of power and knowledge creation.

We want whoever is better at a topic, to excel at the topic and be able to research within the topic. Likewise we want ministers of health, whom actually understand health and the science behind it

The problem with the unregulated capitalism we’re seeing globally, is intergenerational wealth. In very short, it’s inheritance.

If everyone were to build themselves up from nothing, we’d have a pretty strong merit based system.

But when rich fucks can hand millions upon millions to their off spring, so no matter their ability to understand the world will live comfortably. Then everything breaks apart.

Ultimately will unregulated capitalism always see wealth/profits drift towards the already wealthy families. Where as resetting wealth every generation, would make dynasties way less likely to exist.

There’s largely still above average working conditions for the people that do land a job in tech, but right now the job security is rather low.

The thing is, if you’re managing an important project. The companies want to pay extra, to ensure they’re having decent people hired and have their time if something breaks out of hours.

But remote hirers, do also factor regional factors into account. Most US companies okay with remote workers, will have payranges per state. Most European companies, have at least pay ranges per country. You’re getting paid more in Denmark than you’d be in Hungary as an example. To account for cost of living as well as local competition

If it’s an onsite position, it depends on living costs.

Some people are claiming 3k for rent is the minimum in the area. Just north of Beverly Hills.

That’s half the salary, just for a studio apartment. Then there’s another chunk for taxes and they’re left with 1-2k for general expenses and living life.

Salaries isn’t a simple thing you can move from one area to another

People who are fucked by the status quo and wants something different… Erhn wait. Binface was on the ballot?

Yeah apparently 62% of Clacton just hates anything not British, so they can’t vote for a spacefaring warlord

If he does this he’ll be a fucking legend.

Imagine the PR show if Binface, Burnham and the manager of the Crown and Treaty Pub got that done

Great roll call nomination, with only one candidate. Yet she didn’t get 100% of the votes - Some would rather abstain
