Ironic it's a straw-man itself to suggest the comment was advocating suppression. It wasn't. The point is moderation, and yes that means moderation that can be moderated as necessary. i.e A non-partisan framework that is acceptable regardless of if it is an adversary or it is an ally enforcing it.

Easier said then done, but perhaps this just means a type of Overton window. It's not legally enforced, people just come to learn that being reactionary is faux pas.

Clearly it's not plausible to provide an absolutist definition because things change, setting rules could undermine their original objectives. But for the points raised in my original comment; laissez-faire free speech is also widely open to abuse.
So why is electricity cheap in France and expensive in Denmark? Denmark has the most expensive electricity in Europe and they are mostly wind and they often have to import from Sweden and Norway (which is also why electricity is expensive in southern Sweden). If we look at countries nuclear does not seem very expensive. Not the cheapest (that is probably Russian gas followed by hydro) but certainly less expensive than wind power.

> Imagine there're 20 trucks charging at 80kW on a single autobahn rest area.

Why would they need to stop to charge? Charge them on the go. See the Tom Scott video "The highway where trucks work like electric trains":

And if they do want/have to stop, imagine charging at a rate of up to 3750 kW:

> The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is a charging connector under development for large battery electric vehicles. The connector will be rated for charging at a maximum rate of 3.75 megawatts (3,000 amps at 1,250 volts direct current (DC)).

You are probably being rightfully downvoted (I’m only halfway through my morning coffee) but I found your comment hilarious and also relevant in a meta sort of way, and in my opinion worth keeping around as a contrarian point of view
ChatGPT has no implications for high-school English classes, if they are taught properly - ie, with the goal of teaching English literature and composition. If they're taught with the goal of assigning grades to students, then sure, ChatGPT could be a problem.
There are also shockingly few areas where zero tolerance works. That is, don't silently tolerate bad behavior, but realize that many punishment oriented corrections are themselves bad behavior.
Well its nearly 2023, and we have had 10%-ish inflation going on about 2 years.

In specific areas such as cars, you had complete dislocations.
For example used cars which normally depreciate 15-20%/year, instead inflated about 15%/year for 2 years.

Over the summer I traded in a 4 year old car at the end of its warranty of 85% of what I paid for it new. I probably could have sold private party and haggled harder to get closer to 90%+ Normally 85% is what you can expect to sell your car for right after you drive it off the lot on your second day of ownership.

This was a knock on effect of new car production shortages, and pent up demand from low 2020 sales and people having a lot of cash on hand.

Related to this you had dealers adding market (ADM) on not even luxury/exotic vehicles of $10-15k in some areas. So never mind not being able to negotiate a few $1000 off, people were paying sticker+$15k for new vehicles for the privilege of being able to buy one. And this was on top of the sticker prices ticking up over the course of the pandemic and related inflation.

So no, for many things, it was not "just a year of 11% inflation".
I’ve been using it for years as well and had the exact same thought!
I think you just need a person with actual executive function to order the people to arrive to a given location at a given time once he hashes out the details. That is, I think your first ideal point is wrong. If these are 4 busy people their executive function might literally be gone after work week. They can only think in potato.
I think these are reasonable concerns and I'm mostly of the same mind. If I'm doing startup stuff it's either as a consultant or founder.
“There’s no such thing as 10x Taalent”
I am into collecting slightly obsolete audio gear, I've spent maybe $600 on the hobby in the last six months.

I know some people would think $120 is a lot for a minidisc player since you can get a flash player for so much less. Other people would think it's a trivial amount of money. Like all these things it comes in multiple scales: back in the day there were people who would spend 50x that on audio gear (there are some $20,000 speaker sets that sound great)

I don't expect to impress anybody: the last person I showed my portable minidisc player was a professor in the music department who's won one more than one Grammy award and teaches sound engineering who I ran into at the bus stop and his comment is "God, how can you listen to something compressed like that?" ("... yeah, I've been wondering about some of the coding tools they use.")

We are probably going to have some people over for a party and I don't expect many people to notice the difference with the 5.1 DTS discs I have in my CD changer but I do.
I'm not the person you responded to, and I would never have replied with sarcasm as they did, but "Stoked to see another soul has seen through the smokescreen" comes across as more tribal than solidarity, IMO, if those are the only two options.

