Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When I hear of bailout money being used by CEOs to give themselves bonuses, couldn't the government buy the debt and make sure the money is spent the right way?
0·15 hours agoSeems convoluted. Why not just let the business venture fail?
And if the basic function of the business is so integral to the function of society then it should not be a business, but should be a regulated administrered aspect of government.
If a business functioning is so important it needs to get bailed out, in this case it should be nationalized.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it possible to make some form of passive income from sidehustles?
0·3 days agoSure. I’ve sold pizza on the side of the road. I grow vanilla. People in my neck of the hood do all kinds of shit as side hustles.

Technology@lemmy.ml•China Targets Solid-State Battery Dominance by 2030
0·3 days agoSuch a weird framing. Can it really be targeting when the broader “manufacturing West” basically self sabatoged from 2010 onward when it comes to batteries and electrification?
It’s not so much China “targeting dominance”, it’s that theyre walking in an open lane which western countries ceded decades ago. And it’s a lane paying crazy dividends. Dividends which were obvious 60 years ago.
This is mostly just western countries refusing to do anything material to shift from petroleum economies.
Lies. Nobody asked for this

Technology@lemmy.ml•Chinese researchers say missile lidar model can spot US F-35 at up to 61.5km
0·4 days agoYeah thats unsurprising. SPL has been rolling out in the US for a while and usually gets sold for very wide area collects at low density, simply because you can fly so much higher. I’m not sure it really found its footing there, considering how much better/ cheaper other technologies coming from multicamera systems like vexcels have come, simply because lidar can rarely compete on price.
I did a pepsi challenge using a few systems a couple years back. I think we had full waveform, SPL, and then some leica system in the mix. SPL was the loser, but in that context. It makes total sense if you need to map over a long distance but small area, fairly cheaply/ efficiently.

News@lemmy.world•Tennessee inmate still alive after being administered two lethal injections, her lawyer says
0·4 days agoIts a fundamentally reactionary tautology. Laws serves to protect but does not bind. Because I’m the one engaging in the behavior I have a problem with others doing, its fine.

0·4 days agoI don’t know what else to call it then, when a society collectively engages in a behavior we would individually characterize as sociopathic. And sure, there are degrees to these things, but the woman isn’t roaming the streets continuing to kill. She’s already behind bars and has been for decades. If you believe such a thing as justice exists, it was served long, long ago. Whatever this society is engaging in, its not justice, and its closer to what the accused did that it is to whatever could undo what the accused did.

0·4 days agoShe tortured a girl for hours, bashed her skull in with a rock, then carried a piece of the skull in her pocket, showed it to friends and bragged about the murder
Seems sociopathic.
I also think this weird “tit for tat” obsession with what amounts to a medieval concept of justice is also sociopathic. That because someone has killed, that some how killing them undoes the initial injustice, well, its sociopathic. There is also ample evidence that it doesn’t accomplish any of is purported goals. A society, the response to a killing is to create more killing?
Seems sociopathic.
