  • 'There Are No Kings in America': Biden Blasts Supreme Court, Issues Dire Warning After Immunity Ruling

    Jump

  • I deeply disagree with this take. If we actually care about the Constitution and upholding what it stands for, then we have to work to undo the damage caused by this race to the bottom, not participate in it.

  • argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian

    Brilliant. I'm saving this imagery for later.

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto

    Jump

  • Ahh, so... crypto, which is based on crypto, can be used to pay for treatments to crypto.

    Got it.

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto

    Jump

  • Do you mean to say that crypto is based on crypto? Crazy!

  • Because only women are worried about becoming step-parents? (This prolly could've been an Ask Lemmy.)

  • I work at a father son activity centre...

    That's great!

    ...you would be shocked at how few women I see spending time with their own children!

    I'm not at all shocked. Selfish behavior isn't exclusive to men. Women are also deeply flawed humans.

    These are US based and based on separated parents.

    I provided non-anecdotal evidence, and you shit on it? What are your priorities?

    Selectively observing statistics doesn't give a good representation of real life, but shitting on other people for selectively observing statistics doesn't help, either.

  • If you've been alive for more than 30 seconds, it's not just anecdotal. But to appease the challenge, anyways: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-269.pdf There's a massive imbalance between custodial fathers and custodial mothers. Even worse is the imbalance in child support negligence.

    Can we please just admit that there are normal biological/social/economic/perceived/identity differences between men and women? That's not to say all of those differences are good or desirable, or that they are without variation, but can we at least recognize the state of our world without shunning those with different viewpoints?

  • Japan is giving Washington 250 new cherry trees to replace those to be lost in construction work

    Jump

  • Yes, they are, which is why the gifting of cherry trees is such a strong symbol of friendship! Experiencing Sakura is uniquely Japanese.

    The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality; for this reason, sakura are richly symbolic...

  • Japan is giving Washington 250 new cherry trees to replace those to be lost in construction work

    Jump

  • Both kinds of trees have blossoms. Granted, people do call ornamental cherry trees "cherry blossom trees" ... but, technically speaking, a "blossom" is literally the flower of any stonefruit tree.

  • Japan is giving Washington 250 new cherry trees to replace those to be lost in construction work

    Jump

  • cherry trees and cherry blossoms are two different trees

    Do you mean "ornamental" cherry trees and "fruiting" cherry trees? A "cherry blossom" (or "sakura") refers to the flower of a cherry tree, usually of the "ornamental" variety. The article seemed fine to me.

  • Stop using floats

    Jump

  • Audio, like a lot of physical systems, involve logarithmic scales, which is where floating-point shines. Problem is, all the other physical systems, which are not logarithmic, only get to eat the scraps left over by IEEE 754. Floating point is a scam!

  • Feddit.UK has finally kicked the bucket- and what happens next.

    Jump

  • Hard disagree. This is a problem every web service has had to deal with since the beginning of the web: what happens when a host (either the machine or the person) stops working? How do you keep the service up?

    Centralized services solve that problem with internally funded, transparent redundancy. Federation solves the problem with externally funded, highly-visible redundancy. They're still the same solution, just a different way of going about it.

    You could argue that user identity is lost due to the discontinuity between instances, but that's probably something the Lemmy devs could fix without too much hassle.

  • Cooling Paint: How to Make Surfaces Stay Cool in the Sun

    Jump

  • You're right: it's probably not practical to paint a building with the stuff. Nighthawkinlight briefly comments on this. I believe the idea is to use it on passive radiator panels to sink heat from a pumped coolant fluid. That way you can strategically place panels (e.g. on the roof) and control them, just like solar heating panels.

  • Ban private jets to address climate crisis, says Thomas Piketty

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    I feel like the "ban X" trend is extremely lazy. The real problem is that carbon emissions are an externality; the cost of emissions aren't factored into the cost of doing business. It's basic economics. Industry, commerce, and consumers have no reason to account for carbon emissions, and so the overwhelming systemic pressure is to continue business at usual.

    Carbon emissions aren't "immoral" in the same sense that theft or murder are, but they absolutely impose an ecological cost. Outlawing carbon emissions is not only unreasonable and politically impossible, but I would also argue unethical. As much as we altruistically fight to find alternatives, it's likely that several industries vital to our economy will have to continue to emit carbon. The least we can do is compensate society for the shared ecological cost.

  • So, not trying to sympathize with Eich here, where do you get "alt-right" from?
