> "maybe your local public transport is crap, but it’s easier and better for the whole society to try and fix that than to try and impose cycling paths that would be used by only a small percentage of the people living there"

Nonsense. Cycle paths aren't "imposed" on anyone - they're far cheaper to build and maintain than public transport and are an asset to society.

It's easy to say "why build cycle lanes when nobody cycles", but the reason nobody cycles in your town is because there isn't safe infrastructure for cycling. If you build enough cycle-friendly infrastructure, people will use it because suddenly a lot of trips become practical, convenient, and safe by bike that weren't before.

Plus, you save a lot in long-term healthcare costs by promoting a healthier, more active population! But even die-hard car drivers benefit from increased cycling thanks to reduced traffic and congestion.
Probably the Mr Robot thing. I mostly use Firefox (and recommend it), but they do appear to be run by MBAs or marketers— not sure which.

How many base stations can you reasonably fit on a tower, how many redundant networks (even without redundant towers) can the market support? Let's say... 3 or 4?
Because most of those alternatives are just economic Wunderwaffen. It’s going to be a very bad landing for the common people in the West, not sure if it will also bring systemic change, but something will have to give. I just hope we’re not at the 1932 metaphorical moment.
You have one life. You are not necessarily meant to spend every waking moment doing something productive. Humans are not machines. We are complex beings with feelings, hopes, and fears. As long as playing World of Warcraft didn't cause your grades to slip in school, your graduation to be delayed, your personal relationships to falter, or your life goals to be delayed, then there is nothing to regret. You played a game because it brought you happiness, joy, entertainment. You did the thing you wanted, even if it didn't help further any of your long term life goals. The game brought you something positive in the moment. Given the resources at your disposal and your limited knowledge of the world at the time, you did the right thing for yourself. Don't beat yourself up. There will be plenty of time to take care of the important things when you get there. You have one life, and even more importantly, one youth. What's more typical than a 14 yo playing WoW? You shared a positive experience with millions of other people your age.
Thats coz when we max out renewables 40% of electricity still comes from gas. Theres literally zero point in storage until renewable generation starts edging towards 100% at least sometimes.

Investment has started though - there's coire glas, which is taking about 5 years to build. 5 more of them and we could go 99% renewable on solar and wind alone.
Isn't plausible deniability great? They get the benefit of the doubt, while at the same time jealously guarding their secrets.
A lot of electricity is generated by gas.
I think the most steelman version is that he argues efficient software does in fact provide value to users. Whether or not they know it. And perhaps not always in terms of the application they have running right in front of them, but at a systemic or societal level. Little things add up, especially since software has eaten nearly every crumb.
That, and their paid-for subscriptions are natural extensions of the already super useful platform. Either more quantity (actions) or more useful features on top of an already fully useful feature set.

Users pay for convenience and for more, not just slightly better.
It's very interesting but just makes you realize how much we waste. There's probably more plastic in those tags than in the plastic bag the bread is in.

Perhaps manufacturers see them as a customer convenience, to 'reseal' the bag when removing slices of bread. But a more environmental option would be to heat-seal the bag with some excess length, so customers could just cut the seal off, and then use their own (metal, wood, designer, whatever) clips/pegs to seal the bag. Or just move the loaf to a bread bin.
Government controlled media and censorship, what could possibly go wrong?
...and what is your source for any of this information? US news media? In a context where a man is cited for the theory that the ruling class of the US uses news media skillfully to get its population to adopt incorrect beliefs and support policies that favour the agenda of said ruling class, the retort that you know from the same news media that he has supported things which the same news media has told you are bad and untrustworthy (and hence presumably is bad and untrustworthy himself) is not particularly relevant.

