that i

schestowitz

schestowitz

more managers realise

schestowitz

and they don't like it

schestowitz

so now they target FSF, CLA, RMS

schestowitz

they try to force centos users to become IBM clients

schestowitz

and it's not working

schestowitz

because new RHEL clones are created

schestowitz

it's amusing in a sense to see this unfold.

schestowitz

amusing, but... they do lots of damage

schestowitz

to people and orgs

schestowitz

but it's they who declare war, not us

Aug 01 00:09

schestowitz

Aug 01 00:09

schestowitz

as is free software hackers are racist misogynists

schestowitz

and Linux Foundation helped them troll us

schestowitz

"Debian has three different branches: (1) stable, (2) testing and (3) unstable. The unstable branch "Sid" is a rolling release distribution similar to something like Arch Linux. You get the latest and greatest packages, unlike the standard "stable" edition of Debian, which can have very old packages." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLI37fg6FyY

CrystalMath

schestowitz: you only need SASL to access freenode now, your account is still alive

Aug 01 03:26

XRevan86

CrystalMath: I said that already.

Aug 01 03:27

CrystalMath

you don't need to register again, in fact you can't register another schestowitz since you already have it

Aug 01 03:27

XRevan86

CrystalMath: I said that also :). Several times.

Aug 01 03:28

CrystalMath

hmm

Aug 01 03:28

CrystalMath

yes indeed

Aug 01 03:28

schestowitz

go tell that to everyone ^_^

Aug 01 03:33

schestowitz

freenode:#techrights has 38 users online

Aug 01 03:33

schestowitz

days ago it was over 50

Aug 01 03:33

XRevan86

schestowitz: The video just has some wrong statements, what CrystalMath says is correct.

Aug 01 03:34

CrystalMath

it is true that you must have an account now to connect

CrystalMath

but it doesn't matter whether you create it through irc.com or through an existing connection and talking to NickServ

CrystalMath

(anyone's existing connection, NickServ still allows you to logout and register another account)

XRevan86

and SASL and TLS are mandatory now, which will upset a number of people that even do have an account.

CrystalMath

yes

CrystalMath

indeed this costed freenode half its users (so far)

XRevan86

IDENTIFY is worthless now.

CrystalMath

it isn't, because you can logout and identify again :P

CrystalMath

and you need to

CrystalMath

in order to register bot accounts

CrystalMath

for your bots

XRevan86

CrystalMath: Why do bots need special treatment? So far I didn't see anything special to register them.

Aug 01 03:37

CrystalMath

XRevan86: well you just do... logout, register, identify

Aug 01 03:37

CrystalMath

it's not *just* for bots... but it's the way staff recommends for bots

CrystalMath

you can also use this to create new accounts for yourself

XRevan86

CrystalMath: How is that different from registering the bot via IRC.com?

CrystalMath

if you want

CrystalMath

well you don't use irc.com

CrystalMath

the website

CrystalMath

which may require a cloudflare captcha that is non-free, i guess

CrystalMath

but most of the time there is no difference

XRevan86

CrystalMath: That's a very niche use-case.

CrystalMath

the irc.com thing can also be used as an API, btw

XRevan86

So "worthless" is still a word I would use.

CrystalMath

well i mean schestowitz said he wants registrations from IRC not the web

CrystalMath

so.... there you go :P

XRevan86

CrystalMath: Takes a lot of imagination.

Aug 01 03:41

XRevan86

"there you go" – I doubt an answer "yes, but actually… no" is going to satisfy %).

Aug 01 03:42

XRevan86

- There's no entrance.

Aug 01 03:43

XRevan86

- See this whole in the fence? That's technically an entrance.

Aug 01 03:43

XRevan86

* hole (ugh)

Aug 01 03:43

schestowitz

[03:39] <CrystalMath> well i mean schestowitz said he wants registrations from IRC not the web

Aug 01 03:44

schestowitz

it's not freenode.net

Aug 01 03:44

schestowitz

they just have a knowledgebase there

Aug 01 03:44

schestowitz

Lee wants to furnish his bubble

schestowitz

app and fancy domain

schestowitz

he thinks he can 'blackmail' users to do so

schestowitz

by denying them access to channel they frequent

schestowitz

"can't talk to these people until you add your name to my other SSO"

schestowitz

"no friends!"

