Do you feel like it's growing?

I'm honestly impressed by Zuck's willingness to completely ignore market conditions.

It's a recession.

Officially a recession folks. No amount of arguing is going to change that fact.

I agree and what has gone wrong are organizations that optimize short-term profits at the expense of long-term biospheric viability. That's what has gone wrong. So the solutions have to come from organizations that are focused on long-

It's likely we will blow past 2C as well. It's time to start thinking about mitigation strategies. The mitigations will require geo/bio/agro-engineering which in turn will require coordination across various disciplines

Do you have a counter-argument?

This is zero-sum thinking. No one benefits from this and this policy makes it more likely that China will consider military action against Taiwan.

These algorithmic mediums are now part and parcel of how people communicate. The solution is to either disable or take out the algorithmic component entirely because if the algorithms are doing the curation then there will continue to be an

It's been known for a while that high noise levels are correlated with psychological disorders like schizophrenia. It might be related to the fact that noise prevents people from getting a good night's rest.

Microplastics are now found in human breast milk. The implications of this on physical development are not yet fully understood and will not be for a while but the fact that the Flynn effect is now in reverse should be an indicator of long

They're not gonna do anything like that. Teenagers are addicted to it so a blanket ban would be impossible. This is basically a rumor to game the market. The news will spread which will impact the stock price, then it will turn out to

It's theoretically possible, the question is who would want to live in that world? What you're asking is more of a sci-fi question that anything pertinent to our current set of problems. Profit motives need to be re-oriented to ac

It's not entirely the case because there are still some commodities that are connected to actual productivity in the real world but by and large you're correct, it's mostly a game with monopoly money and mostly destructive co

They don't because a virtual infinite economy is essentially a game like minecraft. It has nothing to do with reality other than being a toy simulation with no physically relevant constraints.

Every person requires a set number of resources per day in order to survive. This number hasn't changed for centuries and in industrial societies it can be equated with the consumption of energy (food and electricity). Degrowth philoso

These are great references. Thanks for putting this together and I agree with your assessment. Logically it is impossible to have infinite growth on a finite planet. Destructive human activity in the past tended to be isolated but the rise

I am reminded of a very poignant monologue from Shawshank Redemption about men who have come to believe their impoverished existence is the only possible way they can continue living because of how long they have lived that way in an instit

Maybe you enjoy being algorithmically told to behave but some adults don't. It needs to be a parameter that can be controlled by the user and not the admins.

You can't prevent it. It's a knob only admins have access to and is not reflected on the site in any way other than as an obnoxious warning that you've noticed.

Industrial countries have to cut back on emissions while also deploying improved energy technologies to developing nations. I don't see why the article concludes with not cutting back emissions in more developed nations because develop

That is unfortunate. You're probably not the first person this has happened to and won't be the last so it may be possible to file a class action lawsuit against PayPal for closing legitimate accounts and not providing a reason. I

That makes sense. I'm not familiar with PayPal policies, when do they shut down accounts for sending remittances? Is the policy listed somewhere?

HN does not have transparent moderation so you won't know unless you have root access to the server logs. This has always been the case with HN, the moderators have free reign and no accountability so you won't find out because th
