Gravity waves detection and cheap solar cells are mind-blowing to me. Gravity waves for just the sensitivity achieved and solar for how rapidly it’s improved. It used be a cute technology used in calculators, impossible to match economically turning a generator or directly burning stuff, and now it’s the default first choice.

And they tried. Look at the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the salt raids, the mass imprisonments. But the point wasn’t to wait for mercy, it was to make the cost of control so high, through sheer non-cooperation, that ruling became practically impossible. The system depends on participation. Remove that, and power collapses under its own weight. It’s not about violence, nor about moral appeals. It’s about leverage. When millions stop obeying, even bullets can’t fix the math.

Nope, nope, nope. It is not a show of force, it’s making the society ungovernable, like not paying taxes. There was no implication of anything more violent. It is not appealing to the morality of the oppressor.

Where do you get that from? All the violent resistance like Subhash Chandra Bose and revolutionary movement were not big enough to be a major concern. Civil disobedience was more concerning given how widespread it was.

Gandhi had trouble convincing the British to even consider independence until widespread communal violence swept the nation in the aftermath of WWII. What are you talking about?

This is good actually, “privacy sandbox” is like baked in ad targeting service. Better to just block third party cookies. I’ve only needed third party cookies for microsoft 365 stuff.

Therefore, we cannot be confident that temperature decline after overshoot is achievable within the timescales expected today. Only rapid near-term emission reductions are effective in reducing climate risks.
