" If people really need oil, they'll find ways to manufacture it more cheaply from biowaste."

What? No.

We don't care about the extraction.

If oil must be burned, don't care whether it's Oil from wells or Oil from biowaste.

If it's oil for burning an engine, and we need that engine to operate for some economic reason - then we actually want people to consume the cheapest version.

We don't want to make people jump through hurdles to 'run an engine that we need to run' for no reason.

We may want to make sure that running that engine is economically essential, in which case keeping prices high, or, by some regulation.

The act of 'extraction' is not a problem, there's not much negative from that.

Other than geostrategic issues (i.e. Russia) we don't care where it comes from.

What we want to do is tax the fuel itself - not emissions.

The emissions are a direct function of the fuel.

We know X litres of gas will create Y tonnes for Co2 and that's it. So tax the fuel instead of getting people to figure out emissions.

Oil that is used for other reasons, we don't really care about.

We could put a fuel tax, and a natural gas tax up right now - we already have mechanisms in place for that.

This is seductive and comforting to those of us who like fiction, far more than true. We want to believe it, and it may be valid for a few of us (certainly wrong for others) but worst, it's too easy to believe because we want to.

Those are the dangerous ideas, the ones with more appeal than truth. Was Donald Trump mocked and belittled publicly? Of course, and some of it was even unfair. Tiny hands or funny hair are cheap shots, but he also was happy to bully others, among other truly outrageous things. He clings to the small truth that the press is mean.

What I want to believe (what I feel is true) is irrelevant to reality, even if my feelings are the most compelling and memorable aspect of my experience. Each of us is the center of our own experience, but not the center of the world, so our view is inherently warped.

But it wasn't out of nowhere, Putin didn't want Ukraine to join with the west, so he took action.

I'm all with Ukraine but can we at least realize that the war didn't just fall out of the sky, that there's been some back and forth political stuff that lead up to this. Maybe something like joining NATO, the EU or maybe because he just woke up one day and said "I feel like I want Ukraine to be Russian".

It's been brewing since before Crimea, and I don't see Putin eyeing Gotland that hard yet.

Maybe I'm not very clever, but it's hard to guess what you're driving at here.
Yeah. Because there is a moralistic view that there is no way out—humans are evil and must atone. Any market-based or tech-based approach cannot work because we are dealing with sins.

A lot of armchair environmentalists have this view.

That Sweden does not want to be dragged into a war. There are countries in the NATO which Sweden has historically had quite big disagreements with, e.g Turkey and the US. And we do not want to be dragged into wars which we oppose. Military spending has never been an issue, during the cold war our military spending was higher than most NATO countries.
Digital gold is about how far as it gets. I can understand that. But I don't see Matt Damon hyping up gold during the Super Bowl. The price is not based on the assumption that it is digital gold.
The Silent 700 paper is the same stuff as thermal receipt printers we're all familiar with nowadays - I use thermal fax paper in mine. I understand that in the old days the paper was nastier than what we have now, though. Plus most workplaces probably bought the cheapest grade they possibly could, and I don't think they even _make_ thermal paper that cheap anymore.
Ah with the cheap medium format cameras I mean something like the Agfa Clack. Really cheap to get second hand but I don't see it producing decent quality pictures.

I did get an Epson V600 to do photo scanning, do you have any detail on why it would not produce good scans? I tested it with a few old 35mm negatives and it looked quite alright after disabling _all_ the postprocessing crap in the official software and loading it into darktable to do the negative processing.

Also thanks for the pointers on the medium format cameras. I guess I'll keep eying ebay for those cameras a bit longer.
One thing I'd like to see is a requirement that for all government funded research, a certain percentage of that funding, say 30%, must go toward replicating other publicly funded research that has had less than 2 independent and non-affiliated labs replicate. Any original research couldn't be published until at least two independent and non-affiliated labs replicate based on the submitted paper and report on the results that can then be included with the original research. I'd like to see this across all of academia, but I imagine there are enough challenges with enforcing this in a productive manner already that doing it across all research becomes both impractical and difficult to prevent abuse. But at least with public funds, it would be nice to put in some checks to reduce the amount of fraudulent or sloppy research that tax payers pay for.
Zelenskiy's #1 campaign promise was to negotiate peace with Russia - meaning fulfilling Ukraine's part of the Minsk accords, perhaps with some concessions. Overall, about 65% of the votes went to parties supporting it. ~72% if Donbas is included. There was a clear democratic mandate to do it

To his credit, he did try to set things in motion. Mere days after, ultra-nationalist right-wing militias threw violent protests, in which they tossed grenades at police, killing three, calling Zelenskiy a traitor and threatening to take his life if peace is enacted. The peace negotiator was arrested for treason. Zelenskiy backed down, reneged on his #1 campaign promise, and started ramping up the tensions. As a result, the polling results for his party dropped from ~50% to mere 17% at the onset of the war. We don't know what happened behind the doors to cause such a 180 turn, but it sure wasn't pretty

I think it's painful because terminals and ssh are just second class citizens. Dotfiles, ssh key storage etc are just not a first class concept (at least not in the same way as on linux) etc. And also things like clipboards don't work - which to a linux user might seem like a non-issue (It just never worked well) but that's a much more painful experience if you are used to it working.
My SWE Expat Story – Part 1
> Has the mechanism been completely documented?

