Honestly worshipping the sun the river the mountain and the tree makes so much more sense than the abrahamic religions.

Like why shouldn't the spirit of cats be happy when I feed some cats. Why should the god of the mountain not punish me for littering. It simply makes more sense for your spiritual thoughts or emotions to be grounded in specific phenomenon.

Die Schuldenbremse ist halt ein Mechanismus der dem Staat verbietet handlungsfähig und gut zu seinen Bürgern zu sein, denn im Gegensatz zur Darstellung die man klassischerweise so sieht sind Staatsschulden eine komplett andere Art von Schulden als Privatschulden. Auch ohne die EZB komplett selber zu kontrollieren kann Deutschland ohne Zweifel davon ausgehen das Schulden die jetzt aufgenommen werden durch Inflation über die Zeit die sie zurück gezahlt werden mehr als nur ihre Zinslast eliminieren.

Der springende Punkt ist das Staatsausgaben über das Jahr die Geldmenge erhöhen und das ein Staat der nicht zu viel Inflation haben will diese wieder verringert durch Steuer, somit setzt die Schuldenbremse an der falschen Seite an, sie ist quasi eine Planungsbremse, wenn die nachkorrektur der Geldmenge durch ein festgesetztes Verhältnis zwischen Ausgaben und Steuern möglicherweise sinnvoll wäre, sorgt die Schuldenbremse nur dafür das sinnvolle Ausgaben nicht getätigt werden.

Because shock therapy has been done before, and the west is effectively at war with the result right now. Argentina might not be as bad but it's easy to assume when looking at the history of the policy that it makes everything worse except for foreign and local elites.

The thing is heat from the outside gets moved inside of the house using a heat pump, and to facilitate this movement you need somewhere between 1/2 and 1/4 of the energy you end up moving. E.g. a heat pump with (coefficient of performance) of 4 would move 4kW of heat into your house and use 1kW of electric energy to accomplish this. Gas by comparison moves 4kW of gas to your house and burns it there to get 4kW of heat.

So you could burn a bit more than 1kW of gas in a modern gas electric plant, turn it into electricity and use it to run a heat pump and you would end up emitting less CO2, the real world grid might skew that worse because generally you don't end up burning coal to heat housing but you might still use it for electricity. So generally even though it might be unintuitive the more complicated and lossy way to heat your home (the heat pump powered by fossil powered electricity) , is the more effective one compared to burning the same fossil fuel directly because you use the heat pump to capture heat from the environment.

Die Hymne ist halt trotzdem besser was will man tun.

Uff der Diskurs im Artikel und hier ist irgendwie absurd für mich. Natürlich legt die Datenlage klar dar dass nicht Vegane Ernährung im klaren Konflikt mit dem willen zur Abwendung des Klimawandel steht. Gleichzeitig ist dieses Einzeleden Personen und ihren Entscheidungen ständig zu hinterfragen doch so ungefähr das unproduktivste was man tun kann wenn erwiesenermaßen der Großteil der Einzelpersonen keine signifikante macht haben um z.B. die Nutzung von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen zu verändern, wo ja auch Benecke das Problem materialistisch verankert. Klar Benecke nutzt mit dieser aussage sicher seine Plattform hauptsächlich um etwas Selbstreflektiertheit in seinen Hörern zu fordern. Der Diskurs welcher hier als Reaktion entsteht macht allerdings wieder Individuen für systemische Probleme verantwortlich was mmn. nicht zielführend ist.

Man kann man mit relativ hoher Sicherheit festhalten Nein tut es nicht. Die eine Seite ist normale Steuerhinterziehung :

Lower income countries, which have historically had little to no say on global tax rules, continue to be hit harder by global tax abuse. While most annual tax losses are suffered by higher income countries ($433 billion), these losses are equivalent to 9 per cent of higher income countries public health budgets. Lower incomes countries’ tax losses ($47 billion) are equivalent to half (49 per cent) of their public health budgets. Quelle

Die andere Seite ist die organisierte Kriminalität die ihr großes geld auch nicht da ausgibt wo sie es her hat, sondern auch in großen mengen Wert im globalen Süden entnimmt und ihr gemachtes geld hier ausgibt und anhäuft.

Estimates of the scale of transnational organized crime are difficult to arrive at due to the secretive nature of the activities and under-reporting by victims, but also due to the different, overlapping definitions and indicators used. Nevertheless, the UN has found that an estimated $1.6 trillion, or 2.7 per cent of global GDP, is laundered annually. And according to the World Bank, $1 trillion per year is used to bribe public officials. To put these figures in context, the total official development assistance going to developing countries in 2020 was only $194 billion. This demands a rethink of what today are the main threats to societal well-being and global public goods. Quelle

Es gibt noch hunderte andere Faktoren aber die schiere Größe nur dieser zwei sollten jedem klar vor Augen führen wie viel des Imperialistischen systems weiter lebt, und wo es sich so überall versteckt.

Alles übrigens nur möglich durch Bankgeheimnisse, Steueroasen, und vielschichtig uneinsehbare Firmen und Eignungsformen, welche weiterhin von vielen in UK, USA und EU geduldet bzw. geschützt werden. Spezifisch den Banken und dem Kapital welches von dem ganzen Kram profitiert.

Um etwas mehr substanziellen Inhalt an diesen wichtigen und richtigen Punkt zu hängen.

