"We invented a new kind of calculator. It usually returns the correct value for the mathematics you asked it to evaluate! But sometimes it makes up wrong answers for reasons we don't understand. So if it's important to you that you know the actual answer, you should always use a second, better calculator to check our work."

Then what is the point of this new calculator?

Fantastic comment, from the article.

Lol it's a lyric from dead prez, wouldn't get bent out of shape about it. Literally written in 2000 - I can't even find stats that old 🤷

Okay this sounds interesting as a short term solution (though I don't see what the medium and long term solutions will be) - I'd be interested in knowing what companies are benefiting from this and how much, etc and what the transition plans will be.

But there is one majorly fucked up part of the plan: this is an untested methodology, so they're testing it under the homes of black and poor communities. Louisianan does not disappoint.

Going to go away and read about this. As a Brit living in Spain, I know very little about the ins and outs of what's going on there.

Kinda like the Imperial measurement system, if you are being compared to Myanmar then perhaps stop?

There's a reason the average black male spends 1/3 of their life in prison in America.

And then has the right to vote taken away when they get out....

Same thing that happens when other slaves are hurt or killed on the job.

Not a hell of a lot.

carbon capture facilities

These are a known scam, by the way. It's just repackaging a technique oil companies already use to squeeze more oil out of the same fields and charge the government and consumers for the pleasure of feeling like they've done something.

Are those labels really needed?