XRevan86

schestowitz: The answer to that is Andrew is merging these properties together.

schestowitz

these are facebook tactics

schestowitz

the zuckerberg modus operandi

schestowitz

Andew Zuck

schestowitz

XRevan86: without consulting anyone who uses freenode

schestowitz

he's messing about with actual freenode communities

schestowitz

to sell another failing venture

schestowitz

so to hell with himmm

XRevan86

I'm expecting Andrew to diminish the role of the freenode domains further down the line.

schestowitz

what after this?

schestowitz

He keeps knocking down the house

schestowitz

bans of channels

CrystalMath

schestowitz: you only need SASL

schestowitz

bans of people

CrystalMath

you don't need to register on irc.com again

CrystalMath

as we said

schestowitz

dumping the whole network DB

schestowitz

nor pushing people to join some site they never asked foir

schestowitz

with an email address

CrystalMath

and also if you register on NickServ you get an irc.com account

schestowitz

many used freenode without ever supplying an email address

CrystalMath

so the SASL-only isn't really about that

schestowitz

some used tor and never gave an ip address either

schestowitz

but kape is harvesting people's names

schestowitz

kape

CrystalMath

tor was blocked on freenode

schestowitz

the "lesser NSO Grou"

schestowitz

f them!

CrystalMath

there was only a tor-sasl gateway

CrystalMath

you needed an email to use freenode with tor

CrystalMath

always

XRevan86

schestowitz: When ye said that Libera is a young network and ye don't know what to expect of it, I replied that it's freenode that I actually don't know what to expect from, or rather that I expect the unexpected from it.

CrystalMath

schestowitz: and the same applies to libraria

XRevan86

schestowitz: I don't think this is the last change.

schestowitz

they are both unknowns

CrystalMath

schestowitz: also, liberal.crap also has SASL-only IP ranges now

CrystalMath

as well as tor which is SASL-only

schestowitz

so they turn IRC into proprietary crap

schestowitz

count me out

schestowitz

(I known sasl is not proprietary)

schestowitz

coming soon, freenode "IS IRC

schestowitz

then "IS IRC.COM"

schestowitz

Then "IS APP"

schestowitz

Kape.app

XRevan86

CrystalMath: Didn't know that. How many are there?

CrystalMath

it's called "irc.com by freenode"

CrystalMath

XRevan86: my CGNAT for example

schestowitz

join today, the malware is free of charge

schestowitz

run by casino charlatans like adelson

schestowitz

MAGA.IRC

CrystalMath

XRevan86: also a friend of mine from mexico encountered it too

schestowitz

Teddy Adelson Lee

CrystalMath

not that i want to connect there

MinceR

01 043530 < CrystalMath> (anyone's existing connection, NickServ still allows you to logout and register another account)

MinceR

not terribly practical

CrystalMath

rather, i accidentally almost opened their webchat from a link, but it didn't connect :P

schestowitz

I wasted like 50 hours on the freenode mess

schestowitz

I've quit investing any further effort

schestowitz

e.g. in logging in

CrystalMath

which is fortunate since i don't want to connect to liberal.crap

schestowitz

all those access restrictions in recent months

schestowitz

when people are "THE PRODUCT" they have no use for bots

XRevan86

CrystalMath: Do ye have insight into what the plans for the brands are? So far the scope of them is becoming merky.

schestowitz

no data to harvest to brainwash people

schestowitz

or to sell their profile

schestowitz

they could put an SSO in freenode.net

schestowitz

the choice of another domain is revealing

schestowitz

by the time they make the next move they might just have 5,000 actual users left

CrystalMath

XRevan86: no i don't know

CrystalMath

i know that irc.com is called "irc.com by freenode"

schestowitz

in 10k rooms (formerly known a "channels")

CrystalMath

and the messages seem to say that freenode owns irc.com

CrystalMath

btw you know that christel mentioned irc.com like years ago?

XRevan86

CrystalMath: The choice of the domain name implies that it's "freenode by irc.com", not the other way around.

CrystalMath

in 2018

schestowitz

Lee needs to talk about his plans

MinceR

do they matter at this point?

schestowitz

it's clear they steer the cattle towards some eventuality

CrystalMath

a lot of these changes are not *that* new....

