@rbreich It has perplexed me for a long time when people say "tax the wealthy" but they balk at a flat tax where everyone would pay a percentage without loopholes.

@rbreich America is just about the opposite of socialist. How anyone could ever believe that has to be some sort of litmus test for a delusional disorder.

@rbreich America is like the ferengi in star trek, everything is about profit!

Peer review is essential for science. Unfortunately, it’s broken.

There's no incentive to fix the system, which was never designed to catch fraud anyway.

I remember both times you kneecapped Hillary Clinton, and long before that, Al Gore.
At one time I respected you, but I realized at some point it was only because of your flowery mastery of language, rather than the quality or value of your opinion.

Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.

Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.

If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe)

You're going to be tracked regardless if this enabled or disabled. It doesn't matter what web browser you use.

@georgetakei I love how we only have to do one simple thing to at least keep the pandemic from wrecking all our lives and it's the one thing you have to fight tooth and nail for against ever more resistance by the day.

Whole generations are going to be disabled by long covid and not even know what's going on as the brain fog hits while their disrupted immune systems fall victim to simple diseases over and over.

@georgetakei I need this on the front of my car. Not sure why, but around here people think the acceleration lane is for not accelerating. They insist on getting on going 40 in a 70 where other traffic goes 80+. And of course if you're the one behind them that means the trailer truck that can't change lanes is now on your bumper downshifting like mad, engine screaming, just a grill in your rear view mirror.

The unmatched streak of perfection with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket is over

An investigation into the engine failure could delay SpaceX's upcoming crew launches.

@arstechnica Rocketry is hard, the fact that SpaceX has it down to an (almost) fine art, makes it easy to forget for many, just how incredibly difficult the engineering is...They'll have this solved and sorted pretty quickly to everyones satisfaction,, to that I have no doubt.

@arstechnica for as long as the platform lasts, my movies-on-disc choice continues to be the library. Not because I can't afford a digital copy that may just suddenly stop working, but because I love libraries and hate giving more money to expensive streaming megacorps who actively hate me.

@arstechnica I had to check the date on this post.

Twice.

Are you sure you don't mean blurays or something at least? People seem to be so silly about resolution even in things that don't need it (I, for one, care more about the quality of the story than about whether I can see how open the actor's pores are that day) that it's hard to imagine most of them watching 480i all that much these days. In fact, interlacing was meant for analog CRTs and looks horrible on digital displays.

To help with climate change, carbon capture will have to evolve

The technologies are useful tools but have yet to move us away from fossil fuels.

Too bad a biochemical method doesn't exist to directly capture carbon dioxide from ambient air into a solid form.

It's not like Rubisco is the most abundant enzyme in existence or anything. Why not give a dying industry billions to continue their activities instead of actually solving the problem?

nazokiyoubinbou ,
@nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social avatar

@arstechnica To be clear, it is impossible for carbon capture to ever reach a sufficient level. It is an excellent tool, but it must be coupled with other solutions as well. We need a multi-pronged approach. Reduce emissions and waste, capture what we can, use alternatives where we can, etc etc. If we do all this stuff together, carbon capture becomes an incredible tool to help support the other solutions. But it can't replace the others.
