That was the theory; in practice, the very limited communication (hard to handle fast-evolving situations when couriers from Rome to Amiens take a few weeks at best) & enforcement means (you have 100 guys with spears? We are 200 with pitchforks, come get us) led to a much more decentralized power structure than what is stereotypically understood.
I agree this is a useful philosophical and logical lens. Rearranging logical statements and forms and ensuring that certain higher principles hold (which we might call 'moral invariants') is a useful way to do moral reasoning!

Still, the logical reasoning above is only part of the larger discussion of human meaning in general and {race and identity} in particular. Words relating to history and culture are not so neatly substitutable and reversible.

Personal note: I hope I've been at least clear (and perhaps even persuasive) w.r.t. to the subjective interpretation of survey questions. Merely swapping labels without bringing along the cultural and mental connections isn't enough.

Example: a narrow textual analysis of the following phrases tends to miss what people actually mean when using them:

- "Black lives matter"

- "All lives matter"

- "Blue lives matter"

A summary of the necessary context, from the corresponding Wikipedia pages, copypastad today:

> Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, and racial inequality experienced by black people. Its primary concerns are incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people. It started following the killings of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Rekia Boyd, among others. The movement and its related organizations typically advocate for various policy changes considered to be related to black liberation.

---

> The All Lives Matter movement was created as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Use of the phrase began as an inclusive alternative to Black Lives Matter, though it quickly became associated with opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement. The use of the All Lives Matter slogan on Twitter following the murders of Michael Brown and Eric Garner began in 2014 to "undermine the purpose and message of the #BlackLivesMatter call to action", and it was used to deny recognition of racial violence against African Americans. Some supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement adopted the All Lives Matter slogan to shift debate away from semantics, while others avoided the term entirely.

---

> Blue Lives Matter (also known as Police Lives Matter) is a countermovement in the United States advocating that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing law enforcement officers should be sentenced under hate crime statutes.

> Critics have pointed out that while being Black is an identity-based characteristic, being a police officer is a choice, and that police officers are already typically respected and honored in communities. They add that attacking or killing a police officer already carries a higher penalty than attacking a non-police officer, and argue that the movement is really more about suppressing minorities than supporting law enforcement.
Ah the 2010s, when people lusted over what life meant and fun descriptive articles like this tickled a little bit of joy.

Now people really want well structured, knowledgable examples that support emotions they like.

Horses for courses I guess, time sure has gone quickly.

The CCP will not go to war in Taiwan anytime soon. Maybe ever. Younger Chinese are absolutely against it, the invasion of Ukraine has undermined everything China has ever said about invasion. To mount an invasion of Taiwan would be significantly more difficult than Ukraine, and is not feasible anytime soon. In short, China cannot afford it, monetarily and they cannot afford the potential blowback in trade and investment.

The only people who want to take back Taiwan are older Chinese government, and military hardliners. They are rapidly losing that battle as time goes on.
Awesome. Hope every country on Earth bans it. We're human beings, not test subjects to be studied nor cattle to be sold to the highest bidder.

I’m just a hobbyist developer, and I really don’t need Rust’s safety or even speed for anything I do. I don’t even need a compiled executable. Instead I keep coming back to it because of the language itself. Its particular flavor of the type system, traits, generics, error handling, and syntax I just love. It just seems so well thought out and any time I’m using any other language I find myself missing many of Rust’s features.

As someone who’s generally pretty scatter-brained I really love the strictness of Rust.
Was it compilers alone? Or a complex mix of factors as software has eaten the world?

1. NATO which is primarily funded by the US has been pushing up closer and closer against Russia’s border.

2. US helped orchestrate the 2014 coup that overthrew a democratically elected but Russian friendly government.

3. Ukraine, being a US client state, refused to uphold the Minsk peace agreements.

4. Immediately prior to the invasion the US/Ukraine side of the proxy war escalated shelling of Russian leaning parts of Ukraine crossing known red lines.

5. Ukraine has outlawed Russian language, culture, religion, political parties, and jail those who practice them. Which we all know is how democracies function /s
I have AirPods and get tinnitus which comes and goes. At max volume they sound good but will make my ears ring after. It's the same for any headphones / loud noise source really. The answer is to turn it down a bit. I'd be willing to bet its the sound level that's the main thing rather than the type of headphone. For me 80db is fine, 100db causes issues but I'm sure people vary.

That's a problem in a lot of horror stories that attempt to follow Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos". They turn Cthulhu and rest of the Old Ones into evil demons who want to harm humanity. That makes them less interesting. The idea of cosmic horror is that these powerful beings simply don't care about humanity. Yes, if they return humanity will suffer, but that isn't their goal. And that is truly scary -- that we don't matter to the beings in power.

Well.. he did start a fairly successful business which requires at least an average understanding of human nature. And lots of other folks I respect way more than this guy, tend to agree with the sentiment that life is a game.
I checked his Twitter. He's English.

I checked the FAQ, it had this quote:

"I don’t have all of life’s answers. I write about what I know; what you don’t see is all of the things that I don’t know."

I haven't looked into his class background but I'd say so far your appraisal isn't looking completely Sherlock Holmesish.
How could whites be discriminated against if Asians would rise to 90% of the accepted population? There aren’t enough underrepresented minorities at selective all combined to get Asians to 90%. That is most of the pool that Asians would take is from White students. From a pure counting perspective, more whites get in over “more deserving” Asians than any other group (assuming your numbers are accurate).

Based on this Whites are the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action (by numbers), even if blacks are by ratio. There just aren’t enough blacks at these schools to make that much of a difference of scale.
Technically, what is it that makes GA (likely) violating?

Part of the issue is that data is transmitted outside the EU - but that seems easily fixable.