MinceR

one misstep follows another and the network haemorrhages users

schestowitz

without disclosing it upfront

CrystalMath

it's just that for some reason, changes are being done very quickly on freenode now

schestowitz

and that might explain why they didn't convert the DB when changing to another ircd

XRevan86

CrystalMath: They are sudden and unannounced.

MinceR

and stupid

CrystalMath

XRevan86: that's one thing that i can't really understand

schestowitz

CrystalMath: that's why I quit chasing

schestowitz

and afaik freenode is now doomed

schestowitz

it's not even financially viable anymore

MinceR

The Doomed Dimension

XRevan86

Even the reset had no prior warning.

CrystalMath

XRevan86: well rasengan was talking about that for a week

schestowitz

10k users who come to channels to say "NIGGER. OOPS. WRONG CHANNEL" are NOT an aset

schestowitz

*asset

CrystalMath

XRevan86: it's just a lot of people didn't seem to... believe it... how should i say

schestowitz

they're a liability unless he wants another parler

CrystalMath

Ariadne was there and said that it's crazy

schestowitz

which maybe is what he envies

XRevan86

CrystalMath: In #freenode? Sure, the whole 50K population of freenode was there to witness that.

schestowitz

saying that "those fuckers stole [the election from Trump"

CrystalMath

i was there and i just said that i think it would be better if the database was migrated

XRevan86

CrystalMath: Crazy doesn't mean not true.

schestowitz

[03:56] <XRevan86> Even the reset had no prior warning.

schestowitz

weekend too

schestowitz

iirc

schestowitz

or maybe Sunday

CrystalMath

XRevan86: so in the end, it happened exactly as it was said

XRevan86

CrystalMath: A message in #freenode is not heads-up.

schestowitz

except no users

CrystalMath

XRevan86: there was a global notice but it was a short notice

schestowitz

no users, no value

schestowitz

and our channel in freenode is no longer accessible

XRevan86

CrystalMath: And it was a day prior at best.

CrystalMath

schestowitz: hmm?

schestowitz

must register an account in some dodgy KAPE site

schestowitz

I might remove that from our IRC landing page soon

schestowitz

we need IRC that people can access without an account

Aug 01 04:00

schestowitz

freenode is now unfit for purpose

Aug 01 04:00

schestowitz

unless this requirement is just temporary

Aug 01 04:00

XRevan86

CrystalMath: It would be nice to know if IRC.com is actually associated with freenode, Ltd. I suspect that it is.

Aug 01 04:01

CrystalMath

i think so

Aug 01 04:01

CrystalMath

but i don't know

Aug 01 04:01

XRevan86

schestowitz: I really don't think that's temporary.

Aug 01 04:03

XRevan86

CrystalMath: It definitely wasn't before, so the question is whether Andrew did the work to transfer it.

Aug 01 04:04

XRevan86

It's a bit of a sole owner, so he may not have bothered with such details of ownership.

[04:03] <XRevan86> schestowitz: I really don't think that's temporary.

Aug 01 04:07

schestowitz

they blame "spam" as an excuse

Aug 01 04:07

schestowitz

because they're insincere

schestowitz

I didn't notice spam issues there

schestowitz

they wish they still had much spam

schestowitz

as that would prove they're still relevant

schestowitz

it's just another face-saving lie

schestowitz

for us, I suppose the bridge should suffice

schestowitz

and I don't think we want to send people to sign up in kape sites for an account

XRevan86

schestowitz: The spam excuse was my hypothesis. I haven't actually seen *any* justification whatsoever.

schestowitz

just to access a channel

schestowitz

we already cloak IPs here

XRevan86

schestowitz: I agree with that.

Aug 01 04:10

schestowitz

I will change the "Freenode (More Open and Bigger)"

sears_hardware

Well, apparently he unbanned irccloud after claiming on l0de radio interview it's a permanent ban

Aug 01 04:11

Aug 01 04:14

sears_hardware

well, i just don't know what he does all day

Aug 01 04:14

Either it's a difference because of verbal communication, or it was an act. Can't really tell.

Aug 01 04:15

and i'm not sure it's anything

Aug 01 04:15

anyway, page updated

Aug 01 04:18

XRevan86

sears_hardware: Let's just say, he is known for… having been influenced, so that's not really a surprise. But that doesn't fully explain the big difference in expression.

