A positive outcome few expected.

I’d rather we give up AI than give up meat or flying. I am not taking a ship half way across the world.

The results used to be better too. AI just produces junk faster.

That’s even harder.

Good luck getting -2/3- 3/4 of the states to ratify it.

I sure hope someone enforces the law

Except for this law.

IANAL, he is probably breaking other laws too.

Stallman warned us, we didn’t listen.

I’m glad to see BadVista still up https://badvista.fsf.org/blog/view/?set_language=en

At what point does this all just become sinophobia?

Not as bad as you make it out to be, and I actually worked in the US with more Chinese engineers than US engineers.

It is not illegal is it?

If it is legal, then thank you China for the free backup.

A lot of progress needs to be made and laws and regulations are slow to catch up, but at least things are trending in the right direction:

Qatar takes action to protect workers from extreme heat

UAE’s midday break for outdoor workers begins on June 15

As opposed to regressing:

Florida joins Texas in banning local heat protections for outdoor workers

“Arabs bad. must have nefarious motive”

At least the Fediverse exists.

Maybe shouldn’t try to create a country on someone else’s land? Refugees are supposed to assimilate into the culture, not create a separate ethnostate and expel the natives.

In the UAE they steal from hotels

More countries should do the same.

Lots of countries had female heads of state. Here are some Muslim* ones.

*Mauritius and Singapore aren’t Muslim countries but have a significant Muslim minority.

Under the law in Texas, doctors who perform abortions risk life in prison, fines of up to $100,000 and revocation of their state medical licenses.

This is excessive. Way too much. Cruel and unusual punishment is against the US constitution.

Seriously, just consider the following from bad evil theocratic authoritarian Saudi Arabia:

Expat doctor, nurse arrested in Saudi Arabia over unsafe abortions

The Ministry of Health in Riyadh referred the two medical professionals to the public prosecutor, and they face imprisonment for up to six months and a fine of up to $26,000 (100,000 riyals).

What is the punishment for a doctor performing an illegal abortion in Texas?
