I don’t even have a car.
I’m 100% sure that these regulations are political, not technical/scientific.
Some regulatory body decided for political reasons that this percentage of parking spots is required, that’s it. There’s no committee of experts actually evaluating how many spots are needed.
The title is a bit reductionist, but labour in the sense of getting paid to perform tasks for a ruthless entity isn’t exactly the only way to organize work.
There were, for example, quite successful anarcho-syndicalist worker collectives in civil-war Spain. Of course Franco dismantled them and even the communists back then hated them, but for a time they were successful.
Now, whether this is the best, or even a functioning, approach I don’t know. But if you look at the state of the current system, it’s not exactly working either.
Just in terms of efficiency, it’s incredibly bad. Look at all the completely wasted work due to the sheer existence of the management class. That can’t be the best system.
I’m not talking about people taking disabled spots, I’m talking about these spots being empty, because there are not that many people who could use these spots.
My comment was very clear, but you chose to read what you wanted, because that’s more convenient.
Is that a bad attempt at being sarcastic?
To be fair, at least here in Germany, the amount of parking spots for disabled people and the amount of actually disabled people parking don’t really seem to match. There’s often enough a whole bunch of parking spots empty and like one guy on crutches.
I do get, that planners and regulators need to plan for the “worst case”, and that’s perfectly fine, but the current situation is certainly a bit wasteful.
Daniel is a werewolf, obviously.
Not for you. And certainly not for the staff working in the shop.
Currently, you’re bartering with copious amounts of copium.
… And if the systems you actually interact with go down, you can get fucked as well.
If you want to buy food with Monero and the payment processor for the local shop doesn’t work, even if it’s a local machine sitting in the back office, you still can’t buy anything.
Bitcoin lightning is absolutely hilarious. Your solution to Bitcoins problems is - not using Bitcoin. Wow, galaxy brain move.
The energy cost to maintain the base chain is <1% of global energy use, mostly from renewables
Yeah, that’s bullshit. First of all, 1% of energy use for a network that serves a few million transactions per day is really bad. A single 1kW node in Visa’s datacenter churns through that in an hour.
Second, it’s not renewables. It’s everything they can get for cheap. And that’s often enough coal, gas, oil. Also, they’re driving up power demand as a whole, which means fossil energy is actually needed longer.
That’s decades of legacy for you…
I bet each step/arrow/decision had a good reason at some point, but most of them probably back when computers lived in caves and hunted their tapes using spears and rocks.
I feel like we’re slowly reaching a point where the complexity is collapsing in on itself - just look at the absolute chaos a modern web app is.
That’s the point.
In Germany there was a battle between left and right back then. The economy boomed in the 20s and faltered in the 30s. Capitalists saw the threat of socialism looming just behind Poland and so they supported fascism.
The Nazis funneled billions into large businesses. It was unsustainable and morally multi-level wrong, but they skimmed a lot of profits from these agreements. They got rich, while the economy started to collapse - even before the war.
Even after the war, most of them got away. They kept much of their wealth.
Prudes…
Java’s Duke just stands there, fully nude and is giving NullPointerException fucks.
Again, you CAN’T, obviously. Otherwise you wouldn’t keep doing it. It’s a coping mechanism you found and now you got so used to it, any other method just doesn’t cut it anymore. That’s a dependence.
You can argue all you want that it’s a time issue, but we both know that’s not true.
Soooo, you can’t relax without alcohol.
That doesn’t sound odd to you?
Um, yes.
At least with a pretty high certainty, the “I can do without” is a lie. If you need alcohol that much to “de-stress”, then you are functionally unable to live without alcohol. And that is extremely problematic.
Yeah, that’s alcoholism.
If either outcome leads to alcohol, that’s problematic.
Sounds a lot like alcoholism.

Glad you asked.
Stupidity and self-righteous hive minds.
