I moved to Europe in 2016, and America seems increasingly weird to me.

Here you have these two right-wing parties already, and you're like, "No, I need another right-wing party".

Here it is over a year and a half into the worst pandemic in living memory, and no one's even talking about giving people medical care, something the rest of the developed world has had for generations.

Both parties compete to see who will increase the military budget faster and who will suck up to Wall Street harder.

Sure, the Democrats are sane and have flashes of competence; the Republicans are delusional raving loonies who lie every chance they can get and only have a tenuous grasp on reality. Big difference. But still, not so much range.
The book "Why nations fail" makes the claim that centralized institutions (among other things) are necessary for building a prosperous country. It's a very interesting read.

"Ships from" though is perfect Dutch.
That does help at times, yes. When politics encompasses propaganda messaging to achieve a specific outcome or condition, it's possible to study the social media output and see when political messages all pop up in a coordinated way. And map out the network, particularly if you can sort out the provenance of key accounts and know where they're coming from, and identify which accounts are most disciplined about amplifying and laundering the messaging.

As such, you can indeed spot bots through political agenda :)

I got stuck with this a few years ago. I live in New Zealand. My bank used iOS’ number pad keyboard to let me enter a deposit amount in its app.

When I switched my phone to French language but left the region and formatting as English (New Zealand), it was clear the app developers didn’t know the difference between language and locale because suddenly I couldn’t deposit amounts with a decimal point; they didn’t account for the fact ‘,’ would show up on the number pad rather than ‘.’.

It meant that they detected my phone’s language rather than locale. It used French’s locale settings for the decimal separator despite the fact I had specifically set my locale settings to remain in English (New Zealand).

I complained and it was later fixed to detect locale instead — but seriously, language vs locale, not rocket science.
It seems to be handcrafted.

> That's the whole point of fractional reserve! You have enough reserves to cover a fraction of the deposits amount.

Yes exactly, by making 9m loans, the bank has a fraction (10%) of reserves to cover the deposit amount (10m).

> The unlikely event that the people who take loans sends the money elsewhere? What would be unlikely is that they didn't.

You are assuming that 100% of deposits created by loans will be immediately withdrawn. The thing that doesn’t make sense is that you’re treating deposits created from debt as special. The bank needs reserves of 10% of all its deposits.

Why are you considering the eventuality that the loan holder buys something but not that the saver buys something? They are both equally irrelevant as they are eventualities factored into the 10% requirement.

Say there is only one current account holder at the bank with 1m savings. Then the bank gives that customer a 900k loan. Now the customer buys a house. Why do you assume the house will cost 900k? They might buy a 1.2m house, in which case the bank is stuffed, as it only has 1m reserves. There is nothing special about the 900k.

Side effects from vaccines are rare, but do occasionally happen. Because of the small risk, there’s a government program to pay money to anybody who suffers a serious side effect from taking a vaccine in exchange for granting legal immunity to vaccine producers ( https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/index.html ). So, to answer your question, schools don’t literally require legal immunity themselves, but they do benefit from legal immunity that that the government gives vaccine manufacturers: there’s no need to sue a school for requiring vaccines when there’s a special program to pay out benefits.

Last I knew, COVID-19 vaccines weren’t covered, but apparently I missed some news, since it’s the first thing listed on https://www.hrsa.gov/cicp .

If you don't want mandates, perhaps evaluate the consequences of applying the same level vitriol to every single request made of you by the collective regardless of its reasonability.
So it's a technicality? Technically every bridge bears his symbol, but no, "celebrating" him we are not.

I mean you have to willfully interprete the word "celebrating" as people dancing in the streets out of joy to read the parent's parent comment that way.

In other words: "It's in the background" rather means it's the foundation upon which (as other comments have pointed out) the French Revolution's winning side's narrative rests.

I'm sorry, but I think this is time to speak up. We're losing rights month by month, slowly following in Australia's authoritarian footsteps. So many who oppose this are too afraid to say anything, and the result is the appearance of overwhelming support for such measures, mainly because those who do support are much more aggressive, louder, willing to directly attack others personally and even physically.

We shouldn't resort to those tactics, but we do need to make our voices heard, support each other, reassure everyone that we're just as numerous if not more so. It's important, this is our freedom and that of our children on the line.

I'd suggest following Rand Paul on twitter, and as he suggests, refusing to comply with these unscientific and unreasonable orders.

(truly, any mandate that fails to take in to account naturally acquired immunity or vaccine risks to individuals as noted in cdc and fda documents is completely lacking in scientific rigor.)
History is not optimistic about quiet pushes for progressivism and civil rights. This is not even a western bias: if you really want change, it's going get rough before it gets better.
I hate the circling ball model because it gives so many people completely wrong intuitions about what is actually happening in the world of particles.

After that kind of education people tend to imagine particles as little balls traveling through space and bouncing and occasionally doing something magical that normal balls don't do (like not having a radius or interacting with itself).

While what actually happens (according to better models) is that paricle is a nebulous object that evolves moving and reshaping and when we interact with it with it our measurement devices we reshape it and get results as if there was at given point in time some mass with some charge and spin and whatever at some region of space with some momentum and energy limited to some range. And to guess what will be similarily vague result of the next interaction with that object we in many cases can't draw a line and say "the ball flew throug there". And the lines we draw when we can, represent the motion of the whole fuzzy cloud that actually is the particle as it evolves in space.

