> It's pretty strange how all of those metrics start at 1960, no?

No, "all of those metrics" on the many pages linked from the EPA page do not start at 1960.

Stop making false statements. Doing so hurts your credibility and wastes our time.

Try slowing down and reminding yourself of your preconceived biases. Double check what you are seeing. Look for things that don't confirm what you already believe.
> If it is the least-bad long term option

The thing is you have no way to know that in advance. And people may disagree what "least-bad" even means, it's extremely subjective.

I'm gonna disagree that deliberately killing innocent people is ever an ethically correct choice.
Why do you assume the only options are being controlled by a different self-serving employer, or having the government regulate everything? After all, shouldn't those who actually form the workforce of a company and shape the products and services it offers be in control? Why not have those who actually do the work collectively control the fate of the company, instead of having to hand over that power to someone else?

By that argument, DM was already falsified by the observations pointed out in this article and the paper I linked. Your claim that DM could "fit all of these observations at the same time" is just wrong. DM has been tuned to correct its parameter-free predictions, so if you're going to compare like against like, then MOND should be permitted to be tuned to fit as well, and we can judge in the end which theory requires the least fine-tuning.

As for galaxies without DM, those observations are still being debated, but even if true, that doesn't entail MOND can't explain those results.

Oh I would not have been able to contain myself, I would have been laughing out loud.

That said, there's this weird wave of 'empathy realization' happening among the traditional white boomer business class with the diversity thing. It's as though they haven't thought about the issue before, and they're all having these personal 'moments' making these 'realizations' for the first time.

It's a bit like when you visit a country for the first time, you're overwhelmed by all of the details until the familiarity and 'reality' of it wipes away the romanicization.

I think a lot of those tears of empathy are actually 'real tears'. While might in a way be more authentic, it almost doubles the cringe factor because WTF kind of person is so 'moved' because they have a 'diversity program'. It's like those Hollywood movies where the white family adopts the black kid who 'does well' etc..

We need much, much more reasonable cynicism and satire in pop culture. SNL for example doesn't do it so much except for politics. I think too many studios are afraid of what big advertisers might think.
I've always thought the phrase "I take [full] responsibility" should be viewed as being completely and utterly meaningless, unless it's immediately followed by the words "so I am resigning with immediate effect".
In an alternate ending, Japan would not have surrendered, and, like in Berlin, fought till the end. Every large city would have been bombed, one after another. Only the military would have been far enough from cities to live.
> And said proxy could bounce your request around for max 30 hops before a random IPFS-proxy honors the request. This is horrible for user privacy.

It literally says: I have insisted, in the PR for ipfs support to curl, that the IPFS URL handling code should not automatically follow such gateway redirects, as I believe that adds even more risk to the user so if a user wants to allow this operation, it should be opt-in.
Where is it disputed? I would like to be informed on this.

Each time I dig into this, both sides at the time believed millions more would die in resistance of a US invasion. The only way less people will die from not nuking them is if the US was to accept an armistice and avoid invading mainland and hope ina few decades the japanese empire will not go at it again.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Downfall#

> While Japan no longer had a realistic prospect of winning the war, Japan's leaders believed they could make the cost of invading and occupying the Home Islands too high for the Allies to accept, which would lead to some sort of armistice rather than total defeat. The Japanese plan for defeating the invasion was called Operation Ketsugō (決号作戦, ketsugō sakusen) ("Operation Codename Decisive"). The Japanese planned to commit the entire population of Japan to resisting the invasion, and from June 1945 onward, a propaganda campaign calling for "The Glorious Death of One Hundred Million" commenced.[48] The main message of "The Glorious Death of One Hundred Million" campaign was that it was "glorious to die for the holy emperor of Japan, and every Japanese man, woman, and child should die for the Emperor when the Allies arrived".[48] While this was not realistic, both American and Japanese officers at the time predicted a Japanese death toll in the millions

“Monday, Tuesday, Banana”. The first two components, which create an expectation, are the set-up; and, the third that confounds the expectation is the payoff, or the punchline.

