So yes, increasing shareholder value is enshrined in US law. Only private corporations can get around that rule.

This is true, with one exception.

There are non-profit corporations. They have to declare that they are non-profit at the time of foundation, though. They have to write that in the statute (idk what it’s called in English, it’s “Satzung” in German).

gandalf_der_12te ,

Well, what we need is some dedicated non-profit company making chips.

Reminds me of “*DN” meaning river as well near the black sea.

Or “*RN” meaning river in western continental europe. That’s why we got Rhone and Rhein.

gandalf_der_12te ,

That’s called “being caught off guard”.

Or maybe she was just messing with him, who knows.

gandalf_der_12te ,

tbh, that’s a fair question. I would have asked them same thing, if only to hope you’d say something like:

“What, no. The horses didn’t die. It was a movie. They pretended to kill them.”

Especially if you’re already emotionally worked up.

Two plates of rice or noodles with vegetables and salmon. Delicious. Actually, highest ROI that you could possibly hope to achieve in the universe.

gandalf_der_12te ,

I imagine it’s similar to marihuana.

If people find out there’s an easy, relaxed life, they don’t work so hard, hurting corporate profits.

gandalf_der_12te ,

They predicted pron would condition men to expect sex on demand and sexual assault rates would skyrocket when in fact the opposite happened.

Reminds me of “computer games turns teenagers into killer machines” saying.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Not really.

Feminism embraces openness in society, including walking your own path.

If that includes deviating from cis male sexuality, then yes, feminism does indeed allow that to happen, if it happens naturally. In other words: feminism does not force you to take part in the toxic masculinity circlejerk.

In that way, yes, feminism probably reduces the amount of “male sexuality” which is basically toxic masculinity in the world. But it does not force that change, instead, it lets it happen.

gandalf_der_12te ,

nooo the muffins 😭😭😭

how could you encrypt them 🥲

gandalf_der_12te ,

noooo 😭

As the saying goes, there’s only two hard problems in IT:

Caching, naming things, and off by one errors.

Honestly, having a declarative package manager is pretty important.

Consider the following: We’ve had the transition from Sys V Init to Systemd recently. But what does it actually mean?

It means, that instead of running a command to start a service, you now flip a switch in a clear, standardized way. The advantage is that you can get a table-like overview over all the services that are currently running. You get an overview, in other words. That is worth a lot because it brings structure and clarity into your system.

Now, with package management it’s the same way. Instead of running a command to install a package, we should instead give a list of all the packages that we want to have installed, and the package manager should take care of making sure that they are installed. That would improve clarity, because you get a list of all the packages that are installed. It might also increase efficiency if you’re installing many packages, because large parts of the work can be done in parallel. And importantly, you get reproducibility. Imagine you just have a file where it names all the packages that should be installed. You can just take that list and copy it to another machine. Now you’ve cloned your package installations. I guess things like Docker, with their docker files, are kinda already going in that direction. But it would be nice to have support for it in the mainline operating systems.

gandalf_der_12te ,

That someone is me.

gandalf_der_12te ,

The problem is that they’re not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.

So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn’t allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there’s that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it’s very limited.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Well, I guess it’s not only that. Psychedelic drugs can really fuck you up, if you aren’t prepared. People talk about set and setting a lot.

I suspect that these drugs sure help a lot of people, but can also fuck a lot of people up really badly. It’s like, people who don’t go along well with these substances, avoid them instinctively.

Now, if someone would prescribe them, I’m pretty sure that a lot of people who are simply not prepared for it mentally (instead blindly trust the medics), would take them and get hurt pretty badly because of that.

gandalf_der_12te ,

preventing access to risky behavior is not their job.

I disagree. Lots of people will listen if you tell them about the dangers of a specific medication, but few will understand. Especially if they have no background in medicine or pharmaceutics.

gandalf_der_12te ,

It’s not just supervision IMO.

I prepared myself for years before I took psilocybin for the first time, because I knew that it’s going to bring up all of the subconscious shit that I carried around. So I “cleaned” myself enough emotionally beforehand, before taking the fungus.

Now, imagine your typical asshole walks into your medical treatment facility and demands psilocybin. Sure, you can give them psilocybin, but you cannot give them the sense of respect and understanding in front of these drugs.

Edit: by “your typical asshole” i mean, the typical asshole that you would encounter daily. Not you personally or sth.

gandalf_der_12te ,

There is this game where you get a million dollars with 99% probability and die a gruesome death with 1% probability if you press a certain button.

