“The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.” First sentence. Does he object to the diminution of child hood death or violent death, or in his mind does being alienated from nature (fixable in principal by personal choices) outweigh the death of ones children? Totally insane.

On a more personal note, I am always getting panicked by emails from virus vendors about some grand new threat till I walk around for fifteen minutes. I bought toed shoes believing it would transform my experience of walking and hiking. I worried about Congress canceling NPR back in the 90s. When I try to remove some plastic toxic stuff from my diet,mit is extremely hard to avoid a big slide into “purity eating” where a choice to make a slight alteration to the effects on my world i to a matter of moral virtue. From “less antibiotics for the chickens slowing the spread of anti-biopics” to “why do you ask me to consume this swill of the devil?!” Is a small delta in my mind.

For a year or so I listened to all kinds of crypto podcasts or YouTubes / twitter spaces, and it was never long till people brought up anti-vax or global finance conspiracy ideas. I have watched flat earth / scientist debates, and the words of the flat earthers don’t parse as insane.
Thank you, I’ll dig through this.

would you recommend buying 2 and replacing your TVs with it? I'm legit thinking about this, because the home theater setup I'm looking at will cost nearly the same, but two of these + a great audio system would be amazing.

yes, its the difference between the headset being a bold new computer form factor, or just another peripheral.

basically is it a laptop (fully independent), an ipad (excellent secondary device that can do focused work on it's own), or a smart monitor (peripheral with some built in usability)?

Thanks for that. I definitely use turn signals when changing lane to overtake but indeed I don't necessarily do it when returning to the main lane because it is implicit. I am not supposed to drive on the opposite lane indifinetely once the overtake is complete and I am faster than the other car so no warning is needed.
You are just showing more of your backwards thinking and closemindedness.

For starters, most hydrogen today is made from natural gas, so all infrastructure is just natural gas based. If there was a vast source of hydrogen, it will switch over to hydrogen infrastructure. This story resembles the rise of LNG and how people dismissed it as impossible for multiple years.

Negative prices literally create the very incentive for cheap green hydrogen. Your dreams of overbuilding wind and solar makes this even more self-evident that green hydrogen will be nearly free. Seriously, your whole plan is to waste the vast majority of green energy, while simultaneous denying the possibility of any method of utilizing it. It is pure self-contradiction.

Again, virtually free electricity will imply virtually free hydrogen made from it once it reaches mass production. This is so obvious that only people brainwashed by BEV propaganda can refuse to accept it.

PS: H2 Science Coalition is a anti-hydrogen propaganda organization. It only exists to spread FUD about it.
Oh wow. I will update the post later today. Thanks for pointing it out!
Fair enough, but for some submissions (like questions), all of the value is in the comments.

Also, I think a lot of long time users contribute a lot of value in the way of: helpful comments, upvotes, downvotes, spam reports, tech support, etc and they're not recognized for the value that they add. I'm happy to see that your product has the opportunity to recognize that and hopefully that will be enabled in the future.
Alright; neat. Last time I tried Genode it didn't run in QEMU for whatever reason so I have to go on the documentation.

So how does the real-world performance compare? That's what I'm interested in, because I keep hearing "performance is not an issue" and every time I ask for details, measurements, or something I never really get an answer.
> the response should absolutely not be solely in the hands of nothing but "medical experts"

This wasn't the case, and to say so is a blatant misrepresentation of the past. Did Fauci issue a travel ban, enact the Defense Production Act, or redirect the supply of medical equipment? Did the CDC somehow supersede congressional authority and directly fund research via the CARES Act? Were appellate courts no longer hearing cases regarding COVID and civil liberties?

> you also chatted with business people to get insight [...]

this reinforces my point: anyone who happens to be impacted is not entitled to input. Conversations between medical professionals and public officials were occurring every single day. But - do you think Trump was genuinely listening to his advisors?

that's exactly my point, again. No one knew it was going to mutate that quickly and stay an issue. The tradeoff for doing less was more people dying.

> Scharf, in internal writings, did not use the “preferred pronoun” of a potential employee.

Sounds like "Assigned by God" didn't respect the religious freedom of others, and was probably fired for creating a hostile work environment.

The suit is saying that Bitwarden, by asking an individual to confirm their pronouns, tried to compel speak that went against "Assigned by God's" religion. Unless an individual's religion doesn't have pronouns and renounces them, I really don't see how that infringes on freedom of religion.

> I also think there maybe should be blowback for false accusations on people who report them. Basically. You better damn well be sure you head what you heard. It’s becoming to easy to yell racist run away and ruin somebody’s life.

