The European empires had all the power: they had the military dominance, they had the means, they had the transport, they had the economic controls, and they benefitted the most accordingly. They also spent centuries torturing Africa.

12.5 million Africans don't end up enslaved and heading to the Americas without the European empires making it happen.

The US owes a lot for its part, no question (what I'm saying is not a reduction in the responsibility of the US, I'm properly adding the Europeans to it). The Europeans owe that much more, including for the other 12 million slaves in the rest of the Americas (which, again, nobody ever wants to talk about re reparations, not under any circumstances). Every discussion is always about the US paying reparations. The Europeans were primarily responsible, the US didn't exist yet and banned the import of slaves as one of its first major actions post formation in January 1808. The US has spent two centuries dealing with the consequences of what the European powers did. We have had to deal with the consequences of their slave trade, while they've skirted it almost entirely.

What consequences have the Europeans suffered over the past two centuries, for what they did? Almost nothing. It's long past time for the Europeans to pay, big time.

It will bankrupt parts of Western Europe. That's how big the reparations number very obviously is.
Really? They’re saying that most people who fly are unaware and unaccountable for the negative impact their flight has on the health of the planet due to carbon emissions, among other things.
Correct. There is incredible hypocrisy in the headline. CAF IS a crime.

It's funny because you write as if you can read people's minds, but you're playing it off as if it's me who's being ridiculous.

Examples of mind reading:

- [the information they have] is widely viewable on Trump’s Twitter feed and Newsmax.

- [I know what they know] and I still have trouble understanding how they can [think the way they do].

The amount of people who seem to have this self-perception is starting to look like a fairly substantial percentage of the userbase here. Will be interesting to see if this changes in 2021.
They want to publish it in an academic setting. Curation is important and reasonable in that context.

And under US law, the copyright on a database would apply to the collective work and not to the individual facts, so your frustration and analysis are sort of strange (they can't copyright the facts and whether the collective work would gain copyright is an open question without an obvious answer).
You're misinterpreting this article by skipping to a certain section, each of the graphs and the options you select combine together.
I have no objection to your example, but it is a very different case; it is convincing vs forcing.

In your example the teacher is arguing to convince you, the final decision maker, that something is long term worthwhile even if near term unpleasant (and most adults who sign up for a class will usually listen to the teacher). The original example is closer to the teacher locking the door and saying "you will not leave until you show me that you learned X". Which is a very different setup that, even if fruitful, few adults will find palatable. My 2c.
It's sad to read comments like yours because I'm a junior dev myself. I can't blame you, though, because as I pointed out above, it's all due to perverse incentives in this industry.
This kind of thinking is the same as looking at a software product and thinking “I could hack that in a weekend”.

It’s more complex than our first intuition. I’d prefer the other way - remove government intervention in banking, but also remove government protection with bail outs and central banking.
Or, they'll take normal Tylenol alongside a number of other products that unbeknownst to them also contain Tylenol, like NyQuil, and overdose that way despite taking a normal dose of each medicine individually.

What should be banned IMO are products which combine acetaminophen/Tylenol with something else.

They are no less explicit than the actions performed at the end of iterations of for or while loops. In general, for C, understanding the behavior of code requires understanding “is it in a block, and if so what kind of block”; guard blocks would be not generally different.

Your rights end where mine begin. You don't have the right to infect me. You give up your right not to wear a mask when you go into a grocery store. But no matter how foolish you are, if you get sick, you still get to go to the ER, where you're contributing to the maxing out of capacity. And you can infect those on the street.

In some perfect libertarian society, where I could tell that I got sick from you, I'd settle things by suing the pants off you. But that's not the real world. Your choices affect me, and society's restrictions are how we set that balance.

I posted the details about what happened along with sample videos on the forums but it never got a response. Resolve doesn't offer email support for the free version and the paid version has no trial so I have no way to test if things would get fixed with the studio version.

I tested it on Debian (unstable channel at the time), but the same problem happens on Windows too. If I were to try Linux again it would involve setting up a dual boot and maybe trying Arch, or at this point Debian stable maybe (when I tried unstable it was before Buster was available).

That a lung cancer occurs at some rate such that a particular study could only detect it when smoking five cigars a day doesn't actually tell you anything about your individual risk without knowing the population size of the study. Well, it tells you that there's probably some causative connection between smoking and cancer, but it definitely doesn't give you a "safe" threshold beneath which you can smoke without risk.

