And I agreed that West Bengal had higher figures in my response, but I was talking about Kerala because that is what the post’s article is about.

Doing a quick Google, it seems like the culling of the electoral roll happened and targeted non-Hindu people more than Hindu people.

Given the numbers reported in the West Bengal rolls, I would expect that election to be highly impacted by the change in rolls. However, it looks like while the draft SIR got rid of 2,400,000 voters per this article, the final number in Kerala removed was only 53,229 per this article.

Modi definitely tried to steal the election and I wouldn’t be surprised if it significantly affected some state elections, but it appears like SIR was muted in this state unless you have information I don’t have.

Also, for others, I converted the commas to a western format since I have issues seeing lakh and crore in the same way that I see thousands and millions.

It is news because Kerala was the last leftist state government in India. That every state government is now center or right likely has major implications for the next national elections.

What’s a news source that puts the blame on Modi’s national government?

Yeah, but those tools should be built into Lemmy and they aren’t. Even something as basic as mod seniority based on something other than how long someone has been a mod should have been corrected.

Good mods and admins are able to do good work despite the tools provided, not with the tools provided.

Is it? The article seems to say something completely different.

I’m not surprised. Lemmy has been sold as a Reddit where people can be in more control than they could be on Reddit. It turns out you only get that control if you’re an admin.

But the decision to defederate or allow a mod to use AI is at the admin level, not the user level.

The user threat to leave isn’t worth that much.

The use of AI for moderation isn’t the choice of users, but moderators and admins.

I don’t think he has the contacts to do that. Daredevil is generally considered a small super hero, he works in Manhattan only and didn’t generally run in the same social circles as the Tony Starks of the world.

It also potentially puts him into a compromising position. What happens if the billionaire wants something to happen that will harm Daredevil’s community?

Yep. TSA didn’t care about the Teamsters sandwiches, just the Teamsters dipping sauce.

Oh, that’s not going to fit under your seat.

Most airports have the water bottle fillers you can fill for free, but most everything else has airport pricing.

Also, some forms of chai look very similar to explosives with their new scanners.

I wouldn’t take the use of AI alone as a sign of mental decline. The question for you should be is if this is the first time you’ve questioned his mental acuity or have you seen issues before and this is just the worst you’ve seen so far.

There is a concept in economics called price elasticity, which is how the market adjusts to changes in supply and demand. If there are more alternatives for the product or the product is a luxury, the price is usually considered “elastic” as people will stop using the good over paying more for it.

Oil is price inelastic. For a lot of equipment, there isn’t an immediate substitute for oil and people need oil to do a lot of important economic activities. So, if there is a reduction in supply, a lot of people will pay more money to make sure they get their oil, which drives up prices far more than the lack of supply would normally suggest.

That being said, goods are usually more price elastic in the long run. For instance, people might choose an electric car right now over a gas powered car because electric cars now are a lot cheaper in comparison for total use costs.

It depends if the cameras have enough image definition and are tied to an AI database.

Extrapolating from American technology, it is likely years away from China being able to implement this on a national scale. Even if they did, it would likely roll out starting in government buildings and transit stations first.

I doubt that a system is set up like that in China, but I could see that kind of system being built in the near future.

Yeah. A lot of state universities have programs where inmates can get degrees from behind bars. If you’re there long enough, you can probably get a law degree starting from an associates degree.

What a lot of those movies leave out is that they are attending an accredited law program to get their J.D. degree. It doesn’t have to be a good law school, just one that meets the education requirements.

Go to law school, get a degree, pass the bar exam.

Law school is going to be a lot faster than reading law.
