  • Britain’s High Court says government acted illegally in outlawing protest group Palestine Action

    Jump

  • a very small number of its actions have amounted to terrorist action

    Really? Most I found on their Wiki was beating up some guards during their break-ins. Assault? Sure. But terrorism?

    Oh. Disrupting a computer for a political purpose is terrorism in the UK. Hacktivists and bus bombers, basically the same thing.

  • This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ?

    Jump

  • Revoking drivers licenses would probably be more appropriate than seizing vehicles. The upside to that is revoking licenses, I'd wager, is a whole lot cheaper than installing and monitoring speed trackers.

    So long as the person with the speeding problem is paying for that I guess it's acceptable. But then we have yet another example of people without much money getting a raw deal. Means testing? Everything gets complicated when it gets to the implementation details.

  • We Used To Build Things. What Happened?

    Jump

  • Not much in this article really. Starts out with claiming that progressives didn't like pollution, and thus became anti science. Doesn't elaborate. Drops the thread entirely, and continues with a couple different arguments.

    First that subsidizing demand with constrained supply just increases prices. Fair enough. Second argument is that there are too many veto points in the building/producing pipeline. Probably also fair.

    But that's really the whole Abundance argument, and the article alludes to that book repeatedly. I can't tell if this was supposed to be its own original argument, or just a description of the Abundance arguments. I bet there are better synopses of the Abundance arguments than this article though.

  • Whats something new thats actually good?

  • Are we talking about the Donut Labs battery, or is someone alse promising to bring solid state batteries to market this year? My gut says Donut Labs is like 1/8 odds of coming through.

  • Thermaltake Riing fan controller needs special python software. It worked fine from RPM in Fedora 42, but it hasn't been updated for Fedora 43 yet. Tried installing with pip, and creating a systemd service, but it didn't work immediately, and haven't had time to fuss with it again. Probably just going to get new fans I can control through mobo.

    Was using default Fedora gnome, but it started getting into hibernation loops. Swapped to KDE, but I'm not sure I cleaned up the gnome install perfectly.

  • US | Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines

    Jump

  • Maybe they're betting that the telcos have more money for their legal departments than the FCC does. I wonder though if it's true that a jury can award damages in excess of the requested amount in the case of regulatory fines the same way juries can when deciding civil suits for damages. Maybe.

  • 👽 rule

  • This is what the internet was made for

  • US-based multinational companies will be exempt from global tax deal

    Jump

  • The way I've heard these minimum tax agreements described usually is where all the signatories agree to collect the same minimum corporate tax rate. The article says 15%. The US already has a 21% corp tax rate, setting aside tax incentives.

    So what does it mean in this case to say that US corps are exempt? Does this mean that a US corp homed in the Caymans will pay a different rate than a French company in the Caymans? Or that the US is refusing to collect a minimum 15% after tax incentives?

    I'm sure it's spelled out in the text of the treaty, but maybe someone here has already done the digging.

  • US offers Ukraine 15-year security guarantee as part of peace plan, Zelenskyy says

    Jump

  • Ukraine has been nuked? Or perhaps that's read as "used" as a threat. In any case, the point was that the previous agreements did not provide any defense guarantees.

    And what is article 4 in relation to the UN security council? There have been several security council meetings on Ukraine.

  • I tend to think at some point that was true, that Tesla was about saving the planet and SpaceX was about making humanity multiplanetary.

    It could be he was always a wretched creep and just really good at hiding it, but it seems to me that the wealth and power just ruined him. He wouldn't be the first person to fall in that trap.

    I'll append my confession here.

    I supported Ron Paul once upon a time. The non-interventionism appealed to me in the context of the Iraq war in particular, and the rights-based libertarian philosophy seemed sound. I was young.

  • What words are you already tired of seeing repeated almost on a constant basis?

  • Problematic - it's just so lazy. Makes me doubt whether the speaker has any coherent reason for why they don't like the given thing. Might as well say 'yucky'. It's the kind of word one uses when assuming everyone already agrees with you, and if they don't, well then they're probably problematic too. /rant
