Our allies in the Gulf States are also responsible too

> Several Afghan and US officials have long accused several regional governments including Pakistan, Iran and Russia of giving financial aid to the Afghan Taliban, a practice they frequently deny.
> Private citizens from Pakistan and several Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are considered the largest individual contributors.
> Although impossible to measure, these sources of funding clearly provide a significant proportion of the Taliban's revenue, and according to experts and officials could be as much as $500m a year.
> These links are long-standing. A classified CIA report estimated in 2008 that the Taliban had received $106m, from foreign sources, in particular from the Gulf states.

Read the article. This is a global thing, not US-specific.

Los Angeles is planning to put a vacant homes tax on the ballot for 2022, in the face of a mounting homelessness crisis. Hong Kong officials are considering taxing condo developers to deter them from hoarding new units. Ireland is exploring its options. Barcelona has gone as far as threatening to seize landlords’ empty apartments — paying half of market value — and convert the units into affordable rentals. Paris tripled its tax on second homes in 2017.

If you keep appending the directory obviously won’t shrink because those entries need to fit somewhere - to shrink you’d need to remove stuff.

Let me rephrase, though. In UFS/FFS, the kernel will try to truncate the directory size every time you add a new entry. However, it will only cut off the free space at the end, it won’t punch a hole inside. This means that if you remove a bunch of files/subdirectories, but leave the one occupying the last (highest numbered) directory entry, that directory won’t shrink. It will shrink after you remove that last one.
But only one of those examples is something that’s actually been done. The others are future plans or threats or just ideas.

It reads weirdly because it’s a kind of propaganda, in a way.
The communicator was literally like a toy IBM PC.

Blackberry innovated by shrinking the keyboard to thumb size, and making do with a smaller display so it could fit in a pocket instead of requiring a handbag.

Those two innovations/ bold compromises over the Communicator enabled RIM to discover the first addictive euphoria of an always connected social device with the crack berry.

I say “social” but it wasn’t really because the app was really just email. But RIM got it into the gossip columns through Paris Hilton and Janet Jackson, setting the stage for the blockbuster device that landed in 2007 when Steve Jobs showed everybody what a leap forward into a new category could be.

Why are the wealthy parking their funds in real estate? They don't have a crystal ball so its not because they know its going to appreciate. It's a terrible investment by almost all accounts. It's historically expensive, undiversified, large transaction costs, high maintenance, taxed continuously, politically visible, etc. And they don't even bother to use it.

My understanding is that there are limits to where they can store their wealth with relative safety. A Russian oligarch can't just open up a Robinhood account and park hundreds of millions of dollars in a low cost ETF. Their wealth is in constant risk of confiscation by the state. That's much less true in the US. I don't think Mark Cuban would just sit on hundreds of millions worth of real estate in Vancouver. Vacation homes and private islands are different, but I think its mostly a developing market oligarch phenomenon.

I wonder if crypto could alleviate some of the strain caused by work-arounds to unequal banking systems.

He was foreign minister at that point and refused to take a German citizen back, instead he left him there. Until pressure was to high, and "public opinion" wasn't that much focused on islamist terrorism anymore. In a nutshell, a low point in Steinmeier's career, and in post-WW2 German foreign policy. Not that Germany was the only country doing this kind of shit, so.
While cassette tapes can be somewhat dodgy, they are repairable to a degree that's difficult to achieve with modern media. The cassette decks are also very repairable.

Personally, I can no longer tell the difference between digital media and a high-quality cassette recording of it. That's probably due to age though...
> The opposite problem, that the compiler can't optimize over object file boundaries, was the impetus behind Link Time Optimization (LTO). But that could also be handled by pasting all the source into one giant file. See SQLite's amalgamation for one example: https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html

Unity / jumbo builds are not that uncommon but they are not exactly the same as LTO:

1. You no longer have compiler-enforced private intefaces (ie static in C, anonymous namespaces in C++) as everything is a compiltion unit

2. As a consequence of 1. all names must be globally unique. This is less of a problem for new projects, but means you can't just turn on unity builds like you can with LTO.

3. With LTO, parts of the compilation (parsing and initial local optimizations) can be done for each source file and then cached so they don't need to be re-done when another source file changes, allowing faster incremental builds. On the other hand, unity builds allow the compiler to only parse each header once (and for C++ only instantiate templates once for identical parameters), which can significantly speed up (single-core) full builds.

4. Compilers traditionally were mostly single-threader and relied on compiling multiple files in parallel to make use of multi-core CPUs. This approach works with neither LTO nor jumbo builds but with LTO, compiler writers have been working on parallelizing the optimization process itself. The same could have been done with jumbo builds but if you are going to involve compiler modifications anyway, might as well build LTO to avoid 1. and 2.

LTO with a linker plugin (or unity builds with -fwhole-program or equivalent) also covers your size optimization as the compiler can now see which functions go unused.

