gotta do communications over radio, if only cell phones had that access during an emergency situation. i know that would need more power and a bigger antenna to have a radio broadcast mesh network. i know there are issues with that but it’s better than no communication to the outside world especially during a crisis situation, people really should have the freedom to communicate.
what if there was a way to “increase frame rate” by adding in some type of logic checker between two generated images? kinda like a comparison between two generated frames that would lead to more generated images that mimic movement? so like a filler between frames that would predict how something got to one shape to another using a set of properties that a generated object has, those properties could be weight, speed, gravity etc etc, it just depends on what object it is conceptualizing or constructing
bikes honestly should follow pedestrians, a bike is not a car and the person who will be the most amount of injured will be the person on the bike over the person of the car. so maybe have both car and bike be able to see each other in bike lanes, and keep the sidewalks to the cars. there really should be an initiative to expand the shoulders in rural america. lost of places in america are not even walking friendly. america decided to be different and make cars the main focus which is killing us (toxic gas fumes everywhere)
i would like to go even wider and just block all news sites as they tend to push political agendas from their prospective which mostly is filled with speculation that often causes unnecessary stress

can they redirect the light beams using solar mirrors that orbit the moon somehow? kinda like a light redirection satellite? technically speaking if there is enough panels and enough wiring to build a grid it could work. the energy would just have to travel via cables once harvested
I wonder what would be better in that case, redirecting light around to the dark side of the moon, or satellites that collect light, convert it to electricity, then beam it down to the moon as microwaves.
it happens all the time to people of color who get busted for weed in a non-legal state. it’s actually been this way for years in america, a lot of these overextending started from the red scare, terrorism but yeah a large part was based on the war on drugs which largely has been an expensive failure
Why specify PoC? I have several non-PoC friends busted for minor possession (weed) while in grad school and found themselves unhireable upon graduation with masters of engineering degrees.
A simple glance at the statistics would show you why.
The drug laws have race at their roots. If you don’t have time to look up the history I’ll give you an example: during the “crack cocaine epidemic” in the 80s and 90s the focus was on a version of cocaine mostly used by the poor and not on the use of the powdered stuff by the middle and upper classes — in fact that usage was celebrated.
Oh but wait: I didn’t use the word “race” in that example. Just look at the wealth and access to the middle classes for Black people in the US and decide.
Note: I haven’t looked at this for meth and fentanyl. Pot and cocaine in the beginning of the 20th century (the origin of the US recreational drug laws) were chosen because they were common the Black community at the time. I don’t doubt your experience (that of your friends I mean) but the burden is not spread uniformly.
I bet that is little consolation for non-PoC victims of bad drug policy.
Your statements come across as suggesting that the non-PoC experience doesn't matter, since a random PoC has it worse. I hope that it wasn't intentional.
It is incumbent on the communicator to word their point in such a way as to clearly relay their intent. It was my "read" because that's how you worded it.

I won't deny that there are racist reasons for that, but another part of the explanation might be that the poor classes commit more violent crimes, and thus focusing on crack cocaine helps fight violent crime more. Which then would invite the subject "Is focusing on violent crime (vs "white collar crime") better for society or another form of racism?". I don't have an answer to that one.
Because its the world they live in, and its real to them. Why the fuck would they go out of their way to avoid what is probably a mundane fact for them. Why did "you" have to specify that your "non-PoC" friend got busted. Just because someone calls out a specific attribute of a story doesn't automatically make it an agenda.
Every job I've gotten outside retail/customer service has done background checks. Criminal record is basically top of the list for what those checks are looking to uncover.