What would you do in that case?

IMO, statistics isn’t everything, and one cannot only rely on statistics to make meaningful decisions. Lots of people I know wouldn’t press that button.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Imagine that (hypothetical scenario) MDMA heals 70% of people, doesn’t do anything for 10% of people, but throws 20% of people into mental disturbances.

Would you take it?

gandalf_der_12te ,

Yeah, I guess you have a point.

gandalf_der_12te ,

These greentexts are a treasure trove of ideas. And nobody can convince me otherwise.

Maybe some call it unhinged, but some of it just has that kind of refreshing other-ness.

gandalf_der_12te ,

I agree, there’s two really significant variables to human health:

  • food and drink
  • movement and posture

The rest is less important.

gandalf_der_12te ,

the army food was great

me too. I was with the military for 6 months (it’s obligatory in my country) and the food was delicious. Not just very nutritious and also healthy, but it really filled you, and made you feel good. Much better than what I got at home.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Ja.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Yeah well, it ain’t stupid if it works.

gandalf_der_12te ,

This is excellent. Recognize when batteries make sense, and recognize when oil makes sense.

In this case, oil makes sense.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

gandalf_der_12te ,

AI Training is a flexible energy consumer, meaning it can be switched on and off at will, so that it can take advantage of excess solar power during the daylight, providing extra income to solar panel parks. The important thing to do is to install solar panels, and then AI training isn’t an environmental problem anymore.

gandalf_der_12te ,

tbh if you’re worried about fiat currency, you shouldn’t be investing in crypto currency (which is even more volatile imo) but instead in real, physical assets (such as food and housing).

Then again, i believe that the big problems can only be solved by repairing the society as a whole. Investing in your own wealth, imo, isn’t worth it. But your choice is yours.

gandalf_der_12te ,

I would say that both are interesting proposals to look at. Of course, doing the math and crafting the best approach is work and takes time, and I can’t give many details in a lemmy comment.

Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds (phys.org)

A team of researchers, including Binghamton psychology professor Richard Mattson and graduate student Michael Shaw asked men between the ages of 18–25 to respond to hypothetical sexual hookup situations in which a woman responds passively to a sexual advance, meaning the woman does not express any overt verbal or behavioral...

gandalf_der_12te ,

I ask you to recognize that “women” are as diverse as humanity as a whole.

Saying that all women are equal or want the same stuff, is like saying, all humans want the same stuff. Which just isn’t true. Maybe you should consider that doing statistics like “most women want that” is not going to give you a full picture of the situation.

gandalf_der_12te ,

I totally relate to this. While we’re sharing personal experiences, I’d also share mine (if that’s ok):

I made very very contradictory experiences. Some girls just seem to get angry if you don’t approach them aggressively, some girls will tell you that you’re a rapist if you even dare to look at them for too long. It’s an impossible puzzle. No matter what you do, someone will always complain. That is why I don’t take these things too seriously anymore. As long as no-one gets seriously hurt, lots of things can heal. What’s important is to use your instincts to classify the situation, and act with an “open heart”. Then most things go well, and those that don’t mostly fail because of other, unrelated reasons. Such as pressure from the environment.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Exactly.

Effective feminism is when women make the calls.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Exactly.

Being open and communicating clearly are probably the most attractive features in the world.

gandalf_der_12te ,

Best practice is to communicate before taking action.

It’s the same with building a house. Imagine you put one brick onto another, and only after that draw a plan. Kind of a waste of energy.

Talk first, act second.

gandalf_der_12te ,

aha because it sounds like “births”

gandalf_der_12te ,

big if true

gandalf_der_12te ,

And iirc, the beer was diluted with the local water from the river, to increase its mass while still also making the river water safe(r) to drink.

gandalf_der_12te ,

ok good to know

gandalf_der_12te OP ,

let the chaos reign

gandalf_der_12te OP ,

I agree with you especially on the definition order of functions. I, too, define main() first.

gandalf_der_12te OP ,

you’re on a highway to hell.

gandalf_der_12te ,

There’s a few problems:

  • radiation being higher than on Earth
  • 6 months travel to Mars needs many supplies
  • there’s no construction material in outer space. Therefore, no or few spare parts. Everything that’s lost (think leaks) can only be replenished after 6 months.
  • artificial gravity?
  • has to be self-sustaining and able to develop and grow.
