"I'm not a Veteran".

I'm a Veteran.

I stay away from the VA for all the reasons listed above. You could argue it's better than nothing but the fact remains that on aggregate private is better unless you are healthy (AKA: don't need it) and only care about free (aka: better than nothing).

Doesn't take too much googling to see that the VA suffers all the halmarks of why to not trust Government owned and operated options. And it's not getting any better with the current dysfunction of the government due to poor leadership from the top down and deep division as people ignore facts and history to support a religion that says socialism is good - despite the facts.

So again... I wouldn't wish the VA on my worst enemy even if you know a couple people lucky enough to not be fucked over by Uncle Sam.
What does "10 million die from air pollution" means?

We know that air pollution is bad, but how can we say "this person died from air pollution"? One can die from cancer, we know it is the cause of death because we detected cancer cells and the symptoms are consistent with cancer. Air pollution may have been the cause, or it could have been many other things, including bad luck, we can't really attribute this death to air pollution, even if the patient lived in a polluted environment.

It is not the same as saying that someone died of covid, like stated in the article. Controversies aside, we know when someone died of covid because of the symptoms and virus testing.

I guess it is a result of weird calculations based on estimated life expectancy reduction correlated to air quality metrics multiplied by the world population or something like that. But speaking in terms of life expectancy directly would make more sense, and probably would give a clearer idea.

You think only Americans have mental health problems? Those are everywhere. The difference is that Americans reject their public transit for the bottom rung of society and then are surprised when it's populated with society's rejects.

And honestly, the big thing needed to make transit viable is denser city planning. You can't do decent transit in a sprawl suburb, it's just not logistically possible.
I have, yes. From a team perspective, there's zero technical difference between TypeScript types and a combination of default args and type checker functions. The same ends are achieved, but in a far less kludgy way that's overt. In the event a type checker is missing, it can be added/documented quickly with zero time wasted on trying to answer "what's the TypeScript way to do this?"

Types aren't the difficult part, it's TypeScript that's difficult. The documentation is a nightmare and in my experience I saw "any" types being used far too often (which literally defeats the purpose of using TypeScript).
Go to somewhere like Germany. You pay a "Pfand" when you buy the plastic bottle and it's noticeably sturdier than in countries without this system. There are machines everywhere (especially in supermarkets) that you can put the bottles into. The machine collects them for cleaning and refilling and you get your Pfand back.

The infrastructure isn't crazy and it's working nicely in plenty of countries.
I am not sure I find this explanation convincing. If a corporation thinks it could increase profits without RTO and after eating office real-estate losses, it'll do so. The real estate companies and the middle managers do not make decisions for these companies. If wasted office costs are $10M, but more happy, productive, and efficient remote employees make an additional $20M, there wouldn't be RTO.

Are certain cities (like NYC) taxing unoccupied office space? If so, how much? This information is much more convincing than a claim that companies are enforcing RTO to make middle managers feel like they are "presiding over their kingdom".

If anyone is wondering why US/corporate empire spent so much blood & treasure, political capital, and moral high ground on sabotage & slaughter in places like Vietnam, Guatemala, and Indonesia - here's the answer. It was due to mortal fear that one of these third world socialist/communist popular movements might actually succeed. (That and plain old short-term business interests)

For simplicity, I was considering "story" as part of the "status" side too (i.e.- there's a story here that I'm better than you for these reasons).

And why not? Does the presence of someone on a stage nullify the free speech rights of those in the audience? It's rude to be sure, but then many obnoxious statements are made by prominent speakers; I see no reason they should be immunized from disagreement. A speaking platform's elevated surface is a proxy for elevated social status, which might be civil, political, or religious in form. The argument that communication should only flow one way is an implicit compulsion of obedience.

One can of course argue that an effective retort is for audience members to turn their backs on the speaker or just leave. That can have some impact in a group setting, but ignores the degree to which video and photography inform public discourse. An experienced speaker, even if booed or ignored, just carries on giving the same speech while looking unfazed, and the lack of exterior reaction to criticism is what people will remember in any subsequent news coverage. News coverage of a speaking event rarely involves more than one camera, and this is sometimes enforced contractually. Only at music concerts and similar light entertainment where everyone is having a good time are audience shots a staple.

Whatever you think of Donald Trump's politics/person, there's no question that he's an extremely effective public communicator. Early in his current political arc, he would exploit the rigid grammar of American news media by pausing he his speeches to urge the TV cameras to pan around the audience so TV viewers could witness the size of the crowd. Of course they wouldn't do thatl media outlets were there to report on his rallies, and wished neither to modify their cumbersome broadcast setups on the fly or be seen to be taking direction from the subject of their news coverage. Trump would then allege that their unwillingness to do so was motivated by the establishment's fear of his popularity, and the audience ate it up. As some of the novelty wore off and attendance at his rallies waned from early peaks, media access was limited to friendly digital outlets who feed had to be licensed by broadcasters.

The fact is that a great many humans don't rely on analysis and reason alone to evaluate incoming information, but also on social cues. This is why 'reaction videos' are so popular on youtube; people want to see feeling on others' faces, either for validation of their own feelings or figure out what they 'ought to' think. There's people having entire online careers doing nothing but sharing affect in response to third party media; some non-negligible part of YouTube is just people selling their facial expressions to other people with unsatisfying social lives.

It's quite interesting.
If memory serves nylon has long, long been the material that provides strength-in-tension in car tires. The rubber holds the air molecules in, but woven nylon layers keep the pressure from ballooning out the rubber.

