Herd immunity is a real effect. If vaccines help you not catch the disease, then an unvaccinated person is less likely to catch the disease in a population with a high vaccination rate. Because the disease doesn’t spread as much.
If you can lower the infection rate so that on average, each sick person results in less than one other sick person, infections die out instead of growing. That is “herd immunity.”

Donald Trump cuts all US trade with Spain over Iran war dispute
Good job on the Republican Party for being complicit in our current president continuing to absolutely wreck the global image of the U.S. on top of everything else.

Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AI

"caught" also implies they've been hiding it... It's been out in the open how they scan books to train AI for a while now.

The Singularity is bullsh*t. (Science Fiction with Damien Walter)
I don’t think the “Singularity” is bullshit, we’ll get there if we make AI in a completely different way such that it’s capable of actually reasoning… Just these LLMs are garbage

Citizens United isn't a law, it's a Supreme Court ruling which has its (flawed) logic based on the Constitution. A law won't cut it, because Citizens United would be used as precedent to strike it down as unconstitutional. We likely need a new Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment.

If it applies to you, how did you engage with the instinct that drug-based treatment would make you not feel your real feelings?
That did happen to me, and I didn’t end up taking the medication thinking I’d try my luck treating it just with therapy and improving my health in other ways. While I found the therapy extremely helpful and well worth it, I really really regret not trying the medicine in hindsight. Because of life complications and my employment situation, I haven’t had the opportunity to try it since and can’t shake the feeling this would be much much easier to tackle with it if one of my main problems is a chemical imbalance. For context: mental health issues run on both sides of the family.
If I get good healthcare again, I’m immediately going to go back to get some proper care.

I’ll grant you the effect is less because of the mutations (and I would be interested in seeing a paper about it, I might have to look up some research), but it also doesn’t help that the vaccination rate is and has been so low because of misinformation, to say the least.

What's your alternative? Other countries have similar one-word names for their citizens, "Italians," "Japanese," "Mexicans", etc. United-Statesians? Then we might get the complaint that many other countries are made of smaller states too! Let's go for "citizens of the United States of America," that's nice and short. I get that Central/South America exists, but let us have the word, there's nothing else which sounds good.

Unit testing in Godot + Rust
I've only spent a little bit of time on godot-rust myself, but from what I hear you have to use some sort of third-party library to help out. I've heard gd-rehearse might be what you're looking for, but never got it working myself (though I didn't try very hard).
I've resorted to mostly using gdscript, and in rust just making my structures normal rust structs which I can unit test, just adding thin wrappers which use Gd<T> which call into my standard tested rust code. As long as what you're testing doesn't touch Gd<T> it seems to be testable in the normal way without crashing, using #[test]... but I admit it's not ideal
Edit: there's a godot-rust discord linked from their main docs page which is much more active than this place could be, you might get a better answer there

It’s exactly because saying “failed to ___” doesn’t assign blame. That way whoever the article is about has a harder time suing… Especially if the article title is factual. Harder to prove intent
