Sure thing hoss, just because we know where the minefields are, we as individuals are now empowered to take hyper-focused walkies again. No need to fight those that lay mines.

No need for any real action, to change the government and force bad actors out of the game forever via a justice system. Just stay divided a little longer, stay under the thumb a little more, believe in privatized problem-solutions overcoming systemic rot.

Liberal slob propaganda trying to stave of the overdue violent riots against the dystopia its spreaders built.

It was not really a base for capitalism to take hold and effect. It needs a basic rule of law and democracy to work. All it got was brief window of chaos, before the kleptocracy returned.

Best description of the cultural background i found so far was this:

But that is just art. Not great art. Great art comes from stepping away from your peer group after you mastered it, being able to incooperate "unrelated" or "impossible" other concepts into the art. Its a subconscious process, of recombination and filtering.

And only some can boldly go, to were no person has gone before.

Which makes this the ultimate training goal for AI. Not AGI, but a synthesis AI, capable to produce "breakthrough" candidates for the field it is trained upon, by allowing noise and filtering for the criteria of great break throughs- explanation power, beauty, higher consistency, that puzzle piece fitting all gaps moment. If there is ever a creature out there, doing that, silicon or otherwise, humanity will own its continued existence to its existence.

The disaster is already preprogrammed. Lots of germans bought electric heaters to heat flats through the winter, as the heat provided by the house central heating will be reduced. Which will result in large increases of base load on the network, which already will be under strain.

Which means rolling black outs as soon as it gets cold. Perma-black outs if the people do not see reasons and unplug their heaters. No solution has been proposed for this. The clever ones went for wood for heating.

Still preferable to shiver one winter through, then have it warm in putins prison.

They are also out of foreign currency like Sri Lanka. Which accelerates chinas problems, as pakistan is one of its debtors and will likely default on those credits.

I have thick fingers (physical labor produces those) and the mac short-cuts are really not made for guys like me. Yes, i can change that. But still.

To much rationality or filtering early on in creativity detrains your mind from being creative.

No dopamine on discovery of the new, prevents that circuitry from running after a while. Write it down, filter it later. Celebrate even ridiculous ideas and approaches, consider them not "failed" nonsense, but in-between-steps as your subconcious works on the next, better solution. Let self-critique not be negative "Ridiculous, never would work with the physics we got" but more "constructive" -"that would be great if we could get it to fly".

Also remember, that your subconscious works with the knowledge it got. It needs input, to create strange mashups. Get your input way outside of your field to not be stuck in the solutions of your peers.

It was ever just a hype photo operation, to prevent good public transport from taking hold / being invested in?

Train boarding at least could be decoupled from slowing down and stopping. Just have a "Shuttle Wagon" depart pre arrival from the train with those who want to get out and another one speeding up with new passengers after the train as it passes through the station. Under ideal circumstances, a train would actually not even have to slow down for this. Con is that there is always a Shuttle in the station.

Remember also, that large companies have experimental expansion phases which they usually abandon once economic crisis dawns. If the thing you build is such a "experimental fort" - your parent company might be open to a "buy out", were you promise them favorable conditions by your future company with whom they share the IP.

The labs janitor sold dead animals for a side hustle, cheaper then cremation and the lower caste is not properly educated about bacterias, viruses and bio hazards.

Liberty that leads to decomplexification, leads to poor, aka less complex societies. All are farming, all are producing linearly for a exponential thirsty humanity.

The disaster is within liberty without bounds and mistaking societal complexity (division of labor) for enslavement. It has also repeated in other locations (ruanda, zimbabwe come to mind).

Something like https://www.kuka.com/en-de/products/robot-systems/industrial... with adaptable force parameters should have been used.

I think methanol is even a better storage candidate. https://phys.org/news/2022-06-holy-grail-catalysisturning-me...

Is the blue a reference to the phrase turning grandpa "blue" for pension aka keeping him post natural mortem in the freezer?

Several countries on this list are "low" trust societies?" so the data could be explained very well with it.

It needs to be even more standardized. So far in fact, that it could be part of a API, that could be handled by software, so that a robot could cancel the contract for the user. User should be able to create and cancel contracts via automated negotiation.

Science goes were the data goes and the data on half of humankinds actual, unfiltered thoughts and actions, are in big four datacenters.

