Basically, they're talking about trying to shift development patterns without actually banning development in unsafe locations:

One common approach, called transfer of development rights, allows owners of high-risk land to sell their development rights to owners of land in safer locations, who can then exceed the typical housing density on the property they own.

Another is density bonuses, which let developers construct more homes or taller buildings than normally permitted, as long as they provide public benefits — in this case, by building on higher, drier ground.

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

The goal of course is a bunch of sick and dead kids. Because quacks make more money that way.

I'll note that the bulk of violent attacks in the US have long been motivated by far-right ideology. But Republicanists don't want to admit that

From what I can tell, datacenters are choosing the expensive things like small-scale gas turbines, a large chunk of the time. Its utter insanity

Both. Theyre using tariffs to limit imports, took away tax credits, and are limiting the ability to build transmission and use public land

I think they're trying to market Yaupon, which at least has caffeine

Most of what people propose, yes. There are a bunch of chemical processes (fertilizer manufacturing) where it's literally not possible to substitute batteries in.

I think the amount of content scraping being done to feed the LLMs has led to a lot of news outlets making it harder for anybody who can't easily show that they're human to access their work

Threats like that aren’t terribly effective at motivating people to vote for you

We do. And it prevents about 80% of cases for people who get the vaccine. Having mosquito control, a vaccine, and a treatment would be better than having only the first two. But it takes money to do a phase 3 trial of a drug, and its hard to get private funding for studies like that when a disease mostly impacts poor people
