Yes, I too benefit from controlling the publicity, messaging, narrative and history surrounding my actions.

It has to survive though in the sense that it has to live long enough for us to see it. If we think of life as "spontaneously" (roughly speaking) emerging from the right conditions…

I'm pretty sure that everyone is aware that an article from jacobin has these biases. Perhaps it is notable because you're so frequently exposed only to billionare and corporate bi…

In an ideal world we would roll back to the 1996 telecommunications laws. (or something approximating a sensible approach to less narrow share of the broadcast spectrum) I think an…

Timing belts are crazy strong. From my FRC work the amount of abuse and weight they will deal with is handy. Belts will burn through polycarb if it isn't tracking properly. They ar…

He is saying "if we apply (or are applying) the same business mentality to government, we will get literally the worst government we are willing to tolerate based on money" It's no…

Given the state of software today, I'd be happy with steak that was competently cooked. I love software development, but most of it is not high art, nor high performance, nor free …

I don't have the time to look up the exact processes, but certain levels are replaced with every presidential cycle - so there's no question that there will be some change assuming…

As someone who lives in the great lakes region, we don't assume that because the resource is large in comparison to a human being that it is an endless resource. DCs operate at the…

Oh good, I'm glad China is beating us in the path to stupidity. These types of projects are the dumbest things we ever did here. Classic! Nothing dumber than reallocating resources…

> I was for them and now I'm against them until they pay for their own electricity. Exactly my sentiment. I don't even understand how this is controversial. The only ones who don't…

In areas it's dry enough it is just leaving that watershed. It will be carried hundreds and thousands of miles away.

I used to think it was just electricity. It could be just electricity, but when they try to divert hundreds of millions of gallons out of water scarce resources like the colorado r…

> I'm not offended in the slightest > what a patronizing and absurd reply I had to double check my replies! The author, nor me implied it wasn't about being male, in fact it is exp…

Guaranteed this is being used against journalists and their sources by the feds.

I'm going to assume you left it off intentionally if you can't even address it. Read it again. They narrow it two ways in addition to being male: "0. but the main reason is that th…

I think you left this off. > the main reason is that they are, overwhelmingly, males Was that intentional? Do you disagree that tech is overwhelmingly male? Do you happen to be som…

> NPM is by no means the worst offender here Ok, I can agree it is a boring comment, but who is worse? NPM gets targeted both because it is popular and because there is a wider att…

Maybe they were looking to generate publicity. There's no way they picked those over the 4th and 5th place.

I don't know why you got downvoted. In any case, this makes "sense", but doesn't make sense in that if we nuke the land in some way, distort it from a peaceful balance, I don't thi…
