Bots are the ones running the show here too though.
Is this about hexbear and lemmygrad? These accusations have never made sense to me. They have been here long before it became popular and they had the same opinions back then. It makes no sense and is a waste of resources to have bunch of bots posting stuff when there is no one to read those posts.
a shovel produces the same amount of use-value whether it is sold for $5 or $25
Not disagreeing with anything you said, but use-value is a qualitative property of a commodity, not quantitative, so we can’t speak of an “amount of use-value”, AFAIK.
Imagine all the dust from dead skin cells that you’ve accumulated over your entire lifetime, returns to you as skin. I wonder what that would look like.
Embarrassingly for someone whose native language is german, I often use the masculine when the neuter should have been used, because they feel the same to me. I never was taught any formal grammar in german, though, so that might play a role.
In the west, the main cause of malnutrition isn’t a lack of calories, but a difficulty in access (from availability or price or other factors) to healthy foods with the required nutrition for a healthy life or from an excess of certain nutrients. This is often manifested as conditions such a obesity and type II diabetes. So malnutrition does impact people in the west.
I didn’t stick around because one of the issues was that if you ended up striking an interesting and wholesome conversation, you’d never meet this person again and this bothered me.
Couldn’t you have offered some permanent contact such as social network profile to remain in contact with that human?
The reason we often have to tell visitors to not trust Google when trying to reach us, is that it often takes them into a really steep valley that is densely vegetated with prickly plants on both sides on the road, with water accumulated at the bottom in the winter and really large and long holes from the water running down the hills. If they don’t get the hint that maybe google isn’t always giving the best suggestion they risk getting stuck or having their car damaged.
Venn diagrams representing more than 3 sets don’t work if you keep using 2d circles to represent all the sets. For example, in this diagram there’s no intersection of ºF451 with and only with BNW, or 1984 with and only with AHT.
If it is something that has been left untouched for some years, then the dust is probably too thick to be simply blown away (and would probably create a bigger mess than what you started with), I imagine. Use an old wet piece of cloth.

Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun....
The massic heat capacity of water is 4184 J⋅kg⁻¹⋅K⁻¹. To heat one 1 Liter (1 kg) of water from 30ºC to 100ºC it would take 4184×(100-30) = 2.929e5 J. We want 4 liters however, so we multiply that by 4 and get 2.929e5 J × 4 = 1,172e6 J To then turn that heated water into vapor it would require some more energy. The vaporization enthalpy of water is 4,066e4 J⋅mol⁻¹, and has a molar density of 1,80153e-2 kg⋅mol⁻¹(so 4 liters (4 kg) of water in moles would be 4 / 1,80153e-2 = 2,22033e2 mol), which means that to vaporize the four liters of water we would need 2,22033e2 × 4,066e4 = 9,028e6 J (I think I might have made a mistake here somewhere, because I don’t think it would only need 8 times more energy to completely vaporize the water, compared to the amount of energy required to heat it, but I can’t find the problem). So the total energy to heat and vaporize 30 ºC water would be 9,028e6 + 1,172e6 = 1.020e7 J
Let’s take a 55x40x23 cm suitcase. And let’s assume a solar irradiance of 1000 W⋅m⁻² (which is what this site says is a normal solar irradiance to be expected on a clear day on the equator). Let’s assume three faces are exposed to the sun and all equally so (three faces receive 1000 W⋅m⁻² while the other three receive none, which would not happen since on a rectangular cuboid, like a suitcase, you can’t have all three faces facing directly towards the sun). The box would be receiving (0.55×0.40+0.40×0.23+0.55×0.23)×1000 = 438.5 W, which means that over one hour (3600 s), it would receive 438.5×(3600) = 1,5786e6 J, which is less than the required 1.020e7 J (by almost an order of magnitude), so it wouldn’t be possible to heat and vaporize 4 liters of water in an hour.

this seems a well-argued article to me the ‘General directionless development’ seems the most concerning point, I don’t think the ‘let’s go with what the community ask\want’ model is gonna work in the end....
And then finally, I found this post., where a longtime contributor complains of the general lack of direction and philosophy, in March 2020.
Maybe there’s indeed a lack of direction and philosophy, but I’d be careful with citing that specific PR, for it was made by someone known for making some rather bizarre accusations of godot and who is no longer a godot contributor due to their past behaviour.
China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
I’ve been using only xf for a long time now. Don’t remember ever getting an error from it in the last years. Maybe tar can now check the magic number or something to figure out what the format is?
Not going to disagree that GDP is a bad measure of economic productivity, but, theoretically, in this case both the economists also got utility by enjoying themselves by paying the other to see them eat excrement. Assuming humans to be rational, it could be argued that there was a net gain of utility (if 100 $ is worth more than what you lose from eating excrement) or at least remained the same, since the buyers considered the entertainment they get to be worth at least 100 $ and that the service providers considered their service to be worth less than 100 $).
Closed licenses are arguably better for certain left projects
What about licenses that restrict the software from being used in a certain way? I think I’ve heard of at least one open-source license that disallows the software from being used in the military industry.
Apple I think relies heavily on the BSD project (I think they might be even using the same kernel?) and Google on Linux. There’s also probably a lot of open-source software they use behind the scenes or which aren’t as big.
People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?...
When I deleted my reddit account many years ago, my productivity skyrocketed. It has now dipped considerably
I remember having the same experience, but I don’t know if it was just a side-effect of having stood up and decided to do something about procrastination. Nevertheless I think I may again edit my /etc/hosts file and set some sites to 0.0.0.0.
I think momentum does indeed play a role. I remember when I do things to “get my life back on track” such as cleaning the house, going to the meetings I am supposed to go to, doing some activities I tell myself I should be doing, then the next few days I’m very productive, but then at some point fall back to where I started.
