Single family zoning as far as the eye can see. San Francisco simply cannot grow due to the stupidly restrictive zoning. Combine that with prop 13 limits on property tax based on purchase price rather than market price of the property, you got a bunch of land horders who are not pressured to better utilize the limited space that we have as a city.

In turn, this makes rent stupid expensive, and the housing stock really bad for renters.

That’s not how any of this works.

Removing the Canadian news from Facebook doesn’t hurt Facebook one bit. It’ll just hurt Canadians by preventing them from seeing news from local sources.

Facebook never needed news to keep people engaged. They just need content, and they don’t give a shit whether that content reflects reality or not, nor do they care of the content came from Canada.

But hey, I’m the corporate shill right? Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

Oh great, I was hoping we left all the sarcastic non-comments that attack people and adds nothing to the discussion in the speddit botscape.

Can we not?

This is not great at all. You’ll just have pseudo “news” organizations fill the void.

Your crazy uncles won’t stop sharing articles, but instead of coming from Fox News, they’ll be coming from AI spin-offs of infowars and AI Epoch times.

No, unless you are leveraging evaporative cooling, that amount of circulation isn’t going to get you much.

Just get a real geothermal hvac system if you have the opportunity. Incredibly efficient.

Back of the napkin conversion: 20btu/sqft recommended cooling capacity. 1btu = 252 calories (small)

A 60k btu cooling needs

15120000 gram degrees C of water. Assuming you have perfect heat exchanger on both ends, that’s 15120 liters-degrees circulated per hour.

Pumping that much water alone is going to be quite a bit of energy.

Then you have the problem of heat exchanger. There are lots of sizing mostly based on the deltaT temperature difference.

Realistically, without some agent evaporating and recondensing, you’ll have a massive water to air heat exchanger that’s not practical at all.

If you want to do more research yourself, heat exchanger sizing can be found in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering handbooks.

Who is our Jordan Peterson equivalent?

Reporters and intellectuals can be role models but they are more passive than actively preaching what masculinity should mean.

But that’s as high as the meter…..

US embargoed Japanese oil and rubber and the imperial war machine would’ve grounded to a halt without Philippines (US territory) rubber and Dutch Oil.

Not justifying it, but strategically, war with the US was inevitable for imperial Japan.

The left needs to own healthy masculinity and properly address very legitimate issues that disproportionally hurt boys in our society.

Otherwise we will lose a whole generation to toxic male role models in the manosphere.

Artificially grafted chloroplasts!

Curious why Natur never got around to double up on that previously.

From the article,

In 2022, the total number of cases dropped during prosecution rose to 26.28%

So it does sounds like a significant portion of cases get dropped.

Again I’m not an expert on either system, but what I do know is that the judicial system is in dire need of reform in China, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen anytime soon.

The Japanese legal system is caught in a circular spiral of injustice, where the perception that prosecutors only bring charges if someone is guilty makes judges extremely unlikely to ever rule someone innocent.

That's exactly what I mean. Basically from the data, it's difficult to tell if China's model follows this type of approach.

I agree, it's a terrible system in Japan, but the Chinese judicial system has its own massive issues of an ineffective judicial system, and this data does not seem to give much of a context of why the prosecution conviction rates are so high.

This was more or less a reflection of my personal experience.

When I was in school, we were taught how to do research. It involves going to Libraries and looking for primary secondary and tertiary sources via the Dewey decimal system. We were taught how to use almanacs and even had an almanac competition on how fast someone can find information.

Public institutions such as the Library system in the United States, were our "temple" of knowledge. Public support for Libraries was historically VERY high.

However, since the popularization of search engines, it has radically reshaped our expectations of finding information. We expect to find it at our fingertip, in less than 200ms, at the cost of quality and gatekeeping institutions that filtered out a lot of junk knowledge.

I was able to find a few articles talking about this: https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2477/2279

I especially love the quote, "Conflation of information retrieval with knowledge"

Hard to make much out of this data. Does this mean the further collapse of judicial efficacy in China? Or does this more or less reflect a different typo of judicial system where prosecutors will only pursue when conviction is guaranteed like the Japanese system?

Sure, just do what California did via the CCPA and CPRA.

You can opt out of that party selling your data.

It 100% is more tax efficient and effective than going through the judicial system for every single warrant they want to execute. Can’t blame them for that.

I think the logic is more that if AI is inevitable, might as well be the first to make a shitload of money from it.

Which total wars though

Or a fart in a blanket :)

Slap some 2D anime girl avatar on it and you got yourself a top grossing v-tuber.
