> As an example, I'm not an anti-monarch but I was extremely angry about how the police handled anti-monarch protestors during the coronation.

This is exactly my position too.

And if you force me to chose between a) democracy, free speech and right to protest OR b) a monarchy, then I will very quickly become an anti-monarchist.

The fact that the government felt that they had to rush in legislation in the last week which was - completely predictably - used to detain people unlawfully, to save possible embarrassment during the coronation, has done nothing to improve my view of our monarchy whatsoever.

I struggle to believe that this would have happened without some sort of implicit or explicit pressure from Buckingham Palace. They did afterall have veto rights on aspects of BBC coverage [0] so it seems highly unlikely to me that they weren't also working with the government to attempt to "contain" possible protests.

You are probably right. Author could of course have neglected to mention their ThunderScan or whatever but looking closely at the image it does not show dithering but rather a concerted attempt at using regular but changing patterns to achieve, for example, the gradient in the background.
True. And it does happen. But I don't think it happens at the scale the post I replied to seems to suggest. I hear about it sometimes, but not so often that it would be an endemic thing that has to be assumed to be the default in 2023.

The perception of military weakness can harm the environment. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused much environmental damage, in addition to human casualties. Putin may not have invaded if Europe had done more to develop its own nuclear and hydrocarbon energy sources and were less reliant on Russian natural gas and oil.
The vaccines are certainly more harmful for certain groups, like young men and more likely to cause certain conditions (like retinal occlusion).
Although it's technically a more complex case, I think many developers would intuitively understand something like this:

const base: BaseClass = new SubClass();
const keys = Object.keys(base); // should give you the subclass keys as well

(This is pseudo-code that might not quite work due to how prototypes and classes interact, but I'm trying to illustrate a principle.)

What's perhaps a bit surprising is that all types in TypeScript behave like BaseClass in this example. Object types (e.g. {a: number, b: string}) specify the minimally required properties, not the maximally allowed properties -- they are effectively the same thing as interfaces. Any concrete object that implements the interface can have more properties than the interface requires.

That's so fundamental to the type system that I think if you want to work around it, you might not fully understand how TypeScript works yet.
I suppose the part that sours it for me is watching the extreme displays of wealth and decadence at a time when a large number of people in the UK are struggling financially. Quite a lot of countries in Europe still have monarchies, but the degree to which they are visibly celebrated in the UK seems to be much greater. This is where the argument for culture and tourism comes in, but I still think its wrong.
Big name actors end up doing movies that flop all the time and it doesn't affect their career, they just pocket the cash and move on.

But yeah you're right, it really comes down to consumers and they way that we consume. If people are willing to pay $15 for a movie ticket then companies will charge $20 and people are oblivious to the fact that it could cost $1.

I wish this was true for me. My experience was after Microsoft extorted my phone number out of me (for 'verification' of my 10 year old account that I converted) that it now demands a text message 2FA authentication any time I haven't played for awhile. Which since my kids are usually the ones playing means they're usually blocked from starting up again unless I'm home. Which means they kind of just don't play it anymore.

I never wanted a Microsoft account in the first place and I want one even less now.
I’ve noticed in things translated from Japanese (video games, anime) there’s two features that seem constant and don’t seem to come from other languages. They seem to constantly say “in other words” and restate and clarify topics, and they put “quotation marks” around things that don’t seem to need quotation marks. I’ve always assumed these oddities would make more sense if I learned to speak or write Japanese.
Feature mismatch of anything outside Git. And no one wrote the tooling needed to synchronize issues, pull/merge requests, ... back and forth.

> Seeing 5 or 6 plastic bags at once blowing in the wind, down > 99%.

I've never seen that. There's no trash on the ground where I live. I hope you picked it up.

> What proportion of those plastic bags we banned were "recycled and sugar cane bags"?

I have no numbers but probably 80+ percent considering all food chains and the biggest retail stores had made the change many years ago. That's where most of the bags were coming from. The ones you used multiple times when purchasing food, before using it as a garbage bag.

> Did it "skyrocket" to more than the number of bags we were producing before?

Yes. In the past you bought a recycled plastic bag, used it a couple of times and then disposed it with the garbage such as tampons. Now you buy rolls of imported plastic bags and use them for garbage but since there's no incitament to buy fewer, you stock up when its cheap. With the added benefit that you also have to buy cotton bags that are absolutely terrible for the environment.

As a result, the change is being rolled back this year by the government. Everyone have deemed it to be a major failure.

Curious how they are going to handle someone whose lineage includes someone who was brought to the US as a slave on one side and on the other an Ashanti of the upper class who got rich of selling slaves to the Portuguese. Do they only get half the money? Does their ancestors offense offset the payment entirely? Do they have to pay more because they were descended from people who did the original enslavement?
They had them! But Benedictines were required to do some things the hard way. Dominicans and Franciscans just set an alarm and went to sleep.

