I know, I read the article. What is not on YouTube is literally every other part of the story. For what we know (as described in the article), it's possible that the student was always calm and rational, or that he screamed abuse at th

This story reads a bit too outrageous. It's like a plot from a film like "God is Not Dead", with social justice warriors standing in for militant atheists. This should raise a few eyebrows with any critical reader. And indeed

I don't know what newspapers you read. Even the Model S was wildly successfull by 2017. I certainly read about that car topping sales charts in Norway thanks to government subsidies in 2013 or so. There were government subsidies for EV

The problem though is that what she was selling was complete fantasy. Tesla raised some eyebrows over whether they would be able to produce faster, better and cheaper, but the product Theranos had didn't even exist with higher costs or

That's a pretty wild statement, even if it was about Tesla instead of Musk. Especially considering that a ton of these policies are about as old as the Tesla roadster. Must be a hell of a achievement to change policy retroactively. The

Incredibly rarely police kills for me. Extremely rarely a soldier kills with the mandate of the parliament of my country. Killing is abnormal. Whenever someone is intentionally killed, it is a failure of society and an incredible tragedy.

The article goes into excrutiating detail and compares the Spartan abuse with both contemporary and modern abuse. No, what "western society" does is not comparable to what Sparta did to and with its soldiers. Also to note: the pro

Killing ist not a part of the human experience. It ist only the distance you mention that even allows you to glorify the ultimate dehumanizing act. That it is even romantice in the context of child soldiers speaks volumes.

In Freedom House's report on India[1] you can read about how they arrived at "partly free" for India. While the COVID lockdowns and their effect on marginalized groups where highlighted as events of 2020, if you look at the p

For most people, moving some ten thousand kilometers away from friends and family isn't really an option. I agree that the author isn't saying anything much, but "just work somewhere else" also isn't a very strong p

The NYT abusing these kinds of allegations in a hit piece doesn't say anything about whether such claims can are "contentious and weaponized". Hit pieces latch on current topics. In the 1950s, the NYT would have had invented

There is a difference: a constellation is an area of the sky where some stars appear to belong together to form an image. Their actual distance may be vast. A cluster on the other hand actually is a group of stars that formed from the same

It frustrates me that people mistake the political compass meme for a thing that actually exists. It's more complex than "left" vs. "right" and authoritarian vs. libertarian. Compressing politics down to literally t

Ironically, the idea that "googling things" about a topic won't lead to reductive and incomplete answers might exactly be why you give such a reductive and incomplete answer here.

History, ZIP and DNA already are personally identifiable information (PII). Pseudonymisation is in general not enough to avoid the GDPR and similar laws. And pseudonymisation would require the removal or obfuscation of all PII to the po

Worse policing also leads to more incorrect clearings. Who knows how many murders were incorrectly pinned on husbands or wives, or known petty criminals, or tramps? The same technology we use to find murderers can also exonerate people. We

Random vandalism is a huge problem that requires a ton of ongoing effort to contain. It's mostly invisible to normal users because there are enough volunteers helping out with supressing it, but it's a huge effort nonetheless. But

This is very wrong to the point that I have to question if it can be a good faith argument. Hitler was funded by capital. It is true that he employed anti-capitalist rhetoric, but he was not concerned with capitalism per se, but with Jewis

When you dismiss any reasoning as "userhostile" and "FUD" it will be difficult to understand any change. For the life of me I can't understand why so many people are always convinced that people who develop replacem

IRC isn't federated in that sense, users on EFnet can't interact with users on freenode, so the network effect works in that case. Gmail has an enormous market share (about 40%) but I don't think that's related to the na

I don't really understand that argument. What does a failed prediction about super-symmetry in 1996 have to do with the opportunities of the next collider? How does "we didn't find evidence for or against supersymmetry at LHC

Recycling glass takes a bit less energy than producing new glass (and a lot less CO2 is emitted during the process).

It's easier, cheaper and less energy intensive than producing new glass. Literally billions of tons of glass are recycled each year.

The difference is that there's no mechanism in banking that keeps ramping up the difficulty exponentially. All the energy in bitcoin is not wasted on keeping and organizing that tiny ledger (barely 300 GB of data!), it's wasted on
