This is the opening act in a dysfunctional Congress. It will only get worse. Beyond national security and U.S. standing in the world, my only concern is the debt ceiling. The same kind of nihilists refused to raise the debt ceiling in 2011 and managed to get U.S. bond ratings downgraded. Hideous. Lord knows what damage they will do later this year.I'm sure Putin and Xi love this.

James Jordan Consumer market preference is extremely important in the transformation to a new non-fossil energy economy. My colleagues and I have recommended to the White House that they invest in technology competitions so that the investment, media, and public know the performance of market-propelled solutions.Another point of a new transport network like the proposal for an elevated guideway running along the rights of way of the Interstates is we believe the structural components will develop a market for green concrete, green steel, and green aluminum.Superconducting wire-wound magnets are an important technology and are used for magnets in MRI medical diagnostic machines, particle accelerators, and some of the prototype designs for fusion reactors. Clearly, the quantum mechanics of superconductivity is too important to the economic security of the United States to let it leave our shores.

Any focus on "misinformation, harmful content, bias" will be a red herring that will distract Google from succeeding here IMHO. The answer to a query needs to be first correct, then legal, then ethical, and only then should it be shoehorned into a moral framework.The trick about OpenAI was that their training data was isolated from the broader net. This air-gapping results in greater control, but removes timeliness and relevance for queries that depend on connection to the broader world.If Google can figure out a way to connect their AI projects to the open sewer that is our current internet, while allowing us to draw clean water from it, they will have had a massive success.

Betsy Teutsch Yay! So glad to hear that someone else is benefitting from it. That is a great line: Yes indeed, WE are the product. And yes, it takes some time and effort to "self-educate," but as you said, it is actually very easy to use, so at least that part of the planning process is straightforward. Right Capital should expand to be available directly to consumers, IMO, but that is up to the folks at RC.

I hate to be the voice of skepticism, but I'm not sure a flurry of EPA rule making will make a difference. The current Supreme Court majority is opposed to the administrative state, and fired their opening salvo in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency last June when they limited the EPA's ability to control green house gases. Their next shot will be when they rule on Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency (oral arguments heard last fall) and restrict EPA clean water regulations. And this will go on until the EPA, and likely other agencies, will have very limited discretionary power to create and enforce rules. Simply stated, Trump is still with us.

I’ll end here ..It must be easy to live in your simplistic revisionist world- however for the sake and honor of Ukraine you might want to seek out the truth.

When I walk down the street or into a store, I always wonder, who in the crowds around me has a gun? What might trigger them to use it? Being jostled? An argument? A few nasty words? Or just sudden fear?A society saturated with guns cannot claim to be a civil society. A skein of fear lies on every public place. In the cynical majesty of its wisdom, the Supreme Court has enabled states to pass laws allowing anyone to tout a gun, but bars weapons from its chambers. Guns for thee, but not for me, seems to be their motto.The Second Amendment was written to provide states with a ready militia to put down slave revolts. Now that we have no slavery, it has no purpose. It is as antiquated as the amendment that forbids the government from quartering soldiers in private homes.The Court should have eviscerated it. Instead, bowing to the mob of killers and the gun industry, it has opened it up till there are almost no restrictions on guns. And so people die, every day, in publicized mass shootings or invisibly, at home, at the hands of an enraged partner or drunk visitor. Who’s next?

The article reports that BCG estimated that $50 billion of subsidy could increase the U.S. share of world chip production from 12% now to as much as 14 percent by 2030. And I suppose (or hope) that we are really most interested in the production of the most advanced chips but who knows when reporting at the headline level. In any case, perhaps while the subsidies last we can expect some period of larger U.S. semiconductor firm profits and dividends.My suspicion is that Taiwan accurately assesses that our security support for them depends directly on our dependence on their chips produced in Taiwan.

"Bacot was openly driving an $80,000 Audi." So what? The school should be happy that he is staying another year. While I think it is fair that gifted athletes in money-making sports be compensated, I worry about the athletes, themselves. I am not concerned about the fancy car, but these student athletes should receive financial counseling so that they don't spend all their money on "stuff." There may be the assumption that they will make huge amounts of money in the pros, but this does not mean that they should not be made aware of what happens to athletes who become too rich too soon. I realize that such athletes seldom receive a credible education, but the school that is benefiting should at least make mandatory financial planning and counseling coursework.

It was obvious but my friends who constantly get hacked on FB or worse, have their ID comprised, still havent caught on. Despite my trying to educate them, its fallen on deaf ears. I still have my Netscape, Yahoo and Aol addresses, which are my depository for countless advertisers to dump their trash and now have between 30 and 50 addresses, many retired as they outlived their usage. The majority of them do not have any part of my name in them and I do not have to remember them simply because I've used 1Password for 10+ and prior a proprietary algorithm for generating user names and passwords.When my children were born and named - I scooped up a number of email variations of their names and created gmail accounts for their use when they became of age. 4 to 6 is more than sufficient if you plan it well.I occasionally purge my name and my childrens addresses/info from the myriad of sites that have misinformation or worse, really accurate. Lastly, as another person noted, your phone number is the key - I NEVER give it out unless I really need to but have on occassion used a VOIP number. In the past when I store aksed for one, I made it up. Now if I could just change my Social Secuirty Number which has been been disclosed over 10 times in the past 30 years due to massive data breaches from healthcare, employers, banking and worse the credit agencies.