If you see someone with worn sidewalls (chronic curb scrapers for instance) the white you see is probably nylon.

I would not be surprised if nylon is blended into the rubber now, but it used to be a simpler composite.

Edit: turns out the fillers are just carbon black and silica

https://www.ustires.org/whats-tire-0 says 43% of a passenger vehicle tire is rubber (natural or synthetic), only 4% is fabric. Whole lot of ingredients to protect against UV and oxygen damage. Wow.

> Kudos for using Linux, but that alone (and the hardware gimmicks) is really not enough to justify the cost.

Much of that cost went into Linux driver/app/phosh development. It made libhandy happen, which become libadwaita. Future Linux-based mobile OSes will be able to stand on the shoulders of all that.

So it’s really more of a donation, plus I got a Linux phone on top of that.

Besides, if I’m lucky and the hardware and battery last long enough, I’ll be using the Librem 5 as a daily driver for a decade, which would help amortize the cost even more. During those years, I won’t have to worry much about software obsolescence. All the drivers have been mainlined into Linux so I’ll always get to use the latest kernel version – even if something happened to Purism.

Very strongly agree with your point. In my case the real number of files is in the billions, and they are already aggregated into grouped files to reduce that overall size. But for a period of time I tried to operate on the individual unaggregated files, and that was totally untenable. (Also expensive due to the normally-negligible cost of fetching operations.)
I think this speaks more to your (car-induced) travel patterns than to the inefficiency of the network itself (which might itself be inefficient, as you say). As a non-driver who needs to ride in cars occasionally, my experience is the exact opposite: mass transit almost always gets me there faster, except in cases where it’s been intentionally “nerfed” (including, inexplicably, NYC’s airports).

I had to re-check what I said. I said alternatives to markets that create externalities. These are, in fact, markets. They just don't dump costs off the books.

That said, I agree. No "socialist" economic system has been able to not have markets. This is exactly my point: trying to implement a "pure" form of "socialism" is a foolish game. Much like trying to implement a "pure" form of "capitalism" is a foolish game.

Much better, to keep torturing metaphors, to allow iron to sharpen iron. The best outcome is achieved, I think, by allowing the debate to endlessly continue.

Tribes Petition Environmental Protection Agency to Ban Toxic Chemical from Tires

https://earthjustice.org/press/2023/tribes-petition-environm...

>When 6PPD reacts with ground-level ozone, it breaks down into 6PPD-q — the second most toxic chemical to aquatic species ever evaluated by the EPA. Exposure to 6PPD-q can kill coho salmon within hours, and the chemical is responsible for “urban runoff mortality syndrome,” which kills up to 100% of coho returning to spawn in urban streams. The Tribes contend that 6PPD in tires poses unreasonable risks to the environment, requiring the EPA to regulate the chemical under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
I do not agree with the upper comment that economy is not a science. It is just a human science, where you could have different schools of thought based on different philosophies. But praxeology is indeed an example of something that is not science, as it rejects the scientific method and the empirism.

Property rights and a market economy are not sufficient for capitalism.

For capitalism you also need to leverage the work of others for your own profit, i.e. wage labor. Syndicalism, for example, also allows for private property and a market economy. It's not capitalism, though.

Worker exploitation is a core principle of capitalism.
No.

The (US) first amendment protects citizens from government censorship and doesn't necessarily apply to private venues.

Heckling someone stifles that person's right to express their ideas.

Free speech is meant to protect the expression of ideas. Preventing someone from speaking is an act of silencing rather than an act of expressing an idea.

Usually speakers at events are invited and the host has given them a platform. Disrupting them denies them that platform without providing a meaningful counter-argument or alternative viewpoint.

Free speech requires an environment where ideas can be freely exchanged and debated. If one party is prevented from speaking, then no meaningful dialogue can occur.

Arguing that heckling is a form of free speech creates a false equivalence between expressing an opposing viewpoint and actively suppressing someone else's speech.

> A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child.

Sometimes, the needs of the community are such that the work to fulfill those needs is distasteful to most people. Until such time as such jobs can genuinely be completely roboticized, to whom should janitorial work be distributed? Garbage collection? Plumbing out backed-up toilets? Going out in the freezing cold to plow snow from the roads? Does anyone seriously believe that such work would be happily accepted full-time by anyone over, say, an office job, because why, they'll be socially celebrated for it? Or that it would be politically tenable to draft the wealthy and middle-class to occasionally take shifts for these jobs, as if they were a new kind of jury duty?

This is not a serious suggestion.

If you are in that situation, then obviously you have to do what you have to do.

Absolutely none of that has to apply to the sort of situation we are talking about here.

The only real reason to spend more per disk is when you know all your disks are going to fail, and extending the lifespan per average disk will definitely save you more than the enterprise markup costs. So you better have dozens or hundreds of disks in the first place.

For any truly valuable data, you should at minimum have a backup in one different physical location. That backup should be include at least one redundant disk. None of that is worth spending a dime on more expensive hardware.
Well, to be quite honest, neither is our current car based approach. Suburban developments have long been a massive drain on our tax system due to the incredible amount of infrastructure required to service a comparatively sparse population.

You proposed requiring consent from the producer of a product/service to have their offering probed. And did so with an example of a house not owned by that producer.

If the production company declines, that DOES remove pressure from that company.

Companies that rush out rubbish products can presently be named and shamed by independent, uncooperative or even adversarial researchers. Your proposal considers that research illegitimate unless said dodgy company decides to open itself up to scrutiny, which it obviously would not be inclined to do.
