Detta. Uppmärksamhetsalgoritmer som är opt-out eller opaka är av ondo.

Italien har ju en finanspolis med maskingevär.

Att barn skulle må bättre av vackrare skolor betyder inte att det inte är ganska bisarrt valfläsk med risk att låta som man bedriver ett entartete kunst-resonemang.

Lite som när man förvägrar människor i livets slutskede tillräckligt mycket droger för att de skulle ju kunna bli beroende och tänk, var skulle vi vara då?

KliMATspelet i ett större sammanhang - KliMATspelet Den stora mängden livsmedel produceras idag i storskaliga, specialiserade och svåröverskådliga system. Effekter på omgivningen, hur saker hänger ihop, påverkar varandra och vad som har stor eller lite...

"Idag produceras 11500 biljoner kalorier i Sverige per år, medan konsumtionen ligger på 11 800 biljoner kalorier."

"Offer" means "victim" in Swedish, which made reading this text very weird.

We often forget that while some on the boomers went on to be the main beneficiaries of the current economic system, no generation has ever done so much protesting: feminism, labour, democracy, wars, nuclear arms. That part we should learn from.

Ja, den här känslan.

Jag går bara på att jag försvarar den maktlösa människan mot förtrycket, oberoende av vilken form detta kommer i. Jag växte upp med min mors böcker om andra världskriget och förintelsen - min mormor var partisan - och formade den uppfattningen tidigt.

I've spoken to hundreds of tech workers at places like Palantir, rank & file + higher up. I only ever met 1 that started his job aware of a moral low shenanigans & not caring. Some grow aware. Most see a good mission. Mobilizing tech workers, a strong labor movement could move the needle

I think it is r/conservative vs r/conservative right now. The posts are disappearing fast.

Someone said that if you are a Russian troll you may have to sync with your cubicle neighbour so you don't ban them by mistake.

Köksattiraljer är en klassiker, typ stekspade och durkslag.

Sedan kan man väl notera att man kan bli oerhört bra på engelska utan att någonsin har sett dessa ord, om man läser huvudsakligen fantasy och SF.

Det är inte nytt, hände även på 90-talet.

Dock misstänker jag starkt att den yngre generationen kan komma att bli starkare på att läsa engelska, de konverteras tidigare.

I am personally rather fond of the fact that child rearing seems be a dad thing in this romance.

The Disney show #Pluribus, about an individual living in a world where almost everyone else have turned into a hivemind, is very much the same feeling as reading more and more Linkedin posts written by AI.

Min uppfattning är att det är representer för företag som uppfattar en brist på de yrken de vill anställa (alternativt vill hålla nere lönerna) som skriver. Detta är ofta ingenjörer, men det beror på arbetsmarknaden.

Skribenten har studerat statsvetenskap, för övrigt. Men skriver för företagarna.

Som ingenjör tycker jag att ovanstående är en tråkig uppfattning, och en som inte stämmer. Det beror mer på person.

(Jag har studerat på humanistiska, filosofiska, tekniska, juridiska och medicinska fakulteten, samt undervisat ingenjörer, humanister, journalister och arkitekter.)

Screenshot of a Reuters news text stating that U.S. President Donald Trump, in a written message to Norway’s prime minister, said he no longer feels obligated to “think purely of peace” because he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and that he repeated his demand for control of Greenland.

There are still new depths of WTF for this particular problem.

Here is a necessarily incomplete list of important points that didn't occur to our departmental executive until it was much too late:

1. An avatar of an Elder God manifesting in the person of a politician might possibly have an agenda of his own and might be sufficiently competent at finding allies, or at least adoring cult members, to win the largest general election landslide victory since 1945

2. The UK, as Lord Hailsham famously remarked in 1975, is an elective dictatorship

3. Consequently, such a politician might be a bit harder to control than a merely human Prime Minister

4. One of the most fundamental rules of Applied Computational
Demonology is "do not summon up anything you can't put down in a hurry"; the avatar of an Elder God is pretty clearly something along those lines

5. This particular avatar of an Elder God turned out to be immune to; bell, book, and candle: bullets: blackmail: botulinum toxin: bribery: bombs: back-bench plots: banishment: and (worst of all) bureaucracy

Not only are we unable to banish the Prime Minister, every entity we are aware of who might be able to do so is *even worse*

Jag gissar att det finns gott om företag med mindre generösa surfabonnemang. Har själv försökt förklara att det är dumt att både ha låg surf som default och inte tala med anställda om riskerna med externa wifi.
