I just read an argument to drop recycling in favour of landfills from a well funded magazine — Insane how you can pursue any argument just by cherrypicking facts and you get away with it because debates are based on drowning others with datapoints, instead of confronting coherent worldviews.
Net zero was—and IS—2030. We need to pull something off in a few years

and then [okay this is for old people; bear with me] remember the failed promise of web 2.0 with pipes and services talking to each other. this was fragile because each service can break the entire thing and has to expose API. here there's no API because we just aggregate from files. RSS was right
What if shared transactional email with atproto labelers & @roost.tools? “Like Let’s Encrypt but for mail server reputation”, says @scottlanoue.com I told Scott it felt like the right kind of weird. He’s done a full write up in the community forum discourse.atprotocol.community/t/cooperativ...
I keep reading people saying pacifism is bad because you need to fight and stuff. Come on! Pacifism was never putting the other cheek, but rather refusing to abuse others and being eager to discuss!
I’m going to wheatpaste this article to telephone poles until everyone reads it
When I'm using coding agents and LLMs extensively in some tasks, I feel way more resistance to grappling with difficult, uneven problems in others. As if I get recalibrated to expect ease, effortlessness, velocity in everything. Not good! Curious how you deal with this, if you feel it too.
It's not just that we live under private government of the monopolies, but it's private government by casinos. #Rebuild

@gusiluztrenes.bsky.social Sabes si, técnicamente, ¿es factible hoy en día que algunos Euroduplex de SNCF lleguen hasta Figueres V. o necesitan ASFA también? Lo inverso (AVE hasta Perpignan, entiendo que no es posible tanto por señalización como electrificación). ¡Gracias!

The network was set on the principles that BR through its EPS and ENS subsidiaries would be able to make an 8% return on investment through the routes. Such a constraint had put paid to motorail services (Kensington-Narbonne etc) but sleeper trains were still seen as feasible.
Here's a fundamental problem for real expansion of (night) international trains in Europe: a cheaper, quicker access to suitable trains.
Jon Worth@jonworth.eu · 10mo agoScale. You need to make a larger order. All the players are small. And they refuse to coordinate with each other into some sort of consortium.
Are those firms capable of seeing beyond the end of their own noses to sort out some sort of consortium or joint purchase? HELL NO Is the EU capable of working towards this sort of solution? ALSO NO (because the state owned railway companies want the EU to work on high speed instead)
In our - very limited - historical experience of democracy, (i) states rot from the centre-right (ii) and it's contagious (via geography/powerful exemplar states)
✈️ NEW: Spain could raise up to €2.8 billion extra for sustainable aviation by matching the taxes other Europeans put on airline tickets with simply a small surcharge per ticket. 🧵⤵️
Really can't stress this enough: When a city has 1,000 self-driving cars, they might seem like fun, innocuous novelties. But at 100,000+ it's another story entirely.
David Zipper@davidzipper.bsky.social · 12mo agoAs autonomous vehicles spread across the US, they could turn urban streets into a congested, chaotic mess. But it’s not inevitable. In @vox.com, I proposed specific ways cities can future-proof themselves for self-driving cars. 🧵
