In most American cities, going to the grocery store is kind of a pain. You have to drive somewhere, usually at least a mile or two. You have to find some place to park and walk across a huge parking lot. The store itself will be huge, if you're just getting three things you have to trek all the way across the store to retrieve them. And the lines at the checkout can be bad.

As I mentioned in another comment, I had the opportunity to live for a year in a very walkable neighborhood, with an excellent grocery store. It was convenient, it was small, the food was high quality, checkout was lightning fast. I found myself going there nearly every day and it was wonderful.

But once I needed to move back to a more car-centered city, the idea of doing this became once again unthinkable. Far too big of a chore to do daily.
I learned English watching Larry King Live, because that was my father's favourite talkshow during the 90s.

I didn't understand half of what was going on in those conversations, but what stuck with me was the broad spectrum of people he interviewed and how consistently respectful he was towards his interviewees.
So far, I didn't see evidence that it even exists. Tiktok denies that such material exists, and so far I think there's only the parent's statement. Let's see what the investigation will find out.
It is not a reversible relation.

Denial of the totality of Russiagate (shadowy foreign powers are using the scary, technological internet to reach into the minds of innocent Americans who would otherwise be happily eating apple pie and going to work on time in the porn and missile factory) does not imply that the motte is untrue.

It is very possible that Russia, or some element of the Russian elite, have sought to propagandize the USA. But here is zero proof that it was effective, let alone that there was control of Trump, zero proof of voting irregularities, zero proof of a change in foreign policy advantageous to Russia.

Russiagate is irrational. Maybe not as lurid as QAnon, but similarly lacking in support for its major theses.
I had months of people telling me the 'fact' that "Fauci said not to wear a mask! That's a fact! Go read it here!"

When presented with "well, he also later said 'wear a mask' - which is also a fact"... I would get "fake news" or "he flip flops and therefore can't be trusted". When pointed out they were still 'trusting' the "don't wear a mask" fact... things usually ended there, with some profanity thrown my way.

When more information was presented, it was almost always countered with "that's just your opinion". Or... "I don't trust CNN", etc. At some point a switch flips with many people and "facts" only count when they match your internal belief system.

>this is even ignoring their inability to write or ship software

If anyone cannot write or ship software it is Tesla. My Toyota is light-years ahead in the software and updating department and I'll never again touch a Tesla with a stick in my life. Talk about crappy software. No what Tesla's got going for them is first mover and that is over soon. Even cheap Chinese EVs like the MG is closing with Tesla fast. Apple is working with Hyundai, which is another company biting at Tesla's heals. Hyundai cars with Apple software/design for Apple fans and Tesla is left in the dust. They need to invest a lot more in quality than they do now -without raising the price- if they aren't going to be left behind when the big guys get moving.

Are you trying to give a wrong opinion of SWP. No "ultra violent, red army faction types" are joining the SWP.

Also your use of "ultra violent" / "red army" surely is used to incorrectly ascertain that there are parts of the left that are much more violent than they actually are.

Yes, they've gotten worse.

AC used to go to interesting places and do interesting things. After he got beat up they'd have him sit behind a desk and report on WDC politicians acting like children except he had to take them seriously instead of calling out their behavior.

Before Trump came on the scene you would hear them talk about themselves on a slow news Sunday, and the big problem they face was low ratings. You might think they just chased away people with saturation cover of school shootings and plane crashes, but they tried many different things and convinced themselves they were doing the optimal thing.

Probably the owners thought about shutting it down, but the presence of Fox News made that seem really irresponsible.

Trump came and it was great for ratings, like 9/11 every day. That's over now.

> > CPGB-ML who are full on tankies

> It remains astonishing that a number of these people did a full 180 turn to right-libertarians and from there to Brexiteers, eventually leading to Claire Fox, apologist for the bombing of Manchester, becoming a member of the House of Lords.

