"Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, said in a letter addressed to Musk on Tuesday that his office has “indications” that groups are spreading misinformation and “violent and terrorist” content on X, and urged the billionaire to respond within a 24-hour period."

Sounds like it's just a strongly worded letter.

You seem to not be enjoying your current situation anyway so I'd vote for a change. We are all very small fish in a big sea when it comes to changing states whereas you can make a big change in your own life.

Switch to sysvinit and you'll understand the benefit of systemd

I feel like if Gnome Shell is crashing enough for this to be a problem then it crashing is the actual problem.

These guys could have just bottled tap water with some standard treatment and would have been fine.

curl?

I think point is without the cast body section you could just replace broken parts which may be significantly less. In practice though I don't think it matters that much. Small accidents hopefully don't damage the frame and if they do it's often a bit dubious repairing it.

Where do they do it otherwise? In Australia it's also yearly.

People might also get bonus so in some sense you get paid once a year.

Don't people switch to using subscribed pretty soon anyway? All is full of junk for me.

What are the inherent contradictions of the system?

It's just using cloudflare. So likely your private data is just temporarily stored on the CloudFlare node in your region and in Germany.

I know a few people working on similar products and crypto mining as absolutely a big problem. Yes CPUs aren't that useful for mining generally but that only applies if you are paying for the costs.

Why wouldn't it? Unless they said to avoid sparkling water for some reason or another.

How thick is your paper?

It's also pretty evident that we could not sustain the current population on preindustrial farming let alone hunter gathering.

There are slot limits that regulate that. This is just a policy to benefit domestic airlines while encouraging flights to airports other than Sydney and Melbourne.

Hadn't read the actual letter. It would be interesting to know what the specific request they have is.

More likely they'd just raise the retirement age then...

Yeah, they use CloudFlare so it would look like that.

More than 2 I think

Your graph only three data points. Lets say hypothetically the traffic was 100m requests/yr and dropped off immediately after the redesigned you'd still expect to see something like

  • 2009 - 100m
  • 2010 - 60m
  • 2011 - 0

This page has some graphs with more data points but the tl;dr is traffic was down by more than 50% within a month.

Admittedly reddit's growth was much more muted but Digg did really just destroy the site.

That's the point

Solar or wind power curtailments isn't necessary a problem. It likely makes sense to overbuild anyway to enough during other times. The political issue is that often incentive for renewable power can be tied to generation and it's ot always about offering carbon emissions i.e. incentivising solar or wind to be built where it is relatively useless.

In one sense this may be killer because even if it does improve people's first experience will impact them ever going back

They say "barely lacks any features" which I think they mean it's full featured. I feel like Transmission and rTorrent are good clients for their niche though.

I don't think necessarily have a few large instances is problematic. It's fine as long as people can move to other instances, the issue would be if those instances leverage their size to force incompatibilities or defederation.

Your graphs are actually consistent with Digg traffic dropping off a cliff immediately after the redesign. My memory is hazy but according to this a week after the release they replaced the CEO and two months later they layed off 37% of staff.

The point is though it can travel on the ground to the airport.

That also says 50%? Also seems to be quoting musk too.

Supposedly lemmy.ml was a paid domain which is why it's still around but there's not much information on it. The whole thing seems like a shit show though.

Congrats, great DE choice too

Pretty sure they were gunning for insurance fraud.

A socialist society would be better for the environment because all the people would starve /s

No one is going to flip to your position in a simple argument. If you disagree with them youll need to understand why. Start trying to find out about their position rather than evangelizing yours. If you do that they might open up doubts about theirs.

The dependency system takes a bit to understand but compared to like upstart it was a massive improvement.

Use a bot account to post if you are worried

You can still build one. I still can’t – in any reasonable way – poach whichever oil rig workers you choose to underpay.

Lets breakdown what those costs are though.

  1. Some portion is paid to workers to construct the oil rig.
  2. Some may be paid to the government as part of a lease agreement generally to compensate the public for your exclusive use of the well.
  3. Some is paid to previous suppliers.

3 is really a combination of 1 & 2 so lets exclude that. For 2 we could have a government that takes this money later. Often this is the case for a lot of these deals. A lease you can pay later and royalties are paid when you actually produce product. That really just leaves 3. If you were able to compel these workers to work for you without compensation then this "How does capitalism empower people to own what they produce?"wouldn't be true so you'd have to offer some compensation but that compensation could be equity in the form of a workers cooperative.

Is it more difficult for you to compete, sure but that's like saying it's more difficult for me to be an artist. I think we should be talking about where we are stepping on the scales for one or another.

United States tax dollars, in the form of DARPA grants, paid for the development of the internet. So there is precedent for extremely expensive operations to be successfully carried out under democratic control

You could government fund everything if you want. It's usually quite beneficial in things you suggest which are early stage how it would be commercial viable is pretty uncertain. But there are trade offs.

  • In market economies you may need to raise the money with debt. If you are an oil producing economy and suddenly the oil price drops you may no longer be able to pay those debts. If you instead lease it to a private company which you then collect royalties or taxes from you don't have to take that risk. You could fund it with taxes however that limits your growth if you are a smaller economy.
  • With the right incentives companies will compete if you have just a single nationalised producer where bureaucrats don't the same level of incentive as owners they likely will run it less efficient. There is obviously the case though that often private companies push for regulations that limit competition and try to reduce their costs for externalities they impose on others.

Also, since oil deposits are a natural resource, one could argue government ought to be involved in their collection.

I think it's correct to say government should be collecting revenue from the natural resource but I don't think they need to specifically be the ones running it.

I should clarify I think capitalism is great but doesn't mean our implementation is perfect (and an example is privately owned land).

If Google wanted to push it with only 5% of their userbase wouldn't they be saying goodbye to 95% of their users. I don't think even Google is that insane.

You have a point but how much cash are we talking about? If you have $10k-$20k sitting around in a chequing account that's only $200-$400 you are losing to inflation. Things like the earned income tax credit would give you back like $500-$8000. They may not seem super related but in general it's easier to compensate those lower income folks for inflation than trying to change the inflation target.
