  • I think my sticking point is that it's not 30 of your coins, necessarily. This is probably where I'm going wrong, but I might only have 100 coins, but there's a multitude of people that have 1,000 coins, and some still that have 10,000 coins.

    I feel like I'm muddling up production/living standards and just plain wealth, but not every individual would need to give 30%. There would be a total amount equaling 30% that is re-allocated.

  • sigh

  • That is not my interpretation on the paper. It's not taking 30% and spreading it. It's we only ever needed to be making 30% of our total being reasonably distributed for everyone to reach those standards.

    "Provisioning decent living standards (DLS) for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use, leaving a substantial surplus for additional consumption, public luxury, scientific advancement, and other social investments."

  • sigh

  • That is definitely not what is presented in what you quoted.

    Out of our current productive capabilities (how much money is "created" if you want), we would only need 30% of it to get 8.5 billion people to a "decent living standard".

    That isnt a 30% reduction, it's only needing to make 30% of what we already are doing.

  • How to use a domain I own to self-host services?

  • How would you go about using a different subdomain without something like a reverse proxy? Heck, in my head that's almost the only reason I use a reverse proxy

  • Freed from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil files $20 million claim against Trump administration

    Jump

  • Just because I'm curious, is the fact that this is a "risky gamble" concerning to you? Or that a lawsuit such as this is expected to be drawn out, likely putting a large deterrent on less affluent victims from seeking justice?

  • What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol

    Jump

  • In regards to your apple mouse example, surely it's relevant to know how long the charging process is. The hangups I would have are when the interruption happens, how quickly is it resolved, similar to your points about the firmware on the grill.

    If it takes 30 seconds to recharge to a point of usability, fine, no real harm. But if it takes 10-20 minutes to get to a usable state, then we have an issue.

    A related scenario is if the Nintendo switch drains completely of battery; even plugging it into a dock and trying to play docked, you still have to wait upwards of 20 minutes to give it enough juice to boot back up.

  • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

    Jump

  • By the looks of it, it's 30% to NYC, 30% to Texas, and 30% to California. So 10% for literally everywhere else in the US. That's gotta be close, right?

  • TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claim

    Jump

  • Addendum:

    They were too young and a bunch were sick, they were forced to get older puppies, who then also got sick.

    They fucked up, got told they fucked up, then fucked up again.

  • Poll suggests half of Canadians believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

    Jump

  • I got that same impression. Like this isn't a matter of belief, it's whether or not people are rejecting facts.

  • Drinking [Mr Lovenstein]

    Jump

  • 10k hours of actual drinking fluids seems pretty absurd, to be honest. Like I'll throw out random numbers of 30 seconds to drink 8 oz of water. That means to make 10k hours you'd have drank 9.6 million oz of fluids.

    That's 75k gallons. That seems a bit excessive.

  • Sweet little bat

    Jump

  • I would wager that bat species has been around longer than jelly donuts.

    Someone just really wanted to snack on that bat

    Do you take the deal: Musk admits he rigged the election and provides proof in exchange for a pardon from the next Democratic president.

    Jump

  • Hm. I'd be interested in seeing anything backing that up. You've just broadly stated that "ineffective" tax policies don't work well, and I feel that is sorta in the name. Is there any line of reasoning that would make "wealth taxes" ineffective?

  • I don't know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of "other" repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I'm not smart enough to know about.

    Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?

    EDIT: I'm realizing that I didn't really clarify the distinction of "should" vs "does". I recognize that a huge amount of right to repair bullshit comes from companies being intentionally obtuse/greedy. What I meant to question was whether these restrictions on serviceability actually have merit, or if it's strictly enshittification being brought into the auto world.

  • If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first?

    Jump

  • I thought being religiously motivated also would qualify as a hate crime? Or is the implication that one's religion is also immutable?

  • A Teacher Dragged a 6-Year-Old With Autism by His Ankle. Federal Civil Rights Officials Might Not Do Anything.

    Jump

  • Truthfully, it's far from relevant that the kid is autistic.

    If you drag a child by the ankle, especially as a teacher, you're a 100% piece of shit.

  • My game was sorta the opposite. After letting my mind wander for an undetermined amount of time, I would try and backtrack as far back as I could. I didn't usually make it back more than a few steps, but finding that "first" thought was always satisfying.