I think we should start teaching model of the atom starting from the orbitals and treat classical model of the atom only slightly better than "raisin model" of the atom because what it gets right it gets right only because wave function evolution equations in some very specific cases simplify to classical equations of motion and we learned them first by observing macroscopic objets that are that special cases of motion.

The image of p orbital should suffice to explain to people why the circular model is wrong.

That's hilarious. That's literally bad-actor tools, asking you to use them, and then punishing you for it.

I wonder if that tool is intentional bait. You don't actually know if Twitter itself is acting in good faith there, or if it's a trap: a tool seemingly made to help bot networks, but which would show Twitter exactly who fell for it and set up their bot networks with a few convenient (too convenient?) clicks.

It's a very interesting question, what side Twitter is on. I'm guessing it's on Twitter's side and Twitter's side alone, much like Facebook. If you're a bad actor and they're 'helping' you, it may be a trap.
Asbestos fire-proofing made a substantial difference. We did not - in fact - go from "Let's make things fire-proof with asbestos" to "Eh, asbestos is bad, guess everything will burn down instead" but instead moved to fire-proofing with new materials in countries that could afford to do that.

Lots of older buildings have asbestos that's preventing fires and won't cause noticeable harm so long as it's undisturbed. The fibres are a problem, but a sheet of material under a layer of plaster isn't breaking off fibres that can get into your lungs. If your job is to rip out plaster and re-model buildings then that's a huge problem, but if you just live in a building you're getting much more benefit from it not catching fire than you'd get from very minutely reducing your risk of lung damage from asbestos.

In fact even for a brand new building, although it's banned in some places, "Let's use asbestos" makes more sense than "Eh, so what if it burns down and a few dozen people die", so if those are the available choices you should go with asbestos.

So it is with the available COVID-19 vaccines. SARS-CoV-2 is very dangerous and, outside of New Zealand and a handful of Pacific islands, widespread, so you're just way more likely to get very sick or die as a result of not being vaccinated than suffer a serious side effect, known or hypothetical.

> Is a person legally responsible for the injury if he engages in skydiving but then gets injured because the pilot of his plane made a mistake or manufacturer technician of his plane didn't prepare it correctly?

I don't see how that tracks. You appear to be saying "if birth control fails", but birth control is known to be less than 100% effective the same way protective sports equipment is. Arguably you have a point if the birth control in question is defective.

> Is a person walking at night legally responsible for getting mugged, because there's a known risk of getting mugged?

> Is the responsibility for any action with known risk solely on the person undertaking the action?

So the sperm and egg are committing a crime now? They are not conscious actors, they don't have responsibility.

> Since father is also equally responsible why not take out one of his organs he can live without as a punishment for the undesirable outcome?

> Why corporal punishment for a women but just a fine for a man?

We already have child support to extract responsibility, in some form, from the father. I think it would be fair to say that money is not nearly as big a deal as the pregnancy, so yeah maybe there should be a different form of responsibility enforced. Taking an organ doesn't really accomplish anything though, because the purpose isn't to punish but to support the child and taking an organ does nothing for that.

> Refusing women abortion is similarly barbaric. We just don't notice it.

I don't agree. While I'm certainly uncomfortable with the idea of forcing people to endure pregnancy and its consequences against their will, if one takes the position that fetuses are people and deserve the same human rights as everyone else, and quite a lot of people do (though for the record I lean toward not agreeing on this), then I don't think the issue is quite as straight-forward as saying that the mother (or father for that matter, but obviously his situation is different) bears no responsibility towards the fetus.
I hope that attitude changes. Buying new hardware every 5 years should not be the norm.
Welcome to higher math! You know, those PhDs and tenures need to be deserved, so why not obfuscating simple concepts to get ahead?

By now, the COVID vaccines have been given to an extremely large sample size so even very rare side-effects would be known by now.

Similarly, because vaccines train your own immune system without staying in your body, it’s extremely unlikely for a side-effect to be delayed in time for more than weeks. Note the timeframes on the relevant historical examples:

> hence the ‘Retour’ key on French keyboards.

But as far as I know there has never been a key called "Retour" on French keyboards. Both Return and Enter are called "Entrée" in French by everyone I know, maybe because Apple's keyboards don't have any text on them, while PC keyboards do have "Entrée" written at this location[0].

Retour is only ever used to mean "Back", and Back is also translated as "Retour" on iOS. Which means in some cases (like in the Mail app) you have two different "Retour" buttons, one that inserts a newline while the other one cancels what you're doing.

I'm certainly not the only person to have a problem with it because I'm the one having to explain why the keyboard says "retour" to iPhone users, even though I mostly use Android phones.

The answer for bots is the same for dogs: who we call good.

Since cold air is denser, I always understood that when you open a vertical cooler the cold air just flows out like a fluid (gas) and is displaced by warm air. This is also why it's good to keep your fridge full, so that it has some thermal mass to it. It's also one of the reasons horizontal freezers are so efficient.
Right. Intel platforms do XIP to get through memory training but AMD relies on the PSP to train memory and setup other systems. So without the PSP it just wouldn’t boot.

FPGA dev boards aren't that cheap, particularly one that can synthesize a 64 bit multi-core RISC-V CPU (in fact, there is one that can do it and it costs nearly $3000). The other problem with synthesized CPUs is that the clock speeds are very slow, unless you pay a great deal of money for the FPGA.

They're a lot of fun though - I have PicoRV32 in a very low end Lattice FPGA which cost, like $30 I think? It can only run single C programs, not even an embedded kernel, but I love playing around with it.
