I remember when cashews were awfully expensive & an absolute treat. They were also of a better quality, presumably grown in excellent farming conditions.

The sad thing is that by deforesting the land & flooding the market with substandard product, theyโ€™ve lowered the return. Destroying the environment for poor gains. I guess thatโ€™s what happens in a world with gross financial inequity.

Most people don't understand what vibe coding really means. Maybe you should publish an article about how powerful and fun it can be for real developers.
If you understand the code, vibe coding turns into a dev superpower.

New rules for a rat-race. I my opinion, all this micro-accounting (= internal author struggles), inhibits effective collaboration. Science increasingly turns to a goal-oriented bureaucracy, away from an open art-like exploration, curiosity and thruth-seeking.

*... the accelerated conversion of universities into profit centers for private equity is their accelerated conversion into glorified job-training centers. Most schools are treating their AI procurements as vocational training, in some cases directly transferring university resources toward this perceived demand for AI-literate workers.*



Whoever "welcomes this" really didn't get the point... and should be kept far from any science policy decisions.

The problem is not that we have the wrong scientific metrics, but that we rely on scientific metrics way too much:

Creative Resisters: Hopecore - How to tell stories of peace, democracy, and a new world


We are at a unique moment in history where profound changes must be made to ensure we live in peace among ourselves and with the planet. As creators we have the vision, human insight, and communication skills to help people imagine a better society and their place within it. We can provide models of compassionate and courageous action to give them the strength to bring our collective aspirations to reality.

Right here, right now, people are ready to consider a beautiful future unlike the world with which they have been struggling. We are not talking about utopia, but a functional world - a democratic world, where we are all more able to care for and cooperate with one another.

This event is free, and being run to help the US political resistance.

Hey! European here, sorry if the question sounds stupid, it's 100% honest. So, I have had to search for "premiums" in the context of healthcare to understand it, and even after that, I do not understand the part about surgery. Does the US government shutdown affect surgeries or healthcare in general??
This entry was edited (1 month ago)
in reply to Joxean Koret (@matalaz)

@joxean It affects healthcare in general because those tax credits that were cut in the previous continuing resolution, which expired made health insurance payments (premiums) cheaper.

Farmers, ranchers, small business owners, and self-employed people tend to have higher premiums to begin with because they only have insurance for themselves and possibly their few employees, so they can't be clumped into a big risk pool like they would if they were part of a large company

in reply to Joxean Koret (@matalaz)

@joxean @trebach Yes, self-employed people like me will probably see our monthly premiums go up and our coverage get worse -- it affects everything about our healthcare, including the cost of surgery.
