"The network issues are specific to Firefox"

And honestly, I would not care too much and just make it clear, that it does not yet run stable in firefox and recommend chromium. (With a link to the technical limitations of what you just wrote, so you do not get yelled at so much by the firefox only crowd, who otherwise assume you did it out of evil neglect)

I regretted the huge amount of work I did to cater to firefox limitations. Its market share is just too low and chromium works also on linux.

(I use FF for browsing myself though)
If you keep reading …

Smaker, who had already been cleared for contact, was in touch with three of the men throughout the months after Sundance. None of them ever brought up issues raised in the CAGE letter, and one even called recently to say — in a voicemail — that he missed her and wanted to know when she was coming back to Saudi Arabia for a visit.

Even on the face of it, a white woman in Saudi Arabia, probably isn’t running around a rehab centre without authorities knowing what she was up to.

You're right that offshore Wind has a higher wind capacity, but the socialists wanted to build 4000 new on-land wind farms across the country. Also, the IEA even show in their report that Wind is the most resource-consuming power source of all alternatives available, because the blades cannot be recycled and have short life-span + the foundations require enormous amount of steel and miles of copper, plus power stations to function. While nuclear is among the least requiring, because facilities can be refurbished for new nuclear effectively.

What we need is a mix, but thinking that Wind can solely solve things are a bad idea, especially considering the very limited amount of minerals required and what is available.

The Chinese government was working with the US government to crack down on drug smuggling.

However, the US government keeps hitting them with more and more sanctions, and is calling the entire One China Policy into question, so China stopped cooperating on a range of issues, including drug smuggling. The US government says it wants to separate these issues out, but the Chinese government doesn't want to go out of its way to help a foreign government that's actively trying to destroy the Chinese high-tech industry with sanctions.

No, it’s worse. All of these steps are asynchronous besides #1, which they don’t need to do upfront… We are apparently in the age of “I can draw a square on google maps, so that makes me privy to [chunk of mass privacy information]”.

Worse is they don’t even need the mapping platform to cooperate. Most of this information probably still flows through second-party data brokers or else we would have heard whispers that those organizations are “too big to fail” or something.
While I appreciate the sentiment, the article performs a sleight of hand by connecting the unassailable "harm is bad by definition" to "those are harmful things". Relativists argue that what is harmful is not a mathematical truth, but rather a result of a given system of values.

There's a redemption grace period where the owner (and only the owner) can renew the domain. After that, anyone can pick it up, but accidentally letting a domain expire is "only" some downtime, and if you didn't notice during the month of grace period then it's probably okay to expire.

Violence takes many forms, from gentle to deadly.

What the key difference here is, between a democracy and a totalitarian government, is just who decides when violence will be employed.

In democratic states, violence is allowed by specific actors, such as the police, in specific situations, such as when other forms of mediation fail, under specific guidelines.

This means that democracy attempts to replace the mob (anarchy), and the totalitarian (no law, power vested in one), with a more structured form of violence.

Note that absolutely no system will work perfectly, at all. There will be flaws, issues, but from where I sit, most western democracies do a fairly good job of this.

That's because the truth is, violence absolutely will occur, no matter what, no matter the form of government (or lack of) in place. Humanity always has individuals which will prey upon itself, and the only response in such cases is violence of some sort.

So how do you want your violence?

The anarchistic mob? Emotionally run, able to fly out of control, meting out punishment on emotion and adrenaline?

The totalitarian, deciding rule of law on whim, then meting out punishment in any way chosen?

Or the democratic approach, with laws debated, considered, and meted out by democratic choice, in a controlled way?

Again, democracy is not perfect, but it is the best we currently have.

And yes, it is violent at times, for humanity is violent at times.

We always have been, and will be, else we will no longer be human.

You may be thinking, "No! Democracy let thing $x happen to person/group $y. It has failed us!"

The thing is, most democracies attempt to constantly improve upon this.

Take the US, for example. Compare racism in the 50s, to now.

If you think racism, and police brutality connected to it is bad now, your head would spin, and probably explode, if transported to the 50s.

What you really need to consider, is what happens under alternative forms of governement.

Do you believe a totalitarian would do better at the above? Anarchy?

Hardly.

So how do you want your violence?

Pick carefully.

If you pick democracy, as I have, then the next step is to work on improving how that violence is meted out.

Help steer it, to make it as fair, as gentle as possible.
Fallacy in the sense that it is supposed to demonstrate a problem with the Commons while ignoring the context in which it is used. Maybe because privatization is taken as a given, a thing to not even be questioned, thus the Commons has to fit in to the world of private property as we know it today or else be deemed flawed. (Private property as we know it cannot be flawed: it is axiomatic.)

From Wikipedia:

> Faced with evidence of historical and existing commons, Hardin later retracted his original thesis, stating that the title should have been "The Tragedy of the Unmanaged Commons".

It is telling that it retains its original name. We teach it speficially as “the problem” with “the commons”.

Why does everyone—including in this thread—think of “the tragedy of the commons” in terms of “the commons” instead of “private property” as we know it? Why is that the knee-jerk response?

Also from Wikipedia:

> Although taken as a hypothetical example by Lloyd, the historical demise of the commons of Britain and Europe resulted not from misuse of long-held rights of usage by the commoners, but from the commons' owners enclosing and appropriating the land, abrogating the commoners' rights.[1]

This theory might be right or wrong. But why is it never even mentioned that enclosure of the Commons happened at some point, and that apparently use of the Commons by commoners might have worked (just might)? Because private property as we know it today is axiomatic. Hence the question is merely about regulating or not regulating the access to the Commons from such private interests; the last part about private interests cannot be questioned.