Aug 01 04:22

XRevan86

sears_hardware: But people who talked to him more than I did (including schestowitz) have a different opinion.

Aug 01 04:23

XRevan86

sears_hardware: So it probably just depends on the circumstance of his state of mind.

Aug 01 04:24

XRevan86

(how many more euphemisms can I employ? one will never know as I'm going to sleep :P)

Aug 01 04:25

sears_hardware

i don't care what he does in his free time but he disappaers from freenode for weeks at a time

Aug 01 04:25

sears_hardware

he comes in a writes an epic blog post and i go sign up for remotes and it's cool then it's crickets

Aug 01 04:25

XRevan86

sears_hardware: Doesn't he chat in #freenode, I got that impression from CrystalMath.

Aug 01 04:26

CrystalMath

well not every day

Aug 01 04:27

CrystalMath

and i'm not there every day either

Aug 01 04:27

XRevan86

sears_hardware: So, could ye find an application for Remotes?

Aug 01 04:28

sears_hardware

"he", the man, chats in #freenode, yes

Aug 01 04:28

sears_hardware

but "he", the leader, does not perform leaderly duties consistently

Aug 01 04:28

sears_hardware

XRevan86: well it's essentially a node.js shell so you could use it to perform any application you wanted

Aug 01 04:29

sears_hardware

you could write your node.js code outside of it and paste it in and also run it elsewhere

Aug 01 04:29

sears_hardware

the possibilities are endless ... but that also makes creativity difficult since constraints can actually improve creativity

Aug 01 04:29

XRevan86

sears_hardware: Making something Turing complete can have that effect.

Aug 01 04:30

sears_hardware

the problem is it's launched and then abandoned

Aug 01 04:30

sears_hardware

there's not a consistent continual investment by a leader

sears_hardware

if it were literally the only website on the internet then yeah i could do a lot with it

sears_hardware

but with so many alternative places to spend my time why focus on something that's abandoned

XRevan86

sears_hardware: That's kind of the problem, Remotes is not special.

sears_hardware

it doesn't have to be special

sears_hardware

it just has to have someone that cares

sears_hardware

if someone cared and was there on the daily helping it grow it could become special or branch into special things

sears_hardware

but the leader just releases and abandons it

sears_hardware

that can't grow

XRevan86

I have a VPS, so I'm not really looking for such sandboxes, but I know they are around in plenty.

sears_hardware

maybe i should apply to become remotes steward

Aug 01 04:33

sears_hardware

there's some speculation as to how much wealth the crown prince actually has

XRevan86

sears_hardware: Why should anyone use that over some IRC bot on node.js executed in a sandbox? Maybe even on Shells™ itself.

sears_hardware

shells.com has no free tier

sears_hardware

remotes does :)

XRevan86

Oh, I've no idea what Shells™ is for either then :D

Aug 01 04:35

sears_hardware

XRevan86: it's virtual (graphical) desktop

Aug 01 04:37

sears_hardware

XRevan86: https://media.ccc.de/v/3519-live-keynote-by-alex-lee-and-zlatan-todoric-from-shells-com here is the crown prince's brother giving an official talk about it at openSUSE conference

Aug 01 04:37

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-media.ccc.de - Live: Keynote by Alex Lee and Zlatan Todoric from shells.com

Aug 01 04:38

XRevan86

sears_hardware: Whatever, let's go back to Remotes. The way I imagine something like that would work is bits of code saved as applets of sorts and then been executed indefinitely or periodically.

Aug 01 04:42

sears_hardware

XRevan86: yes my remotes irc bot stays online all day

Aug 01 04:42

sears_hardware

and i can even save data to disk across restarts

Aug 01 04:42

XRevan86

sears_hardware: How much freedom does it have? It's Turing complete and probably even with Internet access.

Aug 01 04:43

XRevan86

That has potential for disaster. So there must be some barrier, otherwise it would have exploded by now.

Aug 01 04:44

sears_hardware

well, no one uses it

Aug 01 04:44

XRevan86

sears_hardware: I did account for that in my line of questioning :)

Aug 01 04:45

XRevan86

But use for practical purposes is one thing and trying to break it is another.

Aug 01 04:46

XRevan86

What stops one from downloading illegal materials using Shells™ network, saving it to storage and then reporting to the authorities all in one script?