Claire fox was never CPGB-ML, but the “Revolutionary Communist Party.” From what I can understand, the RCP was always a primarily contrarian entity and always more libertarian than Marxist. To quote their journal, Living Marxism:

> We live in an age of caution and conformism, when critical opinions can be outlawed as 'extremism' and anything new can be rubbished as 'too risky'. Ours is an age of low expectations, when we are always being told what is bad for us, and life seems limited on all sides by restrictions, guidelines and regulations. The spirit of LM is to go against the grain: to oppose all censorship, bans and codes of conduct; to stand up for social and scientific experimentation; to insist that we have the right to live as autonomous adults who take responsibility for our own affairs. These are basic human values that cannot be compromised if we are ever going to create a world fit for people. [0]

This seems to have more in common with the libertarian right than Marxist, particularly “to insist that we have the right to live as autonomous adults who take responsibility for our own affairs,” which is almost the antithesis of Marxism.

> Fox stayed with her ex-RCP members when the group transformed itself in the early 2000s into a network around the web magazine Spiked Online and the Institute of Ideas, both based in the former RCP offices and promoting libertarianism. [1]

Given their apparent funding, contrarian headline-generating antics and subsequent banding together, some may question whether they were a model for what would come later: an opaquely funded right-libertarian outlet.

Larry King previously stated that he wanted his body to be cryopreserved after legal death:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/30/magazine/larry-king-is-pr...

> He has arranged to have his body frozen and then thawed out when researchers discover a cure for whatever killed him — the so-called cryonics approach. (Unlike Williams, King does not wish to have his dead head cut off.) King told me later that the people behind cryonics are ‘‘all nuts,’’ but at least if he knows he will be frozen he will die with a shred of hope. ‘‘Other people have no hope,’’ King said.

Also see his interview on Conan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF7NpKG_S8g

I wonder he actually ended up signing a cryonics contract or not.

I saw him several times at Dodger stadium. I never met him as I didn't want to go bother the guy.

For those that don't know, he was a massive baseball and Dodger fan and would sit right behind home plate. He could often be seen on TV.

He would often go to games and just sit at the bar watching from inside. Crazy but I guess he felt more comfortable there at the stadium instead of at home.

RIP Larry
Eventually a system like this will succeed at getting some kind of scale. When that does happen, the smart devs will write tools that search for common issues in open source repositories, that also have bounties. You apply 1 code fix to 100 repositories, and that $80 bounty (x100) becomes an $8000 bounty.

The result of that is that the easy stuff with a known fix will always be prioritized, and the hard stuff that require real engineering time will never be fixed.

Truck driver. I just picked up a trailer of toilet paper in Portland, bound for Ontario CA.

The guard handling the paperwork asked me "Are you able to sign online?"

I desperately tried to come up with a snappy "yep," it sounded like such a good idea. But I finally had to say "I'm not sure what you mean."

He handled it, gave me my bill of lading, and away I went with toilet paper in tow and paperwork in hand. Because it's still not finished until the paperwork is done.

Indeed. I think gamers are an easy target because they've collectively very little impulse control. Every single time there were talks of boycotts nothing really happened as far as I recall.

For instance the justification for "paid online" is usually server costs, but that's forgetting that not so long ago most (non-persistent) online games let you host your own servers if you wanted to. So they moved away from that in order to gain more control and give themselves more opportunities for monetization (loot boxes etc...) and then they use that as an excuse to ask money for online. And it worked.

Meanwhile, gamers: https://pcinvasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/modernwarf...

> Bitcoin can be used for making transactions on the Bitcoin network, and to store information permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain. Here are examples of applications.

Why would I want to do this on Bitcoin specifically? There are thousands of cryptocurrencies that offer this and an entire banking system that specializes in financial transactions.

>You can use other metals as conductors, and the whole notion of a specific arrangement of molecules being called “an appliance” or “a jewellery piece” is just human imagination.

The difference is that it is a form of human imagination shared by most humans. The golden appearance has a certain appeal to it. If humans want it regardless of its value on the financial markets that is a reason to agree that gold is THE store of value instead of silver or Bitcoin being THE store of value. This is a popularity contest and being able to wear and see your gold gives you a massive head start in the popularity contest.