Storing a unique user id also isn’t - in itself - a violation, unless enough other data is stored to make it possible to connect a physical person to the id.
Magnet programs operating from kindergarten on are one possible solution. The problem is that these programs are being effectively phased out because less-astute normals are insulted that everyone doesn't qualify. Which is the inverse precise equivalent of eliminating special ed programs.

Efficient fixed-point arithmetic requires hardware support.

"Some DSP architectures offer native support for specific fixed-point formats, for example signed n-bit numbers with n−1 fraction bits (whose values may range between −1 and almost +1). The support may include a multiply instruction that includes renormalization—the scaling conversion of the product from 2n−2 to n−1 fraction bits.[citation needed] If the CPU does not provide that feature, the programmer must save the product in a large enough register or temporary variable, and code the renormalization explicitly."

I'm bored by the blatherers too, but there is survey data to indicate younger people drinking less than earlier generations.

why have analytics at all? don't track your users in any capacity. the only justification is to optimize something. don't optimize. simple, and free.
You’re right, much of this blog post is about winning the game of life in a western capitalist society. I don’t think that changes the fundamental message though, which is that your skills, experiences, and location are major factors in your overall success.

Norway is not the first. The French DPA have banned using GA for months now.
They need to stop that cycle by making exploitative surveillance capitalism illegal. Their very business model must be made illegal. Data on human beings must be a massive liability. They should be scrambling to forget everything about us the second our transactions are done. There should be no loophole, no conditions where it's acceptable, no "legitimate business need".

It's lucky for tech companies with EU customers that a ruling has only been made regarding a low-hanging fruit like Google Analytics that is relatively easy to replace. Exactly the same reasoning can be used to essentially ban the use of e.g AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Stripe and any other US infrastructure provider within the EU (they would only be legal to use as long as no personal information is ever stored on any of their servers, which in practice renders them useless).

I think there's a lot of companies hoping that the next "data transfer framework" negotiated between the EU and US lands before another EU court ruling triggers "infrastructuregeddon" - and that the new framework actually holds up in court, so we don't need to go through all this again.

Edit: Could the people downvoting maybe add a comment too? Is my comment factually incorrect or not adding to the discussion?

Very late models did have an MMU, but it was only partially used due its history.

Naturally I am not advocating zero changes, also compare with similar SGI devices of the time.

Amiga 3000 was released in 1990, so that would be SGI IRIS 4D, IRIS Indigo, and IRIS Crimson timeframe.

Also keep in mind that Amiga designers were UNIX fans, and Amiga only turned out that way because of constraints that made them pivot their original plan, so an Amiga with MMU could be something into that direction.

Not quite, since the CLOUD Act [0] was put in effect.

This is the gist of the problem:

The CLOUD Act primarily amends the Stored Communications Act (SCA) of 1986 to allow federal law enforcement to compel U.S.-based technology companies via warrant or subpoena to provide requested data stored on servers regardless of whether the data are stored in the U.S. or on foreign soil.

And this is under "International reactions":

The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) viewed the CLOUD Act as a law in possible conflict with the GDPR. The German Commissioner for Data Protection has warned against the use of US based Amazon Web Services for storing sensitive data for the Federal Police.

Well the thing with education is that there is always more to learn since knowledge keeps increasing. So arguably what you want to measure is productivity. Has television, say PBS increased educational productivity. I would say yes. I remember watching Nova shows in science class and so forth. So yes TV has reduced costs.

Books also increased productivity in the same way.

Would remote learning reduce costs? Yes.

Will AI systems reduce cost, yes.
Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are 3 that make up a Pacific encirclement (probably the Philippines and perhaps Australia if you want to go that far). Typically that’s what people refer to when they say “surrounded” but obviously China isn’t completely surrounded. The reason these three are used in this context is because Chinese power projection assumes an outward eastern presence in the Pacific and not westward or northward.

Though ultimately this is of China’s own doing. They broke the “don’t interrupt your enemy while they are making a mistake” rule with respect to the US and very rapidly turned the tide against themselves and now find that they are the ones making the mistake and seemingly unaware.

The mistake being supporting Putin, taking over Hong Kong prematurely, and pissing off the Philippines and Japan for no good reason. This has caused Pacific national to rally around America and has caused an American-skeptic Europe to unite strongly under NATO and turn China-skeptic. The whole “wolf-warrior” diplomacy thing was a massive fuck up.
They do not need foreign capital per se. They need foreign business expertise and technology in areas where domestic ones are not sufficient at the moment. For pure capital they have more than enough in US debt, maybe even too much, since they try to allocate as much of it as possible (e.g. using the one belt initiative) without launching RMB exchange rate into space.

With the mounting up US sanctions, trade wars, and "friend-shoring", China will have less and less interest in western investments.
Absolutely the point, you don't just stop dreaming.

LATERAL, VALUES, et al would object to that narrow designation.

Tables are just sets of records. Nothing more. Nothing less. SQL references tables as sets of records, but JOINs are referential subsets of tables, not complete tables themselves. And LATERALs may not even have a table underneath at all! Same with set-returning functions. generate_series(…) doesn't have any table under the covers; it's purely a dynamic set of values generated on the fly.

It's turtles all the way down.

As for duplicates, that's up to your defined constraints to sort out. You're right that SQL DML knows nothing about whether the underlying set of records contains duplicates. The DDL however can trivially define a set of records to have no duplicates based upon varying conditions/attributes.

Whether a set is ordered or not or has duplicates are not has no bearing whatsoever on whether the data is set-oriented or not.
I think he meant that Russia is pretty much surrounded by NATO allies, excluding of course China and this is something Russia is not to happy about (stated this many times in the past as NATO was expanding).
