Why do you think that is true? The only violence from people unhappy with a presidential election that I can think of is the MAGA insurrection in 2021.
In Holland we have wooncorporaties, which are non-profit companies that own apartments and rent them out. They are cheap, and usually there is a maximum income for tenants. There is a waiting list, and a lot of people add their names as soon as they turn 18.
The Dutch housing market is fucked, but these are good, and would not be possible if you restricted them to a single apartment.
Me too! I remember mansplaining to my girlfriend at the time how long it would take to visit a page and download images, and how nobody would wait that long to see pictures of cats. I underestimated how much people really want to see cat photos.
You can make a PR against your feature branch and have that reviewed. Then the final PR against your man branch is indeed huge, but all the changes have already been reviewed, so it’s just LGTM and merge that bad boy!
I suppose it is possible to have two PR that have changes that depend on each other. In general this just requires refactoring… typically making a third PR removing the circular dependency.
It sounds like your policy is to keep PR around a long time, maybe? Generally we try to have ours merged within a few days, before bitrot sets in.
Poland uses coal to produce most of their electricity, unlike the rest of Europe. They don’t have a lot of coast for wind, they are northern and don’t get much sun for solar, they don’t have nuclear plants, and they were avoiding Russian gas for ages. Plus they have had right-wing governments for ages, who don’t care about pollution or global warming.
The purpose of the UN is so that nuclear powers have a forum to talk, instead of, you know, ending all human life on the planet.
Everything else is just sort of stuff that came along once you had all the countries of the world sitting around realizing that they should do something once they’re in the same room.
Current metrics of the economy will show that it tanks. But we have known for ages that these metrics are at best wrong and at worst devastating to the planet and people on it - since leaders and policy-makers use them to allocate resources in ways that show up-and-to-the-right graphs.
It first occurred to me when hearing about Japan’s “lost decade”. Japan is by no means perfect, but when you visit you find a place where people have their material and social needs taken care of. If you read economists though you would think that the country was doomed.
Similarly after the housing bubble burst we had job losses and other problems in Holland the same as in other places. But looking at the metrics of wealth per capita, we basically were back in the same place as less than a decade before. Was life so horrible in 2004 that this was a huge tragedy? If you are insisting on constant improvement by some arbitrary measurement, then yes.
For me the biggest example was COVID-19. We showed that if it was important that we could have a way of life with drastically less environmental impact to the planet. We surely don’t want to live exactly like that, but we could make radical changes to have a better world for ourselves and our children (yes, even with drastically lower birthrates there will still be people on the future earth).
Luckily there are rebels in economics fighting against the orthodoxy. If you want to feel a bit of hope (mixed with a large dose of pragmatism) you can check out the Economics for Rebels podcast.
The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.
Making soap in Dwarf Fortress is difficult, but by no means impossible. No need for your citizens to have unhappy thoughts - or worse get infected wounds - because they can’t clean!
I mean, I guess it depends on what you mean by “directly detect”. We measure neutrinos by having photoreceptors in huge tanks of very pure water deep under old salt mines… which hardly seems more direct than looking at where galaxies and stars are moving and calculating the gravitational pull and noticing that something is missing…
IIRC Osama bin Laden had three reasons for 9/11. One was non-Muslim soldiers in Saudi Arabia (he was salty because Kuwait asked the US for aid against Iraq and not the Taliban). The other was Israel. I don’t recall the third off the top of my head.
While I understand and agree with a lot of what you say, the idea that you can just go somewhere else doesn’t fly. The same argument can be used to justify shops without handicapped accessible doorways, or restaurants where smoking is allowed. After all, you can just go somewhere else…
There are definitely non copyrighted videos! Both old videos (all still black and white I think) and also things released into the public domain by copyright holders.
But for sure that’s a very small subset of videos.

Slaves can also be owned by the state, rather than individuals. Weirdly some empires had slave armies, for example. In other cases slaves have significant rights, including their own property; Roman slaves could save money and buy their own freedom (although many slaves were worked to death in mines, or used for sex, so it was definitely still shit). In some cultures children of slaves were free (technically, although still starting from a terrible position). There was also indentured servitude, where you agreed to be a slave for a limited time period - a lot of people came to the Americas for free, but were slaves for a few years in exchange (before Europeans started buying chattel slaves from Africa, which gave better return on their investment, as long as you didn’t mind being evil).