There was never any chance of me paying for rhel if they had been upfront about the support lifetime of centos I would have just used Debian and every one would be happy. The only problem was them binning it over night. If your business does a rug pull like this what else are people going to think?

If a business says one thing it's not entitled for people to expect them to keep to their word, if they don't keep to their word you can expect backlash, thats not entitlement. The whole thing reads as "Consumers need to think about the feelings of corporations"

Many comments here lament that adtech won, and that corporate speak is still the norm. All true, but many of the more “structural” premises have held, and we just don’t see them because they’re the norm now.

People are much more empowered to know the truth: Amazon reviews, restaurant reviews etc. Yes they can be manipulated, and yes counterfeit products can make their way into the supply chain, but we are forgetting that before the internet the lack of scaled reviews meant many more bad meals at restaurants.

Reviews accelerated evolutionary pressures on businesses. They got better!

Companies are more open and don’t / can’t keep secrets as they previously did. While imperfect, Glassdoor changed things for the better.

I’d even posit that while many huge brands still corpspeak, many are much more casual and some (Tesla, via Musk for example) are radically open and engage with their customers directly- truly listening and interacting and taking advice.

"In the years after the failure of the Homestead strike, O'Donnell found himself --blackballed-- from returning to work in the steel industry. Needing to adopt a new career, he moved to Philadelphia and took a job as a newspaper reporter.[12]

In about 1903, O'Donnell accepted a position in government employment as a deputy to the Pennsylvania state factory inspector.[13] This job placed O'Donnell in crowded Pennsylvania tenements and poorly ventilated factories on a regular basis, and he subsequently contracted tuberculosis as a result.[14] Stricken seriously ill by the disease, in November 1905 O'Donnell left the Northeast for the warmer and drier climate of the Southwest, accompanied by relatives, in an effort to regain his health.[14] Newspaper accounts from December of that year place O'Donnell in the city of El Paso, Texas.[15]"

I doubt Germans have twice the purchasing power as Finns.
Are you talking about actual C-level executives at major corporations, or just mid-level managers you've had?
I'd guess that they used to have very good discounted contracts but are not able to renew them anymore.

The cost they charge also includes the cooling, so you could see it as for example 30c/kWh for power, 15c/kWh for cooling to compare it to a consumer contract. Maybe they have published their ratio of that split "on average" before.

When I'm buying something, I'm not thinking much about their margins. For me, it's mostly about value.

An ebook is searchable, gives me instant access to a dictionary, doesn't take up space in my house, I can read in the dark, it's more comfortable to hold, and I can set the font to a size that works for my aging eyes. That $10 ebook of The Dog Stars is a much better value for me than a $4 paperback copy.

Paper books have their place too. For example, I want physical cookbooks that I can leave open on a stand as I work in the kitchen.
You can't really compare the two as one was a greenfield top-down project while the other is an old already built-out and developed city.

And have you been to Moscow lately?

Current situation aside, Moscow is easily one of the cleanest and most well functioning cities in Europe. There's plenty of construction and a lot of renovation. They recently completed their second ring metro line (second!) complete with beautiful and unique stations:

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/12/08/moscow-metro-opens...

It's actually shocking to land there after spending a couple days in NYC. I'd (and many Russians) would argue that there's actually too much investment in Moscow and not enough outside of it.

A lot of Westerns have an distorted understanding of what Moscow is actually like due to how it's (intentionally) depicted in Hollywood. If you want to get an idea of what Moscow feels like check YouTube for the "Lost in Moscow" channel and just scroll through a bunch of their videos. Here's an example:

If you took all the income from the billionaires and distributed it evenly, the average person wouldn't even get a 2% raise. If you took all the wealth and distributed it evenly, the a average person wouldn't even get $500.

In the US - Billionaires have $1.3T: https://americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaires/

That's ~$3880 per US person. Globally, there's a lot more people, and countries aren't as rich as the US.

Even if you count their entire change in net wealth in good years as income - their best year ever - during the pandemic - Billionaire wealth increased $240B. That's not even $900 per person in the US. Median salary was almost $43k: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_Unite.... That's ~2%.

