Good thing he didnt say to death.

Were cops assaulted on Jan 6th? Were the rioters there at the behest of the President? Why were they there?

Eat my shit. Like I'm gonna shit out some shit and I want to scoop it up and eat it.

He espouses feelings that should be an out group by what the majority of folks believe is good for society.

You can get as moral-anti-realist as you want but it isnt 2012 anymore, it's 2026 and the wealthiest man in human history is espousing white nationalist great replacement conspiracies to millions of followers on a media platform he has sole control over.

I'm pretty comfortable saying that's bad morally or from a utilitarian perspective. It's bad! We can say that!

There are definitely use cases for which it isn't needed. But that doesn't cover everything. There will ALWAYS be use cases that would require (or at least benefit from) higher connection bandwidth...and speed can often substitute nicely.

I've noticed when commenting on very well run public systems, nobody brings up huge countries. China, Russia, the US, etc... It's always fairly small countries. It might be confirmation bias on my part, but it seems like the best run organizations are generally fairly small. Small startup companies. Small or medium-sized cities. Or, at a national scale, small countries. It seems the answer to bad management is to keep things as small as possible.

You can also often reduce the risk of cancer recurrence significantly via diet (e.g. avoiding most or all animal products and ultraprocessed foods, and eating lots of greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries & fruits, and nut & seeds) -- especially along with other lifestyle changes like exercise, avoiding smoking and alcohol, stress reduction, good sleep, community, etc..

Problem is there is not much money in such advice... Especially when there are many vested interest in selling unhealthy food and profiting off of sickness. People who make money off of sickness don't even have to win the scientific argument, they just have to seed enough doubt to confuse people so they keep doing what they were doing. That strategy by industry of intentionally sowing confusion is mentioned here 18 minutes in - and it was based on the success by the cigarette industry (and I'd add the fossil fuel industry) in doing the same thing:
"What The Health - Full Documentary"

"18:24 You know the strategy is not on making their products any safer. The strategy is to just try to confuse the public to introduce doubt. You know.
18:33 there's a famous tobacco industry memo. It's called doubt is our product. That's all they had to do. They didn't have to convince Americans that smoking
18:41 was healthy right. They just had to introduce doubt -- then they would win. If there's just enough controversy people kind of throw up their hands: I
18:49 don't know what to eat. Confusion is their game"

That said, I hope treatments like Moderna's eventually show convincingly that they do a lot more good than harm -- since the process of getting individuals and societies to change their diets can be a very slow one -- as mentioned here about 35 minutes in:
"100 Year-Old Nutrition Professor: 7 Keys to a Long Life | Dr. John Scharffenberg"

"35:26 [Scharffenberg:] They're going by the cholesterol level with the idea that if you lower your cholesterol you will not have heart attacks anymore.
35:32 It's not true. It's not true. And we made a mistake. We should tell them that lifestyle [including a whole-food plant-based vegetarian diet] is important.
35:40 But the problem is we haven't persuaded people to live like they even know they should live.
35:47 Yes. That's our problem. [Interviewer:] And that's why I'm studying to become a therapist, I want to figure out how do we...people know what to do, but... [Scharffenberg:] A lot of them know what to do.
35:55 They don't do it. [Interviewer:] It's hard, yeah. [Scharffenberg:] It's hard."

I feel like I'm in a constant race to flee enshittification : Used to use Cursor (it's still my only option at work), but then Musk bought it, and they instantly went in on hard-sell tactics. Switched to vscode + copilot + OpenRouter, but was getting concerned about API costs. Just yesterday I set up a Tencent TokenHub account with their Max package, which required that I switch off copilot if I wanted to be able to use some models like Kimi K3 (had a temperature=1.0 requirement, copilot doesn't let you set temperatures and hardcodes them to very low), so now it's vscode + Pi + TokenHub.

Sigh. Please don't make me move again...

(Not that Tencent is in any way "the good guys"... but they're also providing a very generic product)

The RAM crisis is but just one sign of the cracks in the system.

That's hilarious that the country was established in 1776 to counter communism.

Maybe you should read the actual scientific paper instead of ranting. It will give you knowledge and improve your blood pressure. (In case you missed that last reference: ranting raises your blood pressure. There you go).

Man, if you're getting your science information from news stories, the problem is you.

We live in a world where the actual study is a click away. At least read the abstract.

Entangling multiple qbits is still tough

Linux support for all ARM devices from any vendor (maybe except for Raspberry Pi) really sucks, honestly. Out-of-date kernel forks, distro forks, u-boot, device tree, etc. Unless you need an embedded system, there's no reason to by ARM. At least not until they all support one of the system standards like SystemReady, has UEFI, generic boot, etc.

Like a few others above you're falling back on the old, "but other systems are worse so you should be happy with what we have" fallacy. And even worse implying that criticizing the current system and calling for change is the equivalent of lobbying for some other system like a command economy or whatever you think communism is.

You're making a number of assumptions, some of which may not be valid. First you are assuming that the system you have is the system you think it is. Second you are assuming that it cannot be made better or changed any way, to serve the people of the United States better and with greater freedom and opportunity. Third, you are assuming that the system you have today is the same system you had 10, 20, 100, or 200 years ago.

For an increasing percentage of Americans, life is getting worse and worse financially, and also physically. Such people are vulnerable to ideologies that lead to poor alternatives, including (currently) fascism. The whole point of the United States, its economic system, its political system, laws, justice, etc, is to make possible and provide a means for its citizens (people!) to build lives, families, work to provide for themselves, etc. Full stop. Yet the system we have today is failing a significant percentage of the population and has changed significantly over the last decades. Cracks are showing and getting wider. How should it be fixed?

Are you serious? So fascinating. I always thought America was about freedom of expression, citizen involvement in government, encouraging individuals to campaign (or talking and debating others in a public forum such as this) for reform and change when someone sees something that's unjust or need fixing. But all you can say is if you don't like it leave? That's really what America is now?

Even if I hold different views and values than rsilvergun, kudos to him for having the courage to say things and call for needed change.

Nope that's not it either. Companies have found out that if they collude and control the entire supply of something, they can make more money by not meeting demand, indefinitely. The free market basically no longer exists and definitely no longer discovers prices by matching supply and demand. Covid fundamentally broke it all. Even without collusion in markets with high barriers to entry, reducing supply, or at least not meeting demand maximizes shareholder profits.

Don't mistake heavy criticism of our present failing system for endorsement of any other system such as CCP China. Saying all other systems are even more horrible is not a valid reason for blindly accepting the many problems we now face.
