Side debate: the USA "ceasing to exist" from the view of a native American, in a manner analogous to Palestinians, would be the status quo that already exists today. In opposition to a racially exclusive "white supremacy" manifest dystenity.

The USA already functions as a de facto One State solution where natives have both full rights and a negotiated sub-nationality too. The manifest destiny USA's "right to exist" was settled definitively against as early as 1865.
I've written a lot of Object Pascal (meaning the Delphi dialect of Pascal, not the older Apple dialect) over the years and... i don't think there is anything special about it :-P. It has a bunch of neat features (and a bunch of not so neat pitfalls) but really IMO the three main reasons to use it is that:

1. It has decent backwards compatibility (code i wrote even 20 years ago compiles either out of the box or with very minimal change - e.g. if you used strings as byte buffers or if you relied on some esoteric RTTI implementation details you may need to change some things but the changes are quick and trivial).

2. Lazarus is a fast and responsive IDE with RAD functionality for making GUIs (and other stuff, e.g. i haven't used it myself much but you can do things like configure visually via the IDE how a webapp will respond to various URLs) and FCL and LCL provide a rich frameworks for desktop applications.

3. The compiler is relatively fast. Delphi's compiler (at least the classic one) is much faster but compared to -e.g.- current C++ compilers, FPC is much faster (it takes less than a minute to compile Lazarus itself and AFAIK the codebase is more than a million lines of code - there is 2 million lines of code in the repo but you don't compile everything).
And to underscore that, the CCP has openly said and planned to be the dominate financial, political, and military force on the globe. Their intention and actions are exactly to reduce not just US influence but all other influence. Neither France nor India take that stand point. A country hell bent on global domination has never worked anyway.
MySQL stores the PK with every secondary index, and uses it to retrieve the requested rows (unless the query is covered by the index). I’d think for most queries, this would result in a similar slowdown.
"Human Rights Watch solicited cases of any type of online censorship and of any type of viewpoint related to Israel and Palestine. Of the 1,050 cases reviewed for this report, 1,049 cases documented involved examples of online censorship and suppression of content in support of Palestine, while one case contained an example of removal of content in support of Israel."

Even ignoring the self-selection sampling issues here, .01% is not exactly something to just wave off.

No, it didn't happen with Hitler, and more importantly, it regrettably (for you) didn't happen in the case of Allende, which is what we are discussing.

So,

First order of business: fuck you.

Second order of business: you support a murderous dictatorship that actually did what you claim to reject -- namely, overthrowing democracy and stopping free elections, seasoned with an unhealthy dose of mass murder and torture -- while disregarding an elected democratic president which happened to be communist and who didn't stop the rule of democratic law nor cancel elections.

So it seems you just don't like democracy.

Third: I'm uninterested in discussing your dumb hypotheticals, like "what if Allende was secretly Hitler's clone?". You are attempting the stupidest distraction tactic ever. Stop.

And then you'd still probably die of starvation or some variation of malnutrition, for lack of the physical capacity to consume the 17 lbs of bamboo a day necessary to sustain 2000 kcal intake.

I'm not even entirely sure that the act of consuming it yields more calories from consumption than consumed in exertion for humans.

Most species that subsist on bamboo are sedentary and spend significant fractions of their time and energy simply masticating.
The VGHF helped with setting up the display for that event. Frank Cifaldi, founder of the VGHF, has explained the sordid tale of that display on some podcasts. Basically, the VGHF was hired to make a display. They provided a draft version. Google's people came back and were adamant that the display had to have those failed products as well. The VGHF repeatedly warned Google of the horrible optics of showing those products. Google went ahead.

To this day, Frank does not know why Google wanted these products. My guess? Those products had great SEO on Google Search and YouTube. Lots of people watched videos about them. The managerial class at Google was uninterested by the fact those products had tons of searches and views because they sucked!

Differences Between NT Server and Workstation Are Minimal (1996)
The average monthly electricity bill in Iowa is $142 [1], or $1,704 annually. As of 2022, Iowa's population was roughly 3.2 million [2], giving an estimated electricity consumption of ~$532 per capita annually. What has to happen for near energy independence to translate to near zero cost? Granted the amortization of installed wind generation is not zero, but I am certain it is not $532 per capita.

Interesting side note. Previously, Iowa had one operating base load nuclear plant - the Duane Arnold Energy Center in Palo, which ran for over 40 years before permanently shutting down in August 2020 due to economic reasons and damage from a derecho storm.

Traditional masonry, but instead of subtractively carving precision stone shapes from larger units of source material they create custom shapes in an additive process. Given the reactions here I'm not sure that a "bright to nowhere" was a good idea as a demonstration project, but I guess their target audience are architecture professionals who will easily see the process begins the demo.

I wonder how much of the recycled material really is concrete: the writing seems to carefully tread around any specifics, trying to distract with absolute quantities. Could it be that this "concrete ink" is basically a composite of recycled plastic and ground concrete? I'd imagine that this could achieve limestone-like performance while pretend-solving disposal.
This is just some 2nd rate philosopher's attempt to be relevant by inventing a term that describes an already existing aspect of pessimism.
You don't have to like Sam. But people who do big things, by definition, have to get there by pushing things along at a cadence that differs from most other people. I'm not necessarily saying it's a good thing, but I don't get why every article about Sam seems to be surprised that the guy who helped build something nobody thought was possible (AI this decade) got there by doing things in a fast, unique way.