This is markedly not to say that it's impossible that he has actually supported {Soviets, Russians, Khmer Rouge, etc.}, or that any or all of those things are as bad as widely believed; only that we would expect exactly these observations (of widespread news-mediated belief of Chomsky being morally reprehensible and unworthy of trust) if his theory is in fact correct, and if P(X|Y) and P(X|~Y) are equal then X is not evidence for or against Y.
Is Facebook the public square all of a sudden? I thought it was a private company.
I reckon it’s ok to be a kid and do fun things such as games, who knows maybe games spurred your current interest in tech and developing etc. Make the best of how you feel now and start reading about your new interests, you can develop on any pc it does not need to cost a large amount of money. Remember to still have fun too though!
It means I will continue to spread information on previously unknown ways on how to generate energy, until we can buy those devices at Walmart.

Russia has been biding their time, occasionally showing that they are willing to turn off the tap.

They clearly want to save the weapon for winter though. When temperatures drop, Russia will sadly have the entirety of Europe by the balls. It is simply unthinkable that the population will be willing to stomach blackouts or not being able to heat their homes.

I don't see a way out but the unfortunate outcome that Ukraine will be sacrificed.
We are still waiting on Hillary’s emails to be prosecuted.
The opposite throughout history seems to be the State becomes both the government, and those who “own for a living”. You go from a mixture of corrupt powers to one corrupt, almost absolute power.

I choose neither. Is there another alternative?

It's $8 for me, the yearly sub is a 42% discount.

Even at $15, that's pretty fair given that it's a tool that someone is going to use for their job or at least an involved hobby.
Correct. We don’t have a cost of living crisis per se.

We have a Gas crisis - like the Oil crisis of the 1970s.

To get more gas we’d have to outbid other nations, and to do that we’d need to strengthen Sterling.

Which we could do by reducing other imports - particularly Chinese ones (leveraging their dirty peg to the dollar).

All we can do is reduce demand for gas or move the problem to some other nation via the floating exchange rate.

There are no good solutions for this winter.
Would you say one is used more than the other in the industry or is it more of a fair split?

Isn't it strange how both sides of the political divide have no problem assuming the ineptitudes of their opponents derive from bad motives? By definition Liz Truss's "tax cuts will grow the economy" plan is the definition of long term thinking. You might disagree or think it's wrong but it's not short termism.
That would have brought ESG numbers down, we wouldn’t want that. This feels like an early 1970s Soviet economic mis-investment story (when they had to import grains from the US even though they had some of the best agricultural land on the planet), curious how it will all end up.
I'm just wondering why these services need centralised hosting to begin with. Peer-to-peer networking isn't new, Blockchain as a tech could take care of decentralised but shared information.

And I don't mean that a company of 10 people depends on each other, their messages are also hashed, seeded, encrypted, etc. on the entire network. Each company and each individual can have their own unique key that's used to make their own messages and content readable again.

Of course, a company should be able to choose to only share messages across their own employees and not to anyone outside, if they are wary of security issues. Messages could have set expirations, too, etc.

We shouldn't need an expensive middle-man. It should be a free open-source project.

But I'm not a networking expert. Is this simply not feasible for other reasons? I'd love to work on such a project as a software engineer, for sure.
Nationalize? What is this North Korea?
That is just wrong or a very unfunny pun. Lots of info is classified because it would be harmful in the wrong hands.
This seems to be a really basic economic point that isn’t in the mainstream dialogue anywhere. Subsidizing demand is simply bartering up the price and hoping the UK can outspend everyone else to get hold of the same finite quantity of gas.
But it was a true story? You don’t want to hear about true bad things if they are about people you like?
>I normally see comments with stuff like :4222: which I assume are emoticons only available in the new reddit

I agree with the comment as written, but I think the author means "cut the green crap" and I mean "stop subsidizing fossil fuels and roll out cheap renewables/insulation/etc."
The cold may kill as many in your own country.
If europe is destroyed this winter because of riots or total economy collapse, ukrainians won’t have anyone anymore to back them up. It may be an horrible dilemma but buying russian gaz while still maintaining embargo on anything else may still be the best sustainable solution to fight russia in the long run.
You know, I'm under the (possibly wrong) impression that it's $9 per workspace per month, and as a professor, if you include all the workspaces I was maintaining for my past classes, I have . . . or had . . . about 25 of them with hundreds of users. Maybe I wasn't using it the most efficient way, but I had no reason to think I needed to be strategic. And to think: I used to tell classes we were using Slack so their access would persist after they got kicked out of Canvas when they graduated!

