Why would a sponsor pay for an ad if they know nobody will watch? Its not magic money out of nowhere; the sponsor has to come out net positive or else they stop sponsoring.

Do you think that might have something to do with why he’s portrayed as a clown?

It’s owned and populated by history and science/engineering YouTubers, so if you’re not usually watching that side of YouTube, you might not find much on Nebula for you.

Name an industry where a private corporation competes with a local government monopoly?

I respectfully submit that the US should send tutors to teach English to our wayward Anglophone brothers.

Denver seems pretty big… how much bigger were you wanting?

lol, I wonder how they staff “70-ish pizzerias per person”. That’s one hell of a short-staffed environment! 1/70th of an employee per shop!

I’m not sure ksp is popular/broad-based enough to generate much of an uproar. I’m unhappy about it, but most people just see another headline.

Who wrote this? I’m supposed to be upset that a bunch of big websites are lower on Google results? Why should anyone besides their shareholders care?

Edit: Oh, he co-founded the website hosting this article. So he does indeed have a vested personal interest.

So… why are the guards not being arrested for child endangerment? Why is this a lawsuit and not a criminal matter?

Gave me a chuckle to see “have kids, move away, go to prison, and die” listed as a typical life trajectory.

Ex-Tesla employee reveals shocking details on worker conditions: 'You get fired on the spot.' (www.livemint.com)

Ex-Tesla employee reveals shocking details on worker conditions: ‘You get fired on the spot.’::Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s ‘ultra hardcore’ work culture is revealed to have led to long hours, unsafe conditions, and harassment for employees.

This example was provided as an estimated upper limit - you could drive to basically the furthest-away big city within 60 hours. Other cities would be substantially less than that, because that’s an upper limit.

Driving from a small town on the western tip of NC… let’s say Franklin, NC, to Washington DC takes only 8 hours… but driving to Knoxville, TN or Atlanta, GA would only take you 2 hours.

If that drive takes you “days” by car, you might have an issue.

You don’t recognize the ruling party on the Chinese mainland? What is this, Taiwan?

Do you even hear yourself?

“I’m concerned that there’s gonna be a lot of Nazi stuff on here.” “Step off with your advertiser friendly BS”

mlc894 ,

That is one thing that strikes me. Whenever I look at All, I mostly see bad memes and political “hot takes”. I guess it’s good for engagement, but it’s nothing I’d recommend to anyone yet.

mlc894 ,

The problem with that approach depends on the issue we’re talking about. To continue picking on the Nazis: allowing them to “just ask questions” for example is a great way to allow them to spread their ideology in a way that thoughtful moderation could prevent.

mlc894 ,

That’s nonsense - bad ideologies take hold in “normal” people all the time! I’m sure we all have that one uncle who was taken in by all the Q-anon talk, or that one friend who ended up joining a cult.

mlc894 ,

If your solution to this is “therefore all other nations should just sit by and let my nation take whatever land we want” then maybe labeling you as guilty isn’t so far off.

mlc894 ,

I mean… if nobody wants to do a job for the pay allotted, then the pay is by definition too low. You can make other changes that bring the acceptable pay range down (make kids not be assholes or something idk) but in the end it’s always about the pay at the end of the day.

mlc894 ,

Oh, it’s a publicly-funded position? Then the drivers ought to work for free, right? Why, it’s practically welfare if the taxpayer is footing the bill! (/s I hope is obvious)

mlc894 ,

Dude, kids are gonna be bullied literally no matter what. Sometimes for no reason at all! It’s the parents’ job to help the kids deal with it in a healthy way. I don’t see why you’re pretending they would be “martyrs” any more than I was a “martyr” for my right to… have a few more freckles than the other kids.

mlc894 ,

I could see those things, except what’s wrong with my shoes? I’ve never heard anything like that before.

mlc894 ,

Doesn’t “pollution” refer to material that is released into the environment? We could make an argument about uranium mining being polluting (because it is), but operating a nuclear plant does not create pollution during operation.

mlc894 ,

Thank god for this comment! Reading these comments is like: “Genocide is good sometimes” “People have too many rights” “We should stop trying to make this better” “Man, this Pokémon game is good!”

mlc894 ,

Because the penalty for being rude shouldn’t be starvation, probably.

mlc894 ,

Honestly once I realized Factorio works there really just isn’t time for anything else!

mlc894 ,

Oh no, did Dream do something?

mlc894 ,

You’re probably referring to methanol fires! Commonly used as a fuel for things like F1 cars, iirc.

