Ya we need more women in construction

With each bodyguard he adds one more person has the opportunity to do a funny thing.

Luckily that is completely irrelevant because it’s Oklahoma

Keep in mind that as soon as the FAA becomes funded by billionaires their primary responsibility is to the billionaire instead of the flying public. Much in the way that the police are employed by the rich and could give fuck-all about ordinary citizens.

No one said anything about a high entropy environment. Entropy is a tool for thinking about this stuff, and it extends beyond thermodynamics as entropy is an information theory concept too. The more fragmented things become, the harder they are to work with. When you use energy (or water) for an industrial use it creates fragmentation and makes that water harder to use (especially for a different use case, drinking). You can’t just pump it back into the aquifer. This is a directional thing, not about high or low in absolute numbers.

How is this fundamentally different from the “my kids don’t go to school so I shouldn’t have to pay property taxes” people? Relax it’s a public good, the FAA. Everyone benefits from a public good.

Just because water is cheap doesn’t mean it’s plentiful. We under-price water, as evidenced by the massive profiteering off of public water. These prices are inelastic and don’t respond to supply perfectly.

Also life can absolutely exist in a game of entropy. You’re pulling semantics with the closed system thing. If you want, then make the closed system be the whole solar system. It doesn’t affect my argument.

Using fresh water causes energy to be spent, that’s the whole point. Yes you can recover drinkable water from anything if you spend enough energy to do it, including the ocean, but we can’t do that as a primary means of getting water. Eventually it is a snake eating its own head with the amount of energy spent to obtain more energy.

It gets heated and then it’s unusable because the point of it is to cool things off. Some of it you can cool down and use again, by evaporation, but then you lose the amount that evaporated. When it goes back into the atmosphere it becomes polluted and you have to spend more energy cleaning it before it can be used by humans. Entropy always increases, the question is how fast you want it to increase.

This is like saying cars are designed to go fast, people driving them want to go fast, the entire purpose of them is to go fast. Adding speed limits defeats their entire purpose.

If you believe systems always destroy themselves there is no hope for you because that isn’t the point. You will die someday, that isn’t the point. The point is to live.

1. If they’re all in different positions then they aren’t all antithetical.
2. Free and fragmented. When you let things get too consolidated and centralized they stop being free.

1. They can be more or less free. You aim for more and don’t achieve perfect freedom but it can be close.
2. This is why bodies like the FTC are supposed to exist.
3. Fuck you

how is a completely free market incompatible with democracy?

whose fucking goddamn idea was that

As long as it’s the right people, I don’t really care. It’s about building community anyway, not consuming it.

If you’re going by capitalist purism like Milton Friedman we’re nothing even close to that.

They are a monopoly protected by patents. Completely unamerican philosophically.

Because humans are social creatures?

I mean, it is objectively bad for life. Throwing away millions to billions of gallons of water all so you can get some dubious coding advice.

Search is really useful for finding error messages’ origin as well as to find random example usages of APIs that have less than stellar documentation. The nice thing about GH search is that it allows many different facets like language and is pretty flexible by allowing exact search terms. Of course the corpus size helps as well.
