I was lucky enough to visit the US before Trump's 1st term back in 2015. I even considered working there. Sure, the customs and TSA were uncomfortable experiences, but that's nothing compared to what my dual-citizenship colleague had on a recent trip.
They were taken into a backroom for questioning at Houston airport for hours with no explanation and ultimately let go with no apologies, nothing. The "crime" was using their European passport, methinks. They are not going back to US after that experience.
After which VW will deny any warranty claims or won't do any repairs. Or even worse, brick the car remotely. It will be akin to unlocking bootloaders on phones or Nintendo bricking consoles.
Mind sharing these? My current job includes a lot of manual copying, at least until I can automate it. Especially the plaintext/no newlines paste sounds very useful!
>It's referring to total deaths, not per capita, let alone per pedestrian.
What exactly does it matter? Deaths per capita is a stupid statistic anyway. The pedestrian deaths are at least 3 times as numerous in the USA than, for example, the Nordic countries. (in terms of pedestrian deaths/driven distance)
If anything, the article is trying to make a point that the car centricism in the US is bad, and steps should be taken to make it less so.
I was implying that you still need a human to make the final decision. AI can be a valuable aid in both fields. Doctors can't just let the AI do all the work in the same way synthetic chemists can't blindly trust the AI to spit out correct and feasible results. Research time is expensive and thus the effort needs to be evaluated, and usually the intuition of said chemists trump that of the AI.
Chemical synthesis is much more than just retrosynthesis. Even if it was, you can not just plug in the novel previously unsynthesized molecule and expect any reasonable results. Furthermore, the tool is based on Reaxys which in turn uses already established reaction routes and conditions from literature and patents. Good luck optimizing yields for something you don't know even how to synthesize, let alone what conditions to use.
I can live without both. I unfollowed everyone and everything on FB and log in maybe once a week on my PC to check for event invites. (Covid has diminished those too)
On Instagram I only followed some old acquitances. Not really anything I could not live without. Stopped using it altogether.
Now, I don't know if most people can live without them but I certainly can. Deleted both apps and never looked back.
Weird seeing Meta threaten like this when their time on the limelight has come and gone. Tiktok is eating up Meta's users it seems and it shows.
