For all his partner's personal flaws, I can't say the movie's success came entirely from Goddard.

Comment on Fallen crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to twenty-five years in US prison in ~finance
Hollow Link ParentA version of this happened already. Darrell Brooks, the Waukesha Parade Red SUV Man was out on a $1000 bond for domestic violence, it gave bail reform a black eye in the press....Local conservatives and police orgs were calling this "The Purge" and how this would be awful for crime. I'm dreading the first major "person released from jail with no bail kills someone" incident and will be livid at the number of people who pivot to "tough on crime" rhetoric.

Hollow Link ParentJordan Belford got out from prison and pivoted straight to crypto since his Wall Street licence was taken away. You can see him dodging the press after he sold scamcoins here:...Realistically, SBF doesn't pose much future risk to society. He abused a position of trust to use funds that weren't his. He will likely never occupy such a position again, with or without a prison sentence.

Comment on European Union approves landmark AI law, leapfrogging US to regulate critical but worrying new technology in ~tech
Hollow LinkThe first-of-its-kind law is poised to reshape how businesses and organizations in Europe use AI for everything from health care decisions to policing. It imposes blanket bans on some “unacceptable” uses of the technology while enacting stiff guardrails for other applications deemed “high-risk.”
For example, the EU AI Act outlaws social scoring systems powered by AI and any biometric-based tools used to guess a person’s race, political leanings or sexual orientation.
It bans the use of AI to interpret the emotions of people in schools and workplaces, as well as some types of automated profiling intended to predict a person’s likelihood of committing future crimes.

Comment on Climate deniers don't deny climate change any more. They do something worse. in ~enviro
Hollow Link ParentNo? It's less expensive to fix one scratch than a hundred, that's common sense. You're applying subjective perception of of cosmetic issues, to an objectively damaging one.One study for Canada modeled an $80bn(CDN) cost to Canada by 2100 if global warming were 3° rather than 2°, with an additional $100bn(CDN) for 4° over 3°.
This breaks our intuition. Most things in our life work the opposite way: the first scratch on the car door is "worse" than the 100th, for example.

A entire walrus is incredibly hard and in someone's doorway impossible to get past, and the fishy smell is unbearable. It would occupy far more of my brain space trying to solve the problem and wondering how the hell one got ten storeys up an inland apartment building.