Accounting and banking.

German and potentially other train stations have smoking areas indicated by a yellow line on the ground, circling the area.

They are frequently completely ignored with some people lighting their cigarette while the train they are exiting is still opening its doors.

Idk if they care about a particular thing FOOS devs are often petty. I don't think it's actually a threat to the project. Like read unix mailing lists from Linus or whoever else, it can get downright toxic. e.g.:

"BULLSHIT. Have you looked at the patches you are talking about? You should have - several of them bear your name. [...] As it is, the patches are COMPLETE AND UTTER GARBAGE. [...] WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON? " here

The Adam smith institute is a right wing free market think tank with likely very questionable donors. wiki It likely doesn't really do research but takes sources that support their preexisting believes and retells them.

Certainly it was at least very hard to make the capitalist exploitation of the worker so all encompassing before the invention of the mechanical watch (Although there was likely a ton of housework and the general situation was garbage what with feudal lords and all that) . It then likely exploded with the industrial revolution and at least in places where the working class managed to emancipate themselves got somewhat cut back. Now especially for countries outside of the west and increasingly also the US and parts of EU it's likely getting worse, especially with multi employment and precarious employment(gig work, semi self employment, 0h contracts, mechanical turk ...).

Generally i feel work where you or your peers get to keep the total output of your work isn't really a problem, it's a problem when your work gets appropriated into this terrible machine and as a result you are alienated from the work.

Probably because trains are limited in both weight and volume compared to ships and also less efficient. If you have this short route and know it'll need this amount of cargo shipped it likely makes sense.

This single ship can carry more containers than any train could be expected to pull, likely by at least one order of magnitude.

All in all I'd guess the advantages are roughly:

• Reduced staff
• reduced energy use (land based shipping is less efficient almost by default)
• no need for infrastructure except ports (if you assume there is no train line or this shipping would move existing lines over capacity building this ship is likely cheaper or at least in line with 300km of rail)
• simpler logistics (loading / unloading)

Disadvantages:

• Speed (a train would likely move at 3-5x the speed)

I would also not expect the risk for catastrophic fires to be all that high. This ship has the batteries be containers. So once you've designed a container that is a large battery, you've already spent so much that a proper BMS including proper battery fire suppression as well as proper breakers/contractors are things you've built into it without even thinking about cost. The separation provided by building containers as the battery is the next line of defence if one container fails spectacularly, it also allows the batteries to be maintained on land, much cheaper than if they were part of the ship.

What you're trying to describe is named public transit not robottaxi, especially the argument that driverless cars will reduce transportation costs doesn't make any sense. It adds complexity to an already incredibly inefficient mode of transport. For road train like trucking on highways maybe it makes sense, for personal transportation on arbitrary streets it just doesn't make any sense.

There is no technology to help aging gracefully, it's in the respect and help of our peers and in our interactions with them, in the structure of our communities... Entering the sterile empty self driving car isn't actually more dignified than being picked up by a real human being. And sitting down in a tram or metro isn't less dignified than being shuttled around by a driverless vehicle.

It's not fuck Progress, it's fuck Cars, just because asbestos or coal power were progress at some point doesn't mean we should embrace them forever, the same goes for cars and self driving changes nothing about that. If cars still rule the world in 100 years we'll be dying even more than we already are.

Because they don't have a perfectly fine business model. They get squeezed hard by both the oligarchs of music publishing UMG, Sony Warner who negotiate the price for the music. And from the other side by the tech giants google and apple who can cross service subsidize their own streaming.There exists essentially no space for them to make any profit in streaming music. So they have to go other places.

The only reason they'll probably exist for the foreseeable future is because the rights holders are able to use Spotify to have more negotiating power against Google and apple.

als "demokratischer" Staat mit einer so offensichtlich überlegenen Militärmaschine anzufangen zu argumentieren das man Kriegsverbrechen ja Kriegsverbrechen entgegenstellen muss. Das war bei den amis in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan genauso ne falsche argumentation wie auch schon immer in Israel. Wir sind halt weiter als die Alt-testaments Auge um Auge Zahn um Zahn regel und Israel sollte das auch sein.

2016 Brexit referendum -> Turkish coup-> trump presidential win

It reinforced all my feelings about what was important in this world and simultaneously made very clear we are actually living in an age of sliding back, not of Progress. I was already very interested in politics by that point but with just about the knowledge to grab the weight but no proper explanation this summer half of 2016 felt like falling into chaos and uncertainty 3 times. In retrospect the outer two likely had much more influence on my life thereafter, but the middle one was the more jarring to watch unfold at the time.

Jup wenn man sich sein Saatgut nicht selber zurück halten darf aufgrund von Lizenzen für Saatgut, und Gefahr läuft verklagt zu werden wenn Pflanzen von benachbarten Feldern zu einem überspringen. Dann hat der ganze Kram schon wieder niemandem geholfen.

Planned economies are actually very efficient, look inside of Walmart and Amazon, and what you'll see is a ton of planning, this planning isn't based on 'a handful of planners', but instead based on a fuckton of data, usually collected and analysed via SAP business planning software. These companies are able to respond to trends and price goods in a way that their profits remain high, and both of these companies at least have some of their supply chains under full control for themselves.

I'm pretty sure we can create this kind of planning and enact control over it for different goals apart from profit, and there are countries where this is already being tried like here
