The UN has a special web site where they advocate for the Great Replacement. The technical term is Replacement Migration and it's not a "theory" it's actual UN policy [1]. You see whites, especially those who come from countries which benifited from the Enlightenment, are restive, not used to the yoke of slavery. So they need to be replaced. And they need to be monitored and silenced until this replacement is at such a level that they can be dealt with more directly, as the hated and feared minority they are destined to be. It's only natural that the people monitoring and censoring these troublesome racist conspiracy theorists should come from non-Enlightenment global backgrounds.

Here's a long detailed, objective explanation of everything related to this issue. It's probably more useful than the actual link and it may serve as one of the best efforts to consolidate information on this subject on the entire Internet. If it contains original research only a couple of readers will be qualified to tell. Half the people who upvote this won't understand more than the first two paragraphs.

> Reddit also seems to be going down the path of irrelevancy. The content is increasingly mediocre and hivemind-ish.

If you're just looking at the 'popular front page', sure, but there's a reason people now search Reddit from Google: there's value in a 'centralized hub' for communities versus Twitter's loosely coupled social graphs.

Reddit replaced all vBulletin-backed forums. You could argue Discord might usurp Reddit but Discord isn't searchable from the web and is logged in a terribly inconducive format.

I follow MMA, and the MMA reddit is the biggest forum for MMA on the English-speaking internet, especially for live events, there's no substitute, and I'm sure its like that with a lot of niches.

In France, a lot of heating is done during the night (Water, buildings with so cold "accumulator electrical heating").

You also need to think that France is not alone. If they can save during the night, this is extra power which can be exported to Germany where the base production relies on coal and gas. This way, Germany uses less gas during the night and can export more during the day to help France.

We are fully interconnected, we need to look beyond "just our country".

"A tenth of all departure flights in 2019 were by private jets, T&E research found"

That's quite a lot more than I expected. Still I'm a bit disappointed there isn't more interest in going for high enough taxation to have it subsidize cleaner emissions elsewhere (e.g. about half the power in France still comes from oil and gas) rather than outright bans. If someone really wants to pay that much to get somewhere let them pay to create net reductions instead of focusing on how much that trip would create.
Mars is smaller so it cooled faster after formation. Also with its thicker early atmosphere it probably was at just the right distance from the sun to be what we would consider an ideal temperature, even accounting for the dimmer sun at the time. Finally, Earth was shattered by the Moon-forming collision with Thea, which basically reset the cooldown clock for our planet. All these factors together mean that Mars had a heck of a head start.
"I'm going to beat them in a race"? The word is commonly used to mean win a competition and in fact I'd argue it's use meaning physical violence is rarer.

Yes the town square has been both monopolised and privatised.

And there's now been this complete role reversal where Democrats (the "great defenders of democracy") are arguing that private media companies can do whatever they like.

Seasickness is similar. I was sailing my boat on the North Sea yesterday and had a moderately seasick passenger; letting him helm the boat quickly made him feel totally better. I've never been seasick so I wouldn't know, but I've experimented with various passengers on various bodies of water over the years and by far the #1 way to quickly eliminate seasickness is to let the person steer. Somehow it's even better than looking out the window - I think you're correct, you anticipate the movements when you're in control.

That said, I do wonder if there's an element that comes from simply being in control; that is, if you gave passengers a non-functional ship's wheel and had it turn in sync with the captain's wheel, would that also work? My gut says it would help but not as much as actually steering yourself.
Can you tell me what you mean by “the left [...] denying the results of the 2016 election”?

Are you talking about the theory of Russian interference? If so, that is not the same as denying the results, that is questioning the integrity. The difference is huge. The later calls into question bad actors and asks for reforms going forward, the former calls into action the removal of the elected president in favor of the looser.

Now as for the conspiracy of meddling with the election. I thought that was pretty well documented fact. We have stuff like the Cambridge Analytica leaks that show actual manipulation of voters.

I ask the same question about Rhode Island. ;)
You cannot be serious. Why would Russia blow up their own pipeline instead of just saying "no"?

Did you even listen to the US in the weeks leading up to the invasion of Ukraine? They were agitating more about Nord Stream and their own Energy Dominance agenda than actually talking about Ukraine, and to top it off Biden literally said right in front of the cameras that we want to stop the EU from buying Russian gas, and in fact we have a way of doing that.
>1) you asked for a forecast of where I thought wages would go. The $130k mark is not what I predicted it would remain at.

Yes. And you forecast it will be lower in the scenario you proposed of "monopolistic employment." But it is not lower, which logically concludes there is not the condition of monopolistic employment you claim.

