World News@lemmy.world•White House: Reopening Strait of Hormuz Not Vital to Ending Iran WarEnglish
81·12 天前The other side also gets to vote for when the war is over.
As the wars in Ukraine and Iran have shown, its impossible to stop 100% of drone attacks and drone manufacturing.
Cargo ship insurance companies will have a vote too regarding when the Strait of Hormuz is “open”.

Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Jigar Shah sees virtual power plants as the fastest way for states to stabilize electric billsEnglish
2·1 个月前When people talk about “smart thermostats” in this context, they’re saying they want the utility company to be able to set the temperature in your house in exchange for pennies off your electric bill.
By reducing the delta between peak and baseline energy demand, the utility can sell the power generating facilities that only run & earn income on the hottest/coldest days but which are a constant expense even when they’re not running (i.e. most of the time).
The plan is to make poor people uncomfortable on the hottest and coldest days in order to lower everyone else’s electric bills.

1·1 个月前IDK, I think we’ve seen adequate evidence that a lot of people out there are unswayed by facts and logic, and many of the ones who can be reasoned with are vulnerable to sophistry, sealioning, and other bad faith propaganda/debate techniques.
Even an informed public seems incapable of making good decisions.

World News@lemmy.world•UAE to withdraw forces from Yemen after Saudi strikeEnglish
31·3 个月前KSA has given up on trying to defeat the Houthis, and now wants to buy them with a promise of revenue sharing from the oil fields that were recently captured by UAE-backed STC.
KSA hopes they can reduce the frequency of attacks against their oil infrastructure and economic diversification mega-projects. They’re betting that the cost of the Houthi attacks that will still be launched against them, plus the cost of the bribes aimed at reducing the frequency of those attacks, will still be less expensive than a full ground invasion of Yemen.
Furthermore, KSA is racing against the global trend away from burning oil for energy. They need to diversify their economy while oil is still valuable, and a ground war would halt that progress because investors won’t want to put their eggs into an exploding basket.
So KSA is willing to act against members of their own anti-Houthi alliance in order to prevent a UAE-sponsored break-away state from metastasizing on their border - a break-away state that would control the oil revenue that KSA hoped would buy them a temporary reprieve during this fragile economic moment.

5·4 个月前Its been done - link goes to a PDF of the study:
Patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) frequently report episodes of interidentity amnesia, that is amnesia for events experienced by other identities. The goal of the present experiment was to test the implicit transfer of trauma-related information between identities in DID. We hypothesized that whereas declarative information may transfer from one identity to another, the emotional connotation of the memory may be dissociated, especially in the case of negative, trauma-related emotional valence. An evaluative conditioning procedure was combined with an affective priming procedure, both performed by different identities. In the evaluative conditioning procedure, previously neutral stimuli come to refer to a negative or positive connotation. The affective priming procedure was used to test the transfer of this acquired valence to an identity reporting interidentity amnesia. Results indicated activation of stimulus valence in the affective priming task, that is transfer of emotional material between identities. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