This is counting billionaire income and realized and unrealized capital gains - cherry picked to the best year ever. It's a massive overstatement.

Even if you cherry pick the best 11-year bull run ever - from 2010-2021 - Billionaire wealth increased $2.57T. That's $697 per year per person. Barely a 1.5% increase.

Even if you try to get exclusionary - let's only include workers - not children, retirees, or the disabled or the poor - you get ~$1400 per person per year - a ~3.3% increase.

And it's a ridiculous idea. If you took all their capital gains starting in 2010 - they wouldn't have compounded. Most of the gains wouldn't have occurred. You'd end up with an even smaller number less than 1% for everyone, less than 2% for workers.

It's not the reason people who work at Google and Intel aren't mega rich.

And even in the US, Billionaires are definitely not the reason that people who work minimum wage or don't work at all are poor.

Billionaires are concentrated disproportionately in rich places like the US and the EU. Globally the true picture disputes this article much more. There's 5x more people on the planet than in just the US and the EU - but the billionaires there have almost 70% of billionaire wealth.

Do billionaires have enough money that it's creating systematic problems and we should do something about it? That's a different question.

They don't have so much money that they're causing everyone else to be poor.
The merkle root of the DAG over the chunks is not related to the file's hash.

Imagine if I gave you a file out of a git repo, and the long commit hash. It's insufficient on its own to verify integrity, you need the intermediate nodes.

With ipfs you can infer that it used the reference chunker and try to reproduce the DAG but there is no guarantee it will work.

Better to just speak ipfs to the p2p net and get the DAG.
We can choose who we work for (sometimes), but we can't choose not to work at all. Our engagement in the capitalist labour market is mandatory; otherwise we starve to death. Doesn't sound like we have much control over our labour to me.
IPFS isn't fit for purpose.

It needs censorship-resistance added. It needs user privacy added.

Both of those could be enabled by combining data blocks semi-randomly. Ie. rather than downloading the data you're looking for, you download a block of data containing what you're looking for and some other data. Then nobody knows what it was you were looking at. Some combined blocks might contain a few bytes of data from thousands of files.

For censorship resistance, rather than users pinning individual files, the network needs to assign them blocks they must store (or be kicked off the network). Some of those blocks will be combined blocks which contain a few bytes some users may not wish to store - and that's fine, it means IPFS isn't for them.

Remember that data can be encrypted by content hash, so there is no way to know what you're storing unless you go scouring the public internet for a key to decrypt it.

Very good list. As a daily user of /e/, I can attest to most of the concerns, which I agree are valid.

Advanced Privacy is a major WTF. Using TOR without mentioning it is strange. And so is their all-or-nothing location faker tool. Sounded nice until I wanted to use a navigation app, which too got my fake location. Then I had to disable the faking, making my location available to all applications - quite a headscratcher.

CleanAPK is another WTF baked-in dependency. I suppose they are running it themselves, just not in the open, because of copyright and other issues maybe? I don't know, they don't tell me, and why are we left guessing such an important thing on a privacy phone?

An update also borked my phone, forcing it into a reboot loop. Granted, it was from 0.something to 1.something, but still, it was the next update in line, I thought the updater could manage it.

Aside from these, I'm still a happy user of the system. I appreciate the degoogling effort over the mainline LineageOS.

I'd like to have a question about DivestOS. Which device(s) do you regard as the main one(s)? I mean, which do you think will receive the most updates, the longest support, and so on? I'd wager the ones marked "Tested working" are the most healthy?
There's a more than probable markup for redundancy and management.

Anyway, I believe industrial power billing is quite a trip (at least in Spain), and probably have a miriad of different prices depending on the hour of the day, and different guarantees of delivery compared to a regular user.

Look into Georgism, that's where the cool kids are now. You don't need a revolution, you need a minor shift in tax code that you haven't thought of yet.

It's not the problem of your employer that prices around you increase, so don't make them a villain that you can't pay your rent. Go complain to your slumlord for riding the inflation wave and tak(x)ing away any raise and disposable income your employer gave you.

