Our View: It’s almost criminal South Carolina hasn’t yet expanded Medicaid program - Charleston City Paper charlestoncitypaper.com/2024…
Thread. The effort to rewrite history goes on (and on, ...)
Theyhe SC Dept. of Education canceled AP African American Studies, @thegrio spoke with teachers, school administrators & superintendents to find out why SC essentially canceled the ONLY accredited HS course in Black History.
THey all had the same answer.
A thread.

There's a reason why South Carolina's primary elections give an advantage to candidates who are wildly out of touch on issues including reproductive freedom:
Extreme partisan gerrymandering.
ALT "We The People didn't get a say. Princeton University's nonpartisan Gerrymandering Project found that, of South Carolina's 124 State House districts, just 3 were competitive in general elections. Partisan skewing of legislative districts leads to extreme skewing of our primaries and our public policy. "(Redistricting Report Card, gerrymander.princeton.edu)
Polls show near-total abortion bans and the current six-week ban are unpopular among South Carolinians.
Challengers "aligned their platforms in opposition of what the majority of voters actually want."
On Tuesday, they won anyway.

This adds some more to the sheer inanity of this attempt to drain our public schools of funding to benefit those who don't need it postandcourier.com/opinion/c…

The General Assembly should allow SC utility regulators to do their jobs. Instead, there is this bill. thestate.com/news/politics-g…

There is a lot of consensus on House utility regulation bill H.5118 — it is an open door to horror stories for ratepayers, for the general public, for the environment, and for those who value integrity and fairness in government. charlestoncitypaper.com/2024…

We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design. Niklaus Wirth passed away on the first of January. We mourn a pioneer, colleague, mentor and friend.

In AI, the ratio of attention on hypothetical, future, forms of harm to actual, current, realized forms of harm seems out of whack.
Many of the hypothetical forms of harm, like AI "taking over", are based on highly questionable hypotheses about what technology that does not currently exist might do.
Every field should examine both future and current problems. But is there any other engineering discipline where this much attention is on hypothetical problems rather than actual problems?
