  • I saw this number on another post about the same article. And the original math was something like 10 million is 1% of a billion. And Bezos is worth ~250 billion.

    So 10 million would be 1/250 of 1% of his wealth. And i did the math to see what that would amount to for a normal person.

    If you have $100k in total (savings, investing, properties etc), 1% would be $1000. And 1/250 of that is $4.

    So if Bezos was someone who had around $100k in total, the amount he was asked to pay to clean up the entire towns shit is $4.

    Someone please check my math.

  • It has not been peer reviewed.

    I could make a paper in 5 minutes about how AI can be used to uniquely identify people by smelling their farts. Doesn't mean anything unless it's been peer reviewed.

    Until this paper has been peer reviewed, I give it as much credit as I give a flat earth conspiracy person.

  • I'm not a US citizen, but I can understand why some people didn't wanna vote this time.

    Even though Trump might be worse than Biden when it comes to this conflict, how can anyone vote for Kamala knowing that the death of more innocents will be on their conscience?

  • Now I fully agree that marital rape should definitely have the same repercussions as rape. However, the summary posted made me think initially that there was no protection for women against domestic violence in India at all.

    After some googling, I found some more context

    “It is submitted that the act colloquially referred to as ‘marital rape’ ought to be illegal and criminalised. The Central Government asserts that a woman’s consent is not obliterated by marriage, and its violation should result in penal consequences. However, the consequences of such violations within marriage differ from those outside it. Parliament has provided different remedies, including criminal law provisions, to protect consent within marriage. Sections 354, 354A, 354B, 498A IPC, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, ensure serious penal consequences for such violations,”

    Tl;dr marital rape is illegal and can be prosecuted. But somehow the court thinks that the act of marriage changes the situation.
