fascism might kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of rich people get even richer, so impossible to say whether its bad or not

the new socialist's economics editor has been writing a daily stream of articles and they are very This Thread https://dellsystem.me/fragments and especially https://tribunemag.co.uk/2019/01/abolish-silicon-valley quote:The Silicon Valley model of technological development is structurally flawed. It can’t simply be tweaked in a more socially beneficial direction, because it was never intended to be useful for all of society in the first place. At its core, it was always a class project, meant to advance the interests of capital. The founders and investors and engineers who dutifully keep the engines running may not deliberately be reinforcing class divides, but functionally, they are carrying out technological development in a way that enables capitalism’s desire for endless accumulation.

Xaris posted:doesnt that ever leak out over time or is it actually sealed well enoguh to last 50+ years? no they leak some even through the seals, but it takes awhile and it's apparently noticeable if you know what to watch for (iirc you start to see moisture) but it's supposed to last a long time and i probably wouldn't do an install without a lifetime warranty Sagebrush posted:is there a reason to fill it with a noble gas instead of just like dry nitrogen or whatever argon's cheaper than krypton but both have better thermal transmittance values than like nitrogen or oxygen

https://twitter.com/cflav/status/1087769640699416585 “Many of Intel’s operations are located in semi-arid regions and water-stressed areas, such as Israel, China and the southwestern United States,” warned Intel Corp. If climate change causes longer droughts in those areas, it could “potentially lead to increased operational costs since the semiconductor manufacturing process relies on access to water.” Water shortages could also threaten Coke’s business, the company said, because climate change “could limit water availability for the Coca-Cola system’s bottling operations.” More frequent hurricanes and wildfires could force AT&T to spend more money on repairing damage to its network, as well as “proactively relocating equipment or additional network hardening.” The company noted that disasters cost it $627 million in 2017. ... Alphabet Inc.’s Google says it expects costs and benefits from climate change. “Fluctuating socio-economic conditions due to climate change” could reduce demand for online advertising, the company reported. Yet more people might use Google Earth. “If customers value Google Earth Engine as a tool to examine the physical changes to the Earth’s natural resources and climate, this could result in increased customer loyalty or brand value,” Google wrote. “This opportunity driver could have a positive impact on our brands.” lmao

Don't Be Clearly Identifiable As Evil But Also Still Make Every Effort To Profit Off Evil e: lmao I just got to the line "“Fluctuating socio-economic conditions due to climate change” could reduce demand for online advertising" i mean yeah the global economy will probably collapse and countries will implode or be swallowed up entirely and famine and tropical plagues will kill billions, but the real victim here is advertising budgets

the russians have a self-propelled howitzer that can shoot a 155mm shell over 40 miles. modern gps guidance packages give these shells a CEP of like thirty feet at maximum range. rather than drones or robots, i say we just put one of those cannons on the roof of every fulfillment center. 2 hour same-day delivery? try 2 minute
