  • I think the reason is as simple as flamboyant outfits being easily available.

    Two hundred years ago, a flamboyant outfit indicated you did minimum manual work. As that’d destroy the drip, and it was also quite expensive. While commoners would wear often brown/grey work outfits.

    It’s the same reasons for why it used to be in to be white/pale, as that indicated you’d stay inside all day rather than working the fields. Now it’s in to be tan, as that indicates you’re able to sunbath rather than work in an office all day long






  • because the AI industry is “building AI-agent integrations into production infrastructure faster than it’s building the safety architecture to make those integrations safe”.

    How dense are some people? No they don’t build integrations to your prod environment, you hand them the access willynilly. I was in an AI related greenfield project 2 years ago, there’s several reasons why communication with our db happened through an API. The primary one, control.


  • Statistically speaking, then immigrants and refugees, commit more crimes.

    It’s not so much the first generation (the immigrants/refugees themselves) but second and third generation growing up in the country of destination, well and often origin for 2nd/3rd.

    Even when factoring for socioeconomic factors, they’re over represented statistically speaking. But it’s still missing a lot of factors.

    There’s more reported crime in areas with closer population density, most immigrants aim for the big cities; As they’re often more diverse and have better job opportunities, but they’re often ending up in below median pay jobs. Combined with living in the most expensive areas, they often end up living in some of the roughest neighbourhoods of the big cities.

    While a lot of the poor people among the natives tend to live in rural locations, which sees less reported crimes and tends to have no/few turf wars.

    Looking at immigrant workers going to Europe during the worker shortage of the 70s, lots of Turks and Persian folks migrated for jobs and a lot of new cheap housing were built at the edges of city centers. These areas full of people not speaking the native tongue, under median pay. Was the perfect storm to ensure slower than wanted immigration/assimilation - Ideally you’d want to spread migration across the entire country, so Ibrahim, Jiao, Radoslaw, Brian and whatever else their names are would immediately interact with natives from day 1.

    Which is exactly what several countries did for Ukrainian refugees, we have examples of countries paying their citizens to house them in their homes and the results are obvious. It worked really well. Although we still have to wait another decade, before we can spot whether or not their children still end up in crime statistics.

    There also tends to be rules that disfavours non citizens, an example from Denmark is the fact you can be forced to live with your parents until you’re 21 if you’re a non EU citizen. Even though you were born here, went through the Danish school system aced high school and the likes. You might be forced to stay at home, rendering university impossible for a subset of bright people for a few years of life.

    These systematic rules, is something that will turn people against the system and is also a part of the explanation
