I'm not sure how the discussion went from art to power supplies, but... Turning off a computer doesn't completely turn it off. Specifically, ATX power supplies have a standby +5V output, even when the computer is off. (This is how Wake-on-LAN works, for instance.) So it's quite possible that you needed to disconnect the computer to get it to fully restart.

As far as discharging capacitors, that's an issue if you turn the computer off and on rapidly; the power supply can continue supplying power for a few seconds due to its capacitors, so the system might continue uninterrupted.

It doesn't relate specially to trans speech; KixiQu's comment above observed that fediverse instances seem to moderate out transphobia more than Twitter. Then JL6 asked if fediverse is moderating itself into a silo.

I'm saying moderation and exclusion are traditional tools in responding to offensive speech in private fora. But moderation and exclusion can become too good. We've seen right and left choose into bubbles big enough to sway elections with outrageous false claims.

The Twitter and AWS response to bad speech generated by free-choice silos is to enforce their own, bigger silencing or moderation policy. I'd like to find ways where people can grow, adapt, and cooperate more when they encounter hostile, offensive, or untrue beliefs or speech online.

I would have included symbolic algebra systems to the list. Many famous calculations in physics and mathematics may not have been attempted without them. Macsyma and Reduce paved the way for Mathematica and Maple. There are still many symbolic algebra algorithms waiting to be implemented. The love and care many open source symbolic systems are receiving is a reflection of their need and importance to science and technology.
Firefox doesn't care about your privacy. They implemented the same bloated information-leaking APIs like AudioContext that Google did. These APIs are used almost exclusively for tracking.

Coupled with their recent pro-deplatforming stance, Firefox's death will accelerate and it's a good thing. Mozilla has been consumed by greed (Google deal), incompetence (Firefox mobile) and politics ('deplatform our ideological enemies' blogpost).

I agree with your points about Japan in general. However, one major reason “people seem much less stressed about getting kicked out of their homes here” is that there are strong laws protecting tenants from eviction [0, 1]. Landlords also cannot raise rents unilaterally [2].

My own anecdatum comes from about twenty-five years ago. I was living with my family in Tokyo in a rental condominium owned by a large corporation. The corporation tried to get us to move out so that they could sell the unit. Our children were small and I worked at home, and it would have been a major hassle to move then. I looked into the law and learned that the landlord needs a “proper reason” (正当事由 seitō jiyū, [3]) to evict a tenant and that wanting to sell the property does not count as such. I told the company’s representative that we knew our rights, and they stopped bothering us.

Yeah, it was definitely the "progressive left" that spent years and cost the Christchurch council millions to fix the broken cathedral. Not right-leaning old people at all.

I think you mean "they think that Maori shouldn't be fucked over by the government more than they already have been".

> No one stands in the way of housing more than the left in this country.

Frankly, housing in NZ is not a political issue, it's an economic one. Regardless of your politics, no one in the middle class is willing to fix the housing crisis, because it will mean a lot of economic pain.

Also, as much as I would like to see housing sorted in NZ, I also don't want it to ruin what's good about this country. If you want an example of how to ruin an area with building, look at Queenstown.

err, do you have that around the wrong way? brown is dark/unsaturated orange?

And the article goes into this, pointing out that before the study of the visible spectrum of light that the relationship between brown and orange would not have been known.

I'm inclined to agree with that, as before learning photography and image manipulation i remember being aware of the colours in the spectrum of visible light, but had no concept of where brown fit in. Why there should be a connection between our experiential concepts of brown and orange seems to me something that comes post-theory rather than a priori...

There are parts of the business that cannot boost revenue. “Investing” in them doesn’t really make sense beyond nominal amounts because the max return they can provide is eliminating themselves.

Unless you’re into fraud, “accounting” and “accounts payable” are examples of cost centers. You don’t hire a bunch of innovative people to boost it because it’s not going to ever increase your revenue.

The distinction is made from a strategic perspective because scaling up “cost centers” should be avoided at all costs and scaling up “profit centers” is something you want to do as much as you can.

It has no overlap with “interesting work”. Very often the boring parts of an industry are the profit centers (e.g. in academia the profit comes from packing students into classrooms, not research).

