  • I don’t disagree with your criticisms of the UN. They’re not a perfect organization, and UN membership shouldn’t be some standard of sovereignty. However, diplomats have always been able to talk whenever they want, the problem that the League of Nations and then the UN tried to address was all the backrooms conversations nations used to have that were part of the causes that lead up to the first world war. Having an international platform every nation needs to at least listen to is better than the alternative. Arguably, untill now the UN has succeeded, there hasn’t been a WWIII.


  • This is a tangent of that but I thought superposition was the state. The state of being some amount of many states at once. It isn’t positive and negative at the same time but some amount of positive and some amount of negative for some period of time. It’s still one state that is just somewhere between a number of states.







  • I’m typing this on a device that I carry around with me all day, who’s entire purpose is to collect as much data as possible and deliver it back to the company I bought it from. All in order to influence me to buy more of their stuff. In a way, yeah capitalism is always in the room with me. It kinda sucks.


  • Robotics can be dangerous, don’t jump into the deep end of robotics without learning how to use electronics first. Definitely start with electronics and move up to robotics once you have a lot of electronic failures under your belt. I would suggest that you keep robotics in mind as you learn.

    Many people provided you with great places to start with electronics. Start there, because robotics are electronics with motion and that’s more dangerous. Motion can hurt someone or start a fire. Especially for as a hobby I’d be most concerned about accidentally starting a fire because of bad code and poor failure planning.

    If you pick this up and get some experience with electronics, you’ll begin to understand a lot of the things that can go wrong with robotics before they start a fire. Also this can get very expensive, you will destroy components. It’s inevitable. I may be speaking from experience.

    I was like that too until I realized that all media is compressed in some way. A digital recording is only ever as precise as the analog to digital converter that was used in the studio. Analog is only as precise as it’s smallest distinguishable change. Eventually enough is enough and I was only wasting money.



  • Actually most “responsible” jobs won’t drug test because it becomes too difficult to find people who are experienced enough to take on that responsibility. If they did they wouldn’t be able to staff a shift. As long as they’re well enough to do their work everyone will look the other way.

    On the other hand, jobs where the employee is easily replaceable will be more likely to be drug tested. There are people literally begging for the chance at a paycheck. It’s not really about safety or morals and more about employers maintaining authority over employees.
