Hallo ich mache Philosophie, Technik und Gesellschaft.

  • then again would it make any difference of somebody else owned these homes and charged high rents? the problem is not the owner but the high rents

  • we've had this discussion so many times, let's have it one more time, shall we?

    electricity is the most valuable form of energy. every time you want to convert energy A into energy B, you almost always do it via electricity energy as an intermediary step.

    for example, if you want to convert the potential energy of water into light energy, you go: water potential energy -> turbine rotary energy -> electric energy -> light.

    so, the question is, how can electric energy be converted from/to other types of energy? important types:

    • electrochemical (direct reduction, batteries, galvanic cell)
    • electromechanical (motor, generator)
    • photoelectric (solar panel, LED)

    there are some others that i'm still thinking about how to categorize (peltier effect / seebeck effect).

    these are represented by major 4 integrated circuit types:

    • capacitor / supercapacitor represents battery
    • coil represents motor / generator (electromagnetic coupling)
    • diode represents photoelectrics
    • transistor for switching

    the first 2 are "linear" (described by linear theory). the last 2 are semiconductor materials.

  • usually it takes me a while to contemplate what the other person just said and whether they're actually right. sadly by then they're mostly gone so i can't tell them.

  • eat shit have fun :)

    edit: i should clarify that is what philosophy is all about

  • these flying stinging insects ... what are they called ... that can give you bad diseases (e.g. malaria)

  • good question. depends a lot on location. and on where you want to go in your life. meeting like-minded people always helps but for that you have to know yourself first.

  • i'm not sure. it's more about the bread anyways. it looks kinda heavy. i get constipation from it. so i only eat croissants and other "lightweight" bread. not sure how to properly translate this.

  • yes. they are infiltrating your house as we speak :)

  • yeaah the US has a lot of special history. preventing slavery is an important task of the fed.gov.

    yet i see the problems that overall fed.gov. interference with own personal life can do.

  • i couldn't eat this, the white bread and type of cheese would give me constipation. i need more vegetables. but you do you, enjoy!

  • Living through this has taught me that while I was a strong federalist to try and guarantee rights and build out what I think will help society

    the thing i've learned is that even if there's no fascist, and everybody does their best, things can still go horribly wrong because cultural differences aren't respected. for example, in one country, tattoos are illegal because they're associated with organized crime. in one small village though, tattoos are an ancient and sacred art and outlawing them does a lot of harm. so even when the politicians try their best to "clean up the place", cultural differences lead to damage to minorities. that's why federal politics shouldn't regulate anything that's non-commercial. in general, this is a reply to your comment, and has nothing to do with this post specifically.

  • a black hole's radius grows linear with its mass. but its volume grows with the third power of its radius. so, the more massive a black hole gets, the less dense it gets.

  • yeah you're right, i didn't think of that.

    • 1 kg per day, so 365 kg per year
    • 1 kg per day, so 365 kg per year
    • 2 - 3 kWh per day, so about 1000 kWh per year

    • about 300 people/km² for rural areas. cities can go arbitrarily high but max out at about 30k people/km². often far less than this, though.

    the reason for 300 people/km² is largely that that's the amount of people who can be fed on that area, i.e. biological carrying capacity, if you fully utilize the arable land (as long as it's fertile). so it would be 300 people/km² in most of the US midwest but around 0 people/km² in the great desert to the west of that. surprisingly, that's not at all how people are actually distributed within the US: the midwest is about equally densely populated as the desert, which in my mind just doesn't make any sense.

  • see the edit :)

  • surprisingly good, except the population density. i'm making a post about that one next.

    edit: made the post

  • i'll give my own estimates after you've all had some time to think about it yourself. i've already looked up some of these numbers so it's kinda unfair if i just state them immediately.

  • i believe that blahaj zone gets a lot of ddos attacks from assholes from all over the world, sadly.

    i would recommend setting up a ddos protection tool, maybe anubis? unfortunately i'm not an expert about how to set this thing up. feddit.org uses it btw, so maybe the admins could assist each other with the setup?

  • it is connected if you check the last paragraph?