I think this is strange thinking because it breaks our laws of physics. The clock ticks at the same rate in internal reference frames, it is only different when looking at two different frames. But if you're talking about them acting at slower speeds or faster, then that brings along other problems similar to the mechanics ones we discussed (assuming we're not counting that they are in a slower reference frame). It really shifts the probabilities around. Even trees act relatively quickly because forces act fast. You'd have to be in a pretty extreme environment for other things to happen.

As to chemistry, if they are moving faster then that means that they have more thermal energy. That comes with radiative problems (why humans stand) and this is much more difficult the smaller you are because you have less surface area. Which then puts large energy requirements on intake. And then the inverse is true.

The thing is that aliens would still have to follow the laws of physics. There is no reason to expect that wouldn't be true and reasoning otherwise would take some pretty extraordinary evidence and probably win you several Nobel prizes.
California’s container-ship traffic jam
Yes, the redevelopment of owner-occupied housing is a win-win if you believe that more supply reduces rent. Scott Wiener’s SB 50 in 2019 was exactly such a bill; it would have allowed redevelopment of owner-occupied housing into apartments, but it would not have allowed redevelopment of existing rental housing. However, Left-NIMBYs who fundamentally reject the benefits of private development will come up with any excuse (however specious) to oppose it. If you don’t think private housing has any value (or worse, if you think that new housing actively harms people), then you can always come up with excuses to prohibit it (e.g. by demanding that the government “value capture” it so that the developers won’t make any return on their investment on average). Here’s an example of an op-ed opposing SB 50 from San Francisco’s most vocal Left-NIMBYs: https://www.sfexaminer.com/opinion/how-the-state-can-help-ci...
My brother-in-law lives on the coast and had some property on an inlet. An alligator started hanging around and was getting too close to the children. He consulted with one of the local game wardens who told him "If there are kids threatened, go ahead and shoot it" (this was outside of hunting season)

So the following weekend he was in an aluminum jon-boat with an AK-47 waiting for it to surface (I swear he's not a redneck). When it did, he fired a round, hitting it in the skull. But that didn't kill it, so he emptied the magazine into it and that did it in.

He found the skull at low tide several months later after the crabs had picked it clean. The AK round had ricocheted off the bone, leaving a divot behind. They're tough creatures.
Like he says it's complicated and he most certainly has NOT provided "all" of the background. His portrayal is very very misleading but suffice to say this discussion has been hashed out a billion times on a billion platforms and I'm not willing to have the same boring discussion over again.

I’ve noticed that pro-nuclear people tend to be more data driven and anti-nuclear tend to be more tribal:

Standard anti nuclear arguments from the left:

- diverting resources from wind and solar is folly

- corrupt energy corporations will always run unsafe plants

- nuclear proliferation

- US regulations make the technology fundamentally unprofitable (despite many counter-examples in other countries)

Anti nuclear arguments from the right:

- Coal = jobs

- Scientists can’t be trusted to make nuclear work.

- government regulations ruined it, and are unchangable

Data driven arguments:

- meltdowns are bad, but infrequent. Even if safety never improves, coal plants dump more radiation per kwh.

- waiting the last 30-40 years to decarbonize electricity generation was much more harmful to the environment than nuclear plants would have been (even with multiple meltdowns, and it wouldn’t have cost much to avoid that).

- france and china have successful nuclear industries, and france did it with now-obsolete technology.

I haven’t seen much correlation between being on the left or right and being pro- or anti-nuclear.

I have noticed that pro-nuclear people tend to have a more balanced take on covid (by “balanced”, I mean somewhere between “masks are a hoax” and “full-on panic”)
I tend to bring this up on threads like this, so I apologize if you've heard this before.

Using data going back to 1948 (!) we find:

> Overall, [rents] went up 6.6% every year. Today's outrageous prices are exactly in line with the 6.6% trend that began 60 years ago.

