It's possible that Americans are all about free markets (I have severe doubts on this point, but let's accept it), but Trump and his MAGAts are far more concerned about fucking with people weaker than them.
If given two options, they will take the one that will hurt more people, every day of the week.
I don't think those figures are entirely relevant anymore, since they're all pre-trade war. Factories are pausing operations due to the decline in export sales.
I am using paid version of Proton Mail and search is working in thunderbird connected to their IMAP/SMTP bridge just alright. But web interface may suck, I did not use the web for a long time.
The web search feature isnt great.
With the bridge youre unecrypting the emails and letting Thunderbird have full access so its as good as whatever Thunderbird (or other programs) have implemented.
Proton websearch is by default email title, sender/receiver only. You can enable full body search but Proton will download your emails to your browser so the search is local. They dont support server-side body search. If you have thousands of emails, youll need to download those first.
You are being downvoted by people who don't realize how money works. Without consumption, companies will cease to exist (rent, loans, energy). Without companies and consumption, taxes are gone and states are going bankrupt because it has still things like pensions, army or police to pay. And ultimately with whole consumption chain gone, those AGI valuation in Trillion of USD is zero, because nobody has money to afford to rent one.
I absolutely agree. If AI takes over, most of the jobs are gone. If jobs are gone, income for consumers is gone. If income for consumers is gone, companies will disappear next because customers don't have money to buy goods and in final stage states will go bankrupt because it has no income from taxes because consumers and companies are gone.
Unless... there will be nationalization of AI companies or their massive taxation.
In the end of the day academia in general should stop relying on exams based on memorization of random facts and start using real world examples of what kind of work student would be working with as an employee. And if student can deliver correct result even when using AI or any other method, and then explain why those results are the way they are, then student has passed.
In real world outside of academia, nobody cares how did you get to the result, only thing which matters is if result is correct and if you can explain why it is correct.

College isn't hands on employee training; the employer can do that if they want it. College is for the student, and not just for their career - there is much more to life. Knowledge is power for the student.
Even working with computers, theory is more universally valuable knowledge than the current programming trend - the wonderful thing about a theoretical abstraction is that it applies everywhere. For example, lots of practical high level coding experience is now less valuable, while people who truly understand theory can apply their knowledge somewhere new.
If absolute majority of students passing through the academia are going into private employment and not doing science, academia should not pretend that their primary purpose is making scientists.
By 'more to life' I don't mean being a scientist; I mean there is far more than career - personal life, community member, family member (including parent), living in the world. For many people, career is the least important and rewawrding (though necessary).
The article is about accountancy. Accountancy is not academia.

I have an undergraduate degree and PhD in chemistry and I don't really think "blind memorisation" had much to do with my success. It will only get you so far.
I think there is also substantial within academia about the purpose of academia. I think a lot of academics might disagree that it is about preparing people to be employees.
Statistically, how many people will become private employees and how many people will stay in academia to do science? Disagreement is just denying reality.
If academia was solely about job training it would take at most like 6 weeks. It is about getting a rounded education. It is why engineers need to take liberal arts classes.
Academia should be for exploration, research, or preservation/archival. It’s about knowledge, not profit.
Academic attainment should be about the subject.
It’s business that should deal with the application, the short cuts, the “ends” rather than the means.
I’m sure there’s a formulation of this which also allows for AI in acedemia. I’m not srguing for that kind of purity. But I am saying that acedemia shouldn’t be treated as the training ground for employment.
It can tell other people what to do, just like CEO. You know LLM is having the vision and employees will execute. Now where is the multibillion package?
Furthermore how Macron can increase prices of drugs? I was thinking that Americans are all about free market.
