This is just the feel good story I was looking for today.
But where will they get the poor uneducated population that they need to buoy support for their extreme right wing parties?
I'm pretty sure the similar exists in other places too. You could host it in AWS in China or Bahrain and save yourself a bunch of risk.
Why in the world would you do this in the US?

Whenever these people write something, the spelling mistakes are all but inevitable. I'm really impressed if they manage to spell a whole sentence.
This is one area where I am vehemently in support of IP protection for all the writers and artists' works being used. Unfortunately, unlike when it comes to suing individuals who copy something, the wholesale theft of generations of art and writing by AI companies is just being let slide.
Immediately made me think of this.
I guess my issues with stuff like the tardigrade, time bug, spore drive, etc. is that it's just taking something from earth and putting it in space and saying it's the "space version". It's so lazy and stupid. At least TOS usually had some interesting reasoning behind why these things were happening or they were different enough from anything on earth that at least they felt novel and innovative.
That's kind of exactly what I don't like about it and part of why I call it a "space marines" series. Gene's vision is of a future where different life forms come together and work under a unified code and for the greater good. It's not about one person rising to power and being the hero.
It feels like they are trying to graft the Star Wars theme onto Star Trek with hand wavey magical "forces" that don't have even the most tenuous link to science, and singular heroes that make anything that's worth happening happen. The original series at least tried to give a nod to the scientific consensus and then try to extrapolate it out.
I dislike Discovery, not true to Gene's vision.
It stopped being sci-fi and started being fantasy when they started with magical tardigrades and "time bugs". The rest plays like a space marines series.
Edit: also the spark and flame throwers on the bridge make it look like GWAR concert.
Yeah but it sounds a lot better than "We've pursued a policy of understaffing to save costs".
Honestly I can't argue with that. That's the reality of the situation. But emotionally they still deserve a bigger piece of what they created.
The value of anything is what people are willing to pay for it, full stop.
The share price literally wouldn't be what it was if people weren't literally buying pieces of the company at that price. So it's very literally saying what the company is worth on the open market. Even with all your obfuscation, that's still the case.
The company's valuation in a public company reflects the price that people pay for shares, so it shows the value of the company on the open market. The employees created this value, so it does indicate how much they each created quite accurately. And you would think that they'd at least get a representative percentage of that at least. I mean if you paint a painting and someone pays $1m for it, you get $1m gross. You make the software and IP that's sold for $100m and you only get $100k a year, that's kinda wack.

But between 5-10 per cent of the population do not have the same experience of an inner voice, and they find it more difficult to perform certain verbal memory...

The Russian arms industry can produce 600 new tanks a year. This is really a huge number, underlining the industrial capabilities of Russia. However, it may also not be enough to keep the war in Ukraine going for many years to come. Russia's military industry is working overtime to support the war
