@cdarwin@c.im“Don’t tell me what you value,” Joe Biden was fond of saying.
“Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.”
The ever-expanding budget for bombing Iran makes one thing clear:
the US government doesn’t value its own citizens a bit.
Watching money that should go towards schools and infrastructure and healthcare being spent on death and destruction should make every US taxpayer apoplectic.
Operation Epic Fury indeed.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioI •do• actually expect to see some kind of shift over the next week. I don’t think their “Victory! Now we’re leaving(ish)!” press conference last week was something we can take at face value, but I also don’t think it was just a ruse.
After they murdered Alex Pretti, the writing was on the wall. One killing of a white observer they could try to write off; two is a pattern. They’re losing support they desperately need — from politicians, from the press, from judges, from less-extreme right-wingers — and the longer they continue doing what they’ve been doing, the further they dig themselves in a hole. I’ve been expecting for a while that they would declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED and change strategy.

What does printf("%c", '\0') do?
Answer: output a character of value 0.
What should printf("%lc", (wint_t)L'\0') do?
Answer: output nothing.
That's because %lc is *defined* to be equivalent to %ls with a two-element wchar_t array, the first holding the wint_t parameter (cast to a wchar_t) and the second a null wide character. If I'm right, then glibc has a bug here.

'Value' has specific meanings in Marxist political economy.
It isn't the appropriate term for what Boillier is discussing.
'Wealth' is closer but still not right.
It's a matter of standpoint: the abundance of nature isn't purely for human use, so those two terms don't apply well, or at all.

"It must therefore be assumed that this increase in activity will level off significantly in the near future," writes https://fg-kometen.vdsastro.de/koj_2026/c2026a1/26a1eaus.htm: "More likely are parameters m m0=12.0 mag / n=4 (or even lower), which would still result in a (very short-term) maximum brightness of about –9 mag (but this would probably still be significantly too bright) – always assuming that the comet survives its perihelion passage unscathed."

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioAnd "free" also implies that the worker is supposedly completely free. He is free in the sense that he can sell for as high a price as he can manage.
Himself?
Yes, for as much money as possible. - Now, in this market, the computer replaces the best thing the worker has to offer: knowledge and skill. The machine takes over both, and he himself is degraded to a mere machine operator. His actual abilities have been coaxed out of him and incorporated into the device. Consequently, he has less to sell than before, and what he can still sell is worth less.
He himself loses value?
Yes, because he is not only robbed of the ability to provide bread for his family, but also of one of the signs that prove to him that he is human. Now he is simplified and transformed into an operator. (Almost like in Kafka, where a man is transformed into a beetle; Kafka is a prophet in that regard.)"

"The arc of history bends towards material and sociological configurations which have long-term stability."
- true by definition
- highlights value of millennia-old indigenous sociological configurations and knowledge systems that are still around and which could reasonably outlast the current millennium-young self-destructive necropolitical mess
- applicable at any timescale of interest
- hard to say
Unfortunately, "nuclear wasteland" and "Venus" are both material configurations which have long-term stability, but history offers plenty of other options; not every human gets cancer.
