So they’re just going to use GitHub as a code training dataset? Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Just make it an official extension ffs…

For that, first you need to solve a major problem posed by globalized capital to any government (also salary/regulatory arbitrage and bribes), which is, you need to get the stuff that they stashed away in a tax haven or even in a hostile country.

🎉 Congrats!🥳 You finally made it to 1Bn credits, do you want to make any charitable donations? No? Then right this way, we have a huge reception prepared for you, sir: 🔪

Like the ascension of the Sonmis (in Cloud Atlas)

True, that’s actually better: heavy taxation and redistribution to services, grants to small businesses, UBI :)

Make bankers boring and frugal again.

We need a mechanism like this to punish billionaires who get too uppity in liberal democracies or corporations that get too big (but well set up that it can’t be abused by corrupt power-hungry politicians).

e.g. first step: end citizens united in the USA, more transparent lobbying in the EU.

Lula won with 50.5%. That is how close they were to being enslaved again. It is not easy.

Why is the EU always blamed for everything? This is how you got brexit. Trade policy and negotiations included all of the inputs of the EU members’ leaders. The problem is that they are split. Some are trump fans (Italy, Hungary), some can’t imagine life without murica (Germany, Poland, Baltics, probably), some want more autonomy (France, Spain). This is merely a fragile compromise.

Oh look, the tech companies sent a shit eating emissary to tell us how to live our lives so as to exploit us better…

I’m an LLM freegan, I guess. But I’m cutting back too, the usefulness peaked.

Finally something the EU can invest those 600 billion in. Or buy it, like lots of EU startups were by FAANG companies years ago. Tramp says it’s dead tech, so it’s ok.

The part that controls/balances the discharge profiles, right? Because sodium batteries have a more non-linear discharge pattern.

Yeah, the brine is where various useful ions can be further extracted from. https://news.mit.edu/2019/brine-desalianation-waste-sodium-hydroxide-0213

Pumped hydro?

I love this too, I just hope they don’t use too much Phosphorous, because those reserves are limited too, maybe there are alternative designs once this gets going.

I’ve noticed more debatelords (only in large communities, like c/technology), not sure they will stay if we don’t feed them and the more debatelordy instances just simply ban them.

I have another question: why do some eras seem to be so free for technology to evolve and open to new entrants to create their designs and mods and why do other eras feel like traps set by investors and enclosures for consumers? The 80s/90s felt great for technology, but today it feels like they all want to take anyone’s capacity to do anything beyond being a dumb paying consumer away…like they’re covering all possible outcomes to come out enslaving everyone. Why didn’t they do that in the 80s/90s? Am I looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses?

Nice strawman.

Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

I would say they aren’t as bad as alcohol and gambling, which are pervasive…some of them are just…art…some aren’t :D I could ask you the same about lots of other things, from music to literature. I just don’t like book burning. If someone put their effort into creating something that they thought was worth creating, why is it up to anyone to ban it for any adult that wants to see it?
