But the risk to individual humans has dropped substantially as technology advanced. People were much more likely to just starve to death 100 years ago or die from simple medical ailments.

The pressure we are putting on other species and flora is immense but humanity’s future has never been so certain.

The only way to claim civilization collapse is to move the goal posts to a population decimation. But even that would still only put us where we were less than 200 years ago.
Yeah that's right I struggled over that wording. I thought this sounded cool and upbeat but I don't know how to say it in a way where it's obvious what it does.

I guess I could say 'embed browsers in your web app' but I have no idea if that will make more sense to people.

You first accused me of lying about Ontario's "subjective mathematics" announcement. So I showed you how that's exactly what they had:

> An equitable mathematics curriculum recognizes that mathematics can be subjective. Mathematics is often positioned as an objective and pure discipline.

thus refuting your "misinformation" claim.

Claiming I am making false accusations while I am literally citing the archive page and the governor's response of why they removed the "subjective" nonsense is plain mental gymnastics. Why don't you simply agree that I was correct since even Doug Ford admits the nonsense was there in the curriculum?

Because in many locations around the world, it's not as simple as a criminal offence, it's a civil dispute, as once you have commenced "squatting", you are now an occupant, rather than a clear trespasser. Many squatters find squatting manuals online detailing the local laws and how best to approach it to maximum time available in the property.
In my first job out of college was supporting monitoring software in big financials. They often didn't even know what they were running.

More than once got sat down and told to connect to their HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Linux, etc box and setup things up.

Would have to go back and explain that particular server was actually something different and I'd put the appropriate build on it.

Of course, every system had to have it's own build, and own scripts to accommodate all the differences mentioned here. University CS courses had definitely not covered things like GNU vs BSD tools, and various other differences.

I remember being advised early on in that job to learn vi, not because it's the best editor, but just because it's the only one you can rely on being everywhere, on every server. There were other discussions in the office about which editor for actual dev work, but for client visits on random servers - vi is always there.

This one puzzles me. There seems to be a concerted effort with shared messaging preventing neutral discussions of ivermectin, regardless of whether or not it has any benefits with regard to covid. What interests me is the motivations and confluence of groups that are effectively censoring public discourse through suppression, guilt by association, and other mud slinging tactics, despite what looks to be an interesting possible course of treatment and prevention. I don't know that there's any human or group pulling the strings or if it's a coincidental harnessing of an advantageous narrative by multiple parties, but it's completely illegitimate regardless.

But no! Horse dewormer eating Maga cultists will shock and disturb you!

Makes me wonder what else is similarly suppressed and censored in the west.
Depends on how you look at it. If the owner has 10 restuarants, and is making $750,000 per year, let's say, then he or she does have an unlimited amount of money, compared to the workers, especially if the workers are making the federal minimum wage of $7.25.

If they have a small mom and pop company that cannot pay workers at least $50,000, then they need to go out of business. Then, as more and more shops go out of business, then there will be less of a supply and then the company can demand more money from customers and pay their workers more. Except, the reality is that the owners WILL make more money, but still won't want to pay their employees more, and will give the same line - that that type of labor is unskilled and f-ck them, which means more money for the owner. That's the reality. And if true that the labor is unskilled and the owner shouldn't pay more, then the workers should not come back to work.

All the Wall Street journals and pro-business journals and business videos have mouth noises that people don't have to accept the wages and it is voluntary work. But, when it actually happens, the cry like a bunch of little babies and say that the worker is at fault for not wanting to work for no insurance, shitty wages, and not being able to afford housing. Well, let the business owners do all of the work without workers, and get all the money. Sounds good to me.

You like your Mexican food, but only want to pay .89 cents for it? Good. You go grow the beans, grow the wheat or corn to make your own tortillas. Buy and milk your own damn cow in order to get the beef and milk the cow to make sour cream, and grow an avocado tree to make your own guacamole.

It's ok. Do it yourself. Let all the cheap restaurants go out of business. Deal with it.

And that the story. That's the REAL story, not the one that you are making up.

However, there might be a solution. If a business shows me all their financials, ALL of them, and the personal financial statements, and if I see that they are not making a lot of money, that's fine, maybe I will work for them. But if I see that they have 10 restaurants and make $750,000 per year, well, f the f out of them. But, business owenrs, show me your financials. You don't want to? Fine. Do it yourself. But I'm not going to work for $18,000 with zero benefits, while you're making $750,000. You say your contributions is worth more? Good. Do it yourself. I, and everyone else, don't accept that wage anymore, so do it yourself and go out of business, and you won't get that $750,000 per year anymore anyways.
You didn't even take a look at https://get.docker.io

It's still downloading and executing a script, just two steps instead of piping the output straight into bash.

I think one of the foremost solutions to this problem set is Substack. There are a non-trivial number of journalists on there who's pitch is "hey, I don't want to be part of an institution that has bias/that I don't believe in, give me money and I'll deliver long form 'pure' essays to you."

The potential pitfall is that one can end up only subscribing to journalists that agree with ones point of view. I personally think this is offset by the kinds of view points that are attracted to or do well on a space like Substack, but that might just be me.

> Reversing the decline is a monster task — and one that some journalists and news organizations have taken upon themselves. They're going to need help — perhaps from America's CEOs.

Is this a bad joke? Distrust of media is largely brought about because it is (mostly) in the private sector and therefore always puts the sustainability of its business model above objective reporting. We've known for a while now that negative news sells, clickbait sells, and media organizations are all too happy to push it out there if it helps their struggling bottom line.

I think you are confusing privacy with security, which is a common mistake, not your fault -- end-to-end encryption is what secures the messages, by itself it does not ensure that the messages get to the right place or that the encryption keys are belonging to the right people. It needs to be used in combination with other methods and techniques. Explicit features that are in the domain of "privacy" would be ensuring messages are deleted on a regular basis, or some kind of key cycling, or an anonymizing service like tor, etc.

