    We'd like to think rights are inviolable, but they are fragile and borne of stability and surplus. When those are threatened, people get more casual with what they'll do for others.

    Also, the very notion of annual meetings has an inappropriate stability baked in. Climate is accelerating, which means the pace of its wrath is not synchronized to budget cycles or the Earth's leisurely path around the sun.

    At this point, the very notion of an annual meeting about climate is a statement of denial. It is essential to meet as often and for as long as is needed to get serious action. It may be uncomfortable for representatives to ask there host nation or company for resources or calendar time, itself the most precious resource, but if those entities are not up to feeling uncomfortable in service of something larger, then THAT is the key obstacle and the smoking gun of denialism.

    Climate change should be making us uncomfortable. It promises much worse than that, and soon. Discomfort helps to set priorities properly. Smoothing over discomfort admits the acceptability of status quo priorities.

    Ask for semi-annual meetings or the right to variable lengths of time to get real points across and obtain serious commitment.

    Survival of the species is on the line, and too many places in the world are hierarchically arranged so that that will be managed by herd thinning in vain hope that's enough to let our most affluent survive at the expense of others. In other words, kindness and human rights will be the first casualties of a society structured to preserve its sociopathic leaders at all costs.

    And, saddest of all, when the rest are gone, the sociopaths will realize they haven't the skill to do much of anything necessary even for survival, and then they will be gone, too. If I thought we were focused on preserving at least our kindest, or smartest, or hardest working people, I might have hope in this regard. But the ones with the bunkers are none of these things, nor will they be able to keep those bunkers in working order long enough for the planet to recover and humanity to thrive again.

  7. Der Grund, weshalb Friedrich Merz Wirtschaftskompetenz zugeschrieben wird, ist ein Bildungsproblem. Die neoliberale Mythologie hat sich so tief in unseren Alltagsverstand eingenistet, dass wir selbst die offensichtlichsten Widersprüche ausblenden.

    Das großartige SURPLUS-Magazin, welches leider seine Reichweite durch eine Paywall selbst untergräbt, hat eine Liste wirklich guter Bücher zusammengestellt, die gut dagegen helfen. (Ihr wisst, wo Ihr die Artikel ohne Paywall findet)

    Kate Raworths "Doughnut Economics" liest sich weg wie ein spannender Roman, weil auf jeder Seite Aha-Momente warten und die Geduld durch eine faszinierende Aussicht auf ein Wirtschaften nach menschlichen Maßstäben belohnt wird.

    Dana Meadows "Die Grenzen des Denkens" ist ein ähnlicher Eye-Opener was komplexe Systeme angeht.

    Wenn das Hirn einmal angefixt ist, von der Idee, dass es auch anders - und besser! - ginge, öffnen sich völlig neue Perspektiven. dann fällt auch das Hoffen wieder etwas leichter ;)

    Lest und widersprecht den Bullshittern! Nur dann kommen wir weiter.

  8. A quick mod in a ne(to me) style and yet another MD59 has moved to the 9̶0̶c̶m̶ 70cm amateur band.
    This one was Televa branded, which makes it especially neat.

  12. Saw some bandsaw tunable UHF band pass filters at a hamfest.
    Did not buy any, as I already have one or two waiting for their date with the bandsaw.

  13. Btw, princess auto (the Markham one, at least) has very basic but not terrible soprano ukuleles for $35.

    They're Hola ones that sell on Amazon for $50+. These have Amazon ASIN numbers on the box, so they're probably overstock/returns

  14. #FTI pushes for tougher steel checks
    "the #Thai #steel #industry faces signif challenges due to China's #production #surplus. #China produces 1.1bil tonnes of steel p.a., w domestic dd at ~900mil tons. This leads to an excess of 200mil tons being #exported, particularly to #Thailand & oth #ASEAN c'tries. This influx, incl'g #substandard steel, remains a major concern.. ~30,000tons of #substandardsteel products hv been imported, w additional shipments continuing to arrive"

  15. To follow up on this...

    #Neoclassical #economics, jumping off from #Marx, conflated #economic #rent and #profit in order to justify this kind of behavior.

    TP=NSV+ER+Ext+M
    Where:

    TP = Total Profit, or Neoclassical profit, or #Marxist Returns to #Capital.

    NSV = Natural Surplus Value (difference between the natural price and the cost of production). This is Classical Profit.

    ER = Economic Rent (surplus due to privileged control over a scarce factor of production)

    Ext = #Externalities (surplus generated by offloading production costs onto others) AKA #Pollution

    M = #Monopoly (surplus generated by manipulating #supply and #demand, typically through control of the #market)

    Only NSV is what you would call "legitimate", as the #producer #surplus is paired with a #consumer surplus - their ratio relative to the supply curves.

    Now, all the others _reduce_ the consumer surplus and are therefore #theft.

    Every single #technology #company (#TechCompany) - no... every single #company #profitable enough to be widely known, and many that aren't widely known, is _only_ profitable because of theft.

    What's more, every action of #tech companies this millennia (including offering services for #free) has been designed to engage in this theft.

  16. Have any of you folks encountered thus type Soviet waveguide relay before?
    Looking for:
    A pinout for the connector
    A datasheet with the specs for driving it
    Connector type.
    This is X-band based on the waveguide dimensions.

  17. The RF heart of an old CT1 analog cordless phone.
    So those 3x dielectric filters are all it has for a duplexer.
    2x LMX1501 PLL's for TX and RX oscillators.
    MC3372 FM IF on the receive side.
    Maybe I'll bother beeping it put some day.
    I do have 950-1400MHz VCO's in that case... 😁

    Sure, LMX1501 is rated to 1.1GHz only, but so is the MB1501 PLL and MB501 prescaler used in tons of Nokia equipment and those push fine to 1300MHz hamband.

  24. @pluralistic @Mer__edith

    This is spot on.

    It's so common it's as if there were an underlying ideology behind it, driving such behavior and being supported by laws & norms.

    >"Some people are users of #capitalism but the majority of the population is the *subject* of capital... This is not a matter of individual choice.

    Most of the ways that "free market representative #democracy" interpolates our lives makes determinations that shape our access to resources to opportunity are made behind the scenes in ways we probably don’t even know."<

    It's not hard to miss this when it's your first rodeo paying attention (aka younger quartiles). However, having been in several successive iterations of this cycle and heard the same specific, narrow complaint focus aimed at other #evolution-driven innovation that came & went, you can imagine that watching people bump around the perimeter of the problem again, while ignoring the causal upstream sources in the #system is a growing frustration.

    The #media plays the same role, whether it's describing the Wall St narrative excuse for the latest boom & bust, or telling us what the latest economic, #political, or cultural #fear de jour we should be consumed by.

    The same natural laws that make #disinformation impossible to contain & counter with corrections also work to ensure that any scheme for "redistribution" of #surplus in an organization will meet the same fate.

    All complex adaptive systems will go through a phase change & irreversible structural #reorg when internal imbalances exceed the requirements for a pareto-optimal type harmony.

    If the enemy brings tanks to your infantry battle, you had better change tactics -which will now include tanks, btw.
