You're using teams. Modern teams is built on Skype, which is why it's shit.

Aw, crapitalism will break because line cannot always go up.

Cry me a fucking river. Humanity is a cancer, and we need to be about half our current population. Yeah, we're not gonna like it when we drop that population. Our kids, my daughter, are going to have it fucking tough. But if we want to survive long term... We gotta stop.

It was a term coined to describe the step-by-step process modern tech platforms go through:

1. be good, get customers, grow
2. get large enough to corner market, concentrate on profits
3. get large enough to move to politicise their approach, drive out competition through aggressive tactics, and lock in consumers
4. drive more profit through dark patterns and ensure nobody wins but the stakeholders

It's specifically that, and there wasn't a word that described that process previously, as it's only something that's possible in a modern, "web scale" worldwide platform.

This is illegal in UK and Europe...

Wrong bird. Picture has 4 combs, on the horse there's 3.

Ahem... I think you mean, "hexagons are the bestagons"

I think they meant to say "Narrowly avoiding injuring a pedestrian", but that's really bad proofreading.

You watch, I'm going to have some horrific spelling or grammar issue now :P

It's quite spectactular. I think the politcs on both sides are awful, and I really feel for the civillians who are just trying to live their lives under this bullshit. Both sides need to step up and take responsibility for their major, horrific fuckups and problems; and the west in general needs to take responsibility for kicking people out of their homes to make homes for others... but also both sides just need to stop fucking hurting each other for a minute in order to progress.

ExplainXKCD to the rescue :D

I love this concept... it takes the humanity out of alien/foreign/different races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let's work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don't communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can't concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you've got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines...

So I googled what the background level of Tritium is in seawater. The general consensus is that this various based upon where in the world you are, but it's typically around 500 - 750 becquerels of tritium per m^3^. The amount they're releasing is 190 becquerels of tritium per m^3^, or in other words, they're reducing the average tritum radioactivity of the water...

So why is this news? Why haven't the journalists gone, "Stupid people don't understand how radioactivity and volumetrics work, and are complaining about the Japanese releasing water that is so highly treated it's cleaner than the ocean average."?

--edit-- Not going to edit the above, but @zifk@sh.itjust.works correctly pointed out I'd got my units wrong... and then they got their units wrong replying. And that's why we need good journalism who can actually look into this fucking stuff properly, and give reasoned responses!
