Projectiboga commented on Lightning declines over shipping lanes following regulation of sulfur emissions   theconversation.com/the-w... · Posted by u/lentoutcry

I wonder if this has implications for geo-engineering projects that want to inject sulfur into the atmosphere. More lightning seems like a problematic side effect.

Doesn't lightning help make ozone? And lightining does help make hydroxyl ions, which help convert airisol methane.

Single payer would allow all outcomes to be evaluated in total per year, so we could see better which things work and not, and what are the best return on spending. Big medicine doesn't want that, nor an FDA that has to consider budget implications of approvals. The ways single payer would help is by reducing friction in getting care, much less time with any approvals. And everyone would need less liability coverage if health costs are covered. That can lower automobile, business and other liability insurances. Everywhere else does it for less of a share of their own GDPs.

They've pulled out of my market (Australia) 6 years ago, so that's not really an option, even if I imported one.

If I imported one, the majority of the handsets released before this year wouldn't be able to register on a network, given that the networks have gone and blocked the IMEI TAC associated with most of Sony's handsets.[1]

This is due to Sony not having the correct carrier settings in order to roam onto them for emergency calls, and a ham-fisted direction to have working emergency calls post-3G shutdown.

I loved the early Sony Ericsson but they lost their way on the phones. And the funky camera phones when their stand alone phones are decent to cutting edge.

*lying around

Laying is transitive and requires an object.

> The connotation of a non-profit is that it's being audited.

This is very geography-specific. In the US, 501(c)(3)s (what most people think of when they say "non-profit" where I am) have no general requirement for audits. There's also plenty of non-profit-by-some-definition organizations that never file a Form 1023, giving up some benefits of the 501(c)(3) regulations but in exchange being even less regulated.

The entities are regulated at the state level in the usa, with the responsibility to comply with both state and federal tax authorities.

Yeah you may not want that - Musk’s plan to get to mars involves, not necessarily _intentionally_ but with no attempt to avoid, ruining the earth for everyone else. He and his billionaire friends that want to colonize space have said they intend to do it by any means necessary, including by walking on the backs of us poors, if it means their progeny can outlast the rest of earth.

Mars' gravity is 0.39 of Earth's. I don't understand how anyone thinks that can support a permanant colony of humans.

  > they catch more edge case bugs like "Hebrew is rendered backwards" and so on.
I love when my core use case, show stopping bug is considered an edge case. ))

In any case, there are more native speakers of right-to-left languages then there are native English speakers.

I can't imagine what it would have been like to grow up with horse and carriages only to see us landing on the moon before you die. That's some serious societal whiplash.

I do like to imagine future generations looking back on the era of the internal combustion engines with absolute horror.

"You won't believe this, but for like 200 years, any time a person wanted a machine to move stuff, those apes would carry around tens of gallons of some crazy toxic combustible fluid which they'd spray into a heavy block of metal then bung 20,000 volts of electricity through it to make it explode. Just to spin a wheel! Then they'd pump the poisonous fumes out from the rear of the machine like a cloud of evil flatulence. Into the same air they breathed! There were literally billions of these machines all over the planet. Everyone owned one! There was so much of it, the planet started getting hotter! It was crazy!!"

Tech changed at a much faster and drastic pace then compared to now. Another example the first ever nightclub opened and ran from the early 1870s until 1910. The Haymarket Historical Marker https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=121028

If this is your cup of tea, it's worth reading about the Astor Place riots over Shakespeare performances in NYC
Projectiboga · 13 days ago
I was about to comment on this, Astor Place Riot - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astor_Place_Riot

Basically two seperate Theatre movements, one favored by the posh thr other favored by the working class. The two scenes came to an actual riot on Astor Place and lead to the wealthy retreating from class mixing.

FWIW I would consider nobody other than me having access to a key to my apartment a feature!

That’s nuts though. Imagine a locksmith not being able to pick a lock. Like… you have one job?!

Some locks are much harder to pick.