To use your example of emailing the police chief: let's say your threat profile is that you're being stalked by a criminal, and you want to email the police to give them information on this crime, but you don't want the criminal to know. If the criminal breaks into your email, or if your house is broken into and a hidden camera is placed behind your computer, it makes little difference whether you have end-to-end encryption or not, your privacy is still violated. Does that explain it better? Maybe Proton could have some better messaging around this, if their customers are getting privacy and security confused?
Perfectly said. There was even a show about this a decade ago, called The Newsroom, and on the show the network failed specifically because they reported only the news. It's actually a really good show, and in hindsight, prescient.
> at least not openly. In other words, they could have concealed the location of their services.

You can't provide a paid commercial service while hiding your business entity. And, on top of that, DNS and SMTP make this basically impossible technically as well. So what you're looking for is, at least when it comes to email, something that doesn't and can't exist.
> if you swap the "left" and "right" labels you comment will be just as true (or false, depending on whom you ask).

I don’t think this is true. It also misses the point I was making.

The NYT is hopelessly left leaning, but they don’t generally report straight up falsehoods. Rather they construct biased narratives out of true facts.

Contrast that with fox.
Food catch.

In other words: This article itself contributes more to increase mistrust in the media than it increases the trust in the media.

Yes, the individual risk has decreased but that is only if things stay the same and that doesn’t seem to me as very likely. Maybe we’ll colonize other solar systems and evolve further into something else if we manage to keep it together.
Shabbat Marxism
Civilization requires trust and fairness. Saying someone theoretically has a fair shake therefore an unfair outcome is fair won't keep getting it.

There's also this strange idea that government itself is a bad thing (from Thomas Payne's Common Sense?), when the problem would be bad government. Someone has to make the big decisions, so if it's not the government, then presumably it's whoever has the most power?

Then there is the general abandonment of spiritual values in the west? (If you think the U. S. is a religious country, just try getting Sundays off - I probably didn't get hired at a grocery store once because of this - in the Carolinas.)
That is correct. Which is why people are refusing to go back to work. The wealthy get wealthier and those at the bottom are getting left behind, with no insurance, hugely expensive housing prices. The dynamics are saying "F you". Perfectly realistic and playing out right now.
Oil companies are responsible for the canals, but that only allowed salt water to intrude quicker after rain or floods. But it doesn't change the overall regime of becoming salt dominant. It just means maybe 40 freshwater days a year instead of 50 at s given location, but it doesn't change what's growing there.

Additionally, marsh biological productivity has been directly tied to shoreline length. So a marsh with proper salinity levels and more shoreline will actually create more food, for more wildlife.

I do believe that they ought to be held to the terms of their permits, which is typically to backfill anything not actively maintained or abandoned. And to prevent erosion beyond the limits of the permits. But it doesn't seem that's part of the negotiation.

>fresh water induction would indeed kill a large percentage of anything living in that induction area,

False- the locations already getting freshwater (not sediment) diversions and the natural breaks in the levees are the only healthy parts of the marsh right now. Go look at them on Google Earth. Mardi gras pass and the other natural breaks are the only places naturally building land outside of the Atchafalaya Delta.

For the new sediment diversions: It's not going to kill anything-it's just going to push the brackish water out and the salt water further, for a limited number of weeks per year. The wildlife will move with it, as it always has.

The commercial guys don't want to burn more gas to get to saltwater, and the oyster guys (the real money and lobby power) don't want conditions to change at their existing water bottom leases.

>and those living things are part of the ecosystem that keeps the marshlands alive.

No freshwater mixing with saltwater is the basis for the entire estuary systems. Without that, the photosynthesis doesn't happen in the freshwater flora, and the food chain starts there for the rest of the living things.

>A decent percentage of the pumps in the city are broken for most of the year,

Political problem with the city, not an environmental or engineering problem.

Pushing narratives instead of reporting the truth has a corrosive effect on reputation, who knew? ;-)

There are many small teams on YouTube and other places that are building up a community of patrons to sponsor their efforts, both in news and other areas.

It is through these efforts that I see a replacement for the mass media emerging. Their dedicated non-advertiser driven source of support allows them to take risks that are simply not possible otherwise. They can tell the truth without worry of offending corporate overlords, or other institutions.

> crashes because the portion of wealth allocated to them is not enough,

This is an absolutely moronic premise to start with. The portion doesn’t matter as long as the purchasing power stays static or is increasing.

The population doesn’t collapse when people are still getting abundant food, shelter, etc regardless of how well the rich are doing. The focus on the income of the rich instead of poverty is a distraction to pull people into a power struggle they otherwise wouldn’t care about.

It’s better to have obscenely wealthy + a high earning middle class than poverty across the board. However, the reframing of everything into income inequality makes the latter sound somehow better.
I think those exposed to the Bible and heavy handed religion at a young age are predisposed to doomsday like tendencies due to the brutality of the old testament, and how it is frequently taught in American churches.

Some are not exposed to this, so they may think nothing can ever go wrong. Or they processed the New Testament or focused on that in their upbringing. Everyone else is just getting second hand panic or second hand calm.

I was exposed to both perceptions of reality growing up. That means I take loads of psychiatric medications and am still prone to meltdowns.

I often found that small doses of Melatonin worked much better for me and didn't give me headaches the next day. I buy the smaller dose available (3mg at my store though some places have 1mg too). I split the 3mg into half. So I take around 1.5mg which works good enough for me.

I also found the fancier "Melatonin Plus with L-Theanine and 5-HTP" to be not just expensive but also gave me severe headaches next day.