The low-hanging fruit of straight and level flight is, I'd argue, appropriate for automation, but they need to get out of the way when the plane goes outside the normal operating envelope.

Whether these tools are just analog trim tabs that allow the stick to be adjusted so that a stable aircraft basically holds itself in straight-and-level flight, or complex fly-by-wire autopilot algorithms that keep an unstable aircraft in straight-and-level flight, taking the mundane, repetitive, mind-numbing workload of closing the loop between the six-pack of instruments and the sticks for hours on end. A pilot who has been watching the VSI and heading for three hours on a cross-country flight, tediously keeping the plane within 300 feet of its assigned flight level and ensuring that the passengers don't even perceive tiny changes in heading and attitude, or a trucker who has been driving their tractor-trailer cross-country for 60 hours in 7 days, holding an 8.5-foot-wide vehicle between a pair of 12-foot-wide lane lines, and adjusting the throttle up and down hills to keep their speed within a couple MPH of the speed limit, is going to be fatigued and when it comes time to deal with an emergency on landing or a sudden, unexpected brake check from a small car pulling in front of the truck, that fatigue has a cost.

There's a point where cruise control and autopilots can make these tasks safer, allowing pilots to keep ahead of the needs of aircraft, and allowing drivers to keep their eyes scanning the other vehicles, their mirrors, and the road ahead, rather than going back-and-forth between the speedometer and the lane lines. I absolutely acknowledge that there's also a point where this automation gets in the way or causes operators to tune out and be unprepared when asked to take over when the envelope is exceeded. Right-sizing that level of automation is critical!

It could be done if the thief, after having been found guilty, is then forced to pay a fine equal to the cost of the investigation and court costs.

Yes, this could end up being a fine of $10,000 for stealing a $150 phone, but there is an argument to be made that it is justified (and just).

What are the arguments against?
You're absolutely missing the point.

This is _my_ fantasy world, not bound by the history of Star Trek; the show itself in later series got ruined by awful writers who couldn't figure out how to make a sci-fi utopia fun to watch and instead made a faux-military/action drama for no reason. I want no part in that future.

Second, I think you actually miss the point of these episodes; the challenge in the Cardassian border wars and issues was "how does a space utopia exist with a (comically) fascist regime?" Debatably, the actions of the Maquis and other border colonies were persons stuck in a land ownership mindset which is exactly what I think we need to avoid. Data even proved this in the episode with the Sheliak to convince the people of Tau Cygni V that a place is just a place.

I have no idea what you're referring to about a trailer in a desert, but in actual Star Trek, everyone had a home, had food, had a place to live.

Regarding luxury apartments and vineyards, I must ask: why would you care? If you have a spacious and great apartment that meets your absolute every need for you and your family, why would you care if someone has more square meters or a higher floor on a high-rise? In a world where transporters and shuttlecraft and replicators exist, why would you care where your home is located except that it meets your personal vision of a perfect home? You can live in the middle of the alps and have every modern convenience at your fingertips and just enjoy the snow.

As for the vineyard, again, I think you're looking at this from a very current perspective; in a world with replicators and synthehol where only a few specific snobs care about real alcohol versus replicated alcohol, owning a vineyard and manually tending to it likely is just something where everyone goes "right, have fun with that." (Also, Picard didn't own the vineyard, his brother did. I guess in the Picard series he controlled it also? But never watched it)

I really cannot take the comment seriously as I think you both miss the point of the episodes regarding property/land and also are not considering how people might view apartment sizes and such in a world when transportation, knowledge, information, energy costs, food, basically everything is already taken care of. Remember, even humble Scotty thought he was being given an admiral's treatment in TNG when he got a _basic_ quarters for his stay.

Try to imagine that's what your normal life looks like, and then ask yourself how much you would care if someone has a few extra square meters.
I think a target more like 2050 would actually be feasible but the likely motivating factors at play here are a combination of climate doomerism and degrowth ideology. The mistake is thinking that they don’t want people to suffer.
I don't think that's really true. Recent trends show the % of desktop/laptop users has normalized and is no longer trending down.

> An example from Ogilvy Vice Chairman Rory Sutherland: If you’re a top executive, turning up to work on a bicycle is a high-status activity because it was a choice and not a necessity. But if you work at Pizza Hut, turning up on a bike means you can’t afford a car.