After all, the apps running in the background would still try to download updates every five minutes and disabling/blocking those update requests on the server might cut those installations off from ever auto-updating again.
If the majority of the public want to drive through towns not built for ever widening roads to accomoadte what the public wants, we should knock down the historic town centres for wide streets for larger traffic jams, remove pedestrian crossings so we don;t slow the crawling traffic, remove bus lanes so we can fill them up with crawling cars close down the railways and force everyone to buy a car
I find it interesting that they highlight phonetics because this is a problem quite unique to the madness that is English. In many other languages, phonics rules are quite coherent, thus, once you know the rules, you can read the language, even without understanding what it means. At least I can tell this about the ones I know myself: Italian, Spanish, Polish, Swedish. English, alas, is very inconsistent with its rules.

Yes, objecting to protests like this is fascist.

Read up on how fascist regimes centralize power, arresting people who object was and is a major aspect of it. By outlawing decent you eventually normalize support for your regime such that even people who despise what’s going on are eventually unwilling to say so.

They may have gotten external damnation for it, but China’s cracking down on protests worked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests... What seems counterintuitive is the CCP still makes it very clear you’re not allowed to talk about it because they want people to live in fear. Thus, they very much want people to know and not talk about it.

No. It's someone ChatGPT inspired clickbait tool to make quick money.

Try to read the actual text of Bhagavad Gita and draw your own conclusions.

-----

This is what some pretty wise and accomplished people had to say about the Bhagavad Gita -
They wouldn't if Bhagavad Gita was entirely as the article alleged.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence_of_Bhagavad_Gita#:~:....

Aldous Huxley, the English writer found Gita "the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind.", He also felt, Gita is "one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity."

J. Robert Oppenheimer, American physicist and director of the Manhattan Project, learned Sanskrit in 1933 and read the Bhagavad Gita in the original form, citing it later as one of the most influential books to shape his philosophy of life.

Henry David Thoreau wrote "In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial."[18]

Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse felt that "the marvel of the Bhagavad-Gita is its truly beautiful revelation of life's wisdom which enables philosophy to blossom into religion."

Gandhi
The Bhagavad Gita's emphasis on selfless service was a prime source of inspiration for Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Gandhi told-"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day".

Consider this an invitation to read the source - The Bhagavad Gita.

You might find it life changing, or it might at least inspire you to think beyond the simplistic Western concepts of Good and Evil.

Edit - Just want to clarify when I say "opened hackernews with a tuna sandwich" I want to clear up that I did indeed full on mash the keyboard letters with my sandwich. It's costing me a fortune in keyboards every day and it's ruining my sandwich most days as well, I think I have an issue.

Monarchy is a system, and like all systems it has all sorts of parts, including the lonesome fellow wearing the crown. "Our king has no power" yet there is all that machinery of state and you think it is just for 'sentiment and aesthetic' reasons?

That song and dance to beguile the masses is how the ruling keep ruling. Does this really need to be spelled out?

Charles was executed because he, as king, was in conflict with his own set: the ruling class. It was a civil war. But if he was in accord with his class you can bet your pretty neck that it would be in jeopardy if you went againt that ruling class.

> Charles thought as King he could do whatever he wanted

That is right. A monarch is there so that an entire class can do whatever it wants. But s/he will not fare well if they act against the class that upholds their reign. It is the same exact precise equation the world over modulo some rare historic exceptions.
Why doesn't the plume sometimes ignite? I know methane is lighter than air so it would rise straight up, subject to winds. Seems like an electrostatic spark from say dust in the air would happen once in a while and ignite the plume. Or some kid launching a bottle rocket on a day with sideways winds. Maybe the gas concentration quickly becomes too low to ignite?

That simply mirrors corporate culture. For all the chest-beating to the contrary, the overwhelming majority of companies are not "families" or "bands of friends" - they're groups of people there to make money. When the company has no loyalty or compassion towards employees, employees will do the same to the company.

The rationale goes like this: If you don't like the monarch, who has this job purely as an accident of birth, well, too bad, they're a person, that's all you were guaranteed. They might have a grating voice, or love hot pink way too much, or insist on calling people "Mate" for no god damn reason, but nobody picked them.

And if you do like them, the same, maybe they've got a brilliant smile, they like the long floral outfits you prefer, they think kittens are better than puppies like you do, but nobody picked them.

They don't have any democratic legitimacy, which is crucial because this means it's clear that democratically the elected legislature is in charge. The monarch can't be making rules, they're not a government they're just a living symbol.

Whereas if you vote for somebody to be President or whatever, that person now has democratic legitimacy. Their preference for kittens is granted the legitimacy of the masses, even though probably most people didn't vote for them because they believe kittens are better, too bad, that's all endorsed. If the Elected President disagrees with the Elected Legislature, somehow their meddling is legitimate, even they can argue, rightfully endorsed by The People.

Unless you're confident that everything you believe can be summarised as a single living individual, and that the majority of other people agree with you, an Elected President is clearly worse than a Monarch.
Reversing causality to try and turn evidence against pure egalitarianism into a pseudo-scientific argument for oppression narrative based political views IS controversial.
