  • Yes, and he's such a great communicator as well. In those few paragraphs he packs arguments to convince people ranging from idealist liberals to cynical leftists.

  • Is this message sponsored by Philip-Morris International by any chance?

  • Yes, 100%, the Democrats should have been taking turns disrupting until thrown out. Fuck respect for these institutions, it's not like the Republicans are showing them any respect for institutions, with their executive branch constantly breaking laws.

  • Given she freely admitted to shooting a puppy, I wouldn't be surprised if it was her.

  • Nuclear waste is a problem for the most like any other. Given enough investment it can be solved, and no I'm not talking about finding better ways to store it. China has made major advances in this regard, their newest reactors generate waste that is much less long-lived (hundreds rather than tens of thousands of years), and they can reduce the volume of that waste through recycling.

    I'm not saying nuclear waste is not a hard problem to solve, it is and we must be careful as a society to make sure it is managed well. In the meantime, we have a climate catastrophe which is much more pressing. Coal plants, which provide base-load electricity, are a prime target for conversion to nuclear, because their steam turbines can be reused. This could decarbonize a large part of the electricity mix of many countries.

  • I'd like to invoke my 42nd amendment right to not debate fascists and punch them instead.

  • Dems Want to Ban Surveillance Pricing at Big Grocery Stores

    Jump

  • But then how are the Dems' big tech donors going to run grocery stores out of even more business?

  • No that's been banned for a while at this point. They get allocations for components on the car, in the case of the combustion engine 3 for the season.

  • F1 teams 3D print (laser metal sintering more specifically) their pistons these days, so I'd say at the bleeding edge of the tech you can create pretty strong parts. But indeed, anything which a consumer is likely going to be able to afford won't be nearly as strong.

  • America Isn’t Ready for What AI Will Do to Jobs

    Jump

  • But it can be sold as good enough to credulous management, thereby still doing damage by getting people laid off in the short term.

    There's this famous quote about investing which goes: "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". I think that equally holds for the labor market. Just because you and everyone around you knows your job can't be replaced by AI, doesn't mean there won't be an attempt to replace you which lasts long enough for you to lose your house.

  • European alternatives to Visa and Mastercard ‘urgently’ needed, says banking chief

    Jump

  • Those are owned by the major banks, European banks, sure, but still private. Payment systems like these operate like private tax collection, levying a regressive tax on all transactions which flow through them. That's from transaction fees which exceed the cost of processing said transaction.

    I would much rather have a state-owned payment processor, which operates at cost, or is even completely funded by taxes. The extra tax revenue that would generate from increased economic activity would far outweigh its cost.

  • And even if gender or orientation was a choice (not implying that it is), it would be a choice that is infinitely less harmful to the people around you.

  • The volt was awesome for its time (aka. Opel Ampera in the EU). Even with quite a lot of highway driving we got 1L/100km (~235mpg) with it over its lifetime around 2014. That's with charging at home of course, but still, it's at minimum a fivefold reduction in fuel consumption. And that with a 15kWh battery pack, which is a lot smaller than full EVs, making it less resource intensive.
