Also, for the most part, editors mostly rely on other editors to use their best judgment. Yes, we might do some light editing or have a discussion on IRC, but again we try generally defer to each other's knowledge and expertise.
[21:38:51] <Bytram> looking further, it appears most of the "Breaking News" (BN) stories were *submitted* with that category and the editors failed to notice and you are seeing the ones that slipped through. I know I've had to correct quite a few submissions! As it was explained to me, BN should be reserved for something that you might interrupt a corporate board meeting for. Given that RBG's passing occurred near the end of Trump's presidency and gave him a
[21:16:30] <Bytram> takyon's story got 246 comments; mine got 45.
[21:15:33] <Bytram> *my* most recent "Breaking News" story was 5 years ago (on 2016-06-30): https://soylentnews.org
[21:13:25] <systemd> ^ 03U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dies at 87 - SoylentNews
[21:13:24] * boru absconds.
[21:13:21] <Bytram> Runaway1956: Actually, the most recent "Breaking News" story was posted almost a year ago (on 2020-09-17) by takyon: https://soylentnews.org
[21:13:17] <boru> Anyway, I could waffle on about this subject for a while, but I had better get my arse off to bed.
[21:11:38] <boru> Indeed.
[21:11:35] <boru> I've come across them. Most have never gone without anything any day in their lives.
[21:11:22] <AzumaHazuki> these clowns actually think they're rugged individualists. they think they'll last at most more than a couple of weeks to a month
[21:10:57] <AzumaHazuki> there is a certain subset of people who seem to want this to happen because they think "those people" are holding them back (whoever "those people" are)
[21:10:26] <boru> Indeed. Don't get me started.
[21:10:17] <boru> I think those practical skills are something you should nurture.
[21:10:09] <AzumaHazuki> i just have to laugh at all the idiot gibbertarians who see this oncoming crisis as something that will let them "be free."
[21:09:59] <t3> starvation will kill the majority in a sudden collapse, the environment isn't able to support us even if we all knew how to live in it
[21:09:50] <boru> He has some funny ideas.
[21:09:43] <boru> Err, disagree. Strongly.
[21:09:36] <boru> Whilst you'll probably agree with the outlooks and philosophies of Kurt Saxon, his survivalist fiction is actually quite accurate, imho.
[21:09:32] <AzumaHazuki> maybe i'll go join him in a few years. i know some things about woodworking and construction, a lot about food, cooking, soil science, and medicine...
[21:09:10] <AzumaHazuki> ...you know, my nutty little brother may actually be onto something. latest news is he bought a trailer and is headed up to central-northern NY. i know he's been doing urban gardening a while
[21:08:51] <boru> Those surviving now will continue to survive "after". The rich and fat will be the ones who have a hard time adjusting.
[21:08:16] <boru> In this case, I agree.
[21:08:07] <AzumaHazuki> good. i'd say he deserves to and i hope he continues farming and prospering as much as possible for him
[21:08:06] <boru> For many people on the planet, life won't change very much.
[21:07:48] <boru> And he'll probably survive longer than Jeff Bezos.
[21:07:20] <AzumaHazuki> put it this way: the poor farmer in Ghana is not culpable for any of this compared even to one of us in the first world, let alone for example Jeff Bezos
[21:07:07] <boru> You survive or you don't, regardless of whether you are pond scum or a hero of humanity.
[21:06:33] <boru> Innocence is a very human construct, and quite subjective.
[21:06:01] <AzumaHazuki> not a whimper. long, protracted moans of agony. and as always the innocent will suffer most
[21:05:55] <boru> Slow decay.
[21:05:52] <boru> It'll be like Rome, or Germany after WW1.
[21:05:40] <boru> I think you'll see civilisation going out not with a bang, but with a whimper, to paraphrase another work.
[21:05:24] <AzumaHazuki> but seeing the world descend the rest of the way into savagery...this serves no learning purpose for me. of all people in this room i know how awful humans can be
[21:04:47] <AzumaHazuki> that's what has me scared honestly. i'm fine with my shadow outliving me in the aftermath of a close-range nuclear blast
[21:04:46] <boru> In such a catastrophic scenario, that is.
[21:04:31] <boru> I oft think things will end up like in Lucifer's Hammer; you'll get bands of people who shouldn't survive surviving because of opportunistic tribalism.
[21:00:42] * chromas stocks up on bo'le caps
[21:00:14] <t3> sudden nuclear annihilation is a possibility, but a slow byzantine collapse is more likely IMO
[20:59:26] <AzumaHazuki> and the people who least deserve to survive are the most likely to
[20:59:14] <AzumaHazuki> oh, agreed, but the "correction" will likely kill several billion of us while it happens
[20:56:43] <boru> You need to tear down a broken system to build something better in its place.
[20:56:15] <boru> In some respects, our very broken system is somewhat ingrained in our civilisation, or at least, what our civilisation has become in modern times.
[20:55:43] <AzumaHazuki> that kind of collapse will take most of humanity with it, is the problem. our current civilization is both massively interconnected and incredibly fragile
[20:54:57] <t3> and they will be replaced with those that manage to collapse less or not at all
[20:54:19] <t3> civilization will not collapse, just the current societies
[20:51:42] <AzumaHazuki> i just hope like hell i die quickly. need to replace the metoclopramide in my suicide kit in a few years if i'm unlucky
[20:51:19] <AzumaHazuki> stuff like this is why i'm not all that upset about civilization likely collapsing in ~20 years
[20:38:40] <t3> the entire point of politics is to disable rational thought and replace it with groupthink, it is not a problem that can be solved on SN-scale
[20:35:25] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Mars Rover Comes Up Empty in First Try at Getting Rock Sample - https://sylnt.us - I-can't-dig-that
[20:25:56] <AzumaHazuki> specifically, thinking about what their Hells are going to be like. maybe they'll not only burn, but the demons around them will tell them the flames are a Chinese/Democrat hoax
[20:25:24] <AzumaHazuki> i'm thinking more about the people who deliberately spread misinformation
[20:18:54] <t3> so a perfectly good poster on a space science topic might shitpost on compsci topics out of boredom
[20:17:50] <AzumaHazuki> boy that's for goddamn sure
[20:17:41] <t3> I think part of the problem with running stories across a broad spectrum is that expertise and interest aren't evenly spread among users
[20:05:10] <AzumaHazuki> well, the good people have mostly been driven off, the fanatics and shitposting trolls are more energetic than ever, and no one in power seems to give half a rotten weasel gonad
[19:38:54] <Teckla> (In terms of story selection)
[19:38:45] * Teckla is suffering from politics exhaustion, and honestly wishes SN were more nerdy and less politicksy
[19:36:37] <chromas> no remember he moved them over to the hospitals so it doesn't count
[19:35:37] <Runaway1956> the guy who killed ten thousand old people kinda transcends politics though
[19:35:10] <Runaway1956> or something

