Look, I’m just quoting Wikipedia. It seems like you have an argument with them.

Your quote is followed with

According to The New York Times, “Big legislation largely eludes Mr. Sanders because his ideas are usually far to the left of the majority of the Senate … Mr. Sanders has largely found ways to press his agenda through appending small provisions to the larger bills of others.”[146] […] Nevertheless, he has sponsored over 500 amendments to bills,[148] many of which became law.

I’m quoting Wikipedia, and that Wikipedia entry has such a list

More importantly, no more creepy comments about Ivanka. Now we know why: Ivanka is too old for Trump

Let me quote just one line from the Wikipedia entry

Sanders is credited with influencing a leftward shift in the Democratic Party after his 2016 presidential campaign

You can also look at his legislative history to see that he’s been pretty successful pulling progressive Democrats along, regardless of not changing the electoral system or getting nominated

Without support from the House and Senate, a 3rd party president would be powerless.

Or consider it from the other direction. In a party line vote on new policy, imagine if the difference was a couple green or progressive congressmen instead of the Manchins of the world

The debates define rules ensuring only serious candidates join the debate - third parties need enough votes to be in the race. I’m aware that I’m letting them off the hook, but I don’t know a better solution. While it would be better to include third party candidates, we also don’t want many non-serious ones

I thought it was just getting good.

I never actually had an account or much inclination to use it but it seemed like the first online service ubiquitous enough for local government and business notifications. In that sense, it was just starting to be a real benefit for an informed populace

However downvoting as that seemed more like a prerequisite to your posted opinion - I’ll agree that it’s fine for all the loonies to rant at each other there, but that makes the opinion “popular” …… crap, wrong community

I’d never justify that urge to spend ridiculous money updating every year to the latest and greatest, but people tend to under appreciate the massive improvements from accumulated incremental improvements.

OLED screen on my iPhone X was revolutionary (and I’m sure Android had it first), as just one example, and now most phones are. Personally I find ultrawideband and “find my” very innovative and well implemented. Or if that’s too small a change, how about the entire revolution of Apple designing their own SoC for every new model. There’s emergency satellite texting, fall/crash detection, even Apple mostly solving phone theft is innovative (even if you don’t like their approach)

When we see steady improvements, humans tend to under-appreciate how it adds up

The first one was clearly a miscommunication leaving a gap. Someone needed to be fired over that.

Unless there is more since the press conference, this one seems to have been well handled. There is no way to secure an entire golf course, unless Trump was willing to goto Camp David so they covered around him and ahead of him. Last I heard, the guy never had an opportunity to shoot. An agent clearing ahead of Trump spotted the shooter and laid down suppressing fire making the guy run

Just like always, it depends on how you define or redefine ai. For example, what used to be called ai has been very successful in photo processing. The same thing is going to happen: some portion or incarnation of the current generative ai will be successful, but it will be dismissed similar to “it’s just machine learning, not ai”

I have a lot of hope for Apple’s approach, where they are incorporating it as tools into specific capabilities, and prioritizing privacy. While there’s no direct profit, it should help sell a lot more devices with ever higher tech specs. I also like their “private cloud” model that has a lot of potential beyond private ai

I understand you don’t appreciate where we’ve come from and how fast, can’t see the year to years changes, but the iPhone is just a little over ten years old. Do you really not see huge changes between an early iPhone and today’s?

It very much comes down to how you use them. Within my household, I don’t think I’ve ever had an Apple cable go bad. However I’ve had third party bad from purchase, and my teens go through cables every 6-12 months.

What kind of abuse do your cables go through?

• do you pull from the hard plastic or the cable?
• are they on the floor being stepped on or with chairs rolling over them?
• when carrying are they just stuffed in your backpack or neatly rolled up in a plastic pocket or in a baggie?
• when tangled, do you just pull harder or do you untangle?

I mostly agree but go the step farther that the danger is pushed back a bit once he’s gone, because what other candidate wouldn’t have his own plan? His own goals? Anyone else would see that merely as a means to an end, and take only the compatible pieces

And where you go. How can you pee on a hydrant in front of a baseball game while dressed as a hotdog and NOT expect to be eaten. It’s all their fault. They should have dressed more modestly or have been more careful where they go

I so hope you’re right, but so far whatever twisted version of reality we’re in has them eating out of his hand

For the current coffee, 56¢/k-cup, so about $25/mon

I’m waiting to read that since they didn’t have a code of conduct, how could they have known?

How could any suspect that accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes gifts would present a conflict of interest?

True enough, but between higher costs of drilling plus yet more cost for fracking, US oil is more expensive. US drillers can only be profitable if they can sell at a fairly high rate. OPEC can flood the market to lower all prices while still making a small profit, yet US drillers would be losing money

But OPEC is the solution to that. If OPEC were willing to take the hit, they can still profit even with a surplus large enough to lower prices and drive frackers out of business
