Ich bin gut nen Monat nach dem Rest der Welt auch im Charlie xcx “Brat” Sommer angekommen, ist ein wirklich gutes Pop Album, das erste seit Lorde “Melodrama” was mich im Mainstream Pop wieder so richtig mitnimmt. Hab das jetzt auch schon bestimmt 50+ mal vollständig durch gehört und ist immer noch nicht langweilig.

Einen Freund hat es anscheinend an Marina (and the diamonds) “The Family Jewels” erinnert auch durchaus sehr empfehlenswert.

Also falls female vocalist pop euch theoretisch interessiert und ihr irgendwie noch nie von den dreien gehört habt hört mal rein.

I think scale matters because almost no person is as much of an island as your example fishing video guy. I actually have noticed almost the opposite in most people I know, YouTube is the default place to get entertainment. Across all their interests.

From both sides the network effect might be strongest with YouTube, the creators can’t leave because YouTube has virtually all of the audience, and consumers don’t want to watch singular people on other platforms because on YouTube you can stumble over interesting videos and all the people you like to watch are already there.

The only way I see for other platforms to actually grow is forced interoperability, as in videos of other platforms appearing in the YouTube frontend. Which Google would never do so the government would need to force them.

The good safety of nuclear in developed countries goes hand in hand with its costly regulatory environment, the risk for catastrophic breakdown of nuclear facilities is managed not by technically proficient design but by oversight and rules, which are expensive yes , but they also need to be because the people running the plant are it’s weakest link in terms of safety.

Now we are entering potentially decades of conflict and natural disaster and the proposition is to build energy infrastructure that is very centralized, relies on fuel that must be acquired, and is in the hands of a relatively small amount of people, especially if their societal controll/ oversight structure breaks down. It just doesn’t seem particularly reasonable to me, especially considering lead times on these things, but nice meme I guess.

Yeah I’m in Germany so my context is somewhere in between and here the projects that improve my life the most is when cars don’t get to/need to travel on the streets as much, this can either be through modal filters, removing car lanes or just banning cars (with the usual delivery window in the morning and such). And they are starting to get to the kind of streets where you could go 100km/h (in terms of size) that are in practice 50km/h, and are now getting them down to 30 (taking 1 of 2 car lanes and giving it to bikes as well as adding obstacles to indicate slower speeds). So it’s doable and of course it takes time, but with a bit of luck it might be faster than some Americans imagine it could be.

So of course bike lanes along mayor roads (corridors) make sense, and it can be a good starting point to get a skeleton network in place, which then can Kickstart intersection redesigns and traffic calming, wherever it’s reasonable around it. To me the best bike paths don’t go along roads though, they are the “recreational” paths that still connect things. Cutting through a patch of Forrest or a park, going along the waterfront, parallel to a tramway or rail corridor or just along/through the fields. These are probably also politically cheaper than some other measures, but you run the risk of building a thing that just connects nothing because there is no real infrastructure on either end.

I feel like Americans think they are 60+ years behind when they are probably only 30-40, if the attitude turns somewhat sharply, either just in your local area or more generally, maybe just 15-25.

A lot of this stuff is monetarily very cheap, depending on how desperately you wanted change the actual infrastructure you’d need, would boil down to planters, bollards, cones, maybe hay bails or large stones/concrete pieces. The problem with that stuff is that it’s only possible with the right opportunity politically, otherwise your traffic calming might get bulldozed by police or something.

I sorta agree and sorta don’t, all streets should be 30km/h or less and shared traffic, everything else should be with bike lanes. Streets meaning a piece of infrastructure that provides access to places lining it, not a piece of infrastructure for longer distance travel.

The Netherlands is good not because there is a bike lane on every street but because all the streets with destinations (private homes, business, schools)are connected by bike lanes as well as roads, often more and more direct bike lanes.

There are a lot of areas where cars bikes and sometimes pedestrians share the same space both in inner cities and in residential neighborhoods, it’s just that they aren’t through roads for cars or at least very very slow ones, while they are often through roads for bikes and peds.

Lashing out is by default at everything, there isn’t target selection really, because if you select specific targets you open yourself up to increased resistance.

There is nothing left other than that this need for change, and that you have some bodily power to fight for it.

You are trying to argue on civility, cooperation, and still raising awareness, the protesters have determined there is no civility, and there is no one listening and acting on it, so why should they care. They specifically are complaining to everyone, maybe they specifically want to hurt, damage, or sabotage everything.

The highway might be the most destructive target depending on where you are, precisely because people like you who cost 100s of dollars per hour, and shipments, and everyone is stuck. Like the defect is diffuse, but you should know that the more you control the more it ultimately hurts if things go wrong (not in the bodily but financial sense).

