To my other point - there actually is a lot of opportunity for a person with only a high school degree to get work in modern manufacturing. There’s actually a labor supply shortage there because it is difficult to find responsible adults that will come in on-time every day. I have friends that are supervisors in these places and they’re frustrated how difficult it is to find good help. They pay well and offer benefits. But so often they’ll bring a person in who when’s for a week and then doesn’t show up for 2 weeks.

Drugs are a huge issue unfortunately. But there’s also fewer good candidates. Anyone who went to college and is struggling to find good work (let’s say, someone one who majored in journalism or women’s studies) won’t do this work. But it’s there and offers a simple middle class life if you’re willing to do the work.

I’m not saying it’s perfect out there, but this narrative that the middle class life isn’t available anymore is just not true.

Normally I don't get bent out of shape if someone makes their point with poorly chosen words. But seriously:

> A bit more totalitarianism is not a bad thing.

No, what you want is increased government effectiveness with respect to environmental responsibility.

This can be achieved without totalitarianism AND IN FACT must be achieved without totalitarianism if it is to be effective at all.

Can we stop or change a totalitarian government? Well, by definition no we can't. Only the totalitarian government can do that. If we have a totalitarian government that decides to protect the environment today, then we also have a totalitarian government that can decide to trash the environment completely tomorrow. And given how many assholes seem to like to grab for the reins of power within totalitarian governments, I don't like our chances of maintaining a benevolent, environmentally responsible totalitarian government for long enough for us to actually protect the environment.

The global totalitarian government doesn't help the environment. We need global consensus that humanity would like to live on a non-garbage fire earth and then governments that are able to enact the will of the people. Anything else is going to quickly result in greater, long term environmental damage.
The current environmental crisis is systemic.
The economic system is rigged against Nature. Unless the economic system is fixed, the incentives to destroy Nature for quick profits will remain, at the expense of long term profits that come from having stable and thriving ecosystems.

Ohh... does it make sense to see it even if you don't speak Russian?
I think this is less a philosophical argument than a legal one. If a court can prove that you explicitly owned the illegal data in its raw format, and used that to generate something (even if it has secondary value), they should be free to prosecute in my opinion. That includes searching through and highlighting data that already exists in the wild such as large prime numbers. Presumably showing statistics of how often random data would decode to someone's credit card number would prove this beyond reasonable doubt.

The fact all data exists 'in nature' - while interesting, is not something I think should override the intent of data laws.

Dive Out of Documentation Deficit and into Continuous Documentation
I read in _Berlin 1961_ that Gagarin was sent into space on Khrushchev's orders before the engineers wanted him to do, largely so he could feel an advantage over JFK when inviting him to talk about the problems of East Germany (namely mass migration to West Germany.)

The previous cosmonaut apparently cursed Khrushchev as he realised he was going to die in a flight a month before. He burned to death. I don't recall the name or other circumstances but recommend the book.
Yeah, I was buying a TV at the time and got one that supported 3D. I have maybe a half-dozen 3D movies and I'll pull one out once a year or so. Gravity is probably the best example of using 3D.

I think the heart of the argument isn't just "domestically performed" but "domestically owned", which Globalfoundries is not. They are owned 100% by Mubadala.

Don’t ever create power you would not like your enemy to wield against you.
I totally agree with you and probably that's my problem with the whole tidbit info thing. Does it actually matter if it was a German, Chinese or whoever that invented the first printing press? I mean, yes, it's nice to give credit where credit is due. Nothing wrong with that. That doesn't mean, "We [insert country] invented the [insert invention], we are all your rulers!" I feel like people take a little good (or bad) and run too far with it. Which probably leads to your propaganda point. Just because you share a nationality with someone that was useful, doesn't immediately make you useful. This also goes for wars. There's just this weird want to associate certain facts with bigger concepts and ideals for no good reason. A lot of the things people praise or denounce are far more isolated compared to what they try to apply it to.

