Why use float when output is boolean?

Liberalism is the ideology that says everyone should have equal rights, freedom of speech etc except "bad/troublesome actors".

In practice, bad/troublesome actors can include anyone. This ideology was created in early USA and in britain. And its proponents, on one hand said "equal rights for all" but also had slaves. In britain, liberals supported the subjugation of india because india was "a bunch of barbaric savages who needed to be civilized". Today immigrants or religious minorities are also excluded from these rights under the pretense of national security.

What we have today is neo-liberalism, that extends liberalism to include economic policies such as capitalism, and finance banking etc. (There's probably more to it, but i am a bit rusty in my knowledge about this topic).

You also need epigenome not just genome

They didn't become rich by taking smart decisions, they took the ones that made them money. Climate crisis is what it is today because of profit maximization. Certainly, they also live in this environment. They also get microplastics in their bodies.

Frankly, that's a stupid ass take.

Reality is not binary, we progress and evolve. The constant pressure to be better than yesterday is the reason we got where we are.

There was a recentish model, qwen next that was advertised as smth that can be run entirely on RAM.

Nope, its worse. 1$ is worth far more in a poor person's pocket than a rich one. Taxation atleast tries to be more fair by taxing based on income.

In general I agree with you, but I would refrain from using evolution/DNA example. Because then it leads to 'social darwinism'.

Evolution does not mean 'more evolved is better' but rather 'more suited to the environment'.

Take psychopathy (or even apthy towards minority groups) as an example, in a capitalist system, psychopathy is more evolved because you get to climb the corporate ladder faster.

But this assumes that capitalism is unchanging, and final form of our society. But in reality, we can change the system. Under socialism or social democracy (with strict laws), psychopathy would no longer be 'more evolved'.

To be more precise, i was alluding to capitalism

If we just focused on maximizing profits, it would efficiently allocate all the resources among the people. And if this system does cause inequalities, then it must be coming externally from outside the system.

I just think it is more efficient to say 'huh?' Than to attempt at answering incorrectly. If the brain can figure out the question, with enough context, you can just answer it before they repeat. Otherwise you just have to listen again.

I think our brain already figured this out and do this on its own

Israel needs a political purge.

 

Either on tor or i2p?

As for why, well the world is becoming more and more "surveilance state". I can imagine a future where pro palestinian people be considered "terrorism supporter" across the world, i think we are all already being monitored.

Then, we have chat control in EU, palantir contracts in Germany, and a general rise in fascism and techno-fascism.

All in all, I think either our presence on darkweb happens now or later. Except its going to be more difficult later.

So whats our options? Anyone have any ideas?

 

So I decided to use my really old pixel 3a as a test of sorts. It has calyxos, with always on VPN (surfshark). I have no accounts on it, google or anything else. I usually use it for streamio or tiktok.

But I have noticed that I am still getting video recommendations based on what my flatmate watches (we share an internet router). Or what I watch on my other non-VPNed devices.

So what gives?

I am looking for an explanation as to why its happening, not just how to fix it. Btw I also use private DNS so dns leaking is not the likely culprit.

Anyone knows how to debug this info leak?

Hi, I am taking part in a research project and for that I need to conduct a very small survey. It is about the daily challenges faced by parents raising children who struggle with ADHD and aggressive behavior. My goal is to better understand the specific difficulties families encounter, so we can identify and develop more effective resources and support.

We are currently in the very early phase where we conduct this survey and later, me and my team will be working towards creating a technical solution (most likely an app) for emotional fitness and mental health for this.

Thanks in advance for taking the time in filling out the survey.

Here are the questions:

  1. What are the most challenging moments or behaviors you encounter with your child on a typical day?

  2. How does your child's ADHD and aggression impact their relationships with you, their siblings, friends, or classmates?

  3. What strategies or methods have you tried to manage your child's aggressive behavior, and how effective have they been?

  4. How does your child's condition affect your personal life, mental health, and/or relationships with others?

  5. What resources, support systems, or information do you feel would help you most in managing your child's challenges?

Keep in mind that, it is obviously anonymous and you don't have to answer all the questions, just as much as you can answer. So no pressure!