The oxygen atom in a water molecule has an oxidation number of -2 (which is as reduced as it can get in common compounds you’re likely to find, and it has no reason to react further). In hydrogen peroxide, the oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -1, so not quite as reduced as oxygen would rather be (which is why H2O2 is gonna oxidize whatever is around it. Those oxygen atoms are gonna get those sweet, sweet electrons one way or the other by god!)

The hydrogen atoms are identical between H2O and H2O2; that’s not where the magic happens, so to speak.

Hey, free news content sans paywall and an app that does only what it says on the tin. What’s not to like?

It’s in response to a quote from the article, “If the CEO - Scott Kirby’s parents were on that plane, would he have done something?” said Ieronimo.

This isn’t YouTube Premium; this is YouTube TV which is an entirely different product. YouTube Premium is like $13/mo. and cheaper for students.

'Limitless' energy: how floating solar panels near the equator could power future population hotspots (theconversation.com)

Anytime one of these big projects has something offshore, I have to wonder whether it wouldn’t be more likely to be adopted if it were on land instead, if possible. Everything. EVERYTHING is more expensive when you’re putting it in the middle of miles of salt water.

mlc894 ,

I wonder if the foundation of the house would be convenient for this… that much concrete is equivalent to a cube of side length around 10 feet, which seems to at least be in the ballpark for the total amount of concrete in a foundation. I think?

mlc894 ,

Same thing when the “hot” feed shows dozens of threads with zero comments. Idk what hot means in this context, evidently.

mlc894 ,

People have only had luck with me when they’ve spoken English. Otherwise it’s hard for me to understand their answers to such questions as “your place or mine?” or “dear god what are you gonna do with that spatula?!”.

mlc894 ,

I don’t understand - is this not how it’s meant to work? Ten functionally-identical communities get ten identical posts, and unless you block nine of the communities you’ll see the same exact stuff ten times? I’ve been blocking communities left and right… have I been doing it wrong?

Is there something specific about Niagara Falls that appeals to Muslims?

We’re visiting Niagara Falls (highly recommended, by the way) and there are far, far more Muslims here than I have ever seen at any other tourist spot I’ve been to. There are also a ton of Middle Eastern and South Asian restaurants and that’s who seems to own a lot of other businesses here too....

mlc894 ,

They’re just tourists and people who live there, nothing more to it. You might as well ask, “is there some significance of waterfalls to Americans? I see a lot of Americans coming here from far away.”

mlc894 ,

I’m not calling it stupid, I’m just providing context for an equivalent question to help illustrate my answer.

Starlink has become the 'blood' of Ukraine's communication infrastructure, but officials are reportedly growing concerned about relying on Elon Musk's tech (www.businessinsider.com)

Ukraine’s digital minister has reported concerns about the country’s overreliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system amid the war with Russia, The New York Times reports.

mlc894 ,

I’d be concerned too.

Easier public transit between me and my workplace. My workplace is in a major city, but I live a 30 minute drive away and there’s no public transit connection available.

mlc894 ,

That does kinda worry me. If I’m on a road trip, I don’t want to wait while the guy ahead of me stretches his legs and grabs a bite to eat before I can even start charging.

“The Blood Moon rises again”

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

mlc894 ,

I mostly use the swipe method on my iPhone, yep

The US and Canada haven’t only had borders with friendly countries for centuries. Even as recently as the 19th century, the US was frequently at war either with Canada and the UK, Mexico, or the native Americans in the modern-day Midwest and western US.

mlc894 ,

Is it for “index” or “iterator”?

mlc894 ,

I don’t understand what “Hot” sorts by. When I use that setting, I see a bunch of threads from a few minutes ago with no comments yet. How is that “hot”?
