What is the obsession with gold? taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/0… Every time I post a video about money, people appear claiming only gold is money and that we must go back on the gold standard. Those saying so are economic dinosaurs who do not understand how the modern economy works and would rather we go back to the era that delivered the Great Depression precisely because of the obsession with gold. They really do need to be ignored.

Young people no longer see Labor as the party of protest - Pearls and Irritations

in reply to Heather Evans

The idea that the Labor party is in any way anti-establishment is utterly laughable, they *are* the establishment. I have never once found a party worth preferencing between the Liberals and Labor. Yes, Labor is more representative of my ideals, but only just. The way I've described it in the past is that the Liberals is a bowl of rat poo cereal while Labor is a bowl of rat poo ice cream. One is very slightly more appealing than the other, but they're mostly the same thing.

pensiero personale su decisioni terra-terra: se ci saranno diversi ministri nei guai con la giustizia ordinaria, sarà sempre più probabile l'aumento del bellicismo governativo. Un governo che deve gestire uno stato di guerra esplicito non viene mai messo in discussione. Cfr. Mussolini.

I draw a different conclusion from Felix's analysis. Namely, that the current data mining exceptions are the culprit of the power imbalance in AI training that currently favors YOLO #AI companies over public interests. We should rather have stronger exceptions, that allows incorporating copyright protected works into #opendata datasets.

But it remains a very interesting read in support of the "compromise" position currently adopted in #OSAID drafts.
