It’s crazy that the tragedy of the commons is only a problem because the commons are also free for people to close up and start charging for.

I think twitter also might still give blue check marks to “important” people it’s just available for anyone to buy now

201·18 days agoNetanyahu literally cannot pull his troops back. Any peace time for Israel means autopsies on the conflict and the whole Israeli government getting charged for war crimes. Governments understand this and it’s going to be Western governments stepping aside and withdrawing their money to allow Israel to get flattened by the regional powers. I don’t like the Israeli government, and there certainly are a lot of supporters in the region (probably over 50%), but we’re probably about to see a whole bunch of innocent Israel citizens being vaporized as well.

221·29 days agoListen Meta, all you have to do is make the technology free and available to everyone, prove you aren’t motivated by profit, use your vast wealth and resources to improve society, and be completely transparent with all your business interactions. Then you wouldn’t be getting all this hate

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is Roots really that controversial that it needs to be banned? Haven't watched the movie cause I quit pot and haven't read the book but isn't it like historical or something?
21·2 months agoAfter some research it originated in the movie “half baked” and has been referenced more than once across other stoner films. So the guy’s not completely off his rocker.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why does almost nobody live here?
2·3 months agoI’ve had similar thoughts. It’s ocean-side cities along America’s West coast, it’s along the same coast as some of the most desirable locations to live in the world (SF, LA, and many cities in between and beyond.) it seems strange that the population moves further inland when you look on a map.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why does almost nobody live here?
8·3 months agoWhat the hell lmao. You made an argument for why people don’t live in New York because I don’t move to New York.
And implied that literally everywhere else in the world besides where I live has reasons why “nobody” lives there because I don’t live there.
The logic isn’t strictly wrong per se, it’s just something akin to a tautology, it means nothing.

6·4 months agoYes. You should have to censor yourself for neighbors and peers to have a functioning society. You should not have to do it for corporations. The line is pretty cut and dry and we should fight to keep it.

5·8 months agoSome people like that trump is a freak, they excuse the most heinous shit for the people that think he’s a freak, but he’s a necessary evil to take down the deep state or necessary to fulfil biblical prophecy, who in turn provide excuses for those who think he’s kind of bad but will help the economy who in turn provide excuses for the “centrists” who didn’t vote for him but think the accusations are blown out of proportion.

Technology@lemmy.world•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
73·8 months agoSorry, but it’s more like a crab apple.
It looks like an apple, it’s presented like an apple, it’s advertised like an apple because that is what makes the YouTuber money. But scientific methods and standards exist for a reason. It’s very easy to produce bad data and especially easy to extract bad conclusions from data if you have an incentive to do so (such as a fan base who might engage with the video less if the conclusions were against their expectations)
There’s a chance that this guy’s conclusions reflect what a proper study might have found, but it’s just too hard to tell if it’s a crab apple or not it’s essentially probably a little better than chance.

41·9 months agoYeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?
At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.

Stuff like this makes him seem compromised. Republicans get the excuse of party loyalty. There is literally no legal or moral justification for voting against this and Fetterman isn’t technically in the Republican party to be loyal to.
