It make sense, when you make a decision you make it based on the data you have not the truth. So security theaters are effective as long as people who are thinking about commiting a crime think it is working. And they care about getting caught.

If you have kernel access you can already do almost everything so a vulnerability on top of that isn't that bad since no one should have kernel access to your computer

Medical use is absolutely revolutionary. From GP's consultations to reading tests results, radios, AI is already better than humans and will be getting better and better.

Computers are exceptionally good at storing large amount of data, and with ML they are great at taking a lot of input and inferring a result from that. This is essentially diagnosing in a nutshell.

The idea would simply be to stop giving so many taxes cuts to companies.

In tenace we recently raised the retirement age because according to the government there was not enough money, the usual bullshit.

Why bullshit you ask? Because it is the very same government that removed three times as much as what they said was missing from pension funds in taxes on companies. They also reduced taxes on capital gains, to bring it to a lower level as what someone middle class would pay on their salary, part of which goes to finance pensions.

We have the money, we always have, it is just a matter of choosing where to put it. Most government of the West decided to put it in the hands of the few richest.

And he owes around 5k€ in back rent! That is proper justice for once.

Rich people aren't necessarily smart. These are two unrelated metrics. See Elon Musk for a counter example.

2 dollars of progress for 85 years... How much has productivity risen during that time?

Once again they are so close yet so far from a solution : Just reverse the taxation schemes on planes and trains.

In France at least, airplane fuel isn't taxed, electricity is. Train ticket have 20% sales tax, airplane tickets don't. Just reverse that and see how that changes things.

Slavery is not good for the economy... Think about it, you have a good part of your population that are providing free labour, sure, but they aren't consumers. Consumption is between 50 and 80% of GDP for developed countries, so if you have half your population as slave you loose between 20% and 35% of your GDP (they still have to eat so you don't loose a 100% of their consumption).

That also means less revenue in taxes, more unemployed for non slaves because they have to compete with free labour.

Slaves don't order on Amazon, go on vacation, go to the movies, go to restaurant etc etc That's really bad for the economy.

There are uses for NFT, but it is clearly not what they are famous for.

NFT aren't pictures of monke, they are a way to authenticate something in a decentralised way, so no trust in another entity needed. The picture isn't the NFT, and that is why you can just right click-copy it.

You can't however just copy the NFT, the actual token. Having a token that's verifiably owned by someone is useful for certain things. It's like a certificate of authenticity, but digital.

We use nextcloud where I work, it is a smaller company (less than 100 people) but it works just fine.

Nice to have authorities being premature instead of late as usual. Plus education require time, so you can't warn people too soon I believe.
