Seems like the top comments are pushing back on his Hamas-sourced stat in a pretty succesfull way.

I'm really disappointed with this stance of his.

Wow, someone with IQ>100. We don't got a lot of those in these discussions.
Where do you think the money that doesn't go to salaries go? What an odd question.
Re:Offshore Wind Has a Cable Problem on Saturday November 04, 2023 @04:02PM (#38144597)
For what exactly?
Re:Offshore Wind Has a Cable Problem on Saturday November 04, 2023 @03:12PM (#38144172)
Not necessarily, but it it's something people need to be aware of, since countries tend to act in their down interests.

I was being gaslighted about this for a few hours; that's the remnants of comments you're seeing now.

"Apart from dating, there is no better education in human behaviour"

My office experiences have been vastly different, but I kind of agree with the basic idea.

a) eh, that's not a pleasant conversation, b) Yeah don't listen to sossepropaganda (that's a technical term).

I responded to an insult. And I was being factual. Please reflect on your own behavior.

And no, no there is no BBC-like distinction here. Ørsted is company run by the Danish government, period. The link above should be proof enough to any thinking person.

Re:Offshore Wind Has a Cable Problem on Saturday November 04, 2023 @01:50PM (#38143437)
> Ørsted is not a state company.

Except it is and you are wrong.

(I'm Swedish.)

I think a CBA could make sense for Klarna, but not necessarily for Spotify.

Separately: A company with a CBA is a red flag to me. I think that CBAs and unions is what have kept tech salaries artificially low here, compared to e.g. US tech salaries.

Re:Offshore Wind Has a Cable Problem on Saturday November 04, 2023 @01:12PM (#38142998)
The Danish government owns 50.01% of Ørsted. It's effectively a state company. So, when you think Ørsted, instead think Denmark.

Denmark is sometimes giving Norway a run for being the last Soviet state.

Please own your mistake.

For Altman, it’s not about money, either.

Yeah sure. If he doesn't end up being a billionaire in a decade I'll eat my shoes on a livefeed. I'll post the link here.

A few minutes ago you thanked me for my correction. This is disgusting behavior on your behalf.

I'm in Sweden. Religion here has sort of faded into the background. Very few people are religious. We observe the religion here more or less as as a cultural thing. It's something we do at births, school exam celebrations and burials but not much else.

Bload soaked club? Yes, a few hundred years ago.

Re:GPS Receiver Circuit Board Design on Saturday November 04, 2023 @12:15PM (#38142410)
I mean, both GPS and WiFi was super exciting stuff in the early 2000s. There was a GPS magazine for GPS terminal enthusiasts (!). It's still sort of around: https://www.gpsworld.com/.
You have taken this photo from https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/i-was-elected-50-years-ago-to...

... where he says: "50 years ago today, I became the youngest-ever elected official in the state of Michigan, the first 18-year-old to do so."

US is larger than Michigan, I think.

> Religion, sigh.

So, no, not all religions are violent and/or harmful.

I've been an devout atheist since about the age of 10. That doesn't stop me from seeing that:

a) some religions are relatively harmless and mostly helpful to their believers

b) some religions are very destructive to everyone

I don't think we should go much further from here.

OK, now they have completely lost it.
