Tragedy of the commons isn't a problem with human nature, it's a problem with the incentives in a capitalist economic system. Look at what happened with the real commons - individuals who were using it decided to organize and regulate sustainable use of the commons. Only corporations are selfish and short-sighted enough to fulfill the theory's prediction.

It may not be intentional anti-environmental shilling (in general, with sinij in particular it's quite clear that it is), but it is practically indistinguishable from it. The best time to build nuclear was 50-60 years ago, but the second best time, at this point, is probably never. Renewables with storage are vastly cheaper and vastly faster to build. Building nuclear today means locking up resources for decades that could've been used to rapidly deploy far greater amounts of cheap clean power instead. There are only a few niche uses where nuclear could still make sense and they are steadily being eaten away by renewables with storage.

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.

I think who you and GP are looking for are the Black Panthers. They're still around and didn't take kindly to the ICE goon squad.

That sounds socialist.

why does big tech HAVE to be so fucking creepy?

another day, another AI company "warning"

you gotta PUMP THAT BUBBLE!

all you get is a void of power where a local, or even worse, a "sovereign" solution will fill that void. look at russia.

it's especially dangerous in Europe due to 1) extreme trust in their institutions and 2) spite for everything coming from outside, especially america. Far too many europeans even in this "technical" website justifying whatever the EU is trying to regulate now, especially if it's an american app or website. The mindset of "if the government is banning it, it means it's good for us" is scary. The worst part is the "especially if it's foreign tech, it's doubleplus good then".

america wtf

AI is a metric fuckton of cons and a tiny pinch of pros. Typically we allow bad things to happen if they come with a greater amount of good, not the other way around.

Some scientific studies have found that permanent DST is about 2/3rds as good as permanent standard time:

And others have found that permanent DST is the worst option:

Considering Trump is pushing this it's probably lucky that he's not manually adjusting the time zone to suit how he feels with no warning.

Because unlike software-based solutions, it can successfully hide the information from the user (barring any hardware vulnerabilities). The problem isn't just that hidden information can exist on the system, the problem is that the root user can't access the information. Being able to access the information is what made DRM crackable. Without that, it could be possible to make a DRM system that actually works, which would be the worst invention in the history of computing. If the user can clear it but not see it, that does nothing to make that less viable.

No strawman, it happens almost every time I express concern at the possibility of TPM enabling a working DRM system.

Anyone care to once again reassure me how TPM, a system for hiding information from a computer's user regardless of privilege level, can't be used for DRM again?

one of the largest tragedies of knowledge sharing imo. at least in the past, on web forums, we could rely on archive.org to preserve them. now everything is in the "darknet" of facebook groups and discord servers.