It’s great that you do what you can and you likely have a lot more power if you can push for things within the structures you are in, but you must realize their ultimate power is in their bodys and in what destruction they can cause with them, because they don’t have those structures, that agency, but of course not the pressure and work that comes with it either.

The Walmart parking lot shuts down 1 Walmart, the courthouse 1 courthouse, the right street shuts down 10s maybe hundreds of places (at least partially), it binds more police and personnel, and it’s hard for the city to prepare for. It’s the right move if your mindset is to cause damage, which I think is just as reasonable as trying to use the power you have inside of the systems that already exist, especially for people that don’t have that much power.

What I’m trying to say is maybe you understand how you percive the world, but there is legitimate ambiguity and differences of circumstance that lead to also completely normal, but different from yours, perceptions of the world, and that maybe instead of trying to defend yourself you just might need to accept that. Like there should be room to have compassion even for people that don’t have compassion for you because they are still human beings.

You know the goal is not to educate but to apply pressure sometimes. Everyone feels if an inner city is continually and or randomly brought to a standstill even in part. The point is to hurt, and if things stand still you just sit there in your car while the business and government around you start to lose “productivity” or in other words control. If this is done enough they have to change their behavior because we will keep going and they will continue to lose control. That’s the hope at least. And for climate specifically what good does the childcare do if the world your children grow up in stays on it’s current course on climate. I sorta assume you know all this as well. It’s fine for you to want to live your life and for stuff to be annoying, just don’t disparage those who just want to lash out because lashing out is a perfectly reasonable reaction. Not for you maybe, but for the once that have that reaction right now, know they are fighting for you as well.

The problem was in some ways invented to cause sociopolitical problems. Or to solve them for the bourgeoise. Whichever lens you want to take to look at it. The water wheel always did exist and was for a lot of the time cheaper than coal, but more prone to strikes because location and labor was so linked.

Linke und MLPD sind vor der SPD, sonst wie erwartet grün und Piraten vorne und FDP AfD und CDU hinten.

Macht aber mal wieder klar das ich für meine sozialen Standpunkte die SPD zu sehr als bürokratische Verwaltungspartei und zu wenig als “demokratische Sozialisten” agiert. Was natürlich auch schon vorher klar war aber es ist trotzdem immer wieder schade zu sehen wie sich die deutsche “Arbeiterpartei” weigert Politik für Arbeiter zu machen.

German and potentially other train stations have smoking areas indicated by a yellow line on the ground, circling the area.

They are frequently completely ignored with some people lighting their cigarette while the train they are exiting is still opening its doors.

Probably because trains are limited in both weight and volume compared to ships and also less efficient. If you have this short route and know it’ll need this amount of cargo shipped it likely makes sense.

This single ship can carry more containers than any train could be expected to pull, likely by at least one order of magnitude.

All in all I’d guess the advantages are roughly:

• Reduced staff
• reduced energy use (land based shipping is less efficient almost by default)
• no need for infrastructure except ports (if you assume there is no train line or this shipping would move existing lines over capacity building this ship is likely cheaper or at least in line with 300km of rail)
• simpler logistics (loading / unloading)

Disadvantages:

• Speed (a train would likely move at 3-5x the speed)

I would also not expect the risk for catastrophic fires to be all that high. This ship has the batteries be containers. So once you’ve designed a container that is a large battery, you’ve already spent so much that a proper BMS including proper battery fire suppression as well as proper breakers/contractors are things you’ve built into it without even thinking about cost. The separation provided by building containers as the battery is the next line of defence if one container fails spectacularly, it also allows the batteries to be maintained on land, much cheaper than if they were part of the ship.

But if absolutely everyone gets all of that for free, there won’t be enough people working just to sustain the ones who won’t.

This isn’t really a reasonable conclusion though, why could the people doing that work not be incentivised, by being rewarded in some other way than just a bare minimum livelihood? Why would they abandon their station to just do nothing instead ? Doesn’t good protection enable the worker to negotiate their work to be fulfilling, rewarding and well compensated? Are the workers not just cogs in the machine if they don’t get that power to actually negotiate? …

It makes no sense to assume nothing would get done if we just had enough to live no matter what, the argument that we’ll make more and better things seems much more likely to me. Both are somewhat unknowable until we just do right by people and see it working.

Big city for sure, I don’t want to need a car and I do want to be able to get groceries 23.40 at a Saturday night. It’s nice to have a group of 500k+ people actively trying to supply for all of the needs and wants I might have.