[19:04:43] <boru> raxas; Heh, it's a fairly well understood system. I've taken my telescopes out to have a look at it and image it.
[18:48:04] <janrinok> There have been many Breaking News stories - terrorist attacks, times of military tension, even the earlier COVID stories when people were still trying to sort out what was happening.
[18:42:56] <janrinok> ... and you had to go back to 2014 to find that example?

[07:44:40] <FatPhil> yeah, no bon jovi in japan
[07:41:48] <chromas> They use real metal?
[07:39:50] <FatPhil> Curious factoid: In the two years between April 2017 and March 2019, 100 percent of the metals required to manufacture the approximately 5,000 gold, silver and bronze medals were extracted from small electronic devices contributed by people from all over Japan.
[07:37:06] <FatPhil> yeah, that column heading annoyed me too
[07:37:00] <FatPhil> having a scaling factor of 250:1 makes it easy for us to beat the USA, just using our women's fencers.
[07:29:27] <inz> Shouldn't the third column be capita per medals
[07:28:42] <inz> Nice, Fin's way down (but still ahead of US, I believe)

[06:43:24] <FatPhil> On a good night I can see 10 things in the sky.
[06:43:23] <boru> Ouch.
[06:43:12] <FatPhil> There was something to look at last year that had -ve magnitude, and I still couldn't see it :(
[06:43:02] <boru> As for the meteor shower, yeah, you'd want to be somewhere a bit darker with a view of as much sky as possible, and look at the zenith.
[06:42:29] <boru> If you have a pair of binoculars, you'll quite easily see it, even in an urban environment.

[06:42:01] <FatPhil> boru++ shame I live in urban haze :(
[06:39:36] <boru> It's quite a rare phenomenon, since there are only 7 stars that we know of which produce recurrent novae.
[06:38:53] <boru> If you're out tomorrow night/Wednesday morning for the peak of the Persied meteor shower, it's something to look at.

[06:38:11] <boru> Oh, cool. RS Oph has nova'd again: http://ooruri.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp ; from mag +12.0 to +4.6 now, apparently, making it a naked eye nova, if you're interested.

[06:35:02] <boru> The IP release each night is probably the most annoying thing about them.
[06:34:42] <boru> They don't care what you do with your connection traffic-wise, and they deliver the stated bandwidth with impressively low latency 24/7. 2-3 outages per year.
[06:33:49] <boru> I've been lucky with my last two ISPs, in most respects. They are considerably less shit than those before.
[06:32:31] <boru> Internet Service Philosophers; who'd have thought.
[06:32:10] <boru> Heh, indeed.
[06:32:04] <boru> ISPs being crap is a universal invariant, it seems.
[06:31:43] <raxas> it's rather a philosophical problem: nothing permanent in this world
[06:31:00] <raxas> I pay for static address here but it's still unstable time to time, especially on IPv6
[06:20:31] <boru> It's just a bit annoying.
[06:20:27] <boru> Nothing dynamic DNS can't solve, naturally.
[06:20:01] <boru> Indeed. I suppose they're just trying to mitigate people serving at home without paying for a static lease.
[06:14:52] <chromas> That's not the type of release you want to be getting every night
[05:48:59] <boru> i.e. not slighting you by ignoring your greeting.
[05:48:02] <boru> Bytram; my ISP forces IP release each night, so whilst I might appear to be here, it's just my auto-ghost script clearing the previous session.
[05:44:55] <boru> Blithering idiot.
[05:44:46] <boru> You do nothing other than continuously reinforce your stereotype.
