Anyone reliant on cloud offerings is stuck.

There are multiple public clouds. AWS is not the default choice a company uses for a public cloud offering anymore.

The Dead Sea Effect

I’m not quite grasping the context you’re asking the question, but I will say gender matters on Lemmy in the sense that I want full representation from all genders (and non-gender folk). The value of conversation here is derived from the many viewpoints that each of us bring. Without full representation, we’ll be missing valuable inside and perspective if a specific gender (or non-gender) is missing.

Nintendo is one of the worst and most unethical companies on the planet. Would be nice if there was a community where people could share their hatred over Nintendo. The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are basically HP, Apple, Nintendo and Nestlé. Fuck all shitty corporations but fuck those 4 in particular.

I agree with you on Nestlé, but HP, Apple, and Nintendo don’t even make the top 50 “worst and most unethical companies on the planet”. You need put in companies like Union Carbide India Limited responsible for the Bhopal disaster, the big tobacco companies, a whole bunch of defense contractors, some other agribusinesses, and a bunch of banks.

I would bet that he only still knows a few words and phrases.

Confirmed with this speech he gave as President when in Indonesian.

That is one of the rare situations where it likely works to your advantage. Any negative thing you do with with your DNA will be pinned on your brother because its his name associated with the DNA you share.

But now we might just be able to cure HIV.

First, I agree with the spirit of what you’re referring to. However, I want to point out we have a fully working cure HIV, its just not reasonable to use on most people. 7 people have been fully cured of HIV with this treatment..

A cure that can be used at scale is I know what you’re talking about. I’m hopeful we’ll have that soon for the world. Meanwhile we have pretty darn good medicine these days to prevent HIV transmission as well as treat those with HIV to live a full life.

I have a USA-centric view, and I’m not sure how old you are, but you don’t have to go back very far to have those same risk (or worse!) for different reasons.

Like having casual sex can give lifelong diseases

Social acceptance for seeking treatment is much better now than 20 or 30 years ago. Moreover, HIV was death sentence back then, not so much anymore with modern medicine. Even contraception was harder to get ahold of as a teen 30 years ago. Now if any teen needs contraception or birth control, there are many legal and legitimate ways for them to get it easily.

the right wing bearing down on everyone’s freedoms (except theirs ofc),

I love how far we’ve come in the areas social justice (and we have more do to here). 30 to 50 years being gay would render you a social outcast as a teen. Telling others you were an atheist may have got you disciplinary actions from your school. If we’re looking back 50 years, we’d be right on the edge of the end of the draft to be shipped off to the Vietnam war which happened to many 18 and 19 year olds. This says nothing about the negative experiences of people of color have received at the hands of law enforcement, justice system, an unequal treatment from the education system.

I would never want to be a teenager now.

I fully agree with you here. The biggest risk is for their childhood mistakes to follow them for the rest of their lives. After us old folks that didn’t grow up with forgettable childhoods die off, society will evolve to forgive youthful mistakes as it will be 100% of the population that has documented past mistakes they’re not proud of, but this current transition time will be painful for the younger generations.

And as far as I’m concerned… he can’t be punished enough.

I was referring to punishment for his shoppers. You can bet Mike doesn’t sleep on one of his own lumpy pillows, even if he should be in prison for his actions trying to overturn democracy.

They’re going to hand over good money for a lumpy pillow from a two bit con artist and part time insurrectionist. Isn’t that punishment enough for the shopper? Nothing we could do to the redirect would punish them worse than having to use a a Lindell lumpy pillow.

I’m half tempted to buy the domain name “myLUMPYpillow.com” and simply redirect the traffic to mypillow.com just because of how much Lindell would hate that.

Will art matter when we’re all dead from climate change tho?? I guess everyone has their priorities

I believe these antics hurt the advocacy for taking climate change seriously. Their vandalism protests confirm in the minds of the opposition that “climate change is fake because the ‘soup throwers’ are the ones driving it.”.

Its similar to how vegans are dismissed not for their choices in diet but because of how they advocate others to do the same. People that want to go vegan have to do so in spite of the perception the most vocal vegans have created. Instead of accelerating adoption it creates a new barrier. Note, I’m not a vegan. See, I have to say that so I’m taken seriously in this response. That is how bad public perception of veganism is because of its most vocal advocates.

This is essentially the drone version of the WWII Japanese bomber, where the bomb itself also had a human pilot.

For both the human piloted flying bomb and the drone release, its a one way trip.

That looks like a commercial PTZ camera for a building security system. Did the orcs shoehorn that into a giant drone for surveillance?

Many bathroom cleaners are ammonia based. Mixing chlorine bleach with ammonia creates chlorine gas, the same stuff used as chemical weapons in WWI.

I like your choice of books. How was the Von Braun book? One I don’t see on your shelf, but would recommend it would be “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth” by Chris Hadfield. There is a second book he did at the same time of just photography he took while at the ISS. Both are worth looking at.

At a minimum employers that choose this should be forced to give the cash currently being paid into the employer group plan to employees for them to purchase their own health insurance that is ACA compliance. Further, they should be required to disclose into a federal database and to every applicant that they are providing less-than-ACA-compliant healthcare so prospective employees can choose to decline them as an employer.

Saw the spelling mistake, thanks! It is now even more clear that she wasn’t sentenced to fraud because she helped convict Sam Bankman-Fried, but because of her own actions in committing fraud at the same time.

Headline rewrite because I had to read it 5 times to understand it:

Caroline Ellison, who then helped now convited convicted Sam Bankman-Fried in his FTX crypto fraud, is herself convicted and sentenced to two years for fraud

edit: fixed spelling thanks @[email protected]

It’s basic math, 1,000 pound battery packs x 3.3 million current vehicles.

Its basic math with incorrect inputs. According to your own source only 600 lbs to 750 lbs of that requires “battery recycling” that needs special battery recycling facilities. You’re welcome to hang your hat on that if you want, I suppose, but it makes me question your other assertions.

We do have some local recycling, but nothing at that scale and the batteries have a 15 to 20 year lifespan.

I agree, but that also means its not an imminent problem. All of your language here is suggesting it is, unless I’m hearing you wrong.

Maybe sooner because I’m sure those 2008 batteries are pushing it by now.

This is what I’m talking about when doubting your arguments and urgency. In 2008 the SUM TOTAL of Tesla cars sold was less than 100. How about 2009? About 900 cars. 2010? Only about 400 cars. source

In TOTAL there were only 2,450 Tesla Roadsters ( the first Tesla) made over 4 years and sold in 30 different countries.

Tesla was around 2008 so by 2028 we need to have a plan for mass recycling.

So if 100% of all the Tesla roadsters batteries died and were completely unusable in 2028 we’d need the recycling capacity of 100 batteries, and thats four years from now.