One of the biggest takeaways from the past 25 years of "the internet" is that critical-mass-achieving walled gardens are the ticket to unicorndom, and that's the only kind of solution that VC dollars are chasing.

good point and you are right. it's fast, but only on short distance. the animation within the article and the text explains this further.
It may be perfectly fine if you have cheap solar. It's a completely different problem from starting with coal.

Anyway, there are planes that use ethanol internal combustion, and methane reaction engines. There have been for ages. Those fuels aren't widely used because they are hard to handle and lose performance on the normal passenger transportation conditions. The reason they are more common on cars is because performance matter much less on road transportation, not because of any lack of testing.
Sure.. but for 980Watts you're talking a system with multiple RTX3090 GPUs and a threadripper CPU - and even with that it wouldn't be a 980Watt constant draw, it would spike based on the game and what was happening in the game.

I would be surprised if even half a percent of Americans have that kind of setup. If even 50% of Americans suddenly had that setup and all gamed every night for 10 hours a night, I would expect that would also cause the power grid to have issues.

Do you not understand there are these things called "industrial parks" "distribution centers" or "factories" that are often not put anywhere near houses due to noise, odor, and other reasons? Many of them in my town are often 30 + min trips one way down roads where there are barely any houses, let alone places that could host a charger.

Another example; one time I worked for an inventory service which are the people who count goods in stores and other places. We often spent 45 minutes plus getting to stores, and one particularly wonderful refrigerated warehouse was located in another state.

You all need to get there is a whole other world besides people who can work remote or knowledge professionals who walk ten minutes to their 9-5 job. In my career many people often commute from 30+ one way minute drives because there's only so many places where you can actually work at.
Why is it surprising? A lot of Marxist functional description of the capitalist economy is coherent with events if you squint hard enough. If that is accepted then moral choices and personal preferences overlaid ontop lead to several different paths. Accelerationism is one.

It’s funny you should blame the government for this. In the 90s people actually died from shady supplements. In response the FDA tried to expand its authority to regulating these supplements. The industry started a scaremongering ad campaign telling people that they wouldn’t be able to get Vitamin C supplements unless they wrote their congressman. Many did. Reps received more letters from their constituents on this one Bill than the entire Vietnam War [1]. In response to pressure from constituents, government reversed course.

The unelected experts in Government tried to do the right thing. It’s the people who were so easily misled that forced the end of regulation for dietary supplements.

Paraphrasing what Terry Pratchett said, the problem here isn’t that we have the wrong sort of government, it’s that we have the wrong sort of people.

I think this is very possible as well. An amusing/sad example is how 4chan trolled the left into thinking the “ok” gesture actually means “white power”. The left took the bait and started policing this gesture, and then right-wing folks would start using it to trigger them—which the left wing folks took to be “proof” that the symbol was a white power symbol (look! the right is using this symbol! vindication!) and indeed even had a hispanic utility worker fired for absent-mindlessly making the gesture. Self fulfilling prophesy.

Hopefully that’s $7 to pick up/return an entire load of held books, not just one.

Microsoft still provides an entire infrastructure for communication and multiplayer games. In any other industry, I suppose the cost of that service would be rolled into the price of the device.

State-funded media has it's own problems but at least there's some accountability which is effectively nonexistent for large media companies. As long as the free market rewards sensationalism, there will be profit driven "journalism." Ultimately, the general populace needs to be educated on the veracity of news in the digital age; how to spot a misleading headline, and how to corroborate actual expository works.
Clicking on this article with no context makes it very difficult to understand if you don't already know what 100UL and avgas means. Took me 2 paragraphs of confusion to figure out "avgas" is aviation fuel and 100UL means 100 Octane Unleaded.
Why is it unbelievable ? The business model involves not charging enough for the console and some big titles to lure in customers and then later capturing profit from things like DLC and peripherals.