You can't punish "false" accusations without silencing people from making any accusation out of fear lack of substantiation will be interpreted as false. We can't say that the driver did this maliciously; he may well have heard what he thought he did. The driver isn't the problem; he was aggrieved and reported it, as he was entitled to.

Tampering with someone's thermostat because you were entrusted with access to it and later decided you don't like them is sociopathic, and every bit as monstrous as deploying ransomware in a fucking hospital. I guarantee you no diligence was done to prevent collateral damage. More than the driver (blameless) or Amazon itself, this particular executive needs to be taken to task for such recklessness. Interfering with life support or communications systems is just fucked; we do that shit as acts of sabotage during war, and it's domestic violence when it occurs between spouses. Even your utility company needs to give advance notice of termination.

Yahoos acting on bad intel one too many times and punishing the innocent is literally what instigated Black Lives Matter. The irony is lost on Unnamed Amazon Executive.

Great article. I think we find time and time again that the best leaders are really “cheerleaders”. It turns out that inspiring people, personally living the values you espouse, and giving your team trust and respect is the key to success.

In my experience, people excel in environments where they are given a high level of trust, autonomy, and clear goals on the timescale of months and years.

Teams on the rack of egotistical middle managers get stretched thin until they break. There aren’t a lot of good examples of “micromanagitis” being cured. So-called leaders taking credit for their team’s work leads to their team not trusting that leadership has their growth in mind. Art Blakey’s real legacy is both the amazing players he mentored and tutored, but also the attitude that if you give people the tools they need, they’ll excel
> Kinda hard to put a price on that for me. Maybe I'd prefer living with genuinely less comfort but blue skies.

If all you have to trade off is comfort, maybe you can't.

If you were one of the literal HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people who are living in parts of the world that could become unsurvivable in the next few decades, or get flooded by rising sea levels, you'd have a different perspective.

For what it's worth, I agree with you that reckless geoengineering could easily cause more harm than good. But aesthetically desiring a blue sky is a bit silly when up to a billion human lives are on the line (and that's a low estimate)

The source listed by TFA for SST, surface sea-water temperature, is <https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/>

From the note on that page:

The page provides time series and map visualizations of daily mean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from the NOAA Optimum Interpolation SST (OISST) dataset version 2.1. OISST is a 0.25°x0.25° gridded dataset that estimates temperatures based on a blend of satellite, ship, and buoy observations. The OISST data product includes SST anomalies based on 1971–2000 climatology from NOAA. The datset spans 1 January 1982 to present with a 1 to 2-day lag from the current day. OISST files are preliminary for about two weeks until a finalized product file is posted by NOAA. This status is identified on the maps with "[preliminary]" showing in the title, and applies to the time series as well.

If law enforcement has a reason to obtain data, they should be able to get a warrant to obtain data for people of direct interest. But especially the federal gov should not be able to have data that they cannot legally obtain directly from the population. What good is a law and right of the population, if it can be trivially circumvented?

Having data on everyone and then only using it against people they want to use it against is exactly what the Stasi did. Obviously this is their dream come true --just a little to late for them.
It's irrelevant because my entire and only point is that the government has this capability, no "may" about it.

Whether my choice of words implied the level of ideological purity that you wished to see has nothing to do with that.
I think you got autocorrected. The name is libera.chat .
If he had refused to put pronouns entirely he probably would have been fired anyway. By doing it this way he at least has a shot of a religious discrimination suit.
But the fact that they are the same should mean something to you. It also helps not to spam FUD about efficiency, and in the real-world they are much closer than you are thinking. In fact, hydrogen cars are the second most efficient form of transportation possible, and far less resource dependent than batteries.

Property and construction are the most distorted markets in a half of the world and this article is yet another proof of that. Our society as a whole would actually benefit if state intervention would make property market unattractive for investors by oversupply: government could invest 50-100B€ in creating non-profit construction verticals that will oversaturate market. The next logical step would be to allow some of the constructed apartments to be privatized by tenants at low cost: maybe not by everyone, but only by those who has a socially important job (police, firefighters, healthcare and social workers, teachers) and majority of difficult problems that government has to deal with would go away. Yes, a lot of people who bought expensive properties may forget about any returns, there could be some margin calls and banking system won’t be happy. But this would be a necessary sacrifice for a healthier economy in which money go elsewhere.

How can a word be a bomb?

And I'm still at a loss how in a supposedly post-enlightenment world, a single word can be so evil that you have to resort to code to refer to it, no matter in which context or even when you're quoting.