To put it simply: No.

To put it in more words: The most recent and accurate model of how it is expected to have worked is from just last year [0]. We have had working models produced in the real world, and have had computer simulations as well, but they have involved best-guesses at some parts here and there. However, even that model has a major flaw - it depends on the Greeks having access to a technology (hollow tubing of a particular accuracy), that we have no evidence that they did.

> This is a seller strike not a worker strike, just to clarify.

I found this clarification interesting. If a headline said “Uber Strike”, I think most of us would assume it was the drivers (rather than Uber’s in-house employees) striking. I naturally thought the exact same thing here.
Just google "gorbachev saddam 1991"

The answer is "pretty much true".
If you tax CO2 emissions by everyone, and then distribute the money equally among the population, normal people end up with more money afterwards because they tend to emit less CO2 than rich people.

It is also better at reducing emissions, because then less CO2-intensive options become cheaper than the alternative.
You are fixating on the "feminists" when I just mentioned that they are an example. You can look up and see that I have said that. You know who Matt Taibbi is, so ... it just looks like you are playing dumb.

Instead of trying to explain things to you, I am going to ask questions and you can try to answer them.

1) Have you ever heard the phrase "across the aisle?" Consider this in the Congressional sense.

2) On what side or in what political party would you say that most of the feminists, despite their myriad combinations, would reside?

3) What side are the people who are against "cancel culture" on, generally? Again: as a trend.

4) Combining the answers to the first three, can you diagram out where the aisle is, where #2 is, and where #3 is?

5) What is the purpose of selecting an example from "the other side," generally?

This is also the strongest headline I’ve seen in Anglo-American media, though there are a lot on the recent policy statements and movements, which have been quite strong but not definitive (and are at least in part intended to put pressure on Russia wrt Ukraine, so in the unlikely event that that situation resolves itself in the interim could easily be backed away from.)
And there have been proposals to make electric cars produce engine noises for safety. It makes sense to consider this, but making loud warning noises seems like a huge problem. This also comes up with back up beepers and garage exit activity warning buzzers.
I'm sorry that you're finding the truth inconvenient, but yes, those who can't bring themselves to outright condemnation of the war — which includes torture, rape of women and children, mass destruction of civilian homes, war crimes, and genocide — are also morally reprehensible.

So which side are you on?
Just because the EU gets involved, doesn't mean NATO will follow suit.

There's an argument that EU is the aggressor for the purposes of Article 5 if it comes to the aid of a non-NATO member. The USA and other non-EU members would have the option to sit that one out, if they wanted. Alternatively, they could offer support to only NATO members.

This is probably part of what's spurring NATO membership. I bet most Fins and Swedes thought that the USA would deploy forces the event of a conflict. Now they see that American policy will be aid only, regardless of the death and destruction.

If NATO wouldn't react then it's a joke and effectively dissolved and Russians are free to invade whoever they feel stronger than.
Trashing the invading force seems like fast way to prevent the war from escalating.
Afghanistan is another, and perhaps better since article 5 was invoked, argument against.

Finland is very likely to join NATO. Support for NATO among the population is very high and among active Finnish military personnel it's over 90%. The country shares a border with Russia and there is some historical bad blood between Finland and Russia.

However only 50% of Swedes want to join NATO and the current ruling government is anti-NATO.

If I was a betting person I would put the likelihood of Finland joining NATO at 99% and the likelihood of Sweden joining NATO at 0%.

No one else provided examples nor asked for any. Perhaps you should ask for examples instead of assuming I'm acting out of malice. Here's a link to the full video for probably the most widely recognized case in the history of police brutality, the killing of George Floyd.

Does the context this video provides make the officers actions okay? No, I don't think so. Does it make those actions appear much, much more reasonable than it was made out to be on social media? Absolutely.

