Korean banks already require some pretty weird stuff. It’s not common in the US at all, thankfully, but I can see them adopting it…

It is worth noting that credit scores don’t necessarily eliminate bias, it just adds another step. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn if you could predict an individual’s credit score based on non-financial facts because some of the old biases were cooked into the system (by proxy or not). (I very much suspect this is true but don’t have it in me to go hunt down papers right this instant…)

An improvement over arguing your case with the teller, yes, but not necessarily flawless.

hasn’t that been coming any day now for like two years or something?

just drop the bags and move on with your life man

just like reddit, everyone on Lemmy is a bot except for you

Correct!

You are the Janitor’s assistant.

You leave every single room looking like a literal tornado passed through.

You are, in all probability, the best assistant the janitor has had.

This displeases some of the higher-ups, but they don’t seem to be able to do anything to stop you or the janitor.

Another game: God is about to die literally any minute now, but it’s probably fine because God is really, really, really fast.

I think that depends on the definition of “solved”.

In Finland, the Onkalo repository is being steadily built out (honestly, there might already be waste stored there, I haven’t checked in on that story in a while. I know there was some delay due to COVID).

In the United States, there’s been a lot of the usual politicking about where to build something that doesn’t exactly sound appealing to have in one’s backyard. Nobody wants to be the senator who allowed the government to build a nuclear waste site in their state, no matter how safe the site actually is.

This has led to the unfortunate situation where by law, the EPA is only allowed to consider a site in Nevada (because the other sites were in states represented by the Speaker of the House and President pro Tempore of the Senate), but because Nevada became an important state for Obama to become president, the site couldn’t/wouldn’t actually be built there and has been on hold pretty much ever since. My armchair understanding is that the Nevada site is probably one of the better places in the United States that you could store nuclear waste, but politics has ensured it will not be put there for a long, long time.

AMD’s encoders are garbage, but if you insist, you can use VA-API to get accelerated encoding in the output advanced settings.