Um mal ein spezifisches bsp. zu geben bei mir war ~18h nach Dauerkonsum (~1g/Abend) der wert bei 1,7. Ist wie andre schon angesprochen haben durchaus auch abhängig vom Körper. Grundsätzlich ist aber durch den nichtlinearen Abbau laut hanfverband in der Größenordnung

Wert=Startwert*(1/(Zeit/h))

eben die größte Ungewissheit und ‘Ungerechtigkeit’ in den werten nahe null. 3,5 ist somit ein deutlicher schritt weg von “Bestrafung durch die Hintertür” in Richtung “Verkehrstüchtigkeit Evaluieren ohne eine Verdächtigung von Konsumenten grundsätzlich in kauf zu nehmen”. Praktisch heißt das für quasi alle Konsumenten das Fahrtauglichkeit(per Gesetz) pi mal Daumen nach ~24h wieder gegeben ist wahrscheinlich früher. Natürlich ist dieses schätzen grundsätzlich nicht wirklich ‘richtig’ wird aber wohl bei den meisten auch beim Alkohol sehr gängig sein, und tests regelmäßig vor dem fahren zu machen geht ja auch irgendwo an der Lebensrealität der Menschen (heutzutage) vorbei.

So I mostly fried the SSD by using it to write and rewrite ML checkpoints and logs, this in turn made the device read only and I somehow managed to migrate to a different SSD probably using clonezilla or something, but it messed up the bootloader so I installed refind in a new partition, configured it and voila it works. It’s scary because you need to do everything without seeing your system even half alive anywhere along the process, but it’s not actually hard, just copying data and installing/configuring a bootloader. But for a then 20year old at his more or less first job my head was on fire for the 1.5 days this took.

By far the most difficult single thing that I’ve ever had to fix that actually had to do with the system.

I now don’t flood my SSDs with data that is constantly rewritten.

Einwanderung ist also Kolonialisierung? Wird Europa dann auch gerade kolonialisiert? Frage für einen extrem rechten Freund bei der AfD.

Nein Kolonialisierung ist ein spezifische Art Einwanderung die wir immerhin von der Ästhetik her nicht mehr mögen in der modernen Welt. Das heißt nicht das jede Einwanderung Kolonialisierung ist. Ich würde Kolonisierung lose definieren als: Politisch / Wirtschaftlich gesteuerte und motivierte Einwanderung mit dem ziel und der realistischen Aussicht der (teilweise) politischen Kontrolle des zu Kolonialisierenden Gebietes oft einhergehend mit militärischer Gewalt.

Im Gegensatz hierzu ist Flucht migration nach Europa wohl kaum belegbar gesteuert, und hat keinen Anspruch auf politische Kontrolle und auch genau-sowenig realistische Aussicht hierauf.

Ein erster Grundstein wurde dafür beim ersten Zionistenkongress (1897 in Basel) unter der Führung Theodor Herzls gelegt; der Plan einer Staatsgründung nahm durch die britische Balfour-Deklaration von 1917 konkretere Formen an. Von 1920 bis 1948 bestand das Völkerbundsmandat für Palästina, das nach der Auflösung des Osmanischen Reiches Großbritannien übertragen worden war. Eine verstärkte jüdische Einwanderung und der Aufbau protostaatlicher Strukturen führten in dieser Zeit zu ersten Konflikten mit der arabischen Bevölkerung. Der UN-Teilungsplan für Palästina von 1947 hatte das Ziel, diese beizulegen, doch wurde er von arabischer Seite abgelehnt. Dennoch erfolgte am 14. Mai 1948 die israelische Unabhängigkeitserklärung, und unmittelbar danach begann der erste Palästinakrieg durch den militärischen Angriff der arabischen Nachbarstaaten auf den jungen Staat. Die folgenden Jahrzehnte der Geschichte Israels sind vom andauernden arabisch-israelischen Konflikt entscheidend geprägt. wiki:Israel

Da diese zionistische Kolonialisierung eben von beginn an auf die Schaffung eines überwiegend ethnisch/religiös Jüdischem Staates zielte ist sie anders als der überwiegende teil des Kolonialismus (Zeitalters), welche zu beginn oft auf Missionierung und Später hauptsächlich auf wirtschaftliche Extraktion zielen. Auch aufgrund der Duldung durch das Fallende Britische Imperium und den relativ späten Zeitpunkt ist die spezielle Ausführung von Israel eben deutlich vom mainstream Kolonialismus entfernt, allerdings mmn. eben nicht vom Konzept an sich.
Speziell zwischen 1917 und 1948 kann man durchaus von Kolonialisierung sprechen, Ja Kolonialisierung mit nationalistischem (anstatt Imperialistischem) Anspruch und nicht imperial oder vollständig selbst gesteuert, sondern teilweise fremdbestimmt, aber trotzdem Kolonialisierung. Das ist durchaus auch erkennbar daran das einige der siedelnden und das Siedeln unterstützenden Organisationen den Vorgang selber als Kolonialisierung bezeichneten. Das Rückkehrgesetz und der Siedlungsbau sind die modernen Überbleibsel dieser weitestgehend abgeschlossenen Kolonialisierung.

