Agreed, kind of a bold assertion to throw out without proof against a highly rated international charity

Looks like there were some issues with transparency 5-10 years ago (Google "Pro Publica Red Cross"), but I'm not finding any recent follow-ups and they're scoring high marks for transparency now. They pretty consistently spend ~90% of every dollar donated on programs and are generally well-respected.

Are they a perfect charity? Probably not. But are they doing good? Absolutely.

If you want to donate money elsewhere, by all means go for it. Doctors Without Borders, and World Central Kitchen are great international charities, and local food banks in impacted communities can make your dollar go further than just about anyone else.

But also remember money isn't the only donation the Red Cross accepts - as with any major disaster, blood will be in short supply, and there is unequivocally no better network for blood donations than the Red Cross.

This complex will be world’s first large-scale “green steel” project, according to H2 Green Steel, the Swedish company behind the multi-billion-dollar mill.

Electric Arc Furnaces everywhere - "am I a joke to you?"

Sarcasm aside, I know EAF has its challenges, but this article really acts like coal-fired plants are the only alternative to hydrogen.

The boycott makes a innocent sufferer of the bus company. Had the company defiled city and state laws its franchise would have been canceled. The quarrel of the Negroes is with the law. It is wrong to hold the company hostage.

The white man's economic artillery is far superior, better emplaced, and commanded by more experienced gunners.

Second, the white man holds all the offices of government machinery. There will be white rule for as far as the eye can see.

Are these not the facts of life?

Let us be specific, concrete. What is the cost is the bus boycott to the Negro community? Does any Negro leader doubt that the resistance to the registration of Negro voting has been increased? Is economic punishment of the bus company - an innocent hostage to the laws and customs of Alabama - worth the price of a block to the orderly registration of Negro voters?

What I'm trying to say here is, fuck off Washington Post with your "why don't you protest the way I want, quietly in the corner" bullshit.

Just want to add, not only is it a ridiculous number because of sales, there's also free games that wreck the numbers.

Glancing at my unplayed library, sure there's a bunch of leftovers from Humble Bundles I got ages ago for what amounted to a fraction of retail, but there's also things like BioShock 1&2 Remastered - games that were given out FOR FREE to owners of the original. I've PLAYED the originals, but I assume the powers that be would tell you I have $60 worth of unplayed games sitting there since I haven't opened the remasters.

Yeah but it's a lot harder to paint climate activists as the bad guys when you say things like "they souped our glass and powdered our rocks", so better to just lie, right?

Are you perhaps an LLM in disguise?

On that page, you can choose "version history" to get their list of changes, unfortunately for this one all they put was "bug fixes"...

Good news though, this is an open source project, so easy enough to just go to the source...

For a company who has a whole schtick going where they read and critique other companies' privacy policies, this is pretty ludicrous.

IDK how that's possible, pretty sure I saw they outlawed climate change earlier this month, soo.....

Not sure why you had to bring Justin Timberlake into this but you're right.

Worst thing? Someone with access to your password can now break into the associated account, and use that access to snoop or potentially permanently lock you out. E2EE data could be lost forever if they change the password and 2FA.

More likely? Unless you reuse passwords, or the associated site has been recently compromised, pretty low odds of compromise. If you suspect your 2FA has leaked, just get a new secret, easy peasy. Most reputable sites should alert you to a login on a new device, potentially giving you time to react or alerting you of snooping.

If your secret leaks without context on what site it's associated with, then unless your name is Taylor Swift, odds of someone associating it to a site, let alone the matching password, are astronomical.

Following up on an paper posted earlier this week on disproportionate carbon emissions based on income. This article, by one of the paper's authors, proposes the possibility of imposing carbon tax on investment income as a more equitable means of influencing emissions.

Instead of putting the responsibility for cutting emissions on consumers, maybe policies should more directly tie that responsibility to corporate executives, board members, and investors who have the most knowledge and power over their industries. Based on our analysis of the consumption and income benefits produced by greenhouse gas emissions, I believe a shareholder-based carbon tax is worth exploring.