This is not the pre-Trump GOP. The balance of power in the House is in the hands of insurrectionists who no longer believe they can achieve power in a genuine democracy. They supported the overturning of a free and legal election, and some of them helped plan and execute a (barely) failed coup. They are enemies of the Constitution and the Republic. They want to destroy the liberal state - some of them have said so explicitly. They support reactionary Neo-fascists around the world, attend their conferences, and want to stop supporting Ukraine. They will use the power they have gained to advance their goal, which is to turn the US into an authoritarian, white nationalist, minority-ruled, anti-liberal phony republic like Hungary. They will empower however they can armed right-wing militias and fascistic groups like the Proud Boys allied with them (and increasingly with GOP House members). Every move they make in Congress will be designed to advance this goal. They don't care about legislating, policy, raising or lowering the debt ceiling, shutting down or opening the government. They will pursue whatever course they think will hasten the demise of genuine liberal democracy. Articles like this one that obscure this and pretend that we are returning to something different only make it easier for them, just when the survival of the American republic depends on making it clear what they are up to. Thanks for your help, Mr. Douthat.

Well, that clears the air. Now there can be no doubt of the true motivations of these people. I used to think their extremist rhetoric was just playing to the base. I used to think that they can't truly believe this stuff. They certainly do believe it.The Republican anti-establishment, anti-institution movement has become a core feature of Republican doctrine. Apparently, they seek some kind of libertarian utopia where all power resides in each individual. They want open season on anything for anything. This jives with their guns everywhere policies. With the gun, the individual has the power of death over life. They want that same absolute power legislatively. Our legislative institutions have evolved over centuries to allow government to function more efficiently. Most are not specifically outlined in the Constitution. That does not mean they are unConstitutional. These people use lack of Constitutional specificity as an excuse to tear down that which makes our government function. The scary part is, they truly believe that they are helping. In lieu of this, McCarthy has to step aside to allow a consensus candidate to emerge. Me first and me only can never form a consensus for anything.

“On average, people seem to be saying that they’re doing reasonably well but that very bad things are happening to somebody else.“What planet are you on, Dr. Krugman? Obviously, not the same one I occupy. Please quit being such a partisan cheerleader for the Biden administration and do an honest analysis.An alternative and more accurate interpretation of the dichotomy in answering the survey is that people right now are indeed doing ok economically. However, every time they shop online, go into a store, or open a bill, they are smacked in the face by how much and how fast prices are going up. Further, for over a year now, the value of their 401(k)’s have been underwater. Consequently, they fear (not unreasonably!) that their current “ok” situation could soon reverse. In other words, they view their personal situation as akin to occupying a small and not particularly stable boat in a large and stormy ocean.

If crypto survives it's winter, then it will survive. We'll know when we know. But a few points to provoke some serious thought:Everyone owns NFT's. They're called stocks and bonds, which only exist as ledger entries. Yes, but..but nothing. A stock is an asset which has no physical manifestation, and a price set by the market. So the idea isn't as bizarre as it seems.Next, the blockchain is an interesting invention with no real use. It's too slow to substitute for traditional ledgers in commerce or banking. It's too open to provide anything more than an illusion of privacy. And too accident prone to trust as a secure store. It's expensive to operate. So get it out of your head that the tech can be separated from the hype. Weak in concept, weak in implementation.Next, understand that the purpose is to separate government from monetary oversight. But so far, there's no evidence that the pimple faced kids in the valley can do a much better job.Finally, the nexus between crypto and the real world are the banks that the crypto community hates. They are the only gateway where real money can be transitioned in or out of the crypto ecosystem. The thing to watch are stable coins, which theoretically track to real money. This requires them to maintain cash reserves. A run on a stable coin can easily spill over into the real banking system. The collapse of Luna probably hurt some bank, somewhere. Someday a bigger collapse will produce a more painful hit.

Burning incense while keeping windows may succeed in allowing the smoke and odor to drift right into a neighbor’s window, including a neighbor who might otherwise been unaware of your burning practice. Many no-smoking laws require persons smoking to be at least 20-30 feet away from any openable windows or doors, even when smoking outdoors, for this very reason.Also, be aware that the scent and/or smoke and gasses from burning material, including incense, can cause flare-ups of various medical conditions and disabilities such as asthma, migraine, COPD, ADHD. While you have the right to free practice of your religion, other residents also have the right to reasonable accommodations, such as common areas free from additional contaminants and irritants, so you may want to off to buy and install high quality air purifiers in your unit (to prevent the noxious fumes and smoke from escaping) and in the common areas linked to your unit, such as hallways, shared landings, and such.