Also, shouldn't you be more concerned about oral cancers and cardiovascular disease? I understand most people don't inhale cigar smoke into their lungs like they do cigarette smoke, so you would certainly expect the lung cancer risk increases to be relatively lower.
Experts in what? I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
To be constructive, I do believe there is a future beyond classic OoO, but dynamic scheduling is going to be part of it, although possibly not of instructions but of BBs or even microthreads. The papers you referencing are quire interesting as they validate some ideas I was idly thinking about. I still would call these designs OoO though, just extended.

The problem is that building a CPU is very expensive and high risk, going even a bit beyond the classic OoO can bankrupt you. Intel tried with Itanic and AMD almost ate its lunch; AMD tried with buldozer and shared execution units and almost collapsed; SUN tried with flock of chickens and is no more; Nvidia tried with denver, and well, I guess they had a lot of cash. Both AMD and Apple just made completely orthodox designs and were complete successes.

Evolution is going to be in small steps, unless a new design can prove to be 10x better than the existing ones which is very unlikely.
> It's existence is evidence that the federal government plans to continue furthering its encroachment on civil liberties

The federal government doesn't have ideas of it's own.

It's steered by elected officials.

Politicians winning votes for "showing strength" being "tough on crime" and "standing with the police", is why some in the government might have a mindset where this makes sense.

Electing better politicians probably won't fix civil forfeiture anytime soon though, because there is far more pressing matters to fix -- say improve police training, or restore credibility of government agencies.
> I do like that Zig compiles to LLVM

It's going to start compiling to zig IR soon (if it doesn't already), and zig IR will be translated to LLVM IR or fed into zigc. So I think the recommended development cycle will be - use zigc for fast iteration on localdev, then when releasing, use slower LLVM for extra optimization passes and also for cross-compilation.

I think the highest interest in zig is currently gamedev, but there are SO MANY uses for zig.

I have a pretty good idea, its about investing in Africa. America has a lot of assets, in the black population, they should encourage people to visit their homeland, on a paid trip. Helping the African economy and helping African Americans create business connects to Africa. Then there should be a programme where African Americans get a lump sum, if they start a business or invest in land in Africa. France is doing something similar but Americans have a much higher advantage something like 30 million people of African decent.

After visiting Africa I think will also help people expand their mind set about the world and that Africa is not a bad place and has lot of opportunities.

Africa has a lot of future, plenty of growth. China knows this and has invested a lot into Africa.

Taiwan does something similar with a paid trip to visit Taiwan to learn about the culture and history and create business connection between the people.

It would not cost anything as well, you just reallocate aid money.

To a degree European Africans have been doing this for a long time, plenty of YouTube videos about people moving to Africa to start a business. Fun to watch too. Many of these European Africans have positions of power in the government or private sector.

Thoughts?
I don't care if it prevents crime entirely. We shouldn't be doing it.
The reality is that the embarrassingly parallel nature of graphics has been long understood, as well as the advantages of having graphics be handled by a different, dedicated processor (see Intel's i860 in the early 1990s).

Unless in some alternate universe frequency scaling and memory bandwidth were never an issue, you're always going to come back to the reality that a parallel processor optimized for minimally-branchy math will be more efficient at graphics tasks. The early days of fixed-function hardware are, if anything, an aberration.
> local samples getting destroyed

I think you’re just engaging in conspiracies here.

It’s possible that China’s central CDC ordered the local samples to be destroyed, because the local facility was not authorized or equipped, to handle infectious diseases properly.

Think of it this way. Do you want junior high school kids, handling contaminated biowaste, where the probability or risk of infection is very high.

And this was at the very beginning, when the science behind this virus and disease was not fully known.

It’s safer to throw the samples into a fire furnace, than to risk transporting it or storing it, where its leakage could further infect more people.

Fascism is commonly confused for authoritarianism but I don't consider them interchangeable. If it's common to conflate them, then I consider this a common fallacy.

I consider Fascism as authoritarianist, but not necessarily the other way around: there are plenty communist regimes that are authoritarian (including maybe China) but that are not considered Fascist.

> China's one child policy strictly and explicitly prohibited couples from having more than one child

Sure, but you seem to assume what this means. I don't read what you assume into the original post. Again, what about Chinas 1cp specifically do you believe to be fascist and/or immoral?
I would simply wait for the plane ticket to be available and cheap again, I know it will because I paid jack shit for flying a lot of miles over the last decade (your route is offered for 40 USD on Skyscanner right now).