It must be so tedious to live having internalized this perspective on people. The vast vast majority of people are not "signaling" when they do things, they are just doing things. This constant meta game mostly exists in the minds of this iamverysmart crowd. Most people who ride bikes to work just like to ride bikes and find it to be a convenient way to get to work, they aren't giving a single thought to how it plays in some status game that nobody else they interact with is thinking about either.

I find this whole genre incredibly unrelatable.

I think more like they don't really make sense. Not that technology isn't ready.

Which is entirely different from fusion. On other hand flying cars are combination of both, they don't make sense and technology isn't ready.
SBF says that he donated to Democrats publicly and to Republicans through some kind of back channels. He says he did it this way because he didn’t want the media scrutiny that might result from donating to Republicans.

Many commenters believe that SBF is lying about donating to Republicans. They say he is telling this lie because he has corrupted Democrats and wants to hide it, presumably to help him avoid punishment.

There is a straightforward way to resolve this: look at how Republicans behave. If SBF is lying, then Republicans are incentivized to make a lot of noise about his relationship with Democrats. If he is telling the truth, then you would expect Republicans not to sound the alarm on his Democratic donations, in case evidence comes out that he also gave to Republicans.
Especially in Germany, albeit with an outsider's perspective, I would say it's very clear how relevant it is how you speak of persons. There is no commonly accepted 'singular they' and e.g. 'teacher' is always male (you'd have to say 'teacheress' or 'teacherin', not sure how to translate it, and so what people do is say both every time they refer to any teacher/in).

When always having to gender every word, not being inclusive has a measurable effect. There are enough studies that show the effects of listing genders alongside job listings that are typical/historical male or female jobs, also in other languages with less gendering. English is a lot better as a language, in my opinion, but still if you say "he" when referring to the aforementioned "doctor" when, really, it could be a doctor of either gender using the patient portal, you are still reinforcing a bias.

I don't think it's unnecessary to include the other half of the population in general writing, even if nobody has studied the effect of a "man in the middle" specifically. There's enough evidence elsewhere so that we might as well just switch things over at hardly any cost of change and no cost at all afterwards.
This is untrue. 20GW of nuclear shut down over the past 20 years. That is almost as much as the coal that is being burned at the moment. Coal and gas are currently providing 66% of demand (40GW). Wind+solar only 7%. If that 20GW of nuclear were still available it would replace half of the coal and gas currently burning at this very moment. You can follow along at electricity maps anytime you’re curious to see just how dirty and broken the German grid is in reality.
I used to run a windows box occasionally for gaming, but have completely replaced it with PopOS. Proton is truly amazing tech IMO. My whole steam library runs as well as it did on windows.

Posting this here for others that might not have known. I could have switched away from windows for gaming long ago but Steam oddly doesn't promote / enable Proton by default.

No (at least in Germany, can't speak for whole Europe) the price is settled by the most expensive electricity producer currently serving. Gas power plants are used regularly to stabilize the network, but they didn't drive the electrity price that high because Germany has way more gas power plants than usually necessary. Only the modern ones were used.

This year though, since France struggles so hard with their nuclear power plants, gas power plants are running 24/7, even older, less efficient ones.

This led to the price of electricity determined by gas power plant operation costs all day.

Pricey partial stopgap is still better than the alternative. In software engineering and digital product development, there's this idea of "give them what they want, not what they are asking for". A professional, knowing that what they are asking for is totally impossible by the necessary deadline, comes up with a pricey partial stopgap and everyone is still grateful for their expertise.

Nobody spends 50% of their time writing reports. If anything, it's the exact opposite: people do their entire doc the last Friday of the test. It's enough of a problem that carefully scoped tests sometimes include doc days in the SOW. I used to get in arguments with the person we hired to run one of our offices for demanding that people stay late on Fridays to finish docs that customers weren't even going to look at until the following week.

This "multiple rounds of review" thing is news to me too.

To answer the original comment: the ordinary process for a project like this with a public report is, you deliver the whole project as if there wasn't a public report, with an internal report, and then the public report is based on the internal one (probably post-remediation). So actually delivering the project is usually no different than any other project.
