Propaganda is really really effective and works really really well. Even on educated people.

> The long game is that the railroad will lose money when they create a 9-figure incident. The short game is the management makes their money. Even if they do (and this is a BIG if…

Presumably the same forces that cause the rate of profit to decline everywhere. It's not anything new, it's just the latest step along the cut-costs-at-all-costs staircase.

Indict, but you're right. The international community has egg on its face from how it is treating Russia vs. how it is not treating Saudi Arabia. The parallels with the Saudi-Yemen…

conflating "banning all independent media" and "banning a media outlet that repeatedly spreads lies" is the exact thing that the liars, hucksters, charlatans, conspiracy theorists …

Call it paranoia but I see this "WD is amazing, Seagate is shit" sentiment everywhere, but the data doesn't back it up. Is this guerilla marketing by Western Digital?

This is proving my point. Look at the lap times on Laguna. https://fastestlaps.com/tracks/laguna-seca-post-1988 Most of the stuff around the 1:45-1:47 mark is a hot hatch, a grand …

Hot hatches aren't supercars! The instant acceleration and drag strip performance means it's closer to something like a Dodge Demon than a Ferrari 488. That's OK, it's just not rea…

Weird, I saw people elsewhere in the comments mention heatshrink tubing being substituted with electrical tape. Definitely does seem like a weird thing to base an article on especi…

> literally a supercar for 55k~. Sorry but this isn't accurate at all. It's an electric muscle car. It goes fast in a straight line and that's it. It can't corner, it can't sustain…

Does Ford use electrical tape in lieu of heatshrink tubing?

I mean I get the idea and all, but considering half the internet runs on AWS is this even feasible? Your day-to-day internet use would be crippled. Wouldn't it be better to spend t…

I honestly didn't even realize those were temporary, I've just always seen them.

The GP obviously doesn't mean that 1000+ ppm CO2 is toxic, they mean that the changes to the environment it would cause are less than ideal for humans to thrive.

I'd agree with you if we could do what we need with just forests. But unfortunately we can't. Some other form of reducing carbon is a core part of any long term plan. It's just bad…

I think I get the worry and skepticism about geo-engineering but to be completely frank we've been (inadvertently) geo-engineering the planet at least since the industrial revoluti…

Where in Ann Arbor? I live in it and have never seen a structure like this.

Considering there's pretty compelling research that ketamine can help people that suffer from depression and MDMA in conjunction with therapy helps those with PTSD, I really think …

Don't really follow your logic here, you're conflating prostitution and a "loneliness epidemic"? Prostitution is as old as civilization itself. Older, probably. I don't see rising …

Yes, you just need to rm -rf ~/.zoomus touch ~/.zoomus The opener is the only thing in that directory.

I wonder if there's a large enough market for a "decentralized cloud" along the lines of IPFS but for compute. And, yknow, actually working decently. Something where you could pay …

I'm not even at odds with the idea that the US playing world police has done good for the world. I'm merely pointing out that when you allow anyone to be world police, you can't do…

Feels like every day there's another one of these outages. Shame that everything is so centralized that there's a single point of failure that affects 3 of the biggest communicatio…

Interesting angle, but the US war machine has also trampled on the rights and freedoms of thousands. Look no further than Operation Menu in Cambodia, or the countless regime change…
