Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more (www.theverge.com)

The downfall of Chevron deference could completely change the ways courts review net neutrality, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matt Schettenhelm. “The FCC’s 2024 effort to reinstitute federal broadband regulation is the latest chapter in a long-running regulatory saga, yet we think the demise of deference will...

Yeah, the early primaries really do benefit establishment democrats, and it seemingly painted a damning picture for Bernie. I think if we had synchronized primaries, this benefit would be much smaller and Bernie would've had a significant shot.

COPD fucking sucks, my dude. Living longer isn't the goal, living comfortably is and being unable to breathe all the time is the worst.

I love this logic because capitalism has made it its job to kill any competition prove the alternatives nonviable. Chile was trying something truly revolutionary, a fully democratic based socialism, and the CIA aborted the attempt and installed a capitalism friendly dictatorship.

You won't catch me simping for Authoritarians or anything, but when the only other mode of operation is a military strong enough to resist the CIA, there's going to be a bias towards Authoritarian based alternatives. Convenient, if you're trying to paint the alternatives as nonviable.

I hate that this became a part of the marketing. It's not more than 100% efficient. It's more than 100% efficient if you compare how much energy the pump uses to heat a room (electric energy) to how much energy it takes to heat that room (heat energy). But those aren't the terms that we use to determine efficiency. Efficiency is determined by how much energy it takes to perform the task using the same method we're currently using in some "perfect" system (no energy loss due to friction, heat transfer, etc) and dividing that by how much energy we actually used.

A heat pump isn't heating the air, so it's unfair to determine efficiency by how much energy it takes to heat the air. It's moving heat energy from a low energy area (outside) to a higher energy area (inside) and that heat energy, plus some waste heat from running the compressor, is what's actually heating the room. But that isn't more than 100% efficient. In fact, heat pumps have grown in efficiency significantly over the last few decades because they haven't reached 100% efficiency.

It is accurate to say that any heat pump is going to be more energy efficient than any other type of furnace, but that's because they're doing different things. Just like an LED is going to be more efficient than any other lighting in terms of energy use. Again, different things. Though the heat pump and LED are pretty similar in what they're doing.

chuckleslord ,

I mean, isn't the colloquial use of efficiency mean "the best you can do"? I openly admit, I'm splitting hairs over a technical term being misused and that shit usually doesn't matter in the world. But in this case, isn't it also incorrect from the most common understanding of the term?

And I obviously disagree with the statement that it's very clear contextually what they mean. Every time I hear it said it makes my brain break as to how that's even possible. It's cause it's not possible, it's relating two terms that aren't related to get an impossible answer.

That being said, I'm autistic so I might be making a mountain out of a molehill. In fact, I'm certain of it. So, it's completely cool that you disagree, it just irks me.

It's not in an orbit. Well, it technically is, but it moved far enough away that that orbit no longer intersects with the solar system's SOI. That was the whole point of the voyager probes, to go out into deep space. That's why we sent them out with our mix tapes

Yeah, it's complete BS that the best looking windows, casement and awning, are almost entirely incompatible with window AC units! Like, I have casement windows in my bedroom and the only solution for putting an AC in there is with a "portable" AC, with a horrid looking fabric adapter that tapes to the window. Terrible, 3/10

Monorail takes all of the concepts of trains, makes it harder to implement, places a max speed on it, and introduces a thousand more little complexities. Just build trains.

Evangelical app 'Bless Every Home' is mapping personal information of immigrants and non-Christians in a bid to conduct door-to-door religious conversions and “prayerwalking” rituals targeting them. (newrepublic.com)

It puts a lot of features at the fingertips of the faithful, including the ability to filter whole neighborhoods by religion, ethnicity, “Hispanic country of origin,” “assimilation,” and whether there are children living in the household....

Well, they can but that particular employment method was abolished in the US (though not made illegal, which is an interesting distinction that definitely hasn't ever been abused before) with an obvious (to the people who made it) exception for prisoners.

I... don't think that's the case. Last year was the year of labor wins across the board. Like, I don't understand how to parse what has happened in the world since with this statement. Media, especially corporate owned media, is always going to be somewhat antilabor. One bad interview from one person did not impact labor's perception in any meaningful way.

You have no idea how many people don't understand that. Even if you tell them, they don't get it.

Well, I mean, they probably can, but team sports, ya know. We all do it, make bad things about the "other" and good things about "us". Just, not realizing that the people you stand with can do "bad", cause all humans are capable of doing "bad".

No, it's expensive but not "private plane" expensive. I rode first-class international once because I was recovering from covid and didn't want to deal with the pain of coach (and the travel company that was responsible for my getting covid was paying some of the bill). I'm also 6'4" and don't physically fit in coach. So like, yeah, I'm being physically forced out of coach cause it's too small and I have to pay out the ass to just exist on a plane without physical pain. Must mean I have my own jet, and not that I'm getting fucked.

chuckleslord ,

It was the most comfortable plane flight in my life. It wasn't super comfortable, the sleeper pod things are made for smaller people obviously, but there wasn't pain and there were positions I could move through if one got a little too uncomfy. It was so nice compared to every other flight in my life.

That's so dumb, but okay.

Edit: dumb that using the shortcut to open the task manager doesn't interrupt the system. That's what ctrl-alt-del did before windows 8 or whenever, open the task manager regardless of what was happening. Now I have to use that annoying lock-screen menu to open the task manager to kill processes if things are locked up. Didn't know that, horribly unintuitive

chuckleslord ,

If your computer is locked up, you have to use ctrl-alt-del, with its menu of options including the task manager, in order to interrupt the current processes locking up the system.

Using ctrl-shift-esc launches the task manager program without a system interrupt, meaning it won't unlock the computer. Which is dumb, because why else would I be opening the task manager other than to interrupt some out-of-control process? I guess you could be using it to monitor or something else, but that's what I'm used to opening the task manager to be doing. I didn't even realize this until this comment.

"These people used as much visual manipulation as they could cram into this photo/title to get people to click on it. It's the fault of those being manipulated that it's being clicked on"

chuckleslord ,

No worries, I agree that it's annoying. But it's the algorithm that makes that all but inevitable, it's not a failure of any individual or group of individuals. It's the failure of capitalism, tbh.

I'm neurodivergent, so I'm already parsing language in a strange way. So, when I come across this type of contradictory statements, I like to point them out.

It's covered in the blog, but this is likely due to a bias towards Strong Juxtaposition rules for parentheses rather than Weak. It's common for those who learned math into advanced algebra/ beginning Calc and beyond, since that's the usual method for higher math education. But it isn't "correct", it's one of two standard ways of doing it. The ambiguity in the question is intentional and pervasive.

chuckleslord ,

I don't know what you want, man. The blog's goal is to describe the problem and why it comes about and your response is "Following my logic, there is no confusion!" when there clearly is confusion in the wider world here. The blog does a good job of narrowing down why there's confusion, you're response doesn't add anything or refute anything. It's just... you bragging? I'm not certain what your point is.
