"In response to an inquiry about why this program was cut, the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement that the program, quote, "wasted taxpayer funds to place climate change hysteria in AI models," unquote."

wow

It is basically a ceiling to how much you can pay in taxes.

A foreigner moving to Italy can either

  • enter the normal taxation regime, and pay according to all (domestic and foreign) incomes they have;
  • decide to pay 200.000€ a year + 25.000€ per family member, no questions asked on foreign income (for up to 15 years).

Sorry, I was not clear. The government that made the first law (100k "flat tax" for rich people moving to Italy) was the PD (theoretically centre-left) guided by Renzi (that I would consider 100% centre-right politician, hence what I meant)...

I am completely agree that FdI is far-right, hell many members of the government are big fans of Mussolini and the fascist party...

It is still comically low... From 200k to 300k per year, regardless of whatever income they have, in the hope that coming to Italy they will "trickle down" their wealth (we know well how ridiculous that statement is).

The worst part is that it was made by a centre-right government masquerading as centre-left...

Experiencing it right now... Still no battery update for my phone, but I am currently away on vacation and am dreading the moment it will become a fancy brick

Yeah they sent a communication to pixel 6a owners saying that they will force an update that will reduce battery usage. In case you did not know, Google is providing a 100$ check, or 150$ discount on their store for 6a owners.

What is this magic? You are telling me that a single command would have spared me an entire day of suffering?

[–] TheWonderfool@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I agree with you, and I'm no expert, still if you are painting yourself as the big strong bully, capable of going against anyone, and then you don't go out of your house because you are scared of getting lynched, I guess that others can and will take advantage of your weakness... Especially given that others have no issue whatsoever with ignoring ICC warrants...

So uhmm... Is there maybe an extra option to have intercourse with said creature?

The article is from May 19, 2022. I can find very little information about the vote of this Wednesday. While I don't doubt its authenticity, I find it unlikely that it would pass. Last time they tried, doing it much more loudly and going as far as spreading disinformation campaigns on TV and in social media, they still completely failed at having the legislation passed. To me it looks like someone is finishing their mandate, so they are scrambling to show that they are doing the work they have been paid to do (by lobbist, obviously not by the people).

I hope I will not be proven wrong.

It looks promising, even though it is quite far away from becoming available to the general public.

Still I wish that there was more of a push for something like a contraceptive pill for men. It feels like it has been ignored for years and only now they are starting a bit with development and trials...

Nice article.

I feel though that, as many others, it compares the carbon footprint of production (panels and batteries) vs the footprint of burning only. By looking at the source of the carbon footprint, it seems that they take into account only the CO2 output of the energy factories, but extraction, transportation and storage has a non-negligible carbon footprint.