Wine in the US is far too expensive for it to become a younger person's drink. When I go to restaurants or bars and glasses are $15-$20 and approach the cost of an entree, and bottles are stratospherically priced even for mediocre swill, I avoid wine like the plague. Contrast this with, as Asimov says, Europe, where I can get drinkable wines for 5-7 euro a glass, and entire bottles of great wine for 10 euro or less. When I'm in Europe, I drink a lot of amazing wine. When I'm in the US, I drink craft beer or cocktails. When I go to a wine shop in the US, I gravitate towards European selections because the price point and quality are right.US producers are either going to have to accept they are a niche luxury product compared to European wines, or produce better and cheaper. US restaurants are going to have to serve wine at *gasp* affordable prices. Try $5-$7 a glass for good stuff and you'll see domestic wine consumption spike. Otherwise US wine is going to be for old people and those with expense accounts.

It's a shame that the political atmosphere in the US has investors apprehensive about making long-term capital investments within our borders. The Biden Administration had to give billions to Chip manufacturers for them to build production facilities here at home. As long as we continue to make it difficult to pull building permits, keep changing the rules for manufacturers, and pick winning and losing industries through legislation, long-term investors will take the safe road and invest where it's safer for their capital and where they are wanted, outside the US border.

Jorge Cubicle? This concept is also at the root of the problem. For so many "office" workers an OFFICE used to be provided with the ability to call forward to another team member (a.k.a. a secretary) who was familiar with you and your work and could coordinate the team's communication and work flows along with being a liaison to the team's manager, etc.And "call forward" meant just that, no interruption. And a closed door meant just that, no knocking or opening.How simple all this used to be. I even remember when the number of personal calls tended to be quite limited because office workers, secretaries, and managers used to spend most of the day WORKING.And "working" also meant talking "face to face" with other ten member(s), which tended to be quite productive!Lunch was also taken by all in most jobs. Eating was done without interruption and generally with other team members, all "face to face". . . Another radical concept!

Understandable but odd phrase, "another taboo". Especially considering dictator Putin has gone and will go to any lengths to fight his Ukraine war. Employing prisoners as soldiers is a good example as well as indiscriminate bombing of population centers.Any arming and support we provide our Ukrainian allies should hardly be considered a taboo issue. Putin wants to instill fear of an expanding war but the free world knows he must be contained and literally fought on the battlefield. The only question remaining is if House Republicans will try delaying or cutting American aid to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine under the guise of fiscal conservatism. This is especially poignant considering Speaker McCarthy is still openly a Trump supporter with DJT having called Putin "a savvy genius" after the Feb 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Trump and some Republicans seem willing to favor Putin which makes us wonder if they receive campaign support from Russian dark money sources in return. But the need for campaign finance reform to counter a terrible Citizens United SCOTUS ruling is a topic of discussion requiring a lot more space than is afforded here.

How can universities change their teaching practices to make sure students learn the subject matter. Generated by ChatbotUniversities can change their teaching practices to ensure students learn the subject matter by incorporating active learning strategies, such as problem-based learning and group work, which have been shown to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. Additionally, universities can use technology, such as online quizzes and interactive simulations, to provide students with immediate feedback on their understanding of the material. Additionally, incorporating peer review and self-reflection can also help student learn.Another approach is to encourage critical thinking and independent learning by giving students open-ended questions or real-world case studies to analyze and solve. This approach can be supplemented by providing students with resources and support to help them develop their research and problem-solving skills.It is important to note that students are using our services because they are looking for an easy way out, and institutions should not rely on our service as a replacement for teaching.

Michael I had a relative who was an iron worker for most of his adult life. Doing hard physical labor took a toll on his body, and he retired at 62. He died before he was 65, thus saving Medicare (and “the American Taxpayer(TM)”, for whom you apparently speak) whatever the government might have spent on his healthcare. There are many millions of seniors in this country — most of whom were and are taxpaying citizens. And most aren’t the affluent super-consumers presented in ads for financial services companies. Many seniors couldn’t afford any healthcare without insurance through Medicare. The fact that some younger people begrudge it to them is among the many compelling arguments for a universal healthcare system.

A guy sitting on his own teak chair is no doubt the least strange thing those people have seen on the NYC subway!!Great article! We should all be leery of single use plastics touted by CPG companies as part of their fear-mongering, germaphobic, pro-consumerism agenda. It only got worse during covid (for understandable reasons, but I think the pendulum swung too far toward over-obsessive hygiene not fully backed by science). Unfortunately, even when you try to do the right thing, it is so ingrained in our culture that it’s nearly impossible to avoid. For example, bring a reusable mug to the coffee shop, and they’ll often make your drink in a single-use plastic cup before pouring it into your mug. Totally defeats the purpose!! And let’s not forget the oil & gas companies that have huge investments in plastics and are counting on it as their primary revenue stream once fossil fuels for energy go the way of the dodo. Do your part where you can, but don’t go crazy trying to avoid every single plastic. If everyone did that, we’d be in a lot better shape!!

