Digital ID is the pattern of the mark in revelation.

Once you let go of God (worship of truth and love) the government or other totalitarian force will try to control people top down. The logical way is to identify them.

You go from a system of free will and distributed cognition to one of enforcement top down. New things can always be added to it as you don't control it. All the "problems" of the states will tag along.

Making it digital is way worse than anything before because it allow to control you without having to pay a cost in enforcement, you control the flow of money, of exchange, you let the computer control people allowing a system so top down the Nazi and communist couldn't even imagine.

Worse part, it's already there for sure but in shadow form, they have all the info about the people, it's just not tied to financial transactions and out there in the public.

So a tax financed site telling how it's great to have more tax and regulations. Not surprising. Find it very weird to have government trying to gerrymander things just as we are on the cusp of EV transition and autonomy. Go take a ride in a Tesla with FSD, the future is here, let it come in, get out of the way. In a few years with autonomous vehicles the need for vehicle ownership wild radically decrease and with that a huge need for parking space will simply vanish.

What I suggest instead: make electricity super cheap use all the ways possible create space for charger system but let brands compete( don't over regulate) Allow autonomous system to operate, be a trailblazer in the field.

Go ahead and short Tesla. Electret has been an anti Tesla machine for years, it used to be mostly positive and at a some point it flipped very hard. I would guess they it's a vendetta or they get paid by someone to spew misinformation.

In this case can you imagine the pressure on a high executive with lot's of share with the recent drama around the elections, Trump, Epstein, etc. Again, Elon stand alone in his dedication.

I think it's very hard to put a price on Tsla at the moment with FSD getting ready, I just did a family road trip with my (old HW3) Tesla from Montréal to Manhattan it was almost flawless, way safer than if I drove myself. What is the value of that? What is the value of that system in highway trucks that drive all day?

Exactly: plastic is already cheap in the pristine version, the mixed, contaminated is a nonsense product, valid only as a grift, greenwashing prop. Burn it and handle the remains properly.

What I find tiring is propaganda and "the message" (if you watch the critical drinker) The structure of the myth is not a problem if you respect the personages playing it. I just watched Firefly, a sci-fi serie done on a small budget decades ago, it's so much better than the slop we have these days with 100X the budget.

Why? Because the personages are different (really diverse) pursue their own goals and try to do good (mostly) in their own weird and incompatible ways.

To see that and enjoy it realy show what we lost recently, we are demoralized by our own culture.

A tribe is a collective brain. That work when people put truth first (Christianity) As the root of our culture fade out, we tilt toward satanism instead (serving self) Thus the tribes and institutions can no longer be trusted, everything fall appart, everyone lie all the time to serve the current advantages.

I would say discard people and institutions that lie to you, shame them. We don't have the time and brain power to find the truth in every decision.

There is no countries in Europe, it's the Europe union, the WEF. Just look at your immigration policy and birth rate. Europe is commiting suicide.

The US is waking up from that strange nightmare, going back to self gouvernance.

Don't be afraid of Trump, look instead at what is happening at home.

(all big US monopolies are trojan horses, same is true for China)

This was proven in the Twitter files. The same was happening in Facebook and Google.

There also independant research that prove this. hard to Google ;)

Basicaly it's proven that just switching the autocomplete when you search Trump or Kamala can sway the votes of undecided by huge margin.

The seek those and switch the suggestion were it matter.

They also incite people to go vote depending on the choice and buch of other dirty tricks.

You are right that it no longer work. In the end truth will always win because it connect to reality. Having just X switching to truth will swarm the world.

What you are chasing is your god or a spiritual quest.

As you don't have a conception of a global god on top of all the other you swing from one to another: finding myself, doing hard, things, robotics, climate change, girlfriend, pleasure, etc.

Those can all be good things, but they are not the top thing.

"You will have no other god beside me"

The central God is you idea of good, the things beyond your reach.

You keep your girlfriend, she become your wife and you have kids. You can climb montains but it doesn't need to be himalaya, etc. Maybe your big thing will still end up around physics Everything in it's place. In the proper amount.

Now if you loose one thing it's not the end of your world.

This keep you centered and avoid the crazy swings.

As we can see in this tale, his god was the startup or money. Once he had more than enought no motivation was left, he killed his god and had to find another one. This happen to a lot of people that reach their goal, instead of being happy they are emotionaly destroyed.

I hope this is clear and can help others.

32,571.4% ? 320X the limit?

Why do we continue down that path, are we that stupid collectively? We know the fertility of men is falling year after year, we know this, yet things go on as if it's not important.

We could calmly debate the amount on the limit, but at this point we know the job we have to do.

Conterpoint: Phone are small and replace so much more stuff: radio, flashlight, camera, video recorder, landlines, computers, etc.

Grind them up and recycle the metals in them.

in 20 years the tech will be so far more advanced and will lead to even more dematerialisation.

The real waste is the waste of human potential by social media that is destroying the yought for profit.

Jira and the modern cargo cult agile make me hate software development.

The important part is to create a team, people working together, helping each other, trusting each other.

Anything that increase trust and organic collaboration is useful, most of the rest is a waste of time.

Ex: if your estimates are used once to put the blame on someone, congratulation you just destroyed the morale and trust of the whole team. Now everyone will start to lie and pad their estimates, the game is now how to behave to cover your ass and the one of your friends.

The real problem is screens of all sorts: gaming and cellphones.

Most kids have unlimited access to internet so it's video games and porn for boys and social and games for girls.

The roads and curbs didn't change here, but the amount of time outside definitely did.

Cool, another computer nerd into ceramic and glazes!

Glazes is actually glass where you mix all kinds of powdered element from the periodic table and melt them at 1200C to hopefully get a result you like. A unusual kind of chemistry.

I am more interested in the glazes and the results he got than the crud app and the DB. Just read it in diagonal, but I don't see why a simple Django app wouldn't take care of this easily (with admin) and you use sqlite for local use case.

I switched to halogen incandescent at my desk and I feel much better.

There is something in the LED and neon light that get me dizzy, it might be the spectrum, it might be the flashing at 120hz.

We also need near infrared light for our mitochondria to work properly and we created an environment devoid of it.

I was wondering what is that space company and what are their edge with spaceX.

On the site you can see: launch on demand, simple system that can go anywere, tactical launchs.

This is for nukes or similar stuff.

It's from my experience, I live in progressive buble (Québec) that I could say is fighting with California for the top spot.

I too was progressive most of my life, it's the water I was in for all my life. I didn't understand the other side. Here Trump, Maga, guns, red states and faith are seen as backward, stupid and evil.

It's in the last few year that I poped that buble of thinking and now can see and understand the other side.

Here it's almost impossible to any discussion with a bit of nuance, the minute you stear away from the CBC talking point you get asked "are you a Trump supporter" with a raised eyebrow.

I have seen the censure in action in Twitter, Facebook, Google and most mass media in the last few years and also the statistic of political leaning in all the big tech company and all universities.

With the lastest thing happening at NPR, I am not surprised to heard that they are also ideologicaly compromised.

I could be wrong, but I think if we were to see the political leaning of journalists and people of power at NPR it think we would find again a 90%+ of left leaning that is very far from what we see in the population.

A test I was thinking, can you say openly at work or with friend that you will vote for Trump and keep your career options and your friends?

I know I couldn't here.
