Is Ground News a Psy-Op?
Reply in thread
The BBC or any other state broadcaster cannot possibly be unbiased, it wouldn't make sense to run stories that damage the institution. The problem is that they claim to be unbiased. RT and Al-Jazeera don't patronise their viewers in this way. RT is obviously a Russian tool, Al-Jazeera represents the gulf states, fine. The BBC won't criticise the royal family and must have tied themselves in knots over the years, sitting on information about Andrew's obviously criminal behaviour, amongst much else.

Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
I would imagine the 10+ demographic has the highest rates of attrition. Those people will have witnessed most of the transition from niche to lowest common denominator. Everyone knows the adage that 100k is the subreddit limit after which the community breaks down. It would happen here too. The discourse here is uncannily like the 2009 Reddit I remember. People are polite and well informed. I hope the localised and open nature of the service keeps it that way.
Prediction: Reddit will become a cesspit of advertising and data harvesting, a la Facebook. It's most of the way there already.

What are the odds that the police take this snub badly and do something petty and vindictive in return?

How is it that we've created a society where scientists are subordinate to lying narcissists and psychopaths?

What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?
Cars produce more harmful airbourne pollutants from their brakes than they do from the tailpipe. Copper is being phased out and the ultimate goal is to abandon friction braking entirely in favour of electrical regeneration.

Just feels like further incentive, to be honest
Switch to tagging transactions as 'real estate fraud', 'financial instrument fraud', 'fake university', 'epstein party fund'
We don't prosecute these things.

Work from home
We have to call their bluff from time to time and remind the management that without us, none of their shit works. When we down tools its not like they can pick them up and get the show back on the road.

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team
Microsoft is cancer but then so much of tech is going that way. We shouldn't lose sight of small victories, this is a good result. The EU is enforcing more openness and transparency in the sector. These are the type of changes we need.

What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?
Drugs. The prohibition of psychedelic substances in particular is looking more like a crime against humanity since we are rediscovering their therapeutic properties in the west (that shaman have known for mellenia).
Discussion on the topic of mental health. Virtually nothing was known about mental health until very recently. We are the first generation that even talks about it. Therapy didn't exist in any practical and organised sense for my mother's generation. If you got PTSD during WWI, it was a death sentence because your own frigging side would shoot you.

The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money
Who would have thought making a chassis out of a material that is denser than mild steel would result in a vehicle that is heavier? It's a truck, horrible aero drag and rolling resistance from the get go. Difficult to imagine a worse target for an EV project.

This got me banned from Reddit Event with u/Spez (Steve Huffman) LOL
Reddit has become Facebook with a different management team. These people are motivated by profit and that's the only way their decisions make any kind of sense. Whenever we mix the profit motive with a service for people, the people will always play second fiddle. It's why mixing profit with healthcare is inhumane and it's what's so great about Wikipedia.

Where does the music go?
I imagine a physicist would invoke entropy to describe the diffusion of pressure waves and vibration into other forms of energy. Neuroscience might explain the propagation of signals from the cochlea into the brain. A psychologist could hypothesise on the influence of music on our mood and ideas. A philosopher might talk about the influence of music on the way we build our society and how that feeds back into our music. In this way, the music never stops, it continues on as echos rippling through through the universe.