Aug 01 04:47

sears_hardware

XRevan86: well you have to have an account to use remotes and that account could be traced back to you

Aug 01 04:48

XRevan86

sears_hardware: Ah, right, the "I agree to be sensible" thing.

Aug 01 04:48

XRevan86

I can see how that scenario is someone not being sensible.

Aug 01 04:49

sears_hardware

well it doesn't matter if i am not sensible if they can point the finger at me then i face the punishment

Aug 01 04:49

XRevan86

sears_hardware: IP and email addresses are impossible to mitigate as we know.

Aug 01 04:50

sears_hardware

XRevan86: versus a state level actor i would say so

Aug 01 04:50

XRevan86

sears_hardware: What if the report is not immediate.

Aug 01 04:52

XRevan86

But that's just the most obvious way of exploitation. The possibilities are limitless, after all.

Aug 01 04:54

sears_hardware

yes they are

Aug 01 04:54

sears_hardware

luckily for remotes my attention span is not limitless

Aug 01 04:55

XRevan86

sears_hardware: The Elusive Joe principle saves one's arse yet again.

Aug 01 04:55

XRevan86

I'm pleasantly surprised I don't have to explain that one %).

Aug 01 04:59

XRevan86

(Elusive Joe is called that because no one caught him, which is because no one cared to try)

Ariadne

i don't know if azure will "fail", some companies do use it

Aug 01 11:11

Ariadne

even though, by far, it is the worst cloud offering i've ever tried

Aug 01 11:11

schestowitz

I think the key point is,

schestowitz

how many use it?

schestowitz

from what I see at work, barely anybody

schestowitz

AWS is sort of default in the UK

Ariadne

AWS is default everywhere

schestowitz

outside the UK it's even less likely that Microsoft has much foothold

Ariadne

in the US, it's basically

Ariadne

AWS, Google, everyone else competing for scraps

schestowitz

so they claim to have azure users... but it's hard to actually find them except in press release

schestowitz

the marketing and "trade press" make it sound like Azure is a BIG FORCE

schestowitz

I have just recorded a 32-min video about it

schestowitz

it'll be the next article

Ariadne

Azure is just, it's not a very good offering

Ariadne

the IaaS side is not cost-competitive

Ariadne

all of their PaaS stuff is just strange

schestowitz

Lewis says they lose money

schestowitz

he saw inside material

Ariadne

the only thing I think anyone really uses in Azure is the managed Active Directory stuff

Ariadne

which makes sense

schestowitz

for AD users

schestowitz

which might be waning as a market

Ariadne

LDAP in general is a waning market, AD or otherwise

schestowitz

after the jan-march events many move off outlook/exchange

Ariadne

federated auth ala OAuth2 and SAML is the new hotness

schestowitz

they sat on the incident reports for 3 months

schestowitz

and now they get biden to blame "China" for them

schestowitz

yes, lots of web-based now

schestowitz

its has its own protocols

schestowitz

in web servers microsoft is dying

schestowitz

(iis, windows)

schestowitz

now in email, I suspect, not sure how gmail fares...

Ariadne

windows server is largely positioned as a "legacy" platform

Ariadne

these days

schestowitz

very few machines left with it for Web

schestowitz

a few millions

Ariadne

they want to move those workloads to azure

http://techrights.org/2021/06/29/survey-server-report/

schestowitz

Ariadne

but, azure is not really cost-competitive

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Microsoft Has Become Almost Extinct in Web Servers (and in Servers in General), But the Mainstream Media Rarely — If Ever — Talks About That | Techrights

Ariadne

it makes more sense to just buy windows licenses and bring them to AWS

schestowitz

yes, they start rebranding these as "azure"

schestowitz

netcraft wrote about it last week

schestowitz

that helps them fake "cloud" and "azure" 'growth'

schestowitz

cannibalisation

schestowitz

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | GitHug – A Guest Article by Thomas Grzybowski | Techrights

schestowitz

it's already reported in tandem

schestowitz

and shows that github loses money

schestowitz

they pray they can pull this off

Ariadne

well GitHub primarily loses money because they are giving away free CPU cycles in azure that they get billed for

schestowitz

but it has been years and no real progress

schestowitz

yes

schestowitz

well, that's no way to be viable

Ariadne

so, the "loss" is really hidable with basic accounting tricks

schestowitz

all this "actions"

