'Every word has come back to haunt me': China cracks down on women who write gay erotica
  • Automation and AI have the potential to put lots of people into unemployment in the next 20 years. For the sake of preventing that unemployment, it’d be good if people had fewer kids. Yet for some reason, governments struggle really hard to comprehend that simple connection.

    Because they assume all people will be consumers of goods. So if they have more people, there will be more consumers to buy things.

    Now the assumption falls apart in any rigor since automation means that less people are needed for labor and would have money to buy gods. But that requires a government that thinks beyond the limited lifetimes of those running the government.

  • As Data Centers Proliferate, Illinois Communities Grapple with How to Supply the Necessary Water. "This isn’t reused wastewater. This is drinking water”
  • In an ideal world I think data center waste heat would be captured for use in a district thermal grid / seasonal thermal energy store like the one in Vantaa.

    Yes, this would be the ideal for dealing with that issue. Re-use that heat to generate some of the energy the data center is demanding.

    Imagine there’s an engineering & physics issue to be solved. But where would we find those top talent people to solve it?

  • 'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher
  • I would also include the death of the “third place”. Because even if you work enough to survive, where do you spend your time outside of the home with other people in your community without spending money? Even worse options if you want kids allowed.

    One of the only places I know of is the library. But I’d be very surprised by an 8-10 year old boy spending their time at the library.

  • Anon is deeply disturbed
  • Yeah, this is how businesses work. They provide what you are looking for at that moment. But to get you to come back, they “provide” other items and services for free to get that future business. This is a way businesses can be “long term” greedy. They’ll still make a profit because those additional costs are in the price of your original purchase.

    However, you aren’t guaranteed that future business. So, businesses have moved to “short term” greedy by charging for everything else while keeping the original purchase price “competitive” or just as pricey.