>2)2) already addressed this once, but that is $130k in total compensation. I don’t have enough information to fully gauge their fringe benefits, but it’s not uncommon for them to total as much as 50% of total compensation. Additionally, rail engineers are often on call 24/7. So is, say, $75k in salary luxurious given no sick days, 24/7 on call, physically demanding job, and lots of travel, for what the country is saying is a critical role? It doesn’t seem so to me. That’s in todays dollars that will be eroded in the future if the companies have their druthers. It doesn’t seem like the great deal you’re painting it as when ignoring the total picture.

Then it makes even less sense the employees should socialize the risks onto the general public, who receive (by median) less than 130k in total compensation. The tax on employee is to compensate for these socialized losses for privatized gains, imposed against use of land given freely by the public.

3> again, the land easements are to the company, not the employee. So it doesn’t follow that you want to tax the employee for a right given to the employer. It’s such odd logic that it comes across as a trolling effort

Employees OF THE COMPANY -- the employees in collusion (monopolistic collusion if you are to be believed) to stop operating the railroad on these lands. Who are disproportional beneficiaries of the land, and by your prior statement equally to shoulder of the damages. The damages imposed by the employees are damages against use of the land.

Your absurd trolling accusation, and apparent willing disregard that employees are disproportionate beneficiaries of the land, show you are no longer acting in good faith, so at this point I wish you good day and will give you the joyous benefit of whatever name calling you wish to continue in unopposed.
That's an interesting question. I might have to test to see if that's causing it.
> 2. (As mentioned in the article) issuers accept transactions from EMV (chip)-capable readers that nominally originate from EMV-capable cards without requiring the chip to be used. So what’s the point of the chip? (Note that this allows a card to be cloned without even touching the card - see #1.)

I would think the issuer could refuse the transaction higher up in the process, but it's faster and fewer packets going back and forth if the POS terminal could reject the swipe up-front and tell you to insert the chip.
the anti-nuclear policy was in Germany

France was proud of the nuclear energy. It had plenty of cheap and carbon-free electricity (it was once exported to all the neighbouring countries)
It was a way to be independent energy wise, as more countries can export nuclear fuel than oil.
It was building power plants, and processing nuclear waste from other countries

And it made plenty of engineers busy ! France used to be a country led by engineers.
After Fukushima nuclear accident, France green party shot on French nuclear plants, it was the new cool thing to push for sustainable only energy and bring down our nuclear industry. Newly elected socialist president stared at the green party so he also pushed against. 10 years later we have no plumbers, no welders, old plans, no gas. And more to come : because of Ukraine war and increasing EV, electrical power consumption is anticipated to reach peaks and cause outages. Thats what you get when politicians only consider their popularity, ignoring what experts used to warn.
This looks pretty neat so far, and I'll probably try it out. What I really liked from the demo was that the queries get rendered into the actual markdown file.

I've been using Obsidian a lot lately, and one of the downsides to something like the dataview plugin is that the results of the queries are only available within the app. I can't open up the .md file in vim/emacs/vscode and see the same results.

With emacs, I relied quite a bit on this sort of functionality too so it's been annoying me lately to not have it.

What they announced is in addition to what’s always done. The commercial sector has always been the first to be cut. Some companies actually have special contracts which mean they can be cut with barely any notice.

If they do large scale blackouts it’s that they can’t manage the load without cutting normal customers so obviously it’s going to hit everyone.
> Criminally hilarious.

ISTM it’s only criminally hilarious if you catch Amex doing something fraudulent or illegal themselves. But it sure would be entertaining to have a big civil lawsuit on the basis of incompetent security practices.
But that assumes the blackouts are the result of gas power plants not running at full capacity at peak period because of a lack of gas. I don't believe that is the case, at least not this winter.

Your journey is is literally the epitome of self-governance, and yet the party that ostensibly advocates for more self-governance seems to fear you and others on that journey as the top threat to society today.

The only way that makes sense is when viewed with a cynical eye: people are spooked by "not normal", and spooked people are more easily manipulated.

It's disgusting on so many levels.
The VP of my company is like this. When I started he was an operations director. He amazes me. He’s an older guy that physically seems half his age. The only indicator to the contrary are some fine lines and his completely gray-white hair. He’s somehow incredibly even-tempered with a dry wit. I’ve worked with him for four years, and I’ve seen him make an upset face exactly once.

What’s even crazier is that I’ve had scenarios where I needed something and my supervisors made it seem like it would take eons to get it because they don’t understand it. They’d want me to write a report or something to that effect. Same five minute conversation revisited with him in the room? He listens, asks a few questions (mostly about how it’ll impact our budget), and then says something like, “Okay, sounds like we need this,” and boom! Done.

