…because most don’t study the rise and causes of what happened. They only study the result. “Never again” refers to the holocaust, but nobody puts that sign on the the road that led to it.
With populations scared and desperate, they’ll latch on to any demigogue that appears.
I think the only positive that may come out of all this conflict is the decimation of oil and gas infrastructure in Russia and the Middle-East. It’s already forced Europe to transition away from natural gas faster.
It’s not going to do anything for emissions in the short term, because oil vats going up in smoke isn’t exactly green, but with any luck countries will need to find alternatives before capacity can be built back.
Russia. The country that’s facing a very cold winter with its limited oil supplies?
I feel like Nix is a good deployment platform, whereas Arch is a good development platform.
£22bn to literally sweep the problem under the carpet, allowing the oil and gas industry to continue.
What’s the opportunity cost of this? What could that money have built instead?
Somebody set the fuse incorrectly. Years Vs seconds - who cares about the difference.
More concerning, there’s been aircraft landing on this thing for 80 years.
What an odd thing to be obsessed about.
For those that can’t believe it’s not a racial slur.
Niggard (14th C) is derived from the Middle English word meaning ‘stingy,’ nigon, which is probably derived from two other words also meaning ‘stingy,’ Old Norse hnǫggr and Old English hnēaw.[2] The word niggle, which in modern usage means to give excessive attention to minor details, probably shares an etymology with niggardly.[3]
I like that it’s root is fairly plain to see.
That’s un-doubt-able - indubitable.
It’s as if violence begets violence.
Putin succeeds at reraising the iron curtain.
A release candidate is released. Wow!
A release candidate is released. Wow!
They’ll just transition to the next fad that needs large amounts of parallel compute. It’s what they’ve just done moving from cryptocurrency to machine learning.
That’s just vigilante justice.
…and presumably you pay through the nose for it?
If they achieve their goals skirting the law, you don’t get to prosecute them. Make them cross the line. Then they go to jail.
I’m always torn on things like this. Yes, the was probably a bunch of Nazi edge-lords choosing an song with imflametory connections. They are signalling to others what and who they are.
However, getting enflamed about it just broadcasts the existence of such groups. The press are amplifying the signal. It’s free marketing.
The song itself is militaristic and nationalistic, but speaks of the Kiaser and the German empire. i.e. what was before WW1. It’s imperialist, as you might expect from something written in 1814. I can see why the Nazis adopted it, but it’s a boring dirge that is from a bygone era. There’s little to get upset about in the song itself. It’s all about the association.
The rise of groups like this is something to be worried about, and Austria does seem to be a focal point. I just think hyping up scandals is fueling the fire.
I’m sure that’s how it works at the ballot box too.
I think carbon landfill is a great term for it.
