I'm not talking about the technical possibility. Of course you can have multiple video stream, one per participant.

I'm saying that without multicast, it can be more resource intensive than having intermediate servers that can multicast on the application layer.

Is a connection between 3+ people still p2p? Or is there another term for it?

I don't know how this would work over the internet though.

On a LAN you could use multicast, but I don't think ISPs support multicast, it seems like it would be an easy way to DoS. But I honestly don't know.

So, if you can't multicast, the way to have serverless multi-user video calls would be to have a separate video feed for each receiver, which I can see using more resources than through a server that would replicate the stream to all the receivers. Of course this is dependant on distance, even without multicast it consumes more resources if everyone is in the same LAN.

Yeah. It is clearly possible. I don't know why I read it as 60th percentile instead of 60% of median

After reading my comment. You are right, it is not impossible.

However, it still is not a good indicator for minimum wage.

IMO, minimum wage should be based on expenses. That is, it should cover what you need to live a decent life.

That definition is based on other's income. Imagine you live in a country where housing is 1€/month and food is 0.10€/month. The rest of the costs scale accordingly. Yet it is an incredibly rich country and the median income is 10000€/year. Would you say that a yearly wage of 120€/year is risk-of-poverty? It's 0.001% of the median income, yet it can provide for 10 years of housing in 1 year of work.

Great. We used the same definition, that's good.

Now, can you explain to me what minimum wage do you think would make it so minimum wage is safe from poverty according to that definition?

I'm surprised they at least know they have a problem. I would think these companies would just say "look how the sales numbers haven't changed, that means that we were correct in doing the AI thing. Without it, sales would be sinking into the ocean!"

"full attendance"

The fact that some 300 people with the best salaries and most prestigious jobs in the country can't be presumed to all attend their job is completely incredible to me. Especially on occasions of such importance such as a presidential impeachment.

The planet does not care about taxes either.

The reason per person footprint is important because we can't just turn off all pollution. We have to gradually reduce it.

You can't just say to your country "by the way, we just banned fossil fuels", that will just result in you dead and a pro-pollution guy being in charge of the country next day.

The way to reduce pollution is to get more output from the same input. That is, efficiency.

Private jets are incredibly inefficient and are used by an extremely low percentage of the population. There's no reason to keep that 1.8% just to satisfy 0.0001% of the population.

And how are women pushed out of "man jobs"?

And how are we fixing that?

Is it bosses that aim to have male coworkers turning down women? How is that different than bosses wanting artificially 50/50 turning down men?

Is it not being represented in advertising? How is that different than what happens now. Where most advertising displays just women? Or if there is both a man and a woman, the woman is usually centered in the picture or doing a more important/powerful role.

By "encouraging" women in the workplace, what you see is things being done to men that you complain was done to women.

So now not being progressive is far right. Also there's 2 countries in the EU. Got it.

Ah yes. Anything to the right of communism is far right.