I completely agree. For me, GitLab is primarily a place where I dump my personal code. Having a monthly $5 subscription for that is acceptable - an annual $228 payment is not, especially because I don't even _need_ the premium features!

I consume maybe a few megabytes of disk space. Why do they want to get rid of me so badly? In the past I have highly recommended GitLab because they are actually really good, but stuff like this does make me rethink that.

I became a senior dev in many trials by fire without being groomed by another senior dev or management. I doubt in my world of niche programming anyone can even be a"senior dev" like the web dev space, it's just too fluid of a space.
Linux solves a similar problem sometimes by asking the user if they'd like that feature or not. I'd really appreciate that, of course, while understanding that all these need a lot of extra effort.

I agree, but maybe a more modern angle is “there’s no bad engagement”. Algorithms don’t distinguish whether a post is going viral because people like it or because people are dunking on it, and a category of posters have definitely exploited that.
So that you decide if you want to buy the one with ads (eww, gross!) or the one without ads (woohoo, I beat the system for a tenner!). Meanwhile Amazon are happy you bought one of them rather than deciding to buy one or not.

The ads are the front cover of some other book on the lock screen instead of the one you're reading. I dislike a lot of Amazon's methods but this one scenario is honestly a contender for least invasive advert still in use 2022.
Co-ops are quite common but I guess the problem is that if they grow the old co-ops guys becomes the shareholders of a corp. So co-ops stay small or becomes corps.
They are publishing the prices now, just not in the main pricing page until the prices are current:

The new prices for the colocation electricity/air conditioning rates are:

\*These prices do not include VAT.
I have a very detailed spreadsheet where I modeled everything, maintenance expenses, taxes, fees and the opportunity cost of all those maintenance expenses going up over time as opposed to invest them in the market. I couldn’t find any online calculator that was as thorough as mine, as they all suffered from some variation of what you are describing.

In almost every single test I’ve done, buying becomes way cheaper than renting and investing the difference after 5-10 years. Pretty much the only case where renting gets ahead is basically if the house appreciates less than the rate of inflation (again, painting broad strokes here, please do not interpret me too literally), or if one wants to move too frequently (my case).

This is not because housing is some magic investment, but because fixed cheap leverage is. If I could get a 30 year fixed-rate cheap non-callable loan to invest in market indexes, it would be a similar situation, but margin is an incredibly riskier different instrument.

> People still believe in 10x. People also believe in agile. It's amazing.

I'm not sure it's the same people who 'believe' in both, or... there's more nuance.

I 'believe' in the '10x' thing, because... at times, I've been the 10x person, by many metrics (bugs closed, docs written, tests written, lines of code, tickets addressed, etc). And yes, I'm aware that metrics like that can be gamed in some fashion. I never did, mostly because it's not really apparent at the time there's an output imbalance, but looking back at some numbers like those, I was the '10x' person on a team. It said as much or more about the rest of the team than it did me personally. I've been on other teams where I was decidedly not a 10x, and do have memories of being the -2x person a few times.

I 'believe' in agile, but only to the extent that it supports and enhances an already functioning team. I've seen it played out in a team from a few years ago, and it was as much of a 'well-oiled machine' as you could get while being a growing startup expanding and hiring a lot. That said, the skills and people together would have worked decently and productively together absent any formal process. Obviously just 'imo', but after decades in software, you sort of get a sense of skill levels and ability. We/they were a decent team, and would have been without 'agile' - that was some extra layers of process and ceremony which no doubt helped some people with visibility. That benefit was largely ancillary to the delivery of working software. One could argue the 'repeatability' and 'onboarding' benefits of 'agile', but I've not seen it be a huge boon in most teams I've seen adopt 'agile'.
>#1 - we do, we can quit anytime we want and find another place to work for.

Sometimes this is not straight forward for example when you have some responsibilities in your life, or when your career is too specialized with little to no transferable skill (like when you´re proficient at an internal process of a company).

Unless we could quit and be self sustainable without a job, then yes, at that point you could say one can quit anytime we want to find another place to work for.
