Because externalities of lithium extraction like using aquifers for evaporation ponds and the pollution from the leftover brine aren’t included in the cost of new lithium production, thus making less environmentally impactful methods of recovery too expensive to justify.

Some do. You see some communities ban users that do nothing but downvote the communities posts from the all feed instead of just blocking them.

You can also do so from some mbin instances. It was a default feature for all users on kbin.

In those conversations it’s because each downvote is closely associated with a reply though there are ways to see I don’t actually use them. And I was mostly joking.

I mean I usually post in world and not ml and I don’t get generally get downvoted for these opinions by anybody but pugjesus.

Really though, beyond the Dems doing something legislatively, could you imagine if the party actually utilized it’s network for direct action campaigns. Not that their donors or upper middle class members would be copacetic to any actual economic disruption. I mean christ, the Senate leader doesn’t even want to let the Republicans shut down the government while they’re busy dismantling it. Their current strategy is to appeal by saying they can bring back business as usual. Unfortunately they don’t seem to understand that appearing ineffectual turns centrists off even more than appearing radical does.

And we do that with basic algorithms informed by research. But then the score gets tied and we have to decide who has the greatest chance of following though on their regimen based on things like past history and means to aquire the medication/go to the appointments/follow a diet/not drink. An AI model will optimize that based on wild demographic data that is correlative without being causative and end up just being a black box racist in a way that a committee that has to clarify it’s thinking to other members couldn’t, you watch.

What are you going to train it off of since basic algorithms aren’t sufficient? Past committee decisions? If that’s the case you’re hard coding whatever human bias you’re supposedly trying to eliminate. A useless exercise.

Gotta go for the ventrillo rofflecopter going soi soi.

Fuck Amazon but it would be nice if we had an FDA to get rid of this crank magnet health product that WIRED is promoting.

That’s the truth. It was tone deafness, a lack of responsiveness, and a clear lack of principles that made me leave during that.

The man with the action packed expense account.