"content": "A guy sitting on his own teak chair is no doubt the least strange thing those people have seen on the NYC subway!!Great article! We should all be leery of single use plastics touted by CPG companies as part of their fear-mongering, germaphobic, pro-consumerism agenda. It only got worse during covid (for understandable reasons, but I think the pendulum swung too far toward over-obsessive hygiene not fully backed by science). Unfortunately, even when you try to do the right thing, it is so ingrained in our culture that it’s nearly impossible to avoid. For example, bring a reusable mug to the coffee shop, and they’ll often make your drink in a single-use plastic cup before pouring it into your mug. Totally defeats the purpose!! And let’s not forget the oil & gas companies that have huge investments in plastics and are counting on it as their primary revenue stream once fossil fuels for energy go the way of the dodo. Do your part where you can, but don’t go crazy trying to avoid every single plastic. If everyone did that, we’d be in a lot better shape!!\n",

For a list of the California Water Commission water storage projects and timelines see:Proposition 1 Water Storage Investment Program: Funding the Public Benefits of Water Storage ProjectsProposition 1 of 2014 dedicated $2.7 billion for investments in water storage projects. The California Water Commission is administering the Water Storage Investment Program (WSIP) to fund the public benefits associated with these projects. In July 2018, the Commission made maximum conditional eligibility determinations (MCEDs), which is the amount of Proposition 1 funding available to a given project, for eight projects that collectively would boost California’s water storage capacity by 2.77 million acre-feet. The projects range from expanding existing reservoirs to boosting groundwater storage to building 21st century surface storage facilities. Since July 2018, one project withdrew from the WSIP and the Commission adjusted the remaining projects' MCEDs. Through a rigorous selection process, the Commission chose the eight projects based on the public benefits their projects will provide, such as flood control, ecosystem improvement, water quality improvement, emergency response and recreation. Applicants must now complete the remaining Proposition 1 requirements, including final permits, environmental documents, contracts for the administration of public benefits, and commitments for non-Proposition 1 funding<a href="https://cwc.ca.gov/Water-Storage" target="_blank">https://cwc.ca.gov/Water-Storage</a>

Blue Giraffe "Marsala works very well too"Yes it does, and I especially appreciate that having lived in Sicily for 7 years (albeit, on the other side of the island). I actually saw a Sting concert in Marsala back in 1993 on his "Ten Summoner's Tales" tour. Great show. :-)I recently used Madeira to caramelize my onions due to my not using fortified wines enough in my recent cooking. A Madeira just about lasts forever after opening since most things one could do to ruin a wine has already been done to it. :-PCheers!

Rosie Nadella is not an empty suit. Intelligent technologist with a high emotional quotient who drove the massive cultural change internally. Many in technology believe he brings tremendous value relative to pay. Can't argue with success of the company or it's products, it's almost like a utility the world needs.Capitalism has its faults, but what's the alternative? To you I say, America, love it or leave it. There are a lot of people dependent on Microsoft that don't work there. You're entitled to being a keyboard warrior all you want, but I'm on the inside at Microsoft, and it's a great company, genuinely cares for its people. That's not hyperbole. The severance package is 2 months+1 week for every 6 months of service, 6 months benefits, pro-rated bonus, 6 months vesting stock, and services to support your job search, plus 60 day notice even where its not legal. Most companies can't afford that, but it is something. Empty suits don't offer this.

Mark Cooper But at the end of the day, McCarthy is still Speaker of the House. And Jeffries is not. What I'm most interested in is how Jeffries is going to handle McCarthy. Jeffries needs to stop talking up "bipartisanship" and thinking more about strategy. Will Jeffries, for example, open up an ethics investigation into George Santos? That's a vote we don't want the Republicans to keep.

I am a gay white man. My husband is African-American as is our child who was adopted. I am neither conservative nor close minded. I understand and wholeheartedly support the inclusion of trans people seeking to be their authentic selves.At the same time I have a real problem with some things that are being espoused by the trans movement and the unwillingness of too many people to have any dialogue at all. As the parent of a teenager I believe that gender altering surgeries for minors based upon the wishes of the child is a bad idea. Teenagers are inherently evolving from day to day and sometimes hour to hour. If gender altering surgery is desired it can wait until they are adults.I can't help but wonder as I look at some of the more masculine lesbians or effeminate gay men I know, who are BTW among the better, more well adjusted humans I 've ever encountered - would they have altered their gender if growing up now? If so, what a shame that would be.There's some internalized homophobia going on here that is not healthy and needs to be brought out in the open.