It should have been possible for Slack to start the new limitations on new workspaces only. This term, because I started the change too late, I will continue to use Slack without enthusiasm while keeping a shadow archive (possibly in piazza but they have also begun to charge for larger classes). For next semester we will find and use a different service.
A list of random points on the matter:

1) the FBI are nothing like the secret police

2) I can understand an over correction this time is likely because they affected the result in 2016.

3) Facebook makes thousands of these judgements per day mostly automated otherwise their platforms would be cesspits

4) your idea that this is politically motivated is not proven, it’s a conspiracy theory and one I don’t even know how you’d prove it

5) Hunter Biden isn’t a part of the election and really stories whipped up about him probably shouldn’t be amplified while an election is on

I won’t be responding to this stuff anymore, I’ve said my bit. It’s getting far too political for round here anyway.

What I find deeply disturbing about this is how fast the 'cuz of Ukraine war' narrative has taken hold in the UK, even among intelligent colleagues of mine.

The UKs (complete lack of) leadership is going to send the country into an economic meltdown larger than any in living memory unless something seriously drastic is done by January.

I am already on rice and beans or porridge for every meal. If nothing is done I will literally be reading by candlelight under 5 layers this winter.
Sure prosecute her too. She can sit next to Trump in a jail cell.

But the more likely answer is that after relentless grilling at the behest of Republican lawmakers under Trump and actual testimony there probably wasn’t anything there worth pursuing from a legal perspective so no charges were filed.
Now's the time where there should be a war time effort to build renewable energy in this country (and in Europe) but the government sits around and does nothing. The incoming prime minister even suggests scrapping the green levy on energy bills, and is attacking solar panels suggesting that we shouldn't build them and instead use the land to farm food.

There should be a scrapping of planning permission for the building of small solar farms and small wind turbines. They should be approving new wind farms at record rates. Instead it takes them years and years to approve this shit, and the NIMBYs get away with blocking it.

2 more years of this by the way. The state of this country...

I just noted that I wrote: "He does like openings of exhibitions of his works," while I wanted to write that he does not like openings. He only goes there because others expect him to be present.
I don't disagree, but I think it is more complex than a simple tiering system. For example, where I live we have no mains gas, so heating is typically oil. Trying to be environmentally minded I've installed heat pumps to do the hot water and space heating. Add in an electric car as well.

Taking this approach would punish us for trying to move away from direct fossil fuel consumption (I'm aware that much electricity still comes form fossil fuels).

So there is a lot of nuance in the proposal - allowances for electric cars, heat pumps (which the government is actively encouraging), mains gas, etc. Do each of these affect the basic needs?

An alternative that crossed my mind was to change the unit price based on house hold income. Higher income households would pay a higher rate per kWh, which I think would be considered progressive. Can't see the Tories ever going for that though.
Everything is luck when it comes down to it.

Facebook did not remove any posts on the topic therefore Facebook did not censor the topic.

The same problems with moderation would still exist, and as the previous commenter I think correctly pointed out, the various tribes will all still want the 'other' side's 'misinformation' censored and allow their own 'truths' put out for all to see. Zero moderation is a not workable solution because things would quickly escalate on the site (see what happens to AI chat bots when exposed to an unfiltered internet). They have to do some moderation and the more the do, the madder people get, the less they do the worse the site becomes. They therefore reach this balanced state which has BOTH angry users who feel their side is being censored AND widespread posts with dis/misinformation. It's the shittiest equilibrium.
Why did he go on Rogan? What was the motivation?
There isn’t any fraud here. It’s all very normal corporate structure.

