Science Memes@mander.xyz•Well whenever you notice something like *that*, a wizard did itEnglish
25·10 months agoI assume he meant that just because someone believes in something separate from their scientific work doesn’t affect their credibility.
An easy thought experiment is if an astronomer believes that when an ostrich is scared it buries its head in the ground. Does this affect their work?
If a surgeon believes in destiny doesn’t mean that their work is subpar or that they sabotage their work because it might be someone’s destiny to die.

News@lemmy.world•‘Harrowing': Video shows Worcester police hold girl's face on ground during ICE operation
1·11 months agoTrue but by the time they decide to make a move they would’ve reinforced DC. And there’s a bunch of military bases right there.
Even if you took them by surprise by the time you make it into any building VIPs would be secured and the military preparing a counter offensive.
There is no successful rebellion against the US government with support of the military

1·11 months agoThe US, or any country in fact, is unlikely to give up a chunk of its land because some civilians have machine guns.
I think they’d rather flatten it before considering doing so.
Lets say California through Texas want to have a rebellion. How long do you think it’s going to last after the army blockades all the freeways and imposes a curfew.
Believe me I’d sleep a lot easier believing that if the government goes too far we can topple it. But when was the last time you saw something like that happen without the support of the military or the vast vast majority of the population in support.
And the American people will not rally together due to their strong allegiance to their respective political party

3·11 months agoEU won’t risk such a thing if the US is unlikely to collapse.
The only and I do mean only scenario I see an armed resistance succeeding in toppling ghe government is if a decent chunk of the military sides with it and partakes in the insurrection

112·11 months agoYour house in the suburbs is an easy target and one in the boonies is an easier one.
Hard to organize an armed resistance when you’re so spread out and your best cover is made of drywall.

World News@lemmy.world•Evidence of ‘execution-style’ killings of Palestinian aid workers by Israeli forces, doctor saysEnglish
5·1 year agoJust because they’re incompetent doesn’t mean they kill civilians on accident. It’s pretty easy no to shoot someone surrendering, or an ambulance, or a child, or bomb a UN building, or read the word “press”
Mistakes are not mistakes when they are the status quo

World News@lemmy.world•Hundreds of Gazans march in rare anti-Hamas protestEnglish
123·1 year agoInitially I had a similar view until I learned of the following 3 things:
-
Palestinians signing the Oslo after which the Israeli prime minister was assassinated by an Israeli ultranationalist.
-
The Palestinian government in the West Bank put down their weapons and still get attached by settlers and the IDF and imprisoned with essentially no rights.
-
The Israelis are literally murdering them by the hundreds
Also seems like these people are just protesting for peace and are saying so whatever we just want peace. Yet the title of the article doesn’t focus on that

Technology@lemmy.world•French publishers and authors sue Meta for allegedly training AI models on their books without consent, say they have evidence of “massive” copyright breaches.English
11·1 year agoDid they deploy their AI in Europe? The AI trained on stolen data? It’s like saying that you pirated a Disney movie in Europe and are selling derivative work from that in the US

Technology@lemmy.world•French publishers and authors sue Meta for allegedly training AI models on their books without consent, say they have evidence of “massive” copyright breaches.English
10·1 year agoDude you’re misunderstanding this.
The French punishers can sue Facebook in the US for violating their copyright. But since Facebook also operates in France, they can sue them there. It’s that simple.
Copyright law is pretty powerful and generally global. If you write a book in France in French, I can’t translate and sell it in the US.
So the punishers can sue in the US but they’d probably not win. Facebook operating in France means it is subject to french laws and can be sued there.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Spending on physical video game software in the US has been cut in more than half since 2021 and is now more than 85% below its 2008 peak.English

6·1 year agoYes and no. If deflation is at 1% or 2% investing your money should have significantly higher returns. What it does is make people more risk adverse.

Can’t blame China for mismanagement.
In the US market for instance no US manufacturer makes a car with 4 doors under $40,000. And even then the cheapest one is a Tesla model 3. You know how electric cars cost more to make, it means that it’s possible to make one but they refuse or are too incompetent to do so.