> We should be pushing to replace ICE vehicles with EV's, but we should also be pushing to make mass transit more viable, and make our communities more pedestrian/bicycle friendly

Sure. That doesn’t make EVs a “short term solution”. This is in the same category of fallacy that lead hippie-era greens to oppose nuclear power. It’s not nukes or windmills, it’s nukes or coal.
Can we please start de-escalating this situation? Speculative headlines like these do nothing to improve the situation.
No, what I'm saying is that you can purchase everything except marketing, and presumably the folks striking would handle the rest, so in sum, yes they could "do the entire thing yourself."

You should look up the history of etsy, it literally began by a mass exodus away from eBay. I'll never understand why people handcuff themselves and then complain about it. The question in the end if whether etsy is worth it to them after all of the fees, restrictions, etc. If so, continue, if not, move. Both the etsy sellers and etsy itself aim to maximize profit.
Because you should tax the thing you want to stop. Burning carbon is absolutely fine, provided the carbon originally came from the atmosphere and not buried deposits. It's the open-loop cycle that's the problem. The moment you dig it up, eventually it's bound for atmosphere. You want to financially encourage the development of "green" petroleum - nobody will bother if it's taxed all the same.

Also, if you try and individually tax the hundreds of thousands of different uses for carbon, according to how much carbon each thing uses, inevitably you'll get it wrong, and this will create inefficiencies and perverse incentives to do arbitrage between the various poorly calibrated taxes. What you want is for the market to figure it all out!

I dropped my Prime membership over a year ago and have no regrets. eBay has made that possible. I’ve gotten consistently fair prices and quick shipping, and ironically fewer quality issues. Target and Costco have also become a bigger factor as well with free shipping and in store returns.

My cloud computing has moved to GCP, DO, and my homelab (built from eBay stuff!).

I still use Amazon if I have no other option. I just pay for shipping, but surprise… it’s usually still free over $25.

Negative film has a shockingly high dynamic range. It’s high enough that you can easily run into dynamic range limitations elsewhere in the system (e.g. lens, paper) before you run into the limitations of the film itself. TMX reportedly has a dynamic range of something like 20 stops in the laboratory (not that you’d be able to show off that range in a print).

The colors are a bit exaggerated in consumer film, like the Kodak Gold which the author is shooting. Kodak wants people to come back from vacation with nice, colorful pictures. You can get the same, vivid colors in digital, but I think most digital cameras (including phones) just default to a more naturalistic look—IMO, I am so happy with the default colors on most digital cameras, compared to the brighter color settings you’d get from consumer film. One of the big ways you get colors to pop in film is by adjusting the contrast. You’ll notice that film pays for that contrast and color with reduced detail in the shadows and often garish-looking skin tones.
I'm going to sidestep the rail & bicycle hole here and focus on busses since those are the closest alternative in America specifically. I wish bikes were more feasible nationwide though.

There are plenty of population centers that aren't densely urban. Cities in the 200k to 400k range seem like they're just starting to be big enough to support a regional bus system on their own, or with the support of a nearby larger city.

The problem is how infrequently they would run though. Those cities tend to sprawl just a bit as they haven't made the full transition to multi-tenant dwellings so lots of folks would have to walk multiple blocks sometimes to get to a stop.

Individually operated vehicles, namely cars, are still the name of the game for the vast majority of America. But then you run into the electrification issues I mentioned. A lot of these neighborhoods have very old electrical systems, and while we've made a ton of room by not running 60W light bulbs everywhere, I'm not sure we could handle charging 50k electric cars per night in many medium sized cities.
I agree that Putin is the issue, but he's been quite clear of his demands and that there will be repercussions if not upheld.

Since Sweden hasn't ever been part of NATO nor felt the need to, why now all of a sudden when that was part of what triggered the conflict putting an entire country into ruins.

You have very strange look on history.

North Korea appears because of Russian intervention, lead by Joseph Stalin.

Taliban was toy movement, nothing serious, before Russian intervention to Afghanistan in 1978.

You should understand one thing - US, Britain, France, even modern Germany are really strong players, but Russia after 1917 becomes small player with inadequate ambitions, so Russia could not play solo.
And because of this, Russia constantly tried to break games of strong players, or as it named now - they try to break world game.

US after WWII becomes something what Russian named world gendarme (this is direct translation), so US have to spend resources and send military to other parts of world, to keep peace there.

BTW answer question (yes, this is test) - why do you think, mostly US military was in Yugoslavia (center of Europe), not European?

What about those countries with sanctions from the US or governments that don't allow the USD to be used, such as Cuba? Do you think the majority of people in Nigeria pay their rent with a USD note or a gold coin? Yes you can get USD on the black market but it's at a much worse rate than the global exchange rate. You're going to be paying, most likely, with M-PESA or a digital currency like eNaira. But maybe you want to avoid 15.7% inflation or high fees?