A third problem/point is that it is just a hypothetical. People just take a thought experiment at face value as something-that-always-happens! But such dynamics do not always come about:

> Elinor Ostrom was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for demonstrating this concept in her book Governing the Commons, which included examples of how local communities were able to do this without top-down regulations or privatization.[2]

-

> Romeo and Juliet

Deaths are tragedies in the sense of bad things that happened. How would you prevent a future double-suicide? Not by naming it after some irrelevancy, like the Tragedy of the Efficacy of Oral Poisoning. You learn from the story and don’t poison yourself just because you think someone that you love has died. (I think that’s what it is about?)

The supposed “tragedy” of the Commons is a recurring thing. Not merely a thing that happened but something that can happen again. So how do you prevent that? By focusing on whatever caused the tragedy and fixing that. Not by focusing on the victim.

I'm writing this as an Iranian immigrant, and feel compelled to say so because it is apparently and depressingly necessary in order to lend legitimacy to my statements (though I don't think it does).

The idea that a white American can't understand non-white non-American views, makes the same amount of sense the other way around. Both ways around need a great deal of research by the ones trying to understand, and I believe she's tried her best.

I'll go even further and say that she understands some things better than those in the culture she's covering, since she's an outside observer, giving her some objectivity that those inside can't have. I know I have this with the particular "white" culture I'm integrating into right now.

I will say that there are some things she'll find difficult to impossible to grasp -- and might not even realise she's missing -- but to say she's not even allowed to try belittles us as human beings. This exclusionary race mentality can go away.

> I know someone in Germany and their covid tracking app tells you when and where you were close to someone who was last tested positive. So everyone does it the same way, recording location.

Not sure about Germany, but in France the app doesn't track location. It tracks nearby devices (with Bluetooth, rotating identifiers frequently), and when one marks oneself as positive, it informs the central server of the identifiers used in the last X days, which then other apps checks against their list of known identifiers that were close.

So there is no recording of location.

The total amount of cars needed each year is a combination of people getting one for the first time and others who are replacing one. That car that is replaced, assuming it's not being resold, is material that could reenter the system.

Also moving pulling back this debate to more general topics:

1.We don't need to replace all cars, many older gas powered cars will still be on the road for a long time which buys time for points 2-4

2. There are other types of batteries, like NiMH, which don't contain lithium. Although these aren't as efficient many hybrids use them, I think the new Mavrick hybrid does (or some truck hybrid)

3. There could be new battery technology that will be invented

4.New technology has helped Tesla make more energy dense batteries and have them last longer

A 2016 model s with the 70kwh battery pack has a 200 miles of range

A 2022 Model s performance with a 98kwh battery pack has a range of 326 miles
(this is a touch comparison because the new performance has much more power)

I was recalling my time writing Windows applications using C and Win16/Win32. That combination made it easy to write a badly behaved application; a stray C pointer here, an uninitialized handle there and before you know it, you've created a badly behaved Windows application. That then could easily result in a Windows to crash or lockup which then would require a reboot.
Developing on a modern OS is so much easier only because the OS can protect itself from these badly written applications.

And of course there is no “public discussion”, same way you don’t have public discussion in Japan about its nazi past. Like I said, a cultural thing.

As for that prime minister - you could ask that same question regarding Gwangju.

This feels like your splitting hairs because the root cause is ultimately the same: if it wasn’t necessary then it wouldn’t be profitable.
"Despite the efforts of the nationalist textbook reformers, by the late 1990s the most common Japanese schoolbooks contained references to, for instance, the Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, and the comfort women of World War II,[2] all historical issues which have faced challenges from ultranationalists in the past.[3] The most recent of the controversial textbooks, the New History Textbook, published in 2000, which significantly downplays Japanese aggression, was shunned by nearly all of Japan's school districts.[2]"

Seems like that's been cleaned up and they were omitting information, which is bad, but when I think of misinformation I think of lies.

EDIT: Just to be clear, your statement was "where school history textbooks, an authorative data source of sorts, have had a rather optimistic view " which implies it is widespread and happening now. My counter shows that not to be true.

This is because Germany does a lot of direct gas/oil heating. If you scroll further down on your own source you will see that gas consumption is actually bigger than renewables.

Northern Europe for the most part switched over to district and electric heating (direct or air/ground pumps) a long time ago.

> Since Electronic Arts righteously dumped FIFA like a ton of rotten bricks

It wasn't righteous, it was over money (FIFA asking for too much).

> why don't they organise a football world cup instead

Because FIFA is the organising body of football, all regional (UEFA, CONCACAF, etc.) and country Football Associations are under FIFA's jurisdiction (and are members of FIFA). Countries couldn't participate in a rival event even if they wanted to, because many of the smaller association basically only exist on FIFA subsidies, and of course there are exclusivity deals. And i doubt many countries and players would prefer the glory of the "EA Cup". The World Cup has never been about money, and the prize pool is already significant.

> That was an exceptionally low price, as per the article the other end was $.40 per MWh (actually Euro, but they're trading at better than 1:1 right now). Furthermore, this was excluding storage which more than triples the total price.

Yes. Bringing the total price to almost that of nuclear.

But unlike nuclear -- the price of which increased continuously from the 60s through early 90s while production was the highest it has ever been -- they are both dropping precipitously. So much so that the whole system cost could plausibly be lower than just the steam turbine and heat exchanger component before a new reactor would open (which is already mass produced more than any other production technology).

By all means build nuclear, but do it on a level playing field. Either give 60 year guaranteed prices at 2-4x current market rate, zero risk loans, and free insurance to all zero carbon sources with >90% availability or none.
