Comment Re:Tragedy of the commons (Score 1) 383

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.

At this point, disgruntled employees are almost certainly orders of magnitude more honest than the current administration which has been repeatedly been caught lying, distorting facts and straight up making shit up and calling it alternative facts.

Trump has done its best to sow doubt, anything that disagrees with them by default has much higher odds of being true than literally anything they could say.

At this point if trump administration said the skyvis blue, sun is yellow when viewed from earth and grass is green - I would instantly assume all of those things were false. Thats the state of fucked up this prick has created.

Fuck you and anyone else so stupid as to believe him. You deserve the ass rape he gives you.

I say this as a 30 year software dev that actually understands 'the full stack' unlike the poser node.js devs that think that means 'browser and 1500 node is plug-ins to fix tabs in SOURCE CODE' collage drop outs ... and fully aware that im obsolete.

Deal with it. Move on or be replaced. And if you whine about it, you will absolutely be replaced

This just in, a report published by a group of people who would be materially harmed by losing business to the EU building its own technical capacity declared it would be costly and unfeasible to ever abandon them.

NC is the only state I know of that does this. I've been over a good portion of the US and all of the south east and NO WHERE ELSE do they do this shit.

And its not like its an experiment, I've lived in NC for over 20 years now and they are still too stupid to use reflective paint.

We also have this dumbass shit as well - https://www.ncdot.gov/news/pre...

There is literally NO WAY more than one lane at a time can flow through that intersection and it is almost impossible to make it from one side to the other without stopping EVERY SINGLE TIME. If you are in the front row at the first light and speed, you can make it through the otherside if no one else is in the way and you don't mind ignoring the lane lines in order to cut corners - but otherwise it is literally impossible for traffic to flow through the intersection. Everyone going through has to stop - which is pretty much the EXACT OPPOSITE of useful.

Fucking this - RIGHT HERE - THIS.

More intense light is not the fucking solution. 50 bright ass blue flashers on vehicles are a problem - they make it hard to see ANYTHING BUT THEM, so you run over the worker in the road cauase all you could see was the ignorant cop that left his flashers on full blast and blinded everyone driving by. ESPECIALLY THE DRUNKS and people high on something.

More consistent light on the pavement so you can see whats there is whats needed - not getting my retinas burned like I'm welding without protection because some jack ass at a light company makes more money selling light bars with more and more lights on it.

This shit is absolutely ridiculous.
