So, you say, the poor should just die off? They do not deserve having children? Only those lucky enough to be able to afford children have the right to be parents? And what income makes one worthy?
Any case where children are hungry because their parents cannot aford them is a failure of the society. And it does not matter if that happened beacause of bad choices, bad luck, lack of education or limited access to family planning measures.
Why would insurance be eager to pay for something easily preventable? If it is the same known vulnerability then maybe they could deny?
It is a mess.
The constitutional court have bern compromised by the last (PiS) government. They have illegally appointed some judges (afterva smaller precedent by their predecesors). PiS then used the court to justify their right-wing policies (including stregthened abortion ban) and to secure their corruption.
But after their machinations the constitutional court was not treated seriously as a legal body. Just some polititians (and those idiot-style) roleplaying as important judges. Their verdicts were mostly ignored by lower courts or the current government.
PiS is gone and now we have Tusk’s government. Which was supposed to be democratic, not far-right at all and following a rule of law. But in fact, they are not much less right-wing than PiS - they hardly did anythig about the abortion ban, practically nothing for LGBT rights and still use the anti-migrant rhetorics. Economically they are even more right-wing than PiS - corporation privileges and privatizations for them are more important than healthcare, worker rights or housing. The ‘rule of law’ went out of the window too, e.g. when the prime minister decided to suspend some human rights.
There is also the idiot president. Aligned with PiS, vetoes everything current government does. A former pimp and hooligan. Still a good excuse for the new government for doing nothin important - “president will veto anyway”.
And now the current events: government decided to take control of the constitutional court. No ‘rule of law’ here. When current goverment pushes their own judges to the court it does not make it any more legal. It still will be a joke that cannot be treated seriously. But the president, PiS and the minor far-right (much more far-right than PiS) parties can play ‘defenders of the constitution’ now.
Also, in opinion polls the idiot president is trusted much more than the prime minister. This won’t help in public reception of the events.
I am very afraid of the next elections… The current ‘lesser evil’ government does everything to let PiS with the two far-right parties win those. And gives them good arguments for using more political violence after that.
If it was about the fair competition he would call for regulating Chinese imports instead. You don’t maka a game fair by dropping any rules just because others break them.
Dispatcher is a part of the security system. If what you write was the case, then this was still the security system failing and it seems like because of a design flaw. How can one person just authorize full speed in such situation? Why would it even be possible to run the trains at the full speed with protection devices not working?
But I’ll wait for some proper report…
Of course, a change made to make advertisers happy.
I am ok with cookies set by a specific site for the site functionality - no need to ask for permisdions here. But advertisers should not be allowed to send me any cookies by default and gather aby data. Ads should work like they did in old newspapers: no spying on customers and no personalization at all. All you have to work with is your knowledge about the general public of the medium.
What makes e-mail hard to host is not the protocol, which is actualy great (especially for its age) or implementations (they are even better), but the actual specifics of the service: volume, popularity, importance. All these pull various bad actors: spammers, scammers, big corporations wanting monopoly, etc. I don’t think fediverse have means to fight that. E-mail services got a of mechanisms to fight most of that, and that makes it difficult to host.
Yes, that is something that modern AI could have some value in a game. Not AI-generated assets (graphics and music), not even AI filling in for lazy writters, but AI providing emergent story and gameplay. Like Dwarf Fortress, but LLMs instead of some “simple” hardcoded rules. This should be a genre of its own, not something pushed to every game, though.
And why do you think that human brains basic mechanics are not similarily simple? Intelligence is an emergent property of some physical system. There is no magic making biological cells fundamentally different than transistors in this sense. They may be built very differently, but both are still just physical devices.