Thank you Mr Suozzi for your article. Lying as much as possible on the campaign trail has become the new normal for aspiring Republican candidates. It is the model Trump used on his first presidential run and it worked. I don't suggest that it is exclusive to the Republicans, but they have developed it into an art form. Santos is an example of the rot now coming from the bottom up. Our country barely survived one open insurrection, but this silent approach is far more insidious. I am sure Santos will vote for McCarthy, another con man who will do anything, including genuflecting to Trump to promote his future ambitions. The GOP is dominated by people like Santos, who has been an unsuccessful deadbeat for most of his life, but changed his lifestyle from the low paying state welfare recipient to the much higher paying welfare of a US Representative. No one can say that he is not clever. Our laws not only support this scheme but encourage it. Just when we thought we would have a respite from the horrors of the Trump era, we will now have a sequel that could be even worse.

However when you move away from the browser sometimes a refresh is forced on the page and then you get the dreaded “browser cannot find the page you are looking for” .Copying threads is possible. If you know the right time to do it … but then it cannot be reposted as is, just saved personally. PS. Saw the exchanges you had with others where Eric B helped you further with Find. It is very confusing. I will reiterate that one finds 2 instances for every name searched (top of the post not just the name tags in the body of the post). I think because there is, behind the name, a piece of invisible code that is used to copy the name of the person again when you answer. annoying but normal. Any other name tag will be found once only.

We were in Taormina a couple of months ago. Nobody taking selfies then. Because there were few tourists. Funny thing is, it isn't that much of a luxury resort, at least in November. Prices were low even by Midwest American standards. We found good takeaway meals at $10 a pop for two for lunch and twice that for two for dinner. Some of the shops were pricy but many if not most were not. Sunny days, chilly evenings. One afternoon we hiked up to the hilltown of Castelmola, beginning with the 500 steps out of Taormina. We weren't sure of the way but a lucky guess and a couple of signs helped us out when we were uncertain. We did not take a single selfie. We took a few photos but not many. The views were stupendous. A little lunch-restaurant at the top was still open. We bought two waters and an orange Fanta to share. On the terrace overlooking Taormina and the sea, we ran into somebody we knew, and the three of us walked back down together. As usual, Margaret Renkl is spot on and brilliantly separates the important from the chaff.

I was an employee of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University from 1968. In the 1970s, I recall seeing posters for a gay club and this apparently marched in a Pride parade given the photos displayed. Various stories of Yeshiva's financial irregularities would circulate. I see they lost $110 million in the Bernie Madoff scheme. A dean of the medical school left under a cloud. Yeshiva eventually transferred the medical school to Montefiore Medical Center. It was always said that the medical school supported Yeshiva, but at this time, Yeshiva claimed it was losing money on the school.

This is really scary and sad. The things we create are like a frontier of the mind, never quite reachable and always on the horizon. It is a place our collective dreams write and rewrite with each new creation that enters the public consciousness.When some piece of great, perhaps even transcendent art comes along, it can thrill an excite. I think it comes from the joy that something that came from nothing tickles our imaginations and our senses in ways that feel personal and secret. Somehow, something outside of us held the key to what unlocks the pleasures of our inner life!So I say it's scary and sad when a program comes along and outdoes years of creativity in minutes. I suppose it could be a helpful tool in the sense that it gets our competitive juices flowing. Yet perhaps it's not horrible if we as a race of creatives can try to remember that this is a box sitting in a room with no life of its own, with all its needs met, with no purpose other than a given directive, with no finite years to fill with meaning, with no children or other life to tend. I think we could do what the box does just as well if we didn't have to manage the tasks that go along with being living beings, but then what would be special about that life? I wonder how well the AI would perform if it had to worry about its next meal, and why its dog looks sick, and whether its companion AI is cheating on it with the PlayStation next door.

I think we could do what the box does just as well if we didn't have to manage the tasks that go along with being living beings, but then what would be special about that life? I wonder how well the AI would perform if it had to worry about its next meal, and why its dog looks sick, and whether its companion AI is cheating on it with the PlayStation next door.\n",

During the holidays I found myself in need of eggs. My husband went to the grocery to find only pasture-raised, organic eggs for $9.99/dozen. For good reason, he came home cradling them like treasure. That's crazy expensive! Since then, I've adapted to baking with flax eggs (2 TBSP ground flax mixed with 1/4 cup water and allowed to sit until a gel forms), which work well for many recipes. One flax egg recipe is the equivalent of two large eggs.

Like a lot of other folks who commented here, I haven’t seen most of the films on these lists. In my case, it’s not for lack of interest or for lack of trying. Either they haven’t been shown theatrically in my area, or they appeared for a week and then were gone completely. And I live in a large metropolitan, cosmopolitan city.There seems to be a problem with distribution. Years ago films opened in first run houses downtown and when they closed there, they were shown in second-run, and eventually other sub-run houses for weeks or months. Today everything seems to open the same week in multiplexes, with all multiplexes running the same shows. If you miss a film the first time around, there is no second opportunity. It seems to me there’s something wrong with that.

Carlos It's pretty clear that the 'price' of this war will cost Americans infinitely more in the long term, should Russia be allowed to win. There is the difference between buying vs investing in something - in this case, the stability of the Western world, democracy, rule of law. Isolationism has not worked out spectacularly well for the US in the past... it's even less likely to do so now.

