  • Sudo maintainer, handling utility for more than 30 years, is looking for support

  • That Ubuntu unity article where the maintainer was a 10 year old when he started the project but now has shit to do is pretty funny.

  • Is the role of a government to do the will of the people, or to do whats right for the country?

    Jump

  • Representative governments are generally oligarchic and blinded by previous power balances. True democracy like sortition lets the deliberative body hear from a member of a minority that they will revolt or become non participatory if you do a certain action. Then the greater body can decide if that's worth paying attention to. It's a level of agility that is frankly only available in true democracies and very rare in both autocracies and oligarchies. Where sortition is poor isn't tyranny of the majority. It's poor in identifying power structures that are completely unrelated to popular power. Most of those power structures, however, are illegitimate.

    Jump

  • The role of the government is to thread the needle of identifying who has power (including your common labor) and creating a consensus among them that prevents a civil war. It however usually becomes captured and ossified and is unable to identify when certain power blocks have reached their red lines that will topple the whole damn thing until a new government forms. Mandate of heaven essentially. Paternalistic or will of the people are legitimacy building frames but the reality is always material.

  • Banker claims Oracle may slash up to 30,000 jobs, sell health unit to pay for AI build-out

    Jump

  • Oracle runs into the one thing investors hate to do in late stage capitalism: actually building capital intensive infrastructure. Sure this case is for nonsense, but it's a rule across the board.

  • Rasputin's Ghost killed Bobby Farrell for this.

    He died on the morning of 30 December 2010, in a hotel room in Saint Petersburg, Russia, of heart failure.[6] His agent, John Seine, said Farrell had complained of breathing problems and of pain in his chest, which intensified after he performed with his band the prior evening.[7][8] Despite his still present dynamism, he had health problems for a decade. Farrell's body was discovered by hotel staff after he failed to respond to a wake-up call.[9][10] Coincidentally, he died 94 years to the day and in the same city as Grigori Rasputin, the subject of one of his group's most iconic songs and whom he had dressed as in some live performances.

  • Be a puppet state either way, she just wants to signal that she'd be an enthusiastic puppet.

    Her entire legitimacy at this point consists of being recognized by Western organizations and now grovelling to a hostile foreign power. She'd be the worst type of puppet.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • Nuke subs are a bad example for looking at waste because they use higher enriched uranium. And that creates big casks of depleted uranium hexafluoride that we just have no idea what to do with other than sitting them in fields and hoping they don't leak.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • I don't think it's worth abandoning fusion research. I just think we're much farther than popsci ever portrays and I have serious problems with the no waste framing.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • It's not particularly long but it's very much in Superfund abandonment territory when you look at the economics of that "recycling" of low grade radioactive waste. I mean look at how much higher the cost per target is in this presentation alone for internal confinement is based on their kilowatt hours with recycling included. And that's not including the reprocessing and production costs of targets or the fact that rapid target replacement will just frankly break as high energy neutrons and ablation screw up internals.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • It's not a quote, just a reality for non-existent blanket recycling technology and dealing with neutron energies that far exceed anything fission produces in slow neutron reactors and the large amounts of waste created from spallation and tritium handling.

  • without leaving behind hazardous waste

    By volume blanket reprocessing and neutron activated vessel components create more hazardous waste than fission could dream of (not including the nightmare of on site fuel reprocessing for breeders that are similarly pie in the sky)
