dominion? Surely domino? I keep seeing people misspell words, by writing completely different words. Feels like we are getting surrounded by ChatGPT.

He should be able to sue youtube for a nice settlement (if he is in the right), maybe? Idealistically, that should keep such bullshit in check.

But then again, youtube probably has "Youtube reserves the right to do fucking anything to you" in its TOS that everybody just skips.

Nowhere am I dismissing the holocaust.

The example given in the wikipedia article is one small part of the holocaust, while helpful for Nazi efforts, if it did not exist, it would have had 0 ideological hindrance, and most likely would have been managed in some other (maybe less efficient) way, not with IBM punch-cards specifically. I would say it is a bad and irrelevant example. Especially since the world has gone quite a bit away from "out-dated" punch-cards.

I am arguing that having a digitally-verifiable ID has 0 impact on the country's ability for surveilliance of you, since it does that without it, without much hindrance.

A digitally-verifiable ID only impacts your ability to prove your identity online. That's really all. And lack of it is just one symptom of an anti-progressive (whether slow, or inept, or purposely obtuse) country government.

That is quite a twist to use severely out-dated examples for the modern world of today.

The technology for mass data analysis is here and make no mistake all data about you is there in an NSA computer folder.

The question is, why the fuck can't the government give you a nation-backed digitally-verifiable ID number for you that is useful for you, when they have one of you anyway, because they gave you a passport/driving licence.

UV radiation is quite damaging (although part of the popular "summer tan" culture) on its own. However, we also receive higher energy photons (above UV: xray, gamma) as well as some energetic muons from the sun. You get a 4x of a daily dose of radiation if you grab a flight. Around that of an xray. All of which is mostly ignored by people.

You are correct that gamma ray radiation is by far the most damaging radiation. Beta and alpha radiation can be stopped by pieces of paper (or your skin), gamma radiation will go through your house, your car, your wife, hit a dna molecule in your hair follicle, and make that hair follicle permanently gray.

More interestingly, putting the "radioactive" seawater in perspective: tritium fizzles into some beta radiation, of 18kev energy. Assuming, magically, all this (beta radiation) energy was deposited perfectly into your DNA (nearly impossible because it is beta radiation), resulting in maximal damage, in somewhere important and not the dead layer of your skin, doing a tiny calculation we can compute this damage to be that of a photon of 0.07nm wavelength (18 kev), of similar energy used in simple xray imaging (CT imaging uses 5x higher energy). With 10 becquerels / liter, 100 liters of water surrounding you, could inflict a horrible dose of 24 (hours) * 3600 (sec / hour) * 10 x 100 x 18 kev * 1.60218e-16 (Joule / kev) / 70 (kilograms per human) = 3.55958619e-9 Sv in a day

That is a terrifying amount of 3.6 nSv. Almost close to 1/20 that of a banana you eat (I am not joking, just smiling heavily).

Fun facts: https://xkcd.com/radiation/

The fact that people talk about radioactivity in this news, and chinese being angry and the world going apeshit is...... unfathomable.

What? USB 2.0 is 480mbps. Much faster than most wifi routers (you need non-cheap 2x2 (i think) antenna to get >300mbps speeds on routers in ideal conditions).

Do you like Trump? Or ?

"Fuck " is one way to express to a wider forum of people a desire for change. Once you do communicate it, you can actually take action.

Do you really think starting for example a "richtig and genau" petition without "hate speech" is better at accomplishing anything, than actually communicating a hate and working on it (hopefully); a hate that is honestly... deserved.

If I didn't see something like this on r/place, I might think reddit users got lulled into accepting late-stage capitalism fate.

Fuck Spez.

Or in more, different words: Spez is an asshole and deserves to see "his" "company" go bankrupt for his poor decisions.