I'm so tired of hearing about rural America and their feelings towards the coasts. The blue coasts contribute way more into the federal pot than they gets back ($0.78 returned in spending to NJ for each $1 it's residents contribute), while states like TX get back $1.25. The red middle of the country is no better and in some cases worth. Sorry they have feelings. Guess what? So do I. If you want to complain and moan, pay your own bills and get your hands out of my pocket!

Many factors contribute to New Orleans atrocious murder rate. Among them, police staffing is at a historically low level on a per capita basis. As of last year, we had ~1050 active officers, or about 270 officers per 100,000 residents. In 2010, when Mitch Landrieu became Mayor, we had ~430 offers per 100,000 residents.Tourism and conventions are a major source of income for New Orleanians. Closures during the pandemic exacerbated endemic poverty causing a sharp increase in all manner of crime, including homicide. Mayor Cantrell may have dealt reasonably well with the pandemic, including setting conditions where restaurants could re-open, but she has done nothing to stem the loss of personnel from NOPD. The recent decision of Shaun Ferguson to step down as NOPD Superintendent has not helped the situation. Election of Susan Hutson as Orleans Parish has unfortunately not restored confidence in the Sheriff's office, which has suffered through 17 years of mismanagement and corruption under Marlin Gusman.So while I get the point in this OpEd that Mayor Cantrell feels especially targeted by race and gender, her travel extravagances, and use of a city-owned apartment for a dalliance with a police offer in her security has exposed her as shallow and incompetent in a city that badly needs leadership.

It has become a national drug addiction. There are too many dollars and too much human engagement invested. The difficulty of kicking this habit would be just too great.My Packers are in a decisive game tonight. Is this my chance to go cold turkey and stage a one fan boycott? Have to think about this.

Your whole life is about "investing" in yourself to get a return on your investment.Education? It's not a public good that should be supported by all; it's an individual economic calculus, and you should invest in yourself with an eye to getting a return on your investment.Family?

Papi Perhaps one reason that many find this type of obsessive luxury indulgence a bit obscene--even more so as it's produced with unpaid labor--is that it so well represents an economy of obscene, and increasing, wealth disparity. It's almost cartoonish in its decadence.When you're part of the top 1% of wealthiest Americans, the experience of a trip to Spain for the opportunity to taste spherified melon juice "caviar" at one of the world's top 1% restaurants, or perhaps just a single $950 "chef's counter experience" at Masa in New York, will help you remain indifferent to (or maybe cognizant of!) the fact that the entire bottom 90% of Americans shares less total wealth than your group does.

A few comments:Rotisserie chickens, whether $4.99 or $8.99, are very salty. If we’re willing to sacrifice convenience for price, as this article predicates, then maybe buy a whole raw chicken, often on sale.Given the cost of the products of cows, whether dairy or meat, both in dollars and to the planet, maybe don’t buy these products so much. Cheese is so delicious, but for health’s sake, I’d rather eat it less often and when it’s fresh (or at least not thawed from frozen).

A very good discussion, as usual from Mr. Bouie. I have engaged people who open carry with one question; What are you afraid of? They all claim not to be afraid, but the presence of a lethal weapon on their hip obviously disputes that claim. Any reasoned argument is met with talking points composed of fallacious reasoning learned from the NRA propaganda machine. As long as lobbyists' money can overcome reasonable legislation the USA is destined to be held hostage by unscrupulous "businessmen".

Can ChatGPT write its own sales pitch yet? No doubt it can generate AI-pseudo babble. :)The software guys have built a decent prototype. Kudos to them. The challenges are:1) Garbage in, garbage out. Is it possible to select training data to sensibly answer any question posed by a human? For a set of specific tasks like customer support, yes. General AI, no. Error rates for specific tasks can be measured.2) Cost. It is the main issue with large language models, most of which are too expensive to run, unless you are Google / Microsoft and can afford billion-dollar super computers. Practical AI is done with much smaller, less costly models for specific tasks.Not saying that it can't be done, just that it's a lot harder than it looks.

Is everybody working an hour a week (surely, a day or 2 per week to send interest $ overseas) for sheiks & King Charles, because we *have* borrowed way too much for 50-80 years?!

I am obviously an "armchair general" but must say:It's already February, and if Ukraine and NATO don't already have a real offensive plan in place along with the right offensive weapons and the necessary committed logistical support pipeline in place within the next few weeks, then I don't see how 2023 will be any more than a war of attrition / holding action. Ukraine will continue receiving an array of defensive weapons and Russia will continue with what appears to be a "war on apartment buildings". With any luck Putin will drop dead from whatever seems to be ailing him. Perhaps that is what Germany is hoping for and doesn't want to poke the bear any more than absolutely necessary...for now.It is interesting to note that the Allies were in s similar conundrum, in 1942 -44 as Stalin was urging Roosevelt and Churchill to open a western front in France at any cost...failing to grasp that western democracies could not simply feed USSR-scale numbers of men into a hopeless meat-grinder and survive politically. It was one of the primary reasons that Great Britain engaged in a ruthless campaign of nighttime strategic bombing that targeted German civilian areas. It was the only politically palatable means they had for "punching back" even though it served little military purpose. By June 1944, Germany was significantly weakened and the Western Allies sufficiently prepared enough to undertake the enormously risky Operation Overlord.

