It would be equally as foolish to say the logical conclusion of liberalism is Stalinism. The underlying fallacy is the idea that politics has any conclusions at all.

I don't think this comment really needs to be addressed, but since you're making my point for me: public media doesn't need to chase ratings, and thus doesn't need to chase outrage, allowing for more nuanced and in-depth

But PBS is already on the internet.. I love public media and have worked in the public media industry, and what I think what we really need is PBS for conservatives. Can you name a _single_ conservative PBS/NPR host or program? Was the

Cool initiative! Can we talk turkey? What's your cost of capture per ton, and how do you scale from one ton to two billion tons? The average emissions per capita per person in the US is 15 to 20 tons per year. You're building a pl

It's the pollution of space and desecration of the common heritage of all mankind. All of our pictures of space look like this now: https://twitter.com/StarlinkPollut1/status/12536666545606246... A bleak visu

How is this any different than how the US maintains its empire now? David Brooks' column in the NYTimes this week is the same thing - using the excuse of LGBT rights to justify American colonial projects in Iraq, Afhanistan and Palesti

I love seeing this kind of tutorial, that isn't just a step-by-step guide, but also an exploration of the thought process and trial-and-error that goes on in crafting each step, so thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of the work on th

I think you're making a very common mistake, which is misunderstanding the carbon cycle. We could, theoretically, grow enough plants to get down to pre-industrial levels. However, plants decompose when they die, re-releasing their carb

Have you done the math on that? It seems like it would take an awful lot of poop to counteract a coal fired power plant.

One of the more exciting things in green aviation is "air to fuels". There are companies working on converting atmospheric carbon into hydrocarbons for storage (using renewable energy). Those hydrocarbons can then be used as jet f

It's much higher than that, we've spent over $530bn just on _interest_ on the debts the war required.

Horrible. Where is the outrage over Afghanistan? So much of our money was spent on this catastrophic failure while so many people in own country struggle with basic needs. I'm furious. Why is this colossal waste of money tolerated by t

Is anybody here using Graal Native Images in production? I'm interested in it, but it seems like it's too "alpha" to be used for anything real yet.

I hope UnitedHealth, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal are next on the list. The whole thing is a shell game with everybody blaming everybody else and the buck stopping nowhere. They need to go after everybody involved, from the phar

The idea that journalism shouldn't be "partisan" is a bizarre American fantasy, not an international standard. From day one, Wikileaks had a stated policy of trying to achieve "maximum impact" for their publications

Cwtch is an important word in Welsh, like hyggelig in Danish or koselig in Norwegian, etc. It's kind of a "national identity" word, you see it on tourist souvenirs.

The missing backstory here is that the author _played the game_. This is the end state. You play with fire, you get burned. If you want to use graduate student/CIA-recruitment language, reduce individuals down to their demographic comp
