  • you should read it, too:

    • The Commission in 2023 ​excluded aircraft for private or commercial business ​aviation from the list, based on CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre compared with other modes of ​transport.
    • That decision was contested by French planemaker ​Dassault Aviation AM.PA, which called it unlawful

    and the court decided in favor of AM.PA, (hence “cannot be excluded” meaning they overturned the 2023 move) meaning business aviation goes back into the list if the Commission doesn’t appeal

  • what was al-qaeda mostly funding then

  • they’re trying to compete with Renault’s handsome EV designs

  • why is guy being bullied for writing what all can understand

  • I would expect them to be confused and suspicious of the term "surplus labor value". If not, then education has a problem.

  • editors hold left-wing and right-wing beliefs about equally

    source? i’d doubt that unless you’re defining liberals as right-wing here

  • I do agree! (and that was a delightful reply to read) I'm just still upset that this was called truly "awful solutions to the Fermi paradox", because physicists have entertained the possibility that these assumptions are true. Even if it is very unlikely, at least the principles of discovery and that Earth's more-advanced civilizations have destroyed the less-advanced one in nearly every contact are likely enough that consensus is apparently to not broadcast, just to be safe. According to https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/astro/people/stanway/sciencefiction/cosmicstories/the_dark_forest/, that is their reasoning.

    TL;DR: I agree that it's very unlikely (and that it's made as a fictional device; to do classic science fiction, essentially) but I disagree objectively that it is "awful" lol.

  • oops. just because he’s dead now and not because he changed his mind, right?

  • Death Note style "I know that you know that I know that you know that I know.." style bullshit that falls apart

    yeah if you didn’t like that part of death note (which i guess would be another of your responses to this question) you definitely wouldn’t like that plot line, which PSA to other commenters takes up about 1/4 of the second book. (i’m also curious to hear why you think it falls apart and debate it though i presume you wouldn’t be interested in debating this book lol. i liked the plotline partly because you also have to deduce what he’s going to do and going on through his mind)

    awful solutions to the Fermi paradox

    the Dark Forest Hypothesis has been around and proposed by physicists decades before the book popularized it, though not with that name; it is plausible that Liu independently thought of this. Stephen Hawking is a major proponent of this hypothesis.

  • fans will all say "Oh, yeah, the first book is bad

    i don’t think that’s how it goes. the fans i know all say both books one and two are really good (second one being better than the first of course, but no the first book is still awesome) while the third one is controversial. i personally agree with that except i also like the third book though i agree that one did nothing to dissuade misogynist interpretations and there are little if any strong femm characters in the series

  • how is Andor supposed to appeal to “Disney adults”?

  • Code.org Has Become CodeAI

    huh?

  • also, finally an article whose body is oniony!

  • shit, it’s spreading

  • not sure i entirely understood this one. is the joke that consciousness means struggling to do dishes and fold laundry?
