If they are right, then the US is fucked.

I really think they are wrong, and that the US is less fucked, but well, I've been wrong several times in my life.

It would help if every distro out there didn't make the cesspool their default DE.

When Gnome doesn't work, for close to everybody it means that Linux doesn't work.

The US government seems to want people to violently revolt.

I imagine they want to use it as an excuse to take absolute power. But I don't think they thought it thoroughly.

They didn't.

They just learned to filter the nazis out. They are still talking there, with their posts diluted and unrecoverable by untrained people.

abducting attention

Yeah... That's not what you want in a sign at the side of a street.

AI should start breaking code much sooner than it can start fixing it.

Maybe breaking isn't even far, because the AI can be wrong 90% of the time and still be successful.

Accelerometers do use a relatively large amount of power.

But if your thing has haptic feedback, it's safe to say the battery is going all into it.

Nah, they also don't like when we move slowly and keep things working either.

Notice how filling a void just created another, larger void.

You can't win.

I don't think on this specific case anybody has given him anything.

Again, I don't really understand anything about what he's thinking. But on the case of Argentina the money seems to be flowing the other way around, and on the case of Brazil the president would reap lots of benefits if Trump antagonized him further.

Hum... Trump has been throwing lavish praise on Brazil too recently.

He may have discovered that the US can't stay rich by isolating themselves. But he has been praising countries that are mostly economic competitors, instead of customers or suppliers. I don't understand how he thinks.

You are correctly trying to say it's well defined, but you are complaining about the wrong comment. You should check the meaning of "arbitrary" again.

Anyway, it's not entirely arbitrary because it was created to represent a "round" fraction of the Earth's circumference that is similar to the length of a person's arms. But it deviated from that too, so it's subjective how much that counts.

 

As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

 

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?