Yes, you shouldn't call people that way - and if you do, that is a clear sign of a racist mindset. But treating the word itself as some kind of forbidden symbol that must be purged from everything is not much better than medieval magical thinking.
Agreed, but this is something that has been going on for decades. Their excuse - believe it or not, I can dig up the source if you want - is that as long as nobody looks at the data it is ok to have it. I thought that was being incredibly economical with words, clearly that is not the intent of the law.
The legal system is a game that is played for profit. Being able to sue anyone for anything is advantageous for the big dogs. So it's imperative that as many laws as possible cover as much seemingly innocuous human conduct as possible with the highest stakes possible. Unrestricted expansion of intellectual property, the ability to lay claim to arbitrary regions of the ideosphere, makes perfect sense.
I agree that taking the subs private for 48 hours is a good first step. And I agree that subs staying private indefinitely is a good next step.

But if neither make headway, just going unmoderated is the logical next step. Yeah, reddit could take over moderating the subreddits. They can also do that if they're set private. But they don't want to. They outsourced that to volunteer moderators so they could get free labor. If they want to run their own moderation, and submit their own content, the reddit corporation can have fun with that.
> And by fostering this environment you're providing cover for atrocities.

To be clear, I am not "fostering [an] environment" or defending 4chan here at all, I am just pointing out that this is a misunderstanding of what the culture of 4chan is.

Like the person I was replying to, I somehow doubt you have spent any time there. Where on the site are you even talking about? /g/? /lgbt/? /k/? /mu/? /pol/? /bant/? /sci/? /b/? Even though they share the cultural features I was talking about, they are quite distinct otherwise. Many people read threads on a topical board like /mu/ or /g/ and haven't spent any time on the more offensive or stomach-churning parts of the site like /pol/ or /b/.

> Because not everyone is there just to have a fun time saying slurs

I resent this implication that merely because I suggest people understand the things they are talking about that I am on 4chan using slurs. This style of argumentation would be right at home on the worst boards of 4chan...

> it is an actual site of conversion and radicalization towards their goals

4chan is not a person, it doesn't have "goals" or opinions any more than heterogenous online communities like eg HN or Reddit do. I would agree that 4chan as a community does house more polarized opinions than most online communities, though that seems to be largely a function of not having upvotes and allowing anonymous posting.

To your overall point, that this is a value difference between myself and the GP, I fully disagree. I am making a factual (and not value-centric) claim that toxicity towards anyone posting on the site is an integral part of the culture there.
I might get down-voted for this, but I totally understand why Netflix, who bought the Dahl Company in 2021, is editing these stories.

I agree that it is important to have a full and complete historical record, but Netflix is interested in making money, and I recently read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to my six year old and he loved it. So I started to read Charlie and the Glass Elevator to him and stopped only a few pages in when some very offensive caricatures of Chinese people talking in English showed up. And I haven't read my son any more Dahl since then, because I was genuinely shocked at what I had just read, stopped that book after that chapter, and went off to read something else instead, and haven't gotten around to James and the Giant Peach or Matilda again. It interrupted what could have been a lovely flow of Dahl books. So I can understand why the people who control the Dahl Company- and desperately want people like me to read his stories to people like my son- are stealth-editing them to kill the offensive stuff, so that I will buy more books, read them to my son, and then he will 30 years from now buy them and read them to his children because they have nostalgic value for him: they remind him of his dad reading to him.

This censorship isn't happening because of the iron hand of the state or anything like that. It's the result of people making choices within a capitalist system. It's because I have lots of great stories to choose from to read to my six year old, so why would I choose one that I have to explain lots of ugly bigotry? So Netflix is choosing to try and sand down those problems that might keep someone like me from reading the book to my kid, in a totally understandable way. And, as the rights owner trying to maximize revenue, that is their prerogative.
Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world. And I wouldn't call Italy or NL "poor."

Switzerland's GDP per capita is around 25% higher than the United States. I would further guess that Switzerland probably has much less inequality than the United States. The Swiss are uniformly rich compared to the extremes of America.

Hey what do you know, I found the lawsuit:
"That same week, Bitwarden tasked Mr. Scharf with interviewing a
potential employee whose “preferred pronouns” were in contradiction to Mr. Scharf’s
religious beliefs. Mr. Scharf conducted the interview in a professional and respectful
manner, avoiding the use of pronouns all together. Mr. Scharf assessed the interviewee
favorably and recommended that the interviewee advance to the next stage of the
interview process. Because of Mr. Scharf’s religious beliefs, in his notes regarding the
interview, which were shared internally and not with the interviewee, Mr. Scharf did
not use the interviewee’s requested pronouns."