Yum! Brands owns both, and Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, etc. The restaurants themselves are owned by franchisees who license the trademarks (and all kind of complicated buy-in and standards).

Yum! Brands made ThighStop to address the wing shortage and keep the association/credibility. It’s actually weirdly transparent: just like WingStop, but thighs. I don’t know if WingStop franchisees got automatic rights to that brand or not. My guess is that it was just a way to keep them afloat.

Now, the fact that WingStop has any cred is gross. I can get better wings from a mom & pop or local chain at any strip mall, or heck, a gas station than wing chains like them, BWW, etc.

I guess America outside the South and Buffalo, NY doesn’t have access to wings that don’t taste like a salt lick. It’s a tragedy.
That can happen, but it’s debatable how common it has been historically.

But it’s worth keeping in mind that the capitalists also control the media, school curriculums, academia (including economics and history), etc. It’s not hard for them to portray all socialist countries as far worse than they are, in order to discourage workers from rising up. And of course it is in the capitalists interest to do so.
Ok but what about Poland? Germany is obligated to defend Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, etc. You honestly think Russia will not invade them? Or that Germany will not be obligated to spill blood in their defense?

There are renewables and nuclear, the artificial market in the UK fixes the wholesale price for electricity generated by them to the price for electricity generated by gas.

Are the higher educated from Brazil, Russia, China, Egypt, Japan, Poland, and Algeria also aligned in this same direction? And do you know what happens to the higher educated that don't toe the line? Here's a hint:

James Watson's DNA Nobel Prize sells for $4.8m - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30346903

And here's more than a hint: unless you're publicly committed to this same political direction, 20% of all academic jobs in the US are officially closed to you [1]. The un-official denial rate is surely even higher.

It's per user sadly. Apparently $8/mo now if paying monthly. Of course if you go to their pricing page they lie and give you the price for paying yearly.
My thread was about anti-nuclear propaganda, not anti-gas.
> Is that true?

Yes.

I just want the timer to fire and be handled in the process where it's needed, regardless if the system is suspended or not completely transparently. Waked doesn't help with that. I certainly don't want a special daemon that I have to register with over a complicated protocol (d-bus) in addition to having to manage the timers in app when it can be avoided just by passing a single flag to timerfd_create which will work universally and will not depend on systemd.

Spliting alarms into a deamon and UI shell is kinda pointless unless some other app would need access to alarms. But that would be a different service than waked in any case. Waked doesn't handle timers.
In some ways all restaurants are ultimately fronts for Sysco. It's just way more economically feasible for restaurants to do the finish work while outsourcing as much as possible to someone that can do it in a factory sort of setting.

It's not just low quality crap restaurants that do this. Like anything you get what you pay for. Better restaurants pay for better quality stuff but still mostly prepared by Sysco and finished at the restaurant.

Ah, yes, you are correct. I got temporarily transfixed on something else.

None of the Indo-European languages (to the best of my knowledge) have future participles due to none of them having a true morphological future tense. Therefore, there future participles are not possible.

Future tense, depending on the exact language, is expressed in Indo-European languages either with the use of an auxiliary or a modal verb or with the use of a perfective aspect of the present tense.

Esperanto is the only language that does have the future participles, but that is another bedtime story.
> Experts say the gas would previously have been exported to Germany.

> Germany's ambassador to the UK told BBC News that Russia was burning the gas because "they couldn't sell it elsewhere".

> Scientists are concerned about the large volumes of carbon dioxide and soot it is creating, which could exacerbate the melting of Arctic ice.

Apparently if Germany burns it to produce energy no carbon dioxide is produced.
In short: My argument is that it is possible (and should be expected) to be be ethically responsible without being fiscally irresponsible. This should be obvious.
