Low-carbon technologies need far less mining than fossil fuels.
  • And yet 2 centuries ago some people were already thinking, exactly like you, that there was too many humans for the earth to sustain them. You can see how wrong he was. The fact that you refuse to learn from past mistakes is quite telling though.

  • Low-carbon technologies need far less mining than fossil fuels.
  • No nuclear accident has the ability to end life on earth. It is not a possibility.

    And humans in the past would regularly suffer from famine and epidemic, and child death was crazy (as was mother death during birth).

  • The Elite's War on Remote Work Has Nothing to Do with Productivity
  • I still don't trust this theory. There's no evidences that the property owners and the companies that lend those offices are linked together. I've never seen anyone make a link between the two. I've never seen anyone even try to do it or mention it.

    My hypothesis is that middle management and executives is in crisis because of this. Because they can't justify half their salary if they can't be above your shoulder to tell you what to do, and if they can't hold you up in a room for a useless meeting that should have been an email. They are missing the power they have on you. Half their manipulation techniques also rely on body language. They want to see your obedience. And if you're unable to work from home, it justifies anything because suddenly you're like a child in school. They don't trust you either.

    Oh and of course they can much more easily take you hostage to work overtime if you're not already home.

    Sometimes it's an actual lack of experience working with people who are not on site. Sometimes they need the extra time from lunch and coffee break to have actual work done. Sometimes they don't have working tools and process to organise or communicate.

    But I'm convinced that, mostly, it's all about a lack trust and domination. And layoffs obviously, those are a valid reason for a company too.

    Obviously I'm not saying a crisis is not coming. I'm saying that the fight against remote work is unrelated to this crisis.

  • No, a language is not just a language. I fact, it's a bunch of compilers. How many there are and the hardware they work on is what matters.

    And as a matter of fact, rust isn't as much of an industry standard as C++ is.

  • Bees
  • It makes it more dangerous : the sting is attach to the venom bag, so the venom bag gets to empty itself whole if it stays. Evolution would have chosen the survival of the hive, not the survival of the bee.

    One thing is weird though : you can extract the sting of a wasp with a pincer. The wasp will live through it. Why do the bee dies when it loses it's sting and not the wasp?

  • Not all men? Pas vraiment (H-Tône sur l'affaire Mazan des viols en série sur Gisèle Pelicot)
  • "tout les hommes" ne veut pas dire "chaque homme". C'est la distinction entre le groupe et les individus. C'est de la sociologie. Spécifiquement ici, il s'agit du fait qu'il n'y a pas de sociologie spécifique des violeurs en dehors du fait qu'ils sont des hommes. Le fait qu'ils soient des hommes est le seul point commun entre eux.

  • Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?
  • Your mistake is to consider an election is a rational competition. It's not. Not anymore, because medias make it impossible to know the truth. So it is more like a football match. People have the team they support, and for most nothing will change their mind because there's too much propaganda. When almost everything is propaganda, you get to choose the reality you "prefer".

    So the point of the campaign is more about convincing people to vote in order to defeat the opposing team. Or to persuade the other team to concede.

  • 'The Boys' star Valorie Curry asks for 'boundaries' from fans
  • As a matter of fact, satire does not work. Fascists will idolize the fascists in satire, always. It feels like satire only works with people who already have an education about the dangers of fascism.

    In the broken mind of a fascist, satire is actually a kind of utopia. It's how the world is supposed to be in their twisted ideals.
