This is a good thing to point out, because video really has progressed substantially in the last five years. But most people still can't make videos like they can photos, and 10bit colour an high-bitrate 4K are both totally useless to the average person, or even a enthusiast photographer.

There's nationalized in the sense of, only the government can control this resource, it is owned by the people. Good. Then the government builds it and spends money on it. If you have a good government you get a good resource for the people. If you have a bad government you get a mess.

The nationalization referred to in Venezuela, is someone invests their own resources in building something, legally with the approval of the government. After they have built it, the government comes with people with guns, and says, "this belongs to us now" and either the owners go away, or go to jail, or get shot. Is that what they do in Norway? Do you think smart, capable people with access to capital want to work in Venezuela? Or maybe all those people left and provide their services to other countries.

And by the way, this Venezuelan kind of nationalization sounds too me like the kind that Marx was advocating, it's real socialism too.
No. It would destroy them mentally and permanently.

You can have smaller sensor sites (pixels) and downsample to a lower resolution in order to average away most of the noise. That's one approach with, for example, cameras like RED's new 8k film camera.
Most of the awful things that have happened to Venezuela came about as a result of the resource curse. Countries with rich natural wealth that overpowers the rest of the economy that is contested alwaya go to shit, whether in the Middle East or Africa or Latin America.

The whole "populism" / "socialists" thing is the American media projecting its fury at US oil companies getting kicked out in the 90s. There were many things they did to economically mismanage the country but that wasn't one of them and neither was building hospitals, schools and housing with wealth wrested from economic elites and American oil companies.

The best thing that could happen to them would be for oil to lose its geopolitical importance. Then the rest of the economy could rexover and the proxy fighting between can end and the Dutch disease can end.

Meanwhile, they probably will put the opposition in power next election, which American media will approve of, but it won't make things any better.

That works better if you expect things in iterable that aren't ints, but it's still summing bools. int(x) > 3 returns a bool, so in the end it's still doing something similar to

sum([True, False, False, True, True, False])

But if bools didn't implicitly behaves like ints, but could still be converted to ints, you could do this:

sum(int(x > 3) for x in iterable)
Well, if by 'in right now' you mean at least 7k - 9k years you might be right [0][1]. If you believe what ethnobotanist like Terence Mckenna [2] say, then it's much older and has shaped the hominids evolution quite significantly. It seems almost all cultures found local hallucinogens and exploited them heavily for ceremony, healing etc and was strong part of who they were [3].

Anecdotally, I think hallucinogen just highlighted mental issues that were already there. I also know some really smart people who have done their share of it with no problem (that i can see). If I could go back in time, i'd do it all again. We, as humans, were pretty open about all this not too long ago. I am happy to see a small number never stopped and psychonauts [4] though not always scientific, have kept exploring and bringing back ideas and experiences for these alternate states of reality.

Kind of contradicts "Often, it seems that version numbers are incremented by "gut feel" instead of any consistent semantic: "This feels like a minor version update."

Technically it's a major version bump, as I understand it. But security is important, so what should we do here in addition to writing it down as first sentence on release notes? Perhaps having an excuse to potentially break downstream code in the name of security should be OK and well communicated (i.e in readme)?

I've lived in Colombia and Chile, close to 4 years between the two countries. I left Chile at the end of December. Venezuelan economic refugees are all over the place. In both countries.

To be clear I wasn't stating that the situation in China is equivalent in any way to that of Venezuela, I just felt it was a bit strange to root the current woes of Venezuela solely on lack of free market basically. It probably doesn't help but what killed Venezuela in the end is their complete reliance on oil money and complete lack of plan B when it crashed.

I'm pretty certain that if the right had been in charge when the crisis happened things would've played out mostly the same (I don't believe for a second that the right would have better diversified the economy for the same reason that the socialists didn't, nobody says no to free money), the main difference being that they would have cut all the benefits to the poor immediately to cushion the fall a bit and they'd have let papa USA bail them out in exchange for a de-facto feudalization of their economy. I agree that it would probably have turned better for the Venezuelan people (at least in the short term) but socialism vs. capitalism is not really the cause of the crash, it's more about the recovery or lack thereof. If the petrol infusion had kept going I'm sure people would be chanting Dear Leader's name in the streets, whoever that would be.

I don't know about an LSD trip but I've often wondered what exactly a baby perceives while in the womb or as a newborn. Their brains aren't just sitting there as a blank state so they are experiencing something. I wouldn't at all be surprised if it's very trippy seeing as infants have literally nothing to hold onto to define reality as we see it.

I often watched my newborn staring off into empty space clearly perceiving /something/
Countries have very limited space and growing populations.

Does it really make sense to give the biggest chunks to people with the most money?
You are making strawman attacks against me. Nowhere did I claim that the situation isn't bad in Venuezala, or that I support the government. I am simply saying that calling it socialist for the actions it has taken is extremely similar to what western countries have done and continue to do.

For examples of already-existing companies being nationalised, see RBS in the UK, or Cardiff Airport in wales. After the 9/11 attacks in the US, all airport security firms were forcibly nationalised.

