I feel like the EU is beginning to experience some growth patterns that the USA experienced in the later 20th century where the was a mass migration towards the American Sunbelt in search of better weather and a lower cost of living. However, without the mass building that occurred in the USA during that time, the migration is causing housing unaffordability as working Portuguese families can’t compete with northern pensioners.

There is a large amount of state propaganda using the conflict as justification for the state’s existence. I would imagine whether people believe to be true or not to be on a spectrum line other countries.

Maybe, but the DPRK government is on its third generation hereditary leader with a senior leadership consisting of children of previous senior leadership. It is functionally an absolute monarchy.

CB Radio was big in the 70’s.

Amazon, like a lot of other tech companies, has also been cutting product lines as increased interest rates has put a cost to money and a push to profitability.

That said, there is likely some use to AI, even if it is error prone.

I don’t see the shows contributing to world hunger.

Yes.

I don’t see that working today.

If it is a house, get good insurance on it that will pay out on the cost of the structure. If they demolish the house, keep the land undeveloped and invest the insurance payout rather than rebuild. Taxes will be low because the land will have dropped in price thanks to the local community. Continue as the town has to raise taxes because they are destroying rateable properties and insurance rates rise due to the increased likelihood of property damage. Hope for either pushing the locals out or getting a municipal bankruptcy to put the town under state control.

Likely not.

Am important part is that the local economy could be on board, but it is likely that some investor would see what is happening and buy the property.

There are studies showing that LLM AI is competitive against human C suite managers. When issues like AI hallucinations are brought up, it turns out that human C suite managers also make shit up all the time.

One interesting thing they found was that AI doesn’t do as well if there is a shock to the economic system like Covid.

It depends, though.

There are cases where parts of a struggling company is worth less than the sum of its parts. At that point, the fiscally prudent option is to sell it off, either in one piece or multiple pieces. There are plenty of cases in American corporate history where the best option is to cut losses and leave a market.

That being said, I’m surprised that private equity is still allowed to be a thing given the massive disparity shown in how a lot of financial disparity in how a lot of private equity companies run their companies against their fiduciary responsibilities to their companies’ stockholders and bondholders.

I’ve taken a listening course taught by a former cop. It turns out there is an active curriculum for police on how to actively listen to diffuse situations; it just isn’t taught as default to all cops.

One thing I’ve seen as a new hotness in high art is that the themed experience is crossing the threshold from low art to high art. What would have been considered a theme park ride is now bring presented as an interactive experience worthy of being in a museum. Of course, you will have to exit through the gift shop.

I think, as a general direction of art, we are in the middle of a synthesism of ideas instead of the deconstructionism of the early and mid 20th century.

I don’t know what we’re building, but we are building something.

It isn’t a ban so much as being able to legally go after people who evade the ban.

If you are a reputable company in the right jurisdiction, you can be sued by the state for operating illegally. That is likely enough to get companies to block the state’s IP addresses.

That seems rather typical of a middle income economy.

I don’t know. I look at it as a lot of people on Lemmy complain about how “normal” people force them to act in a certain way and, just in the choice of using a depreciated letter of the alphabet, they are getting hated on for not acting in the conformist manner on Lemmy.

Eh. I remember a time on the Internet where L33T SP34k was a thing. I look at the thorn as something similar.

It is a stylistic choice that, even if it doesn’t poison AI inputs, is acceptable in Internet forums like Lemmy.

Yeah, but to be honest, Lemmy is small enough to notice individuals.
