It’s probably doubling as a tax payer funded vacation

Pyr@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’English3·16 days agoFor things like language, math, and science you could probably have an AI teacher on individualized tablets or something that go at each child’s own pace in a classroom setting that’s just supervised by someone and can provide extra help / tech support when the AI goes on the fritz.
Then regular recess/lunch shenanigans and gym class, art, music, for the social aspect.
The AI could even be programmed to do team projects where you link your tablet with 4 others and they all help the group do a project
Eventually when AI advances and isn’t complete dog shit, that is.
None of the above. I’m a long sleeve shirt and full pajama bottoms person.
Pyr@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Trump revives failed drug price plan with promised executive order4·26 days agoI didn’t know Trump was a communist
Pyr@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•China and US agree 90-day pause to trade war initiated by Donald Trump5·26 days agoThere are already a bunch of companies who got $10,000+ tarriffs bills for products they ordered months before tarriffs were intoruced, before Trump was even in office.
Why would they order more stuff for the tarriffs to come back In 4 months and fuck them over again?
Pyr@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Manufacturers say Trump has made opening U.S. factories impossible3·28 days agoAs well, why would you when you can just hunker down for 4 years and wait for the next administration to get rid of the tariffs? They already have millions and billions invested outside of the country. Why spend that much again for a potentially short term problem?
I want $50,000,000 so I can park it in the bank and live off 2-3% interest for the rest of my life. Anything else I’ll just donate or whatever while I volunteer or work a low paying job that’s fun and rewarding.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Funny@sh.itjust.works•William Shatner says Mark Carney should offer to make the U.S. the 11th province7·1 month agoThose ones can just join Canada, geography problem solved.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Funny@sh.itjust.works•William Shatner says Mark Carney should offer to make the U.S. the 11th province4·1 month agoCanada agrees.
Then we can tax the shit out of anything from China crossing the territory to get to the remaining United States.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Funny@sh.itjust.works•William Shatner says Mark Carney should offer to make the U.S. the 11th province8·1 month agoMmmm… How about something else that doesn’t allow Americans to vote? Because 11th province would just mean Canada becomes America under a different name.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuitEnglish16·1 month agoI can see why patents are so long when you need to build like a billion dollar factory to make a product and mass produce it.
Digital concepts don’t take that much investment and once you have it you don’t need to invest in making more, it’s just there.
So yes, digital patents should be a fraction of the time that physical patents should be. Like 2 years instead of 20.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuitEnglish171·1 month agoHow is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn’t under patent?
Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL ancient Romans used communal toilets—stone benches with keyhole-shaped holes—where people sat side by side without privacy, chatting while waste drained beneath them using flowing water.English7·1 month agoI mean, the spacing looks like it would be pretty squishy if you had little wall separators between each spot
Where I live they are required to rehabilitate the land afterwards, but usually that’s after the mine has been running for like 30+ years and by the time they shut down, they do some weird financial trickery and declare bankruptcy despite having made millions in profits the previous decades and then they just walk away and tax payers need to clean up.
I like the size of new Mavericks, but Ford, bleh
Pyr@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Democrats win landslide in safe Iowa seat, claim "rebuke of Trump"38·1 month agoUsually low turnout benefits the Republicans. This is potentially every Democrat coming out to vote against Trump while Republicans stayed home because they don’t like Trump anymore but can’t bring themselves to vote for a Democrat.
Pyr@lemmy.cato Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•The "Thank God Ledge" in Yosemite National Park, California20·1 month agoI can imagine myself on that ledge and being the one person where after thousands of years of being perfectly fine, the ledge finally decided to give way and separate from the cliff.
Pyr@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•'Such an embarrassment': Donald Trump roasted for wearing blue suit to Pope's funeral41·1 month agoNo, most of Trump’s supporters are idiots so you have to point out every miniscule little fuck up otherwise they will think that Trump is amazing.
Yes, it’s inconsequential, but if you don’t make a fuss about it Republicans will think he is infallible.
What can they do? Send you more junk mail?
One thing I don’t understand about inflation is why printing money increases it but borrowing money doesn’t.
Either way you all of a sudden have $200 million dollars to spend, why does inflation care if that came from another country? The money is still the same, being spent the same, etc.
Eventually it needs to be paid back but that’s not for a very long time so wouldn’t inflation happen between now and then anyways?