Ariadne

its all strange to me

schestowitz

Giving away is "easy"... when you have SHAREHOLDERS. Ask Uber :)

Ariadne

i should set up gitlab this week

schestowitz

gitla interface is clean

Aug 01 11:21

schestowitz

its JS is free software, some things don't work without it

Aug 01 11:21

Ariadne

what i don't like about gitlab is that its open core

schestowitz

yes, I am aware and I keep saying that

schestowitz

hence gogs/gitea

schestowitz

the latter's issue is being based in shthub

Ariadne

pleroma had gitlab enterprise, alpine has gitlab community (because alpine rightly refuses to use proprietary software)

schestowitz

but since 2017 (pre-Microsoft) they've said they would deleteGithub

schestowitz

has not happened yet afaik

Ariadne

GNOME have gitlab enterprise, too

schestowitz

KDE/

schestowitz

maybe gitlab the company gives it to them free

schestowitz

it's good promotion for them, same as qt and redhat with rhel

Ariadne

gitlab offered alpine free enterprise license

Ariadne

we declined

schestowitz

"core" makes a two-tiered society

schestowitz

"I live in Norway, I have all the features... you in Somalia have them removed even though it would cost nothing to unlock these..."

schestowitz

it's same with open access

I finally spoke with one of the higher level people at my online bank and they made an exception to the no non-US citizens policy for Mandy.

Aug 01 19:13

DaemonFC

I had to give them a copy of his green card to pull that off though.

Aug 01 19:13

DaemonFC

So he may be one of the few permanent US residents that has an account there.

Aug 01 19:14

DaemonFC

It operates more like a credit union than a bank, so there's interest and they don't have those crazy nuisance fees.

Aug 01 19:14

DaemonFC

The interest on a deposit account will never come close to overcoming inflation, but it will lessen the beating while you need to keep that money liquid.

activelow, The inflation in the US is getting to where I'd call it hyperinflation.

Aug 01 19:17

DaemonFC

There's no precise definition of that term, but loosely once it gets over 15% you've got hyperinflation.

Aug 01 19:17

DaemonFC

Meat and seafood prices have gotten there, and so have some packaged foods.

Aug 01 19:18

DaemonFC

Rent is increasing at a rate of about 6-7% locally on an annual basis. Gasoline is up 40%, or about 10% if you take into account why it was so cheap last year (nobody driving).

Aug 01 19:18

DaemonFC

Overall, I'd say real inflation in the US right now feels closer to 10% on average, which is much higher than the government will fess up to.

Aug 01 19:19

The only restaurant we've been frequenting is the Chinese one for lunch.

Aug 01 19:20

DaemonFC

They subsidize the buffet food by running a casino in the building

Aug 01 19:20

DaemonFC

So it's the cheapest way by far of getting a lot of good sushi.

Aug 01 19:21

DaemonFC

The casino returns so little money to the gamblers that luring people in with cheap buffet food that makes low margins is the business model.

Aug 01 19:21

DaemonFC

So the price model isn't the food. That means that the prices haven't gone up.

DaemonFC

Electricity prices in Illinois are about where they've been all along.

Aug 01 21:02

DaemonFC

Coal has gotten so expensive that they can't sell it into the PJM interconnection and are scrambling to close coal plants early.

Aug 01 21:03

DaemonFC

One shuts down next year in Waukegan, 5 years ahead of schedule.

Aug 01 21:03

activelow

electricity is ~30cents here, petrol/gasoline ~1.50Euros

DaemonFC

Even after Illinois shuts down all but its last coal plant, the state will be a net exporter of electricity.

activelow

per kWh, and per litr

DaemonFC

There will still be one major one that's running for years down by the St. Louis area.

DaemonFC

But that's pretty remarkable. The state went from having a couple dozen to just 1 in under 20 years.

Aug 01 21:05

DaemonFC

The growth is in solar and wind.

The state has been passing laws to implement the requirements of the Paris Agreement on itself for a while now, even while Trump was in the middle of his term.

DaemonFC

So what he wanted to do was not as relevant as it seemed.

activelow

seems electricity in illinois is on 30% of german prices, same with gasoline/petrol, at least +60% to go for you USA

DaemonFC

The states have more collective control over energy policy, and so right away you have 23 states and many cities that wanted Paris and then coal was becoming unprofitable everywhere anyway.