Maybe you're more right about the thing with being curious and what it leads it. At a certain point, I at least, learned how both connected and disconnected many things are from each other. Especially from ideologies. Man, I think that pisses me off the most. I can't stand how any ideology tries to wrap themselves around anything by using the loosest relation they can think of.

There is, as often its the cost of improving and saving our lives.

The idea that we can both live in a modern world with all the benefits and have no impact on nature is ignoring the cold hard facts.

Nature didn't give us a safe and friendly place we made unsafe, it gave us a hostile and deadly environment we made safe through the use of energy and by transforming it into a safer environment for us.

Of course we should work on reducing the negative externalities but the positive far outweigh the negative EVEN with something as polluting as coal.

It is totalitarian when the measures come at a time when it is convenient for large corporations to jump on the eko-bandwagon and entrench their positions against new competitors.

> Then there’s Polaroid, Blockbuster, Xerox, DEC...

I wonder what the correlation is to long-term business health and acquisition. Facebook I would bet you would have shrunk substantially by now if not for its acquisition of Instagram. If Google's long purchase history of various supplementary services (like the tech behind Google Earth or YouTube) had been blocked, they would have at least taken a lot longer to get to their current position.

By contrast, I don't think any of your example of shrunk companies going on anything like the acquisition spree that these tech giants have. At this point they don't have to innovate because they have enough money to keep buying the new hotness forever.

In general I agree with your opposition to "short-sighted nanny-state thinking", but this seems like the lightest touch that solves the problem of tech/wealth consolidation that I've seen, but I'm certainly interested in hearing about lighter solutions.

Light bulb cartel lol.

But seriously: it's not like it's a zero-sum game and it's disingenuous to pretend it is as it justifies inaction and not having small wins that can add up over time. Specifically about lightbulbs, reducing the energy use of lightbulbs across the board is a win, just like reducing the amount of petrol burned.

This was common for a while, and the backlash against it is one of the things the article is addressing. I for instance have very little memory of my life before 18, and accessing that has been taking many months of intense therapy. There was a time when literally any memory recovery would’ve been regarded as highly suspicious, and it’s true memory isn’t always exact, but it’s not as if my therapist is implanting suggestions. They all come from my mind and they do not guide it, only expand.

The Guardian, and a few other outfits in global media sold its readership very hard on the "Gadhafi killing his own people" fallacy to enable Islamist gangs to plunder and maim and kill and ruin the societal fabric of Libya (and a few southern neighbors). Since then, Libya is a wasteland, its inhabitants enslaved as a whole (as opposed to the few political (read Islamists) prisoners' under the Gadhafi dictatorship), deaths in the tens of thousands, prisoners are not accounted for under any authority.

Also the Guardian, just like most MSM holds a grudge against FB: how dare they eat their pie, all of it, and they let people escape from their 'single-eyed war-enabling worldview'?

Lay the FB 'hate' aside, will ya? For all its dehumanizing power (as much as the rest of 'social media' and technology in general) FB has not committed the 1/10000th of the harm these champions of virtue in the MSM have done for the last couple centuries (steamrolling their power on most wars, worldwide or not).

The thing is though, that given the choice between effective and totalitarian people like to choose totalitarianism because it's just so much easier to just do whatever they want vs actually thinking about how to build a sustainable system.

Honestly it's highly analogous to environmental protection. Instead of thinking about the external damage they're causing, groups of people just think about the fastest most effective way to make a buck.

And just like environmentally irresponsible corporations, societally irresponsible governance will result in environmental damage. If you say, "Give these guys all the power and they'll make the environment safe." then the result is going to be a safer environment until they get bored. Then they'll damage the environment because they have the power to do so and it's easier for the environment to be damaged. (Or people offer them bribes, or because they see ways to grab more power, or ... )

The concern to avoid totalitarianism is necessary to avoid long term environmental damage.
This is a great plan to make China, India and other non-EU countries stop caring about international cooperation entirely.

The EU needs remade as a coalition of European states, not a proxy for a centralized world government. Solutions to environmental problems will be decentralized and economic in nature.
