  • consider the implications for a post scarcity future

  • There's a reason why the frequency is exactly 50hz or 60hz, and it's not "at least 50hz or 60hz". You can't just have 55hz on the grid, you'll destroy half a country.

  • Russia carrying out illegal chemical attacks on Ukrainian soldiers

    Jump

  • It's like those Russian policemen arresting that lady who went to red square to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Everyone's a Nazi unless they repeat the propaganda like parrots, and even then...

  • What's the conversation then? If you can't discuss alternative systems, what's the point? Circlejerk? How fun

  • Capitalism: A Short Story

    Jump

  • Ok, then you are equally ok with this, I guess:

  • Capitalism: A Short Story

    Jump

  • Regardless, that has nothing to do with the comic OP posted. Are there, in real-world communist/feudal societies, people that get more on the shoulders of other people's work? If the answer is yes, then the comic does not specifically represent a capitalist society.

    Because this is what the comic represents. It does not represent the welfare system, or lack thereof. It does not show any means of production. It just shows some person getting wealth on the shoulders of another person's work. That's it.

  • Yeah, thankfully I said real-world communism. Utopian communism would indeed be great.

    In feudal society, the noble owns the serfs. The serf cannot move without the noble's consent and is tied to the land in such a manner that, if the noble decides to sell the land, the serf on the land are sold too. They have to work the lands of the noble before their own and have to pay a tax on what they own to the noble. While they own some small tools, like pots, needles, tools for churning butter and other small farming tools, the biggest tools were often owned by the village as they were too expensive for the single farmer. Some other tools were instead illegal to own, a famous example was the grinding stone, which was illegal to own, since you HAD to go to the noble's mill to transform your wheat into flour and then bread. This was because you then had to pay a tax to the miller and a tax to the noble in order to mill your wheat.

    So, in essence, in feudalism a serf did not own their land, did not own their labor and was not even free to move. So much better, right? /s

  • Eh, feudalism too. And real-world communism. And pretty much any society that ever existed on this pale blue dot in space. There are always some in power that live in wealth, and then the rest that live in poverty and get fucked, it's not a feature specifically of capitalism.

  • acceptable screws

  • Nobody calls Allen bolts hexagon either.

    That's not true when working internationally, since it can have different names in different nations. In Italy is Brugola, in Germany Inbus and in other places it has other names. Everyone understands what a hex key is though

  • Tape, probably /s

  • What is something that is completely legal that should be illegal?

    Jump

  • I don't think that's realistic. Even the guy at the local market shouting "get your potatoes here" is technically advertisement.

    What could work instead is to make both the company that advertises and the one that displays the ad liable for the ad itself. If it's inappropriate, contains malware or is in any way malicious, the company displaying it should also be liable for endangering the customers. Also outlaw tracking for advertisement purposes altogether

  • Germany legalises cannabis possession for personal use from April

  • I think the only way would be to get caught with, either more than 25g on you or selling it

  • What Boeing did to all the guys who remember how to build a plane

    Jump

  • Boeing hasn’t built a new plane in a very long time.

    Wait, what? They have created the 787 in the 2000s and the 777X and 737 MAX in the 2010s.

    The issues are not because they didn't have projects, but because those projects were done primarily thinking about costs, time and profits. Do it fast and do it cheap always means do it bad, and this applies to any industry

  • White bolognese on cavatappi with some fresh grated parm

    Jump

  • It would actually be called "white ragù" and it's not usually associated with the city of Bologna like the classic "ragù alla Bolognese". The best white ragù I've had was actually in Tuscany. They have fucking great meat down there (also great wine)

    As for the "sauce" element, it's usually created by the fat released from the pork meat (and the bacon/pancetta). In OP's dish, the issue is that he didn't incorporate the sauce with the pasta, therefore it looks dry and unappetizing. White pasta, when just left there on its own, is pretty bad. It needs to cling on to a sauce (which can be just some olive oil, but it needs something).

    Next time, I'd advise putting it in a pan with the sauce and toss it for a minute or so, then serve.

  • KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

    Jump

  • bit, Nibble, Byte, Word, doubleword, longword, quadword, double-quadword, verylongword, halfword

    They check all Imperial criteria:

    • confusing names
    • some used only in some systems
    • size depends on where you are
    • some may overlap
    • doesn't manage to cover all the possible needs, but do you really need more than 64 bits?
    • would probably cause you to crash a rocket

  • That's still quite a lot. I thought less tbh, at least on your person.

  • Even paper glows

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure this measure was requested either by the government or some big three letter agency.

    I doubt that, if all printers were manufactured by a government monopoly, you wouldn't have this shit baked in. It would probably be way worse

  • Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year running

    Jump

  • IMO is just placebo effect. In a blind experiment, all else being equal, I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between a vinyl and a CD. That's my two cents

  • China blocks use of Intel and AMD chips in government computers

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was saying that China has been open for business, but only at certain political conditions. Now these conditions are changing

    Also, it's usually CCP in the US, CPC in China, PCC in Italy etc. Depends on your language. Same with the old Soviet Union, CCCP in Russia, USSR in US, URSS in Italy and so on. It's an acronym.

  • China blocks use of Intel and AMD chips in government computers

    Jump

  • Except in many cases you cannot sell directly in China, but you need to "partner up" with a Chinese corporation in order to sell there (aka technology transfer). You then need the Chinese government approval and possibly a CCP person on the board