If he followed the norms, he'd be a mid-level manager at FAANG company.

>They don't know that just in the 70s and 80s China was having mass starvations. Their appreciation of their government's ability to lift them out of that and the century of humiliation they had before that is not small (unlike americans).

The mass starvations in the 70s and 80s were because of that same government; while Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong were rapidly developing, China was putting people in jail for trying to sell their goods and agricultural products on the private market. The GDP per capita of Taiwan is still three times higher than that of mainland China, which wouldn't be the case if China didn't have a government that made private enterprise illegal for a few decades.

He literally made the Philosopher's Stone, although uneconomical
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_T._Seaborg

"""In 1980, he transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth-209 into gold (197
Au) at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His experimental technique, using the lab's Bevalac particle accelerator, was able to remove protons and neutrons from the bismuth atoms by bombarding it with carbon and neon nuclei traveling near the speed of light.[47] Seaborg's technique would have been far too expensive to enable routine manufacturing of gold, but his work was close to the mythical Philosopher's Stone.[48][49] As gold has four fewer protons and (taking the only naturally occurring bulk isotopes of either) eight fewer neutrons than bismuth, a total of twelve nucleons have to be removed from the bismuth nucleus to produce gold using Seaborg's method."""

This is a fallacy. You can't say "this other CEO did something" if you're trying to make a point about Sam. If you have a problem with Sam doing something illegal, say it.

I'm not saying Sam has never done anything illegal, but most of the outrage seems to be that he doesn't follow social/business norms (not that he doesn't follow rules/regulations/laws).
He's not unique, instead very textbook sociopath. Lines up with the alleged abuse of his younger sister too. There's not much more to him than a wheeler and dealer, self serving abuser.

> CCP is much worse than putin and their goal is not to coexist with the west

The CCP has honestly been fine. (See: Jintao and Xiaoping.)

The problem is Xi. He is a dictator. He repeatedly makes decisions that benefit him in the short term and the expense of China’s long-term prospects. This is very different from his predecessors, and requires treating China differently than we did when they had political competition and the capacity for reflection.
It's easy enough to mess up conversions between amplitudes of a unit (ex. milliamps vs amps) and having a standardized and well-tested way of doing so is important for reliability and safety critical systems IMO.

If Stadia was strictly a subscription service, I bet it would still exist. People have already forgotten, but you had to buy the games on the service. On top of that there was a subscription to increase your stream's resolution. The pricing was already too complicated and the thing was brand new!

With customers already aware of the fickle nature of Google, nobody wanted to buy something that only gave you access to a game on Google's servers. It's actually surprising that Google reimbursed everyone. Nobody expected that, and nobody bought anything on the service because no one expected Google to reimburse when they inevitably shut it down.
Yeah. Especially for free without peering charges like the ones ISPs charge so you can get internet

Extremely fine point of distinction that's important here: a condo is treated as real-estate, but it isn't. (Condo ownership is really more of a transferrable, indefinite exclusive use-right.) Real-estate is fundamentally about buying and selling plots of land, and is only coincidentally about what's sitting on those plots. Buying a condo doesn't put you in top-level possession of a plot of land; even if the building is a residential co-op, what you'd get would be equity in a corporation that holds the plot of land. For non co-op buildings, you don't even get that.

For legal and tax purposes, most countries do abstract over the separate low-level concepts of plot-of-land ownership and condo ownership, resulting in a legal ADT called a "lot"; where each "lot" has its own title that can only be transferred through a notarized process; has yearly property taxes levied against it in proportion to its market value; etc. This isn't a natural abstraction, though — just a common legal "interface" used by the government to manage instances of the two separate underlying contractual implementations. Those implementations still each have their own separate laws that apply to them.

Which brings me to the point: foreigners are forbidden from owning plots of land in the Philippines.

That doesn't stop you from owning a condo — because buying a condo doesn't translate to buying any land.

But you can't legally buy a house in the Philippines — since that purchase would come with land. (Or rather, is a purchase of land, where that land happens to at this moment have a house on it.)

Instead, to do something equivalent to buying a house, you'd need

1. a Philippines citizen (a real proxy person) to buy the house for you, and then assign you

2. a 99-year transferrable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leasehold_estate on the land, explicitly written to come with

3. possession of the "materials that make up all current structures built on the land" (so you can tear the house down, if you like), and

4. the right to build whatever other new structures you like on the land, and use them for whatever purposes you see fit, including subletting.

(I'm actually not sure whether there's any legal instrument the proxy-person can grant you that would allow you to apply to re-zone "your" land. They might have to apply for that in your stead!)

If he was brilliant and high agency, rather than a sociopath, what would be doing differently right now? The phrase "wheeler and dealer" rarely applies to people who have genuinely changed the world forever; why do you put him in that category when he clearly has had tangible results?

The thing is, one side has seen a loss of life measuring around 20,000 in the past couple months and the other side less than 2,000. So this kind of flattening of "pro-Palestinian vs pro-Israeli" obscures the reality of the situation.

Concerns about "factual views" are orthogonal to which side is getting more press. It is likely (increasingly so, considering the number of times Israel has had to walk back serious claims like the alleged Hamas command center under al-Shifa hospital) that the facts do not support the Israeli narrative and that the level of presence of those claims in the current discourse have come to reflect the news media's skepticism of such claims.