DaemonFC

Thus shutting down in red states.

Aug 01 21:07

activelow

what an irony it is USA minions dictating policy here in germany, to increase energy prices further

Aug 01 21:08

activelow

DaemonFC: imagine if your bills for electricity and gasoline trippled, and this wouldn't be inflation, only alignment to international agreements

Aug 01 21:09

DaemonFC

The US doesn't make agreements that bind itself to do anything.

Aug 01 21:13

DaemonFC

Then it says it pulls out of them because other countries aren't binding themselves to do anything.

Aug 01 21:13

DaemonFC

So we'd be at a competitive disadvantage if we didn't renege on our handshake agreement.

Aug 01 21:14

DaemonFC

Then the election goes the other way because 2-3% of the voters changed their mind once they got a whiff of that guy, and the deal's back on, at least for a few years.

Aug 01 21:14

DaemonFC

Republican Governors would love to be able to sabotage the plan to shutter coal, but they can't do much about it because other states and, for now, the feds, are putting pressure on the market to make the financial side of things unworkable no matter how you cut it.

Aug 01 21:16

DaemonFC

If the market price of coal collapses then that actually corrects for itself because you'll be in a situation where there's too many companies mining it and bidding for less buyers, and then they all pile into bankruptcy court.

Aug 01 21:17

DaemonFC

Then the price skyrockets because less of them survive and there's less competition, leading to higher prices.

Aug 01 21:17

DaemonFC

Same thing is happening with gasoline. We're still at fewer vehicle miles traveled, but the price has surged.

Aug 01 21:18

DaemonFC

While demand plummeted last year, many producers which were on the knife's edge went under and nobody has replaced them yet.

Aug 01 21:18

DaemonFC

The demand for per-mile car insurance has gone up to the point where what was one company with me as an early adopter in 2016 is now 5 companies, and 3 of them are major ones doing business in every state.

Aug 01 21:19

DaemonFC

If you travel less than 16,000 miles per year, you're probably being overcharged if you pay a flat rate. If you travel fewer than 10,000 you're probably being massively overcharged.

Aug 01 21:19

DaemonFC

But the cost of correcting the overcharged situation is privacy, which is worth something. But how much?

Aug 01 21:20

DaemonFC

In my case, I can cut my car insurance by over 67% by paying for miles, not a flat fee.

Aug 01 21:20

DaemonFC

I have to plug a thing into the car though, but that's too big of a price spread to ignore. Especially with my credit. schestowitz talked about this a bit with me the other day.

Aug 01 21:21

DaemonFC

Anyway, these per mile policies are starting to be the one they try to sell unless you opt into a flat rate.

Aug 01 21:21

DaemonFC

And once you see what that is, you'll plug the thing in, most likely.

Aug 01 21:21

DaemonFC

Few people have the kind of commute anymore where they'd be money ahead by flat rate where their insurance just bills them and doesn't know anything much about their driving.

Aug 01 21:22

Aug 01 21:40

Blackrock and Goldman are requiring employees to go back to the office, vaccinated, or resign.

Aug 01 21:42

But that's turning into almost every company that has offices. It seems many of them failed to learn that offices are expensive and pointless, and the company is operated by people looking to get things back to normal where they can have expensive and pointless offices.

Some company took advantage of the fact that so much office space is now unrentable, probably indefinitely, in Chicago.

Aug 01 21:43

DaemonFC

They moved in and put a massive server farm in it, and then put fans on the roof that create so much noise that nobody in the expensive condos for three blocks or so can even sleep anymore.

Aug 01 21:44

DaemonFC

It's just a constant overwhelming hum that the city isn't doing much about.

Aug 01 21:44

DaemonFC

Since there's mortgages on the condos and nobody wants to live in a condo where there's noise, and the real estate market in Chicago is going to bottom out when the real estate market fails soon anyway, they're stuck there even though they can't sleep.

yeah a lot of city office space is going to be vacant as soon as the leases run out. also there will be a lot of management out of jobs... with workers at home you can save the lease expenses, and management won't be needed as worker are working just fine on their own.

I think the mask mandate is going to come back and I think that being vaccinated now only helps to some extent.