Imperialistisch ist eher eine Einordnung des modernen Israel aus einer Wertschöpfungsketten bzw. Systemischen Sicht
wiki:Imperial Core

The late 19th century saw the rise of Zionism in Europe, a movement seeking a Jewish homeland, which garnered British support. After World War I, the Ottomans were defeated and the Mandate for Palestine was set up in 1920. Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine increased considerably, leading to intercommunal conflict between Jews and Arabs. The 1947 UN Partition Plan triggered a civil war between the two groups, which saw the expulsion and flight of most of Palestine’s predominantly Arab population. Wikipedia (Israel)

Speziell dein zweiter Punkt steht hier mmn. sehr in Frage, nur weil die Besatzungsmacht UK hinter dem zionistischen Projekt steht und viel Land durchaus legal unter britischem system gekauft wurde heißt nicht das diese durch das zionistische Projekt gesteuerte und von Europa teilweise gestützte Einwanderung keine Kolonialisierung darstellt.

Aus meiner Sicht ist der partitunirungsplan der UN eher eine Post hoc Rationalisierung der im vorausgegangen Kolonialisierung als ein gutes Argument gegen israelischen Imperialismus.

There is no revolution coming to save you. We have to save ourselves the difficult way, through voting and incremental steps. Belief in a sudden revolution that will make everything better is childish.

Saving ourselves the difficult way you say pushing the quite dangerous status quo thinking that is leading us into the very catastrophe that you somehow don’t see coming. Both climate change and late stage capitalism are real problems and potentially apocalyptic in size.

That is going to cause revolution (with revolution being the fundamental change of culture and social relations) wether we are prepared for it or not. Not because of some vague march of history or whatever but because changes in environment impact our thinking and the viability and security of systems that are currently running the world, and because large changes in environment are coming for all of us.

Trying to just work within the structure to change the superstructure is similarly naive as just waiting idly for revolution. The neoliberal revolution for example was able to change the superstructure in a lasting way fairly recently and fairly quickly, because they were positioning themselves in anticipation of crisis, and not because they were playing only by the rules in the structure.

Yes voting for the “correct” candidates is important in some ways but it completely misses the importance and scale of problems to come and what is needed to protect ourselves as best as we can from their impact. Americans can trust the Democrats fully and be disappointed again and again, but they can also decide to build and change their political landscape in other ways while still voting dem as long as that’s the appropriate harm reduction vote.

Voting and incremental change are the “easy” parts, building and protecting for yourself and your community, so that you and your loved ones are able to “not let a good crisis go to waste” is the kind of revolutionary pre figuration that we need right now. There will be violence either way we might as well try to use it to change things for the better for more people afterwards and during.

I don’t know how anyone sane could look at the state of the world and think they a) there’s some revolution on the horizon, and b) it would result in a better world order if it happened.

To a.) giving myself the presumably 60+ years until my death there is certainly a (couple of) revolution(s) before the horizon To b.) yes the worst people and institutions you can probably imagine will use everything in their power to make everything worse which is exactly why there needs to be real resistance which the Democrats aren’t because they are part of the structure and largely don’t have your interests at heart. They could be changed for the better until then, but while they are moving slowly something else needs to be built as well.

Jup sehe ich auch so und hier wird auch oft Durchgangsverkehr gesperrt oder immerhin schickanen installiert sodass die Autos sich nur dort Entlangbewegen wenn es wirklich notwendig ist.

Teilweise gibt es anscheinend kurzfristig Umstiegsschwierigkeiten aber grundsätzlich scheint der Kram in die richtige Richtung zu gehen trotz den hundert Kleinigkeiten die halt immer schief laufen.

Also some application of similar tech has worked itself into industrial machines and factories over the last 10 years or so, it’s downright ubiquitous for anything that’s expensive and requires maintenance/ upkeep. Also it’s well intertwined with the ML tech we see consumer facing nowadays, the image recognition of 4+ years ago was made to recognize issues with materials, unexpected growing patterns, anomalies, as well as recognition and counting etc… before we got just point your camera and it’ll tell you what you’re looking at.
