That’s quite a strawman you’ve framed, or at best a non sequitur.

rsync is thirty years old. It has been mature and reliable. But now we’re victim-blaming someone that hasn’t (yet) cleaned up somebody else’s mess?

No, those are the actual stakes being discussed. Not every time? That’s not what I said, so who is building strawmen?

I’m not talking about buses, I’m talking about cars, which is where you started before you got called on it.

This feels like coming from a very car centric mind set. The idea that a individual in their car should be able to get to point A to B without any change or obstruction. The idea that a person inconvenienced in their car is the worst sin comparable to the inconvenience to the walker or biker.

As opposed to the complete opposite? Should someone be able to obstruct another’s passage without bearing any responsibility for the consequences of that person not reaching their destination on time?

Literal victim blaming.

What about a middle ground where everyone gets where they’re going safely? No one should be obstructing anyone.

Both sides: a middle ground fallacy.

Between two cars (to keep the argument more equitable), if I’m pulling out into a lane and I see a car coming, far enough away that I can safely get out and up to speed without obstructing them… but I know I’m going to be stopping several times… why wouldn’t I just let them go? That way, we both get to do what we need to do. Why would I need to mess with them? In a situation where I didn’t know they were coming, like say they came around a bend behind me, why wouldn’t I just let them go around me after the first stop? Stop, pick the person up, and then wave them around me. If I don’t know this person or have any grudge against them, why wouldn’t I?

To make a completely different argument (where both parties share equitable risk and responsibility), you mean. The defining characteristic of this discussion is the asymmetric risk and responsibility. That’s the whole point you’re ignoring.

Basic decency is all I’m asking, from all sides. The world is bad enough as it is. Why make things worse for someone when it gains you nothing tangible to do so?

All I’m getting here is more victim blaming: get out of your way, they’re making you late, they deserved it. If that’s not your intent, that’s still how it sounds.

Being avoidably late is the same level of concern for you as being killed?

I really hope you’re right. I also hope there’s an opportunity to observe and measure the impact to confirm.

Yeah, fully agree.

It’s also likely to impact more living things (plankton, seaweed, fish, reefs) in the same space, given the locations likely to be considered, either due to biodensity or increased heat spread because of high water conductivity.

True, but that’s my point: there will be local impacts that aren’t evenly distributed.

The total effect is negligible, but even with high conductivity, local impact could be destructive enough. Even with an infinitely large copper pan, I wouldn’t put my hand on the part that’s on a stove’s burner.

If you take local temperatures of the ocean at different latitudes, they won’t all be the mean temperature of the ocean. It isn’t a single massive heat sink.

Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix

This is open class warfare.

This could be a big deal for MS, which is thought to be related to Epstein-Barr.

Ah, good catch.

Never mind AI, MRIs are more important.

At least we have the US Helium Res— dammit, Biden!

The U.S. just sold its helium stockpile. Here’s why the medical world is worried

Helium is needed for MRIs.

Sites can just use CSS.

This is how private equity MBAs have ruined everything.

I’m on PopOS Cosmic, I should make a feature request, but I’ve been busy.

Idk, it had emoji and Unicode and search by name. The Win11 made it worse though. EmojiMart is fine.