The train ticket will never be one bit cheaper. No promo events, nothing; state-owned enterprises seem incapable of such thinking. The price is simply absurd - renting a car and putting enough diesel into it would've been cheaper even if you went alone.
You mean CBD, probably.
I’m a white guy. I can absolutely attest to the type of policing the parent comment is referencing. I’ve grown up in and traveled all over the midwestern and southwestern United States and I can tell you right now, police in rural areas absolutely _are_ looking for any and every excuse in the book to pull you over, search your vehicle, and question you far more intensely than the situation warrants. I’ve also had my car searched by K-9 after getting pulled over for an alleged turn signal violation, so it’s definitely not melodramatic or hyperbolic. For reference, I was driving a stock Acura with in-state plates when that happened. Not anything flashy or suspect. They rely on asset forfeiture for income to make up budget differences and it’s absolutely immoral to leverage law enforcement like that. They know that what they seize goes directly into their budgets and they act on it. More than likely we have the war on drugs to thank for it, too, but that’s a different argument for a different day.
Driving below the speed limit is strange, driving above the speed limit is illegal.

Almost sounds like the police can pull over and search whoever they like, weird.
IME they also let it sit around for a while. We were stationary for more than an hour. Sadly still not long enough to make my 05:30AM arrival time bearable for a night owl like me.

No more deaths in Sweden this year than previous years.

Our hospitals already suffered from lines long enough for people to die before getting care. Waiting in line is always the result of socialist government monopolies, and this was the case before COVID as well.

To be fair, this kind of complication is relatively rare in compiler work.

On the other hand, when it does come up, it does tend to create several hours-long meetings where there are more opinions on what the "obvious" semantics should be than people present. I've always been a stickler for trying to actually specify the obvious semantics to try to forestall these conversations.
Yeah, there's a timing issue with tree planting certainly. You have to discount the trees some amount for the effect. And it's not a 100 years. That flight will be covered by the oak in under 20 years.

Of course, you still have to discount but it makes things much more feasible.

That's why you usually don't plant trees. You can do other stuff that wouldn't otherwise get done.
> accidentally took too much Tylenol for pain relief and suffered liver damage

For non-USians, Tylenol is a brand of paracetamol. The recommended maximum daily dose for an adult is three to four grams. Paracetamol toxicity is the foremost cause of acute liver failure in the Western world.
Driving a hundred mph on a remote, empty road can be one of the most dangerous things you could possibly do. Large animals can and will jump right out in front of you; more than usual as they're not habituated to the dangers of cars.

I remember once driving through West Texas on US-90 (the highway, not the interstate) in the evening on a cross-country drive. I don't think I passed more than a handful of cars, if that, but after barely missing several antelope despite driving well under the speed limit, I just called it a night and pulled into the next motel I found.

It really drove home the point that the dangers aren't only the obvious ones. So even on a straight, empty road as flat as Kansas[1] and in broad daylight I would never go so fast. Who knows what might jump out at you, from any which way.

[1] I've driven US-50 coast-to-coast. Not much of interest in Kansas other than experiencing exactly how flat it is, particularly the western portion coming down from Colorado.

This is literally a discussion about an article about the CEO of apple exercising his power as a manager of other peoples' assets to kill a tv show about Gawker who punished him for being homosexual by exposing it when he wanted it kept secret. An action he has just taken. Just now.

The "MBS thing" is ongoing. The decapitations continue. Heads are being cut off with swords. Yes it does makes me sick to acknowledge the reality of that.

So yes, he continues to apply a principle in the strongest possible fashion to his own benefit while completely ignoring decapitations of others by exercising his power controlling the assets belonging to other people.

There's no "decade between" there's no "whataboutism" this is who he is and how he applies principles. I'm sorry if that upsets you. I don't want to believe it either. At some point I feel the need to nod to the reality of how things are rather than how I would like them to be.

I don't think the media should publicise the consenting actions of adults taken in private unless they are a public figure and those actions show their publicly stated principles are lies or simply hypocritcal. (As an examle, think the politican who says adulterers should go to jail while having 1 or more adulterous affairs - this is enough for publicising the private act to be justified).

I also don't think homosexuals, performing consentual acts among adults in private should be decapitated for doing so. I think that is wrong and evil and to be opposed always. In most parts of the world this is an entirely uncontraversial view most would deny disagreeing with.

I find those two stances to be a consistent application of principle. You might well feel the same way yourself.
> They're using the same software, and the data falls squarely within Wikidata's scope.

The data only falls within Wikidata's scope if "every single enslaved person" can be described using reliable sources. That's a very dubious position. And Wikidata has scaling problems already due to their scholarly-article data - but at least that comes with plenty of surrounding info about authors, topics, citations etc. etc. that's uniquely suited to a general-purpose knowledge base. Can one make the same claim about the micro-level archival history of slavery in the antebellum U.S.?
A search on Google Books for "spare made" gave me this:

Which I would think implies thin.
