they’re trying to compete with Renault’s handsome EV designs

why is guy being bullied for writing what all can understand

I would expect them to be confused and suspicious of the term “surplus labor value”. If not, then education has a problem.

User survey shows the editors hold left-wing and right-wing beliefs about equally

all i found was that self-responses are preponderantly left/center-left: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2024-04-25/Recent_research

editors hold left-wing and right-wing beliefs about equally

source? i’d doubt that unless you’re defining liberals as right-wing here

most chinese malls mainland or not are used to and designed for handling that many people; in fact probably the rest of east asia too. they do have a lot of escalators. hong kong’s got 7M and the mainland 1.4B after all

10–12 stories, a little mall

the lower stories would be more valuable. i would think there’s at least one grocery store on the ground level.

pathing from public transit

i think people are used to taking the escalator in malls

I do agree! (and that was a delightful reply to read) I’m just still upset that this was called truly “awful solutions to the Fermi paradox”, because physicists have entertained the possibility that these assumptions are true. Even if it is very unlikely, at least the principles of discovery and that Earth’s more-advanced civilizations have destroyed the less-advanced one in nearly every contact are likely enough that consensus is apparently to not broadcast, just to be safe. According to https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/astro/people/stanway/sciencefiction/cosmicstories/the_dark_forest/, that is their reasoning.

TL;DR: I agree that it’s very unlikely (and that it’s made as a fictional device; to do classic science fiction, essentially) but I disagree objectively that it is “awful” lol.

oops. just because he’s dead now and not because he changed his mind, right?

Death Note style “I know that you know that I know that you know that I know.…” style bullshit that falls apart

yeah if you didn’t like that part of death note (which i guess would be another of your responses to this question) you definitely wouldn’t like that plot line, which PSA to other commenters takes up about 1/4 of the second book. (i’m also curious to hear why you think it falls apart and debate it though i presume you wouldn’t be interested in debating this book lol. i liked the plotline partly because you also have to deduce what he’s going to do and going on through his mind)

awful solutions to the Fermi paradox

the Dark Forest Hypothesis has been around and proposed by physicists decades before the book popularized it, though not with that name; it is plausible that Liu independently thought of this. Stephen Hawking is a major proponent of this hypothesis.

fans will all say "Oh, yeah, the first book is bad

i don’t think that’s how it goes. the fans i know all say both books one and two are really good (second one being better than the first of course, but no the first book is still awesome) while the third one is controversial. i personally agree with that except i also like the third book though i agree that one did nothing to dissuade misogynist interpretations and there are little if any strong femm characters in the series

how is Andor supposed to appeal to “Disney adults”?

the switch to New Audacity is easier for users from any other DAW (such as Protools, Logic, Ableton) than for Old Audacity users

as an Old Audacity user I disagree with that. it is still extremely hard to use audacity as a DAW because it’s very much still a multitrack audio editor with some beat-based features and non-destructive effects. i don’t think clips were too hard to adjust to

Musescore was changed from a fully offline app to one tightly integrated into an online ecosystem.

I am also an old Musescore user. You would be a little right to talk about audio.com and pretty on the nail to talk about MuseHub but musescore.com absolutely not. musescore.com’s been a thing since 2010 (MuseScore was only founded 2008 and acquired 2017) with the “Save Online” feature. Hal Leonard sued this small project for storing copyvio scores back in the old '10s (and now Muse Group owns Hal Leonard). And it’s not like they’ve “integrated” it any more either; it’s just blumming uploading scores same as it always has been since 2010.

look at MuseHub. those shiny new effects and mixing, we advertise them so much, they’re free, they’re groundbreaking, you have to use proprietary MuseHub. the entire Muse Sounds stack is proprietary. and even then you can still use MuseScore entirely offline to do anything it could do in 3.x (that’s pre-acquisition for those unfamiliar with MuseScore version numbers).

it was never meant to be opt in.

Source? I’ve posted numerous pieces of evidence to the contrary:

people finding out: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#issuecomment-833778895

people highlight the opt-in dialog text: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/835#discussion_r627756976

there are no commits in between; it could not have been changed to opt-in “when people found out” as you claim.

For one thing the Nuremberg Laws (1935) prohibit interracial marriage. That alone is bad. I also believe laws that restrict citizenship are bad. Of course I see a big problem with allat.

There were also many more “incidents” in the four years following the Nuremberg Laws… Audacity, none.

i never understood the vitriol against debug-only opt-in telemetry

it was never opt-out, it was always planned to be opt-in

they stopped that very soon after the controversy started
