This is way oversimplified. Delivering a "shoddy product" is not illegal and it's not the responsibility of victims to deliver justice, it's the responsibility of the government. If a victim wants justice they should go to a court and a court will have access to information on who owns a business.

And I don't buy the "but NOW it's all different" excuse. People haven't suddenly lost the ability to come up with solutions to problems. We aren't far more brittle either; if anything, our ability to ship in goods from other continents makes us far more resilient for anything less than a sudden planetary-scale event. And no, a rise in global temperatures of 0.01 degrees does not qualify as such.

This desperate desire for civilization to end is the logical consequence of all the horrifying propaganda that has been blasted into our heads over the last decades. People like the author of this article lost the will to live, and just wish for it to be over. And not just by taking the easy way out either; they feel betrayed by civilization in general and want to take it out with them. We have been brought to a very dark and dangerous place, and it is going to kill a lot of people that are no longer able to tell truth from fiction.

But civilization? That will be fine; it will continue, and the children of those who weren't demoralized will thrive.

Ageism is a thing. But most people want to wind down at some point. And that business domain knowledge probably leaks away over time. Certainly part-time work can be a thing. But to the degree it requires working together with other people it can be hard to manage, especially for a semi-retired person that wants to go on multi-week vacations.
Is not the air intake and air cooling elements themselves that are masculine per se, it’s some of the designs for air intake and air cooling elements.

Rule of thumb is that the bigger and more attention grabbing it is, the more masculine it tends to be.
Use lots of straight lines and (faux-)chrome elements to grab attention for maximum masculinity.
Or just use the hot rod style cheat code and completely break the contours of the car for ultra masculinity.

Simple example would be comparing the front of a VW Golf with the front of a BMW M3.

With the Golf, most people don’t even realize they’re staring at the air intake, whereas with the M3 it’s staring you in the face, some might even call it “aggressive” looking.

> They hate technology and modernity and want to live as subsistence farmers, a lifestyle they romanticize endlessly

"They"? You are overgeneralizing a group you are not a member of.

What you're describing covers exactly zero of the "doomers" I know - most are just depressed PhD biologists or polymath economists modeling a tragic collapse.

Look up the revised World3 models, IPCC's BAU scenarios, go review Hot Topic and the critiques since then, check out the Existential Climate Risks survey of experts... talking about the risks of collapse, and fearing it happening, is quite rational.

Casting the group as expecting some absurd "population collapse without civilization collapse", or cheering on a massive societal regression, is a clear signal your sample set is biased.
No, I am saying that because they would not know who you are, they could not bring a civil case, and law enforcement would not get involved because it is not a criminal case since it is not illegal.

But if it was public, they would know who you are and could bring a civil case and go through the justice system.

> This is way oversimplified. Delivering a "shoddy product" is not illegal and it's not the responsibility of victims to deliver justice, it's the responsibility of the government. If a victim wants justice they should go to a court and a court will have access to information on who owns a business.

Not necessarily.

And in a civil case, it is unfortunately the responsibility of the victim to set the wheels of justice in motion through the justice system.

I have no idea why you think I am in favor of mob justice when I am at risk of it too as an LLC owner.

14 GW just in 2023 alone.

Note that Gigawatts is the installed capacity, but GWh is the actual production. Germany produces 2.5 times more energy from wind, rather than solar (quite intuitive, considering that solar is much less productive in Germany compared to, say, Greece or northern Africa).

From Wikipedia [0]:

Germany's installed capacity for electric generation increased from 121 gigawatts (GW) in 2000 to 218 GW in 2019, an 80% increase, while electricity generation increased only 5% in the same period.

Switching costs would be very high. Just consider this library. There is no standard way to handle units in C++. This presumably means that every single piece of C++ software that was ad-hoc programmed to work in customary units needs modification, or some sort of shim/interface layer to become 'metric'. Or be saddled with decades of dual-systeming.

As many of the examples point out, the very act of switching systems can cause problems (the Air Canada flight is the classic example).

This is not to say that switching is a hopeless cause, but it's certainly not a cheap or easy task to perform.

Maybe we can leverage Y2K38 as a breakpoint to help this transition along =P
OP says “voluntarily”. Nobody has to kill themselves, but it seems like a lot of older people aren’t particularly happy in the last few years of their lives, kept alive by increasing drugs and machines, sometimes the mind long gone. Seems awful to extend life beyond the point of enjoyment, and an option to end things seems more humane than forcing people to continue.

>You have always been able to get away with shit in a flight sim that you would never be able to do in real life because you can't defy the laws of physics in real life.

You might think so, but with the Diamond DA40 in MSFS it's actually the opposite: Even with just the pilot and a half tank it stalls like it's completely overloaded with 4 passengers and a full tank. So I can actually see how they might have engineered this on purpose to be on the safe side, so student pilots don't stall the real plane. On the other hand, that also means you lose a ton of options in an emergency. But teaching young people to fly the plane more careful than required is probably better than the other way around.

I find it unsurprising that many people have no direct awareness of the underlying science behind basic things. That lack of awareness is not an indictment of the science or even the unaware person. Most of us know almost nothing about the world around us relatively speaking. We behave as if we know, but for the most part we’re just repeating/perpetuating beliefs embedded by the current iteration of culture. Direct knowledge is increasingly rare.

what? building design has a lot of parts to it.. "big cement slab" and "some insulation" are not the only parts.. But good quality design and the parts to build it are expensive. There is an underlying theme of saving money to accomplish something otherwise not possible. I am sympathetic to that of course.. Something is not right about the design, but what bad manners to point it out first! Someone put a lot of effort into some upgrade and they likely cannot change the decisions they made, due to time and costs, etc.

I don't think that's fair. dang is a great moderator, and this is a particularly tough subject to moderate - as he says, every side tends to feel that people are biased against them, and to some extent it's true. (If you wonder how people can be biased against both sides - it can be different groups of people. E.g. the UN is biased against Israel, but the US is biased for Israel.)

I don't know if pg is still involved in moderation decisions on HN. He's widely considered anti-Israel, by most Israeli techies at least, but I don't think this necessarily means anything about HN. (And although I don't know pg personally, I'm willing to give quite a bit of benefit of the doubt to him, and I'd bet that his personal integrity would keep him out of directly intervening in moderating HN about this topic.)

Story time, a decade or so ago at one of the Naval Air Stations where they conduct intermediate/advanced jet training. The base did a community outreach event where they invited the aerospace club from a local school (basically an extracurricular program where they played a lot of MSFS) to spend an afternoon in the T-45C simulator. This being Naval Aviation, each guest had the opportunity to attempt a carrier landing. Most of them sucked at it (of course they did--it's hard enough for experienced pilots). The last person to go was a tiny hispanic girl, maybe a fourth-grader. She needed to sit on a stack of NATOPS manuals like a foot thick to be able to get to the design eye height, and was unable to reach the rudder pedals or pretty much anything other than the throttle and stick. She trapped on her first try. No idea where she ended up, but I hope that she's at least had the opportunity to become a pilot by now.

Anyway, I think simulator training is fantastic procedural training (normal, emergency, and instrument procedures in particular, but a good sim with force feedback should instill good habit patterns regarding trimming the aircraft in response to throttle/configuration changes and lots of other things). I've never been impressed with full-motion sims though--lots of stick-and-rudder skills really need flight hours to build still.