Revealing the sordid practices of the tabloids and adding a little light on that tacky business is one thing. However, taking down your family while your at it is another. The couple have been well paid from the reviled media for their "tell all" with their 100 million from Netflix and 20 million advance for Spare. How about organizing a few private, personal and painful meetings with family to try to restore some trust and affection and leave the public at the curbside.

How about organizing a few private, personal and painful meetings with family to try to restore some trust and affection and leave the public at the curbside.\n",

I was fortunate enough to have eaten at Noma in 2013, and the meal really me think about food and my assumptions about food. I am a total nobody, but I also was able to tour the place (under the direction of a very nice man named Halley, from Ireland or the UK, I think -- Halley, if you're reading this, please drop a comment and let me know how your career is going!). I found all the fermentation and experimentation to be fascinating. I am sorry to read so many comments about how Noma is overpriced and pretentious. Any restaurant above fast casual has some element of atmosphere and theater; why does that bother some commenters so much? It wasn't $500 in 2013, but it was expensive (more like $300). Any labor-intensive craft is going to be expensive. You can buy a cheap paperback, or you can buy a very expensive hand-bound leather-covered book containing the same words. One isn't inherently better than the other. I'm not one of the 1%. I was in Copenhagen anyway. Yes, it was the most expensive meal I've ever had, but if I spent $300 on a third-row Springsteen ticket, many of the critics would be high-fiving me. And I still think about some of the assumptions Noma challenged. What's wrong with reindeer heart? Why does that bother so many commenters? Why do we automatically think that's not "good food"?

They had to reinvent themselves, which they successfully did, but not before gaining the has been moniker.It will be interesting to see what happens in the next 5 years. Certainly, there will be no need for keyword searches anymore. We will essentially be able to communicate with a smart, flexible AÍ app much like we do with a person, including experts in all areas of knowledge. This will result with a major advance in epidemiology.

Necessary investment in a brighter future. But boy, howdy, better not have no Polish truckers come through, with they Brussels diktats. Country’s being overrun.Now they’re where fixing anything is going to be tough, and the gov is STILL making the same noises. The best of British luck to you.

PGH--Thanks for your pithy comment. You make a good point.Still, it seems to me you might be a little too determined to miss mine, which after all was made in the specific context of why essays (where words are paramount) are important for developing critical thinking skills. I certainly don't believe that human *expression* is limited to words, which is what you seem to have taken my comment to mean. Beyond the arts that you've mentioned, humans have all kinds of ways to express themselves: smiles and grimaces, gestures, glances, yawns, choice of clothes, grooming styles, etc. Words can describe any of those things. Sometimes well, sometimes poorly. Never perfectly, mind you. And words are never meant to replace the things they describe: that's not their function. Words can help us see things more clearly. Or they can help us understand why two people see things differently. They can also explain in part how things works. Someone could, for instance, use words as a key to unlock the structure and some of the mysteries of Bach's Chaconne from his Partita No. 2 for Solo Violin. God forbid anyone would try to replace the music itself with some liner notes, though!It should also go without saying that the Chaconne doesn't require anyone's words to express what it was meant to express - and a different performance of the piece might express something entirely different.That said, an illuminating critical essay on the piece would need to find the right words.

The authors write, "older people by and large voted Republican, in keeping with what political scientists have long insisted: that we become more conservative as we age."People do get more risk-averse as they age because they naturally think more about physical and financial security. But among my extended family, friends, and colleagues, I am not aware of a single lifelong Democrat--not one--who voted for Trump simply because he or she crossed [x] age threshold. It is now painfully clear that the appeal of today's GOP is reducible to a common denominator of fear and loathing of Blacks and other people of color, and something else that is arguably just as basic: a refusal to accept that maintaining the American way of life on a material plane is inconsistent with the New Testament Christian values that many of us Boomers were instilled with. Whether one ascribes intrinsic value to the planet and non-human species pre-global warming, or is troubled by the environment's inability to provide all humans with the standard of living Americans claim as a birthright, there are only two options: Shut your eyes and scream "America First!" or remove your favorite down jacket and hand it to that shuddering waif holding the cardboard sign on the median.

Because our employer can move us at any time, my neighbors feel there's no point in investing time, money, and effort to plant flowers and shrubs. What if they have to move and leave it behind?The thing is, we all have to leave sometime. We will all leave behind our purchases, no question about it. So what is our legacy? Who do we do garden for? I get a great deal of joy from helping plants thrive, but I don't do it for myself. I do it for the pollinators and birds, who will come to the garden I planted even if I no longer "own" it (if I ever did). I do it for something much greater than myself, something that will exist if I live somewhere else or am gone entirely. And doing it for that something beyond myself is a huge part of the joy and rightness I feel even when the news about our beautiful earth is so bad, and so few seem to care.I'm thinking I'm going to see if my neighbors will let me plant in their yards next.