Unfortunately the article is only about Guantanamo and the human rights abuses committed there on people who were largely innocent (which is bad enough, of course), but not about the wider failures of the "war on terror", the most current of which is the appalling way in which the so-called democratic administration and army of Afghanistan has failed after the NATO withdrawal. I suspect there were similar mechanisms at play there as with the way suspects were "recruited" for Guantanamo...
My understanding is that housing is viewed as an inflation hedge. They’re buying those assets now on credit because they’re expecting elevated inflation over the medium term. Which means they’ll be able to raise and collect rent over that time, and likely sell at a profit.

This is a problem that many countries have solved by banning or heavily taxing ownership of housing by corporate and foreign entities. We pretend these problems are unique and intractable because solving them would mean a level of wealth redistribution, but honestly that’s well overdue.

> The sooner you're aware you are influenced the more protected you will be.

So then you are aware and not affected, doesn't that mean you are aware you are no longer affected since you are aware of the effects of marketing? My first instinct whenever I see something in an ad or something being marketed is to assume it is a scam and just move on.

Like, I am aware that I am not significantly affected by marketing. I can be sure of that since I barely buy anything, and when I do I just sort by cheapest and look at specs until I find something acceptable. When buying stuff at the supermarket I just look at ingredients and compare, it doesn't take long to do since you just do that once per product.

Companies hates people like me, they would rather I not see their ads since it is just a dud anyway. They want people who are easy to manipulate emotionally into thinking their lives would be better with more nonsense products. I am not like that, I don't think that nonsense products can improve my life, so I don't see a reason to spend more money.

But like sure, I feel an emotional tingle from ads, but I recognize it for what it is and just shuts it down. It isn't hard to do for me, rather it is hard to actually feel like the products would be meaningful. I think that many who recognize that ads doesn't affects them significantly works similarly.
Populations are often held responsible for the choices they make. That's how history books talk about Romans, Greeks, Ottomans etc.

It's true that individuals in specific populations don't face the consequences that a population faces but they do face the immediate outcomes. Sometimes those outcomes are good for them, sometimes bad. For example, Europeans are facing the consequences of the chice they made with their support for the interventionism in Africa and Middle east. For example, Richard from GB faced the consequences of his votes by loosing access to EU's market as a result of influx of refugees due to interventionist politics creating these refugees.

That doesn't mean that somebody held them responsible, they will be held responsible in the history. History is written quickly these days. This time, it might have actual consequences for being held responsible just like it had consequences for the Germans.

The Taliban didn’t exist during the Soviet war. The Pakistani ISI, and the US by proxy, trained and equipped the Afghan mujahedeen fighters to fight the Soviets. Then, once the Soviets pulled out, multiple former fighters, notably the Haqqani family, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Ahmad Shah Massoud, and Abdul Rashid Dostum, created their own militias and began fighting over control of various parts of the country.

Pakistani ISI backed Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the “Butcher of Kabul”, in an effort to help install a Pakistani friendly government in Afghanistan, but backed off after pressure from the US. The Taliban was then formed in southern Afghanistan by Mullah Mohammad Omar, also from former Soviet fighters, and quickly conquered significant territory from the other warring factions. The Pakistani ISI backed them, but covertly to avoid pushback from the US. The Haqqanis and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar became allies, with the Taliban controlling the majority of Afghanistan, while Ahmad Shah Massoud and his “Northern Alliance” controlled the north.

The US under Clinton was pretty wishy washy about Afghanistan at that point, mostly just wanting the fighting to end. But they did work with Massoud and the Northern Alliance in order to attempt to target Osama Bin Laden after the 1998 embassy bombings. Under Bush, the CIA was in the process of beginning a covert operation to support the Northern Alliance against the Taliban, but then Massoud was assassinated by the Taliban on September 9th, 2001, and two days later was 9/11.

> Isn't that width?

That depends on the implementation.

Number of different features/actions is the game width.

Complexity of the features are the depth.

A turn based strategy might give you 10000 units that vary slightly, but not in a meaningful way is a shallow width.

A roaster of units to choose from that counter certain opponent's units and have bonus interactions with certain friendly units would be example of depth.

You just answered the question. This is not about the "very" rich as in Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg. This is about the $10-100m guys who made their money in shady ways or didn't pay their taxes. Real estate is great as there are little tracks in how the money is moving.

You could buy a house in a neighboring country for money that you paid tax on (say $500k) and then do renovation work that cost $500k but that money could be moved mostly in cash and is the shady part. It's also very hard for your original country to "know about it (the renovation)" and the host country most likely doesn't care.

No, the compiler or preprocessor should process a higher level instruction that you write using the editor. The editor can run the preprocessor or compiler or a chain of them with single click and load or view any intermediate code with convenience of course, but none of the generated intermediate form should be written or saved in a repository.
