I mean, when the US trolls say “BoTh SiDeS” we all laugh. Even the choice to vote for corrupt Torries or not-so-corrupt Torries is better than no vote.

Remember what we are getting rid of

Here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69AtkAHkKEc

Governments are location based, but also give huge amounts in foreign aid - especially rich countries. They are also better placed to give it fairly than individuals. Here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69AtkAHkKEc

An individual giving money to good causes will always be limited by the fact that it is based on the whims/biases of that individual. So, it is possible to see that some billionaires like Bill Gates and (dare I say it…) J K Rowling give substantial amounts to charities - we can also see that they are donating to personal pet causes. Society already has a way for rich people to give to a structured system that (attempts to) give(s) out the money to a wide variety of causes - its called tax and the system is government! If these people who society has allowed to become so wealthy just paid taxes and supported a proper, fair government then they wouldn’t need charities… but then they wouldn’t get to name buildings after themselves.

Just a thought… Google wrote the ‘we have no moat’ document. Is it possible that they are intentionally trying to turn public opinion against AI? [no moat document] It’s a bit like they are intentionally churning out shit AI (it won’t damage their monopoly) to turn people against using AI (which might topple some serious business interests)… In short you’re right, but I get suspicious when big business seems to be doing the right thing. :D [edit: espirit d’escalier!]

There! In the spine of the dictionary the words are worthless. They are a mere weight pressing against my thoughtlessness.

There is an intrinsic micro-mort rate for working on a roof. If you take this number and the number of hours that are spent working at height fitting solar panels (I got this from industry data a few years ago) its then fairly easy to put the annual deaths from fitting solar panels far above that of nuclear. These deaths are a ‘tragic accident’, rather than systemic so…

[edit: I can’t find a value for professionals anymore. This link mentions 1micromort per person on a ladder at home] [edit: clarity]

certain cancers in areas surrounding the plant did rise

just a note to add that if you start checking the population for something routinely like thyroid cancer… the rate that you find it goes up. This is why the detected cancer rate increasing is not considered a cause for alarm.

I thought hard about whether to put it on ask lemmy, but didn’t want to look stupid. The only advice I could find was this:

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
