Yes, but the article seems to imply that data can be subpoenaed. Ergo despite their presumed positive intentions, it’s a noteworthy risk.
Their claim denial rate is probably "good" for the share price. Less claim payouts equals more money equals more shareholder value. Morbid, isn't it?
Authoritarianism doesn't necessarily require nationalism or vice versa, though they're often linked, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. The USA is pretty flag waving, nationalist brained but individual freedom exists. Versus a country like Saudi as you mention is not particularly nationalist, but repression is widespread.
They are quite different than Russia, but looking only at individual freedom, the two are similar in that freedom of speech is not respected and leaders are not fairly elected.
IMO this is why it takes an additional axis to define a government, not just left/right but also free/authoritarian. You can find examples of all combinations. Left wing and repressive? Cuba. Left leaning and free? Sweden. Right wing and repressive? Russia, Saudi Arabia, whatever. Right leaning and free (mostly)? USA.
Obviously, there’s a gradient within these axes, but it’s strange to see people cheering on a country that matches their preferred left or right wing ideology if they’re super repressive.
Death by snu-snu, Fry?
He could blanket pardon marijuana offenders and direct the DEA to reschedule marijuana, or deschedule it altogether. He has the authority to do both.
Can’t understand why you’re being downvoted. This is quite literally the collective assessment of NATO.
This comment is both fucking hilarious and shittily depressing at the same time. I don’t know which emotion is stronger.
Makes sense, Switzerland wouldn’t want to accidentally do the right thing.
Sage advice! I’ve also never applied for a job beyond my first one - always just followed a friend and former coworker into a new company. Connections really do open doors.
I guess summarizing notifications is mildly useful. Other than that, it seems like they’re just embracing the current zeitgeist (or really, meme). I can’t believe the whole industry has become so head-over-heels enamored with LLMs. What a waste of talent, time and energy for so many people.