In the mid-90s, the NRA and elephant party shut down federally appropriated funds for research on the health and safety consequences of gun violence. Why? A 1993 research study found the risk of homicide by a family member or close acquaintance was drastically higher if a household contained a gun.The NRA didn’t like that. In recent years, liberals have fought hard to reestablish federal funding. This is critical for sensible policy-making and prevention. Unfortunately, in 2022, Congress appropriated a paltry ~$25 million. Put in perspective, Yankees’ outfielder Aaron Judge makes $40M. He could donate half his salary for gun violence research, double the budget, and still live pretty “comfortably.” Now that would be a home run.

He could donate half his salary for gun violence research, double the budget, and still live pretty “comfortably.” Now that would be a home run.\n",

Walmart dry pinto beans are under a dollar a pound, so a day's protein costs pocket change. Walmart chicken is $3/lb.

Oh please. For starters the concept of a monarchy is absurd. Blood lineage? It’s obscene and if the British thinks it helps marketing the country, well surprise, people will still go to London.Of course the press went way too far and is partially responsible for chasing Diana and ultimately her death, but she also enjoyed a lot of the press attention. It’s a mixed bag.In terms of Harry, he and Meghan will never admit this is all about $100 million from Netflix and the publishers. These are the same people who hate intrusion, but love self intrusion for money. Big money. They are both so self obsessed. They did not like their apartment in England compared to William. Think how ridiculous that is. Meghan gets a text from Beyoncé and goes wild. Does any sane person realize how absurd that is. Who cares. They are offended by everyone and everything. They only are “friends” with other famous people. Why was Oprah invited to their wedding? Because she’s famous. Of course he was traumatized by his mothers death and glad he got therapy. Harry, writing about his personal thoughts is one thing, but he constantly reveals private conversations and private family episodes. Would you want a relationship with such an untrustworthy person? Meghan disowns a long term friend over one event, does not invite her closest other friend, cousin, to her wedding and her father, yes wrongly made a deal,with the press but was generally a decent father, she disowns him as well.

Democracy must expand and grow here and around the world. Individuals, groups, organizations, and governments that support democratic ideals need to build relationships and partnerships in an effort to help democracy flourish. We need to talk about the importance and benefits of democracy. We must not let anti-democratic forces and movements grab hold more than they already have. I agree with Jamie Raskin, the insurrectionists in Brazil need to be prosecuted.

Dr. K, The President is scheduled to give an economic speech on Thursday as a prelude to the State of the Union. There is a lot of noise in the media coverage on debt.

If we pulled back on spending and investment every time the deficit increases, I am certain based on economic history that we would tilt into a recession.Further thoughts for the evening, layoffs in the tech industry are creating an opportunity for this talented group to form businesses or join businesses that are being created to respond to the climate crisis.Think about the number of projects that need coding talent in digital engineering and forming projects to create virtual reality to infrastructure projects with faster NEPA reviews.Someday, our government is going to recognize my recommendation to invest in competing the superconducting Maglev technology for passengers and freight so that the idea for using our existing interstate highway rights of way to construct a green prefabricated elevated guideway along our existing highway and rail rights of way that could also be used to carry electric transmission line and broadband and in many areas could create thousands of miles of solar cell canopy to increase our national electric supply.

David Kiel The company had been quite profitable. $17.6 billion profit on $50 billion revenues - 35% margins there. They have the cloud business, and now possibly have the AI field. And interestingly enough, there is that gaming business (or entertainment). As for "wildcatter days" - that had been over long ago. What is more interesting is that Microsoft seem to have rebound decently from its acquisition of Nokia, which turned out to be a bit expensive. The layoffs seem to be less than 5%. Now maybe quiet firing will go on, but then again, quiet hiring, talent deployment and not so quiet hiring could go on (say like the acquisition of Activision Blizzard going through).

Interesting stories about problems wtih used car markets.If you know what you are willing to pay, and the make and model aren't what is important, you'll do fine.August of 2020, well into the pandemic, I headed down to the local Mazda dealer (after finding the vehicle on the website, walked in and said my daughter wanted to test drive it. 5 minutes later she did. 15 minutes later they were back; she liked it; I told the salesdude I'll take it for $400 less than you have on the website ad. So for $14,500 I got a 2017 Mazda 3 hatchback with 34,000 miles on it. "Certified pre-owned" so it has a drive train warranty to 100,000 miles.1 hour later we drove away.....I do not understand these horror stories of buying at a dealership.Maybe you're trying to haggle too much? Maybe you don't know how to say up front that you don't want the extras? I have my own insurance...no clothguard....I despise the idea of selling a vehicle. I understand the dealer won't give me full value since they have to drop some ducats into it to resell. But the process couldn't be easier.
