>Run a democracy long enough and you'll have the boot of 51% of the population on the other 49.

Why is there a 49% of people with widely different ideas about what's to be done and what's good than the rest 51% of them? What kind of fucked up society would that be?

Democracy pressuposses a shared base consensus about reality and what's good, and then arguing about the specifics and the approaches.

How did PrEP change the ways you can have sex ?

In my world, sex without a condom with people you do not know and trust is asinine.

Texas has added a massive amount of batteries in a year or two. Worth noting, however, that as a fraction of their peak load California has about 3x as many batteries as Texas, because Texas uses far more energy and has much less rooftop solar. So while they are in the 2nd position it seems like a fairly distant 2nd.

This is absolutely absurd. Economists including Nobel prize winners, including even Eugene Fama who proposed the Efficient Market Hypothesis, does not think the stock market is normally distributed.

At best, using a normal distribution is something that undergrads use as a tool to learn about the stock market and make some simplifying assumptions for pedagogical purposes, but it most certainly is not something that actual professionals or researchers in the field genuinely believe.

Because, despite having vast amounts of renewables, Texas is a key political contributor to our lack of a cohesive national strategy for ditching fossil fuels. Its national politicians regularly insist that climate change is a hoax.

If a few decades of trying to use rationality have failed, I'm all for calling attention to their own local failures. If "dunking" on them is in bad faith, it is only because good faith arguments have failed so consistently.

> I'd recommend that at the very least you match the gender of the voice to the gender of the author.

I prefer the voice to match the protagonist. Or better yet an audio play with the narrator voice plus a voice matched to each speaker.

This is the kind of bikeshedding that AI text-to-voice can make moot. We can all have it our own way. That's an argument for generating the voice just in time rather than as a batch. But as long as such tools aren't ubiquitous this batch is a great public service.
FYI, I'm not who flagged you. You can look at my profile; the vast majority of my posts up until this post have never been about my politics; but seeing political arguments being made on a political post, I'm not going to hide what I believe.

> Blame the guy calling out the gloves coming off. Yall are good at hyperfocusing on the melodramatic banalities.

You're the one who was sounding vaguely threatening without being specific about anything. Regarding politics, the gloves have been off, for a long time, since before Trump was President. But the violent rhetoric definitely escalated since then. It's pretty rich to criticize the liberals and the left for violent rhetoric when there was non-stop violent rhetoric from Trump and Republican politicians while he was president, and frequent right-wing political terrorism echoing Trump's rhetoric. One good example being how the El Paso shooter defending his country from replacement and invasion. I remember when those bombs were mailed to the Clintons, Obama, George Soros, Joe Biden, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Maxine Waters.

I remember Trump mocking Pelosi family after Pelosi's husband was beaten with a hammer. Even a ton of non-explicitly violent rhetoric, like calling immigrants an infestation, or when he called the media the enemy of the American people, or when he called liberals vermin, or him calling for Biden's day of reckoning, or how "Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country". I have heard Republicans, Fox news hosts and former Trump advistors, call for violence like when he was impeached, or when they lost the 2020 election. The 2020 election: all the threats against the election workers and elected officials, and then the actual January 6th insurrection.

It pisses me off to hear people equivocate that with calling Trump a threat to democracy, which is the truth; he tried to overturn the 2020 election. The right has been stoking violence; frankly, I have little sympathy. Like I said, the gloves have been off; I don't think one could do much worse than what's already been done.

It does work, but user training is something that- whether for security or otherwise- is a continuous process. New hires. Training on new technologies. New operating models. etc etc etc...

IT is not static; there is no such thing as a problem that the entire field solves at once, and is forever afterward gone.

When you're training an athlete, you teach them about fitness and diet, which underpins their other skills. And you keep teaching and updating that training, even though "being fit" is ancillary to their actual job (i.e. playing football, gymnastics, etc). Pro athletes have full-time trainers, even though a layman might think, "well haven't they learned how to keep themselves fit by now?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse

The resource curse, also known as the paradox of plenty or the poverty paradox, is the phenomenon of countries with an abundance of natural resources (such as fossil fuels and certain minerals) having less economic growth, less democracy, or worse development outcomes than countries with fewer natural resources. There are many theories and much academic debate about the reasons for and exceptions to the adverse outcomes. Most experts believe the resource curse is not universal or inevitable but affects certain types of countries or regions under certain conditions.

Monetisation in general is a double-edged sword for any and all platforms and communities. Letting users make money from their work is great in theory, but the end result is that everyone becomes significantly more greedy and selfish, hucksters and spammers run rampant, and the changed incentive structure destroys whatever value the platform might have.

It happened with every forum that attempted revenue sharing, it happened with YouTube and Twitter and Instagram and TikTok, and this rate it'll probably happen with Threads too.

Actually, no. The UC Berkeley TCP/IP implementation was not the first. It was more like the fifth. But it was the first for UNIX that was given away to universities for free. Here's the pricing on a pre-BSD implementation of TCP/IP called UNET.[1] $7,300 for the first CPU, and $4,300 for each additional CPU. We had this running at the aerospace company on pure Bell Labs UNIX V7 years before BSD.

Much of what happened in the early days of UNIX was driven by licensing cost. That's a long story well documented elsewhere. Licensing cost is why Linux exists.
