@ondakondratiev@NewLeftEViews I recently have put less weight into hour comparisons and more so to capability within a day/week/month/year (depends on industry) as a lot of the low productivity per hour is just doing bs to look busy but still locking in when needed.
@theo Nah, this is great, the sloppier and more lines of code gets introduced and the more AI enables new businesses to take form or adapt software, the more job security it provides engineers, so long as AI hits a bottleneck.
@mickstackle@lewis02958@nuel_irl Thaddeus got the high score and was the best purger. All the surviving viltrumites after all were the only ones strong enough to survive
@R4scal0 @Fenrirtheicewo1 3 birds one stone. 50% Chance to get both the betrayer and the heir, plus reduces risk of revolt in the future by purging those that disobey orders
@bluewmist The hilarious thing is that this might just be no less sustainable than the current model. If the elderly will comprise the majority then this by raw numbers could make sense.
@zeenohh Not to mention the EU as a whole being comparable size, or for the purpose of the corridors to build Japan being about the same length as the east or west coasts
@yuanyi_z Unless the U.S. itself bars Canadian students, this won’t even work since if supposing a student was talented enough to go UToronto or Waterloo etc., they’d have a good chance to get into a good U.S. uni.
@africaken1 In terms of brutality, the front in Ukraine is more than anything in Africa, but if you’re talking about civilian brutality, Africa takes the cake
@MostlyMonkey If I recall, universities first popped up on studying theology, and as law was one of the earliest professions in a time where theology was more prominent in politics, law has always been there day one as an elite profession.
@MostlyMonkey Agreed. Also more powerful. A lot of politicians have been lawyers, such as a lot of presidents. If you think of a legal system more generally it also is part of what officials and nobles did back in the day.
@LinkofSunshine Kind of selection bias. Typically when a lot of politicians agree on things they don’t need to be heavily debated. I think 90% of people agree murder is illegal, so parties aren’t going to debate the obvious. When you start moving towards the edge cases where people fit
@cadian_gate@TKohoto My only guesses would be one: constant bombardment prevented them from moving out heavier kit to preserve them. Two: they don’t want to use them because they wanted hostages, if they wanted to merely kill soldiers they’d just launch them at bases
@TruueDiscipline Well ig if there is criticism to be made it’s that whatever dumbass left our soldiers in that initial Iranian strike out to die oughta be fired and publically shamed.
@Arrogance_0024 Eh, there’s been plenty of militaries in history that have had extraction policies, perhaps through different means. Just gotta adapt. If you’re pressed on the battlefield against a peer opponent just take some pows of your own and swap them.
@Euunul@AnalyticaCamil1 Well if there was like a 75-90% failure chance we wouldn’t have conducted the rescue in the first place. We’re flying by over an outskirt region of Iran, not like a major city or military outpost with dozens of manpads, so we can just strafe the area no prob.