If you are claiming that the definition of socialist requires it to be done with guns instead of money, I don't know what to say. However be aware that if somebody did create an oil company in norway against the law then I imagine that some nice people from the government would have to come and ask them not to. If they refused despite that - they may actually have to make use of the state monopoly of violence.
So I guess it's all hopeless and we should all just die then. What's the use in doing anything if everything is a mild inconvenience?

No, the problem was created by the existing Flint/Michigan government, and yes, it's their problem to fix. This isn't some nebulous "it happened in the past and we're just getting the bill now".

But you're right, it's completely impossible to replace water pipes. No one in the history of ever has ever replaced a water pipe.
More often than not, Europeans flood Brazil with immigrants. It happened in 1800, in the end of 1800 and beginning of 1900, again around 1930, and yet again around 1950-1960. After the crash of 2008, Brazil was thriving and again, the influx of Europeans moving here grew, specially Portuguese and Spanish running from their collapsed economy.

Of course there are Venezuelans trying to find a better life, the same way every Brazilian is leaving or thinking about leave the country. Why would Venezuela be different? I'm not a government troll, but aren't you?

Libertarians don't want to pay taxes in the first place because they believe they can buy equivalent or better service for the same price or cheaper on the free market and stop overpaying for services that are useless or actively harmful, like e.g. most of FDA regulation, zoning, building codes, etc. How does that relate to tax loopholes at all?
The question is, should "the value proposition", in terms of finances, be the criteria?

You are assuming that people will reliably follow the law. That's a bad assumption. I've seen people driving the wrong way on one-way streets multiple times.

They self-classify themselves as left-wing.

They have also imposed several left-wing actions, like nationalization of oil companies (and your comparison is with Norway is again without merit as Chavez nationalized several industries - including oil - without significant compensation and put his incompetent cronies to run it, which means they don't produce as much as when they were privately run)

And the moment that happens every single bad thing in Venezuela for the past 15 years and the future 1,000 years will be their fault. The entire world would condemn the USA as imperialists and there would be protests in the streets. Europeans would scoff at American brutality. And 5 more Chavezs with their socialist revolutions would be born, raging against US hegemony. That's what Chavez did in the first place, he was "protecting Venezuela from the imperialist USA". All the problems caused by his socialist revolution were actually because of US interference. There are still people today, here in this board, that believe that.

Fortnite Rocketed Past a Billion Dollars by Going Free
Well... people are stupid. Rather we are overly simplistic creatures that are set up to fail. My observations are:

A) nobody is able to discern whether or not something is true without an astronomical amount of effort and resources therefore we resort to deeply flawed heuristics

B) We are not rational creatures. Logic is mostly wasted on us. All decisions are ultimately emotional and often it's made by unconsciously substituting an easier question and deciding based off your answer to that.

C) Incentives are extremely powerful motivators. They can cause us to do bad, nasty things to get a reward.

D) A person sufficiently motivated by the incentives of being the sole person in control of all the resources can and will routinely use the flaws in our psychology against us to their advantage.

Humans basically don't stand a chance. The fact that England and the US happened is freaking miracle. Interestingly in all cases where they system of humanity converged on a democracy was when there was a broad coalition of people with different interests who would all benefit from opposing the ruler. The scary thing is that it can all go back the other way. Even the US can collapse and fall into this kind of nightmare. I think from 2000 to 2015 was the golden era of humanity and we are now on a slow and steady descent into madness.
What if X, Y, and Z are within your own filter bubble and want you to believe the fake news?
Honestly, I don't think anyone who suffers or sees suffering truly believes pushing someone in a path of suffering is the goal. I think it's always a convoluted process of reasoning to make sense of suffering that has happened and suffering that is happening, and to be able to make the most of suffering that is happening, if suffering is happening.

No one would want to intentionally push themselves into their worst fears.

The idea that suffering is good destroys the intent of the message. Suffering that has happened is something to turn into good because for many people, that's what they need to let go of the cyclical pattern in the mind that believes (I do my best to do things -> bad things happen) which can sort of get stuck for an individual that is looking for patterns that relate the self to other selves.

All messages are an attempt to communicate that. Suffering that continues to happen is the mind playing tricks - the attempt to reason about suffering that is still happening, suffering that could happen, and suffering that might still be happening that the individual reasoning is either aware of, or not aware of.

You can't ignore the fact that suffering exists even if you do not suffer. For some people, being aware of this fact is how they suffer (and now I have achieved semantic satiation but that is besides the point).

I don't think it's anyone's intent to pervert having a good nature with good intentions. The problem is always, no one can know everything. You can beat yourself over the head with how every thought, action, and belief has consequences, see all the patterns, tie yourself to them, fear them, and perpetually dwell in suffering, but it doesn't make it true for a rabbi trying to reason morally in real time and for those that rabbi is around, nor does it make it true for you if you see those patterns.

I've heard plenty of stories about mother teresa but it's not like I actually knew her. Belief systems that jump to the worst possible case (fear) are something that seem to haunt jewish people - it's reasonable to assume this comes from generational trauma, perpetual jewish diaspora. Important not to get it flipped on them.
