The mistake at a Queensland fertility clinic has been blamed on human error.
In most cases, “human error” is just “processes weren’t in place to prevent human error.” We all make mistakes, but not have mechanisms in place to catch these mistakes is the problem.
A few points:
When they say “recession,” they are talking about a very specific definition:
Declines in real gross national income (GNI) for two consecutive quarters
This can only be confirmed once we have the data. So, you are likely right, we are probably already in a recession. However, it’s not “They just don’t want to acknowledge it’s happening,” it’s that they can’t confirm it’s happening until 6 months after a recession has started.
Sure, that’s completely true but unrelated to what you said in your original comment. I quote:
Why would anyone with that much money want to come here permanently
You were not talking about non-resident citizens, so stop moving the goalposts.
Plus, the US has one of the lowest tax rates of any of those “large countries” you talked about. So unless a US citizen resided in a country without a tax treaty with the US (there’s not many of them), they’re almost certainly being charged enough tax in their resident country that they pay $0 to the IRS on non-USA income.
The US is the only large country that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income.
That’s untrue. As a Canadian, I know we do, and I believe we’re far from alone. I don’t know why people keep perpetuating this myth.
Sure, but your previous comment said:
This was more money than the 2000 presidential campaign by either side
But that’s not true if they’re both 2000/2025 dollars. So at least now the dollars are apples-to-apples.
If you just want the tech specs and don’t want to read a full article, Nintendo has published a spec sheet.
I’m curious to see what the “Custom processor made by NVIDIA” is, partially to see what the Switch 2 is capable of, but also to see what Nvidia might put in other devices. (Can I hope for a Shield refresh?)
This isn’t the judge’s fault. They work within a system and can’t force a prosecutor to pursue a case. What else do you expect them to do?
This was more money than the 2000 presidential campaign by either side
I don’t disagree there’s too much money in politics, but let’s compare apples-to-apples. With inflation, $100M in 2025 would be ~$54M in 2000.
That’s not the cost of running the election, that’s the parties spending on the election, correct? So those funds were never going to go into infrastructure. I definitely agree we overspend on politics for politics sake, but please don’t conflate political party funds with government funds.
Well, the judge can order the arrest of those people. We shall soon find out whether law enforcement will actual follow those orders…
It’s like when you sell a car, once the title is signed over and you get the money the deal is done.
No, if you want a car to be your analogy, it’s more like a rental. The US is actively paying El Salvador to detain them. They can end that deal whenever they want.
I know that the BIG issue everyone’s worried about is they obviously did something (actually, quite a few things) wrong and aren’t being held to account.
However, the other thing I can’t let go of is the fact that they complain about Clinton & Biden, but then refuse to investigate this situation. Whatever you feel about those 2 (personally I think they were handled properly), those situations were investigated and they were cleared. Simply declaring this matter closed without even going through the motion to investigate just increases the level of sketchiness.
IMHO, you should consider doing more troubleshooting on Kmail. I’ve never used it personally, but from my understanding, it’s a stable program and shouldn’t have problems doing the basics of email, like you’re reporting.
All of those companies have plants both in the US & Canada (and I’m sure Mexico too, I’m just less familiar). As someone who lives in Southwestern Ontario, we have a lot of car brands, both foreign and domestic, plus the supply chains for the parts that go into those cars.
Saying the big 3 are “primarily in Canada and Mexico” is just untrue, especially comparing it to Japanese brands. They’re all heavily relying on CUSMA.
There is nothing wrong with using FOSS without contributing. You can’t have any expectations if you don’t contribute, but it’s not mooching, it’s a fundamental component of Open Source licensing.
With that said, the government of the Netherlands is already doing a decent job of supporting FOSS.
Your response says, “not epaper” which is categorically wrong. I assume you meant to say “eink”
Yes! The best thing about Pebbles (IMHO) is how they handle notifications. In the specs, they list Nordic nRF52840 BLE chip (BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy)
Fair, but in that case I don’t think that’s “human error” but instead “negligence”.