Fischer concludes:

> Building enough housing to roll back prices to the "good old days" is probably not realistic, because the necessary construction rates were never achieved even when planning and zoning were considerably less restrictive than they are now. Building enough to compensate for the growing economy is a somewhat more realistic goal and would keep things from getting worse.
This sounds very similar to my experience doing a PhD while working full time.
Public/private partnerships can and do work.

I know many folks who live in or grew up in such developments[0].

And such housing provides decent amenities and is safe, comfortable and generally well run.

There is no reason why we can't do this more, or why government should have no involvement. It works, and we know it works, because we're already doing it.

You are interpreting my statement "brains don't work differently" here in a disengenuous way which is both more narrow and different from the exact context of the discussion.

But I think we can both agree on one thing. Its not productive to continue the discussion.
It's really the only variable differentiating the US homicide rate from other developed countries. The US homicide rate is 4 times the UK, 5 times more than Germany, 4 times that of France and thrice that of our neighbor to the north. While Mexico has a higher homicide rate, the gun crime rate in the US is 6 times higher. (All numbers are round approximations. Different sources and ways of calculating the data may result in variances but the relative rates don't change that much.)
Great idea! Put politics where it can easily be ignored. Not everyone is rabid right or left

> Sharks are animals: amoral, without judgement for their behavior.

I was wrong to say that you can't blame Amazon for doing what they do -- what I should have said was that people shouldn't be "surprised". Work yourself into a fit over it if you want, but the next time it happens, you shouldn't be surprised.

My point was meant to be that sharks do shark things, and companies that are Amazon's size do things that companies at Amazon's size would do. Both happenings should not illicit much surprise.

> AWS is a company made up of human beings, with the capacity to choose to do good. If they do things that we would consider to be immoral, we can absolutely blame and judge them for that, regardless of whether it's "what they do".

This is great in theory, but there are such things as shareholders, fiduciary duty, and binding financial covenants. Companies have a capacity to choose to do good, but they have a stronger duty to produce profit for stakeholders. Companies can be ethical, but there is no reason to believe that they will be unless it's written into their bylaws, or they are structured differently from the outset (ex. Mozilla Foundation).

Another article hit the front page from 2019 about Google vetoing the power of a privacy-focused W3C working group to prevent technical changes that would hurt privacy. This is another instance -- you can blame and gnash your teeth all you want, but Google is going to do what Google does, and that's offer technological advancement and ease at the cost of privacy (sometimes) if it helps them sell more/more expensive ads.

"Outside forces" want to tell the owner of a parcel what he can't do with his own land. And they should! Decisions about land use at the parcel level affect the neighbors. Correspondingly, decisions about land use at the city level affect the region.
I have no idea if this is one of the reasons your comment is grey, but the “it’s not like natives didn’t have conflict” is just as much projection as “magical natives” portrayals are bullshit. If you don’t recognize that colonization contorted indigenous peoples into conflict based on colonial prerogatives, you’re not telling yourself or anyone else the whole story.

It’s a shame for both sides of the shameful misinterpreted history that people don’t, yes, acknowledge that native peoples had real wars and conflicts, and also that colonizers instigated and coordinated other conflicts that were either less likely or more brutal or both than they would’ve been otherwise.
The analogy to the soft drink bottling seems...off. I would imagine there's a contract of sorts between stations on rate of output/input, spacing/placement of bottles, etc, between stations that makes it not very asynchronous.

Yes, that's absolutely true and the brutal treatment natives around the world experienced as a result of colonialism shouldn't be downplayed. I'm not acting as a colonial apologist. What irks me is that it seems the popular mindset does appear to be that one of "surprise" of conflict amongst tribes as the parent commenter suggested, unless I misinterpreted them.
Ideas that make sense to people in cities don't always make sense in rural areas.

In the country _everyone_ meets this criteria so thereforethey are unfairly taxed.

Twitter has three options:

1. Do not classify anything as out of bounds. After the 6th, they decided they didn't like the results of that approach.

2. Classify out-there right-wing things as out of bounds.

3. Classify out-there stuff as out of bounds, no matter who it comes from.

If they aren't going to do option 1, option 3 is more reasonable than option 2. And if they're going to do option 3, the Chinese Embassy post seemed like really good grounds for locking someone's account.