This knowledge aggregated, mined and filtered, gives the "elites" a pretty good view on what human nature is really all about. And if you do not look on their words, but on their actions, one begins to grasp that hidden in that data, there was something ugly. Humanity is not the idealized version we like to think of ourselves.

There is something in there, that made them abandon all dreams of a good future through technology and embrace totalitarianism without second thought. One actually can see it in those haunted faces. One can see it through there investments and political supports.

They stare at us like we are a monster haunting their nightmares and will collapse into a anarchic butchering frenzy once push comes to shove.

I already can imagine some versions. For example, the journeyman were one visits various "experts" to become a better craftmans - traveling from home to home.

The forming of conference-clusters, were digital nomadic workers meet up at some place by tradition to jam and work on something, like a conference without the conference hall.

I can also imagine community, who specialize in a particular field. Like a suburb, dedicated to database optimization.

Or have some programming group in the park or on a train. If you are free from social constraints and locations- all it takes is good internet.

And committed a genocide in the process, but it was a truely horrific regime they overthrew and they have been in the "debt for uprising" doghouse ever since. Debt of a country should be generational. If its not paid off within a generation (30 years) it withers

But now they focus on accurate bedsheet physics, to attract undead, ghosted investors..

It would be just text, and you could deactivate it on pro-user behaviour detection.

Can we talk for a moment about how horribly well hidden these shortkeys are for normal users? Why not blend in a shortkey-tooltip when dragging a window around normally using the title bar? Make stuff discoverable again?

These consent forms are such a sabotage on the original idea.

The idea being, as far as i remember, you set your preferences once. In a container on your machines under your control.

Then the site and the container negotiate. Either the side is willing to accept your preferences - or it denies showing to you - or presents you a "negotiated" down version. No clicking. No visible banners. No large forms and lawyer legalese.

Just a privacy level setting for the web via standardized API. Europe at least tried but dropped the ball.

The seamless transition into "waged" slavery and the kafala system are not even mentioned? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrant_workers_in_the_Gulf_Co...

This is a scary read for any citizen in a country neighboring russia. This type of propaganda is usually used to prepare the ground for mass murder, like preparing the own population for atrocities to come.

I expect that pcs of developers are excluded from spam harassment to prevent the only group who is capable of backlash and user-defense to engage in user-defense. I conclude that you work with customer & privat person pcs while most of us here do not. Or are just most of the times on mac and nux.

A real bully can not have "friendly", neutral neighbors by nature not matter how much he desires it.

I think that this is the reason why many countries will use the spur of the moment. Russia falling apart that publicly with such a weak leadership, that will become a hot summer allover the border regions.

We triggered this rebellion, by destroying the bread prices, by short sightetly promoting green fuels in a rush.

Similar to mr.putin at the moment is triggering the next wave, by preventing ukraine from producing for the world.

I dont hear you complaining about this matches lighting at the powder keg, so i just assume you do not have the welfare of the people in that region at heart, at all.

And the western interventions did in the end not change a thing. The middle east, is the same as before the interventions, still a stagnant, backwards region, not prepared at all for climate change and what it will bring. All the bright minds leave early and permanent. The despots, that either nature or western power disposes, are replaced with new despots, that align to whoever offers the most, selling the region to the highest bidder.

If anything, western influence is greatly overrated. Iraq was going to dissolve itself anyway after the death of saddam from old age. It was a horrific construct drawn by the british onto the maps and how those lines hold up, can be seen africa.

The only promising democractic candidates in the region, turkey, tunesia and iran are sliding backwards and israel will sooner or later succumb to political barbarism too, cause the cultural enthusiasm of the neighbours for butchering and discriminating one another is catchy.

Some places stuck in the loop, the question of who bombs who at the moment and why is rather irrelevant. Important is that the butchering happens every 2nd generation, to make place for the great genetic lottery that god wills and that god is that we self-optimized for this loop. Super depressing that humanity not given a constant surplus by the environment or science, devolves back into tribal warfare.

So, we officially rolled back on the "capitalism" will reform authoritarians theory?

Do those political science papers and books get retracted?

Do those who propagated this nonsense for years do public apologys?

Will professors who carriers road on this dead horse leave universitys and grants?

Does the end of history have a shelf life?
