So some time between 1975 and 2000. If only the graphs had some labels near the relevant part of the data…

This is exactly the messaging of the oil companies and others who oppose climate action now that it’s too hard to deny. They want us to think it’s hopeless and give up trying to change anything. It’s not too late. Green energy is growing exponentially and has been possibly the fastest technological adoption in history. Millions of people are working on the science and technology to solve these problems. We just need some more collective action at the local and national levels. Carbon taxes, funding for green initiatives, local agriculture, and support for alternative transportation like e-bikes or other PEVs to start

All the management staff at Nijisanji. They’re hiring minimum wage, fresh out of school kids for legal work, project management, translation, talent management… Needless to say, it’s apparently hell for the talents

I’m not really sure it was just semantics. He was technically correct the light would get some power right away, but the thing everyone would understand when hearing the main assertion, i.e. the light is fully lit and the circuit is in its relatively steady, final state, is very much not true.

Yes, you’re not wrong. I think massive inequality is an issue in general.

You can try to artificially restrict the prices by limiting access, and maybe you’ll have some success, but as long as there are people out there who are willing to pay more for the tickets, you’re going to be fighting against the market. There’s always going to be someone who finds a way to take advantage. And lowering the prices artificially is directly contrary to the interests of every party involved in creating the show. Maybe the artist is happy with what they make and want to increase access to their show, but the venue, the crew, the label, and the ticket sellers are all going to want to make more if possible.

As I mentioned, the fact that you have scalpers selling for profit on basically every show implies the prices are already artificially low. The way I see it, the only true solution to this issue is fixing the inequality that allows some people to massively out-compete others on price. You can’t really make it cheaper by addressing scarcity in this specific scenario. Only so many people can see the popular artist live. Maybe better simulations of a live show could help. Taylor Swift is doing that to some extent with the theater version.

I mean, people are paying for it, right? That’s like the most basic principle of economics. You raise the price to the level the market will bear. It’s not like these are necessities. They’re limited availability entertainment events. Actually, the existence of scalpers who resell for profit implies the price could even be higher.

The part where this becomes a problem is the income inequality among the people who want to go. If everyone had the same income, it would be a matter of who values the show the most. As it is, a lot of people who get to go are a little richer and don’t care about the cost, while some real fans just don’t have the option to go.

Also, they recently discovered a written record from a crew that was transporting some of the stone by boat using artificial waterways that were dug near Giza and filled during the yearly flood of the Nile.

The comment above claimed one of two options to comply with GDPR was to block Europeans with no other conditions. Is there additional language in there to mandate that sites that block Europeans cannot collect data about them from other sources as well? If so, the previous comment isn’t accurate

Yes, blocking all of Europe is what I meant. The point is they are collecting the data from Steam, which already has the data legitimately, not from the users directly. One of the two conditions for complying with GDPR according to the comment above was simply blocking Europeans with no other conditions. It sounds like as long as they do that, they can collect and distribute all the data about Europeans they want.

So theoretically they could collect data on Europeans from Steam, block those people from accessing the site, and they would be good?

Like that’s going to stop me

Sounds like Steam may be allowing refunds for this. Worth a try

Theoretically, anyway

I’m like 90% sure that post was AI generated

And apparently anything can be made up if you just pretend it didn’t happen

Weird, last I checked Ukraine was involved in a war against Donbas since 2014 as even western media reported at the time.

It’s almost like Russia has expressed its desire to annex Ukraine for over a decade now and has been sending disguised military units to create a “resistance” to fabricate a justification for “liberating” parts of Ukraine into Russian territory. Weird… It’s not like they explicitly gave that as one of the 20 conflicting reasons for this invasion or anything

So basically, a country that is invaded has the option to either roll over and be destroyed or fight back and become “illegitimate” and should be destroyed anyway? Basically an invader has free rein to do destroy any country they feel like? That’s some nice victim blaming there. Incredibly abusive thinking.

He would still own a massive share of the stock

A few for me:

• Automatically updating entries with app or URL information if they didn’t match and you had to manually search for them. You have to copy the URL, leave the browser, open the app, search for the entry again, and manually add the URL in the current version.
• Better defaults in the app like which group you log in to or which collection new entries are added to. Keeping all your entries added to a shared collection is a constant chore right now.
• Better keyboard functionality. It’s basically impossible to navigate with a keyboard on PC right now. Keepass has a global auto type hotkey which made it so you hardly even had to open the app.