He’s not a programmer. He has no technical experience or background. He just seems to have a fine-tuned compass for what is and isn’t a big deal. I’ve never had the feeling that he didn’t trust me about something that I 100% feel is what needs to be done. Yet he’s still taught me things I didn’t know. It’s weird.
>>3. The information leaked in #1 is enough to buy things online (as long as the CVV2 can be found or guessed). Wtf?

At least in EU you can't do that anymore - all online transactions are required to implement 3D secure so you have to confirm the transaction some other way in addition to your card details.

at the same time, gas supplies are at an all time high.

The main issue seems to be absolutely atrocious timing of nuclear reactor maintenance. (which is just bad luck).

> I assume that once larger parts of the population start feeling the effects of these energy shortages, some dynamics might change.

I sure as hell hope that the dynamic will increase in providing ukraine with the weapons required to end of the war far more quickly. From a geopolitical standpoint, making sure russia does not win this war or end it in a stalemate is absolutely vital for European stability.

Also, it could lead to further defence integration in europe. (this has already been fast tracked once the war started).
This (original) game came out in 1998.

You could write an emulator for x86 in Python that'd be fast enough to run the original operating system and game on modern equipment.

Whether that would be the best choice for implementing a game like this today - probably not.
> In Germany it is straight up illegal to display nazi symbols, do their salute, or even advocate their beliefs, isn't it?

How is that different from communism being illegal in the US?

At least Germans banned Nazism which was born in Germany and wrote one of the worst pages of modern history, same reason why in Italy the fascist party is illegal and cannot be recreated.

Both have creates societies were violence is an order of magnitude less prominent than in the US and society tries to help those in need, more than those with deep pockets.

Maybe educating people to avoid totally nihilistic and destructive ideas works...

What's the excuse USA found to ban communism, which never actually rose to power there?

Imagine a country where you can be a Nazi, praise Hitler, say that there's good in him and that you love the Jews but also Nazis, but can't stand for workers rights and support the class struggle.

How dare they to even think about it?

Also: remember when to export encryption freely the World had only one option: avoid USA? GPG was possible only because a German free software developer (Werner Koch) created and maintained it, if it was for US laws, nobody else could use it. If that's their idea of freedom, I'd rather stay on the Germans side.
I suspect this has already been exploited in South America with at least one North American banks' Amex cards. Can't get into too much detail, but the pieces fit.
> When I got vaccinated for various diseases, it gave long term immunity, not 4 doses over months to lessen the symptoms.

Please double check yours. There's a few common vaccines that people assume are "life long" but actually have a recommendation for boosters when you're an adult.

But yeah, in general the length of immunity differs, some vaccines work forever, some not. It's a limitation of what we can produce.

> So what was then the point of getting everyone vaccinated?

Multiple reasons. Prevent many deaths, lower symptoms, make recover easier, lower emergency departments load, lower transmission, etc. None of those were going to be perfect or work independently of people's behaviours.

That’s a generic type, and that’s why they’re not enough. Here's a simple Python example:

class Cents(int): pass

def send_money(amount: Cents):

print(f"Sending ${amount / 100}")

send_money(42)

That’ll immediately fail validation without you needing to make sure you have tests which would catch every possible problem like that.

I think there is a strong genetic component for owning a pickup truck. Just like for dog ownership:

Obviously, there is also a strong environmental factor. But lacking either, will probably result in no pickup truck.
They are. The MG SUVs are sold here in Spain and they are selling like hotcakes. They look nice, they have every modern feature you need as standard equipment (apple carplay, dual-zone A/C), 5 star crash test, all for a laughably low price (13k EUR, cca. the same in USD). Every car that has the same equipment (and looks) cost at least double, or triple. I think they are using Spain as a test market and will expand soon.

I love it when we go back to assumptions. This is exactly what I'm assuming. However, the problem is not solved. what exactly is "new" information? here is more assumptions for you right there.

> Most humans works are derivatives of some other work

Good point. "Most", however, does not equal "All". collectively, we are not just copying. there is a newness. (again, what is new?)
The term "dynamic compilation" was popular in the Smalltalk community due to the 1984 paper by Deutsch and Shiffman that described what became the ParcPlace Smalltalk.

In Self 1 and 2 we also used dynamic compilation and we got adaptive compilation in Self 3. This moved from Sun to Animorphic for the Strongtalk project and got bought by Sun to become the Java HotSpot technology.

JIT was very popular among Japanese car manufacturers and the term was borrowed for Java. Note that Java only had simple interpreters in its first few years so we are talking the late 1990s here.

> You cannot be serious. Why would Russia blow up their own pipeline instead of just saying "no"?

because it denies the non hardline faction inside the russian political sphere the option of negotiating with the west. This further solidifies putin's position.

Blowing up the pipeline made sure the war in ukraine had to continue, because stoppping the war will not result in the resumption of gas trade with the west.
