Someone already pointed out the individual parts, but to give a bit more context, every major party in the German Bundestag has government funded foundation to put out policy ideas and pamphlets/ideological positions. It is an attempt to have a publicly funded and institutional alternative to think tanks. The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is the Left Party's (die Linke) foundation. Just as a fun irony the SPD's foundation is the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

Since die Linke is in such a dire state and might go through a split (I haven't kept up to date with where things are currently) there is the possibility the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation might not continue to get public funding and might disappear.

In America, dental and health insurance are separate. And many jobs that provide health insurance can often not provide dental insurance. There is a reason teeth are referred to as the "luxury bones".

The whole cave parable is like "what if the reality I experience is but a crude approximation and ill defined shadows cast by the real world? And I am forced to sit and observe reality this way."

This basically sounds like a description of when I am really drunk and my vision is blurring and doubling before blacking out (which itself proves impermanence and subjectivity of reality, if you think about it).

I think Plato was an alcoholic trying to dress things up in a baroque philosophical framework to justify it.

It's been a long time since my exposure to these weirdos, but I think I remember it being some bullshit evo-psych. Because hormonal birth control mimics pregnancy, it turns off women's preference for good quality mates that will produce good offspring and provide for the family, and instead settle down with a nearby man, since the act is already done.

I haven't really dived into the IEEE standards here, but this is a real thing and not purely marketing. It is the resolution of the lithography. Due to the higher clock speeds and current resolutions, the capacitance and inductance of the elements set the size of transistors and routing, rather than just how small you can pattern them. So it is not directly increasing transistor density and processing power, but it means that you are patterning elements more accurately to what you designed and have less variation element to element. Meaning that things can be optimized and more consistent.

You always have low yield when developing new processes. You can't make a 7nm process by just running 14nm at high throughput/low yield. This is just R&D and process development.

I still stand by my stance that Union Pacific is a poorly run railroad.

Hi, my siblings suggested that a present for our grandparents (younger silent generation) could be a digital picture frame that all the grandchildren could remotely upload pictures to. What I want to ask is if there are any that have an open protocol or open source alternate firmware that could be flashed to them, or otherwise can be recovered and used if the tech company making them goes out of business or just decides to stop supporting them.

So far, anything stable and user friendly enough for old people rules out trying to replicate an open source project from Hackaday, github, etc. I found and everything commercial I found seems to risk being a piece of e-waste in 6 months if the company goes out of business or decides that product isn't making enough money to keep supporting the app.

This is mostly about how Liberals get upset with celebrating deaths of people with even if they "totally disagree with them and agree they were bad" like Kissinger or Rumsfeld or whoever. Not saying that conservatives are celebrating Kissinger in particular.

Though a minority of conservatives hate Kissinger out of a broader sense of isolationism or just anti-Semitism.

Well, judging by the symbol on its chest, they are DemSoc (not real socialist).

It’s part of removing the focus on Ukraine. Russia is calling in its favors to create a new second ( Israel) and third front in the Middle East. The efforts are to embroil the US in its own quicksand then ,using more ammo and people, grind down Ukraine during the coming winter.

Is the Middle East prepared to slaughter their own people for “favors”? If yes, how many more?

Is Russia prepared to…. Oh wait.

Why is it always projection: Russia's is using the backwards Middle Easterners to distract and weaken America. Russia is willing to fight to the last Iraqi.

If we put Biden in a closed box and refuse to observe him, he will be in the two states of dead and alive like Schrödinger's cat. The perfect solution
