Gotta keep in mind this is a ban on ‘state devices and networks.’

Yea in this case I think it's entirely reasonable. I don't think any (Ad)Tech software should be allowed on state devices or networks. It's a security concern whether it's a company in the USA or a foreign company gathering every ounce of data it can hoover up.

How is session type made available in the federation? I wasn't aware that was shared on the protocol.

Only your instance knows your IP and what links you visited. But everyone can see your votes.

You're right. The USA has plenty of wealth and resources and just chooses to let its people starve rather than helping them. Those other countries don't have that luxury.

For the "spec" (the * * * * * part), try https://crontab.guru/. Some distributions have shortcut specs like @hourly or @daily so you don't have to type * */1 * * * etc.

The crontab generally has a header that shows the units columns, but if not, they're: m h dom mon dow command.

From * * * * * /usr/bin/sct 2750 I'm guessing you want to run every minute. If that's the case, as another commented pointed out, try */1 * * * * /usr/bin/sct 2750, meaning every 1 minute.

I have plenty of times plenty of other places. I don't feel like repeating that to someone who's pulling this "I speak for everyone here, ..." nonsense. That alone I felt should be called out.

There are myriad other opinions than the ones you hold. People are varied in their beliefs. You don't speak for everyone. Generally you can't even confidently say you speak for the majority. You can only speak for yourself, and that's all you should do. Attempting to prop up or elevate your personal views by couching them in a fake "look everyone shares my view" is just dishonest.

People aren’t going hungry in capitalist countries.

Are you kidding? People go hungry constantly in capitalist countries, it's just perhaps people you are told not to care about.

• Homeless people routinely go hungry.
• Disabled people routinely go hungry.
• Low-income people routinely go hungry.
• With the sociopathic demonization of free lunch programs for kids in schools, children routinely go hungry.

Food bank usage has soared, which doesn't solve the problem, but simply temporarily alleviates it for those who have access to food banks. Many places don't have food banks accessible, and if you don't have transportation, getting to the nearest is not always feasible.

I have first-hand experience of going hungry, being in a capitalist country. To pretend it doesn't happen is to be blind and ignorant.

How'd you get the pass to talk for everyone?

We the public

We all

Ben Wallace does not speak for the vast majority of us, neither do his colleagues in the rest of the party of “me”.

Ah I see, Ben Wallace doesn't speak for us because you do. Got it.

This is really obnoxious behavior to think that you speak for everyone; to assume everyone has the same beliefs you do.

The entire war on drugs is a racist endeavour that has created racist drug laws.

"You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

but for graphics in general, the 4th coordinate is important, even if it is “usually” 1.

Who said it isn't? Transformation matrices acting on R³ are 4x4 (since transformation matrices acting on Rⁿ are of dimension n+1 in general), whether they're full rank or not.

I'm writing this as someone who has not done much with Godot, but from the mathematical standpoint, two Transform3Ds do not commute in general. There are situations in which they will commute, though. If they are both pure rotations, they will commute if their rotation axes are the same.

Edit to add: This was based on thinking about a Transform3D as a transformation matrix acting on R³.

Capitalism sure is efficient at exploiting externalities. SpaceX gets to ignore the difficulty and cost of stopping radiation pollution. The cost gets externalised to research institutions, academic researchers, government agencies (and so indirectly the taxpayer), and other corporations. Whereas it might cost $X for SpaceX to not cause the problem in the first place, it might cost $10X or $50X or more when everyone else has to duplicate cost and effort to overcome SpaceX's pollution.

It’s just difficult to fathom that the largest economy in the world

Using GDP PPP as measure, the size of China's economy surpassed that of the USA as far back as 2014. It is currently about 25% larger.

About 16% of China's exports in 2022 were to the USA. It would certainly be a significant hit, but to suggest there would no longer be adequate demand is unlikely to be true.

For example, Russian oil exports lost a lot of their direct importers, yet demand has not dropped significantly or in a way that is harmful for them. The volume of their exports has remained relatively constant, but the fraction of the total that different importing countries represent has changed. Even the price dip recovered.

I want to point out that the fraction of imports/exports between the USA and China is roughly symmetric (by monetary value). In 2022, about 16% of China's exports were to the USA; in 2021, about 17% of the USA's imports were from China.

That being said, you're probably making a valid point about which items are flowing, not just the raw value of goods.

Also, I would think it's generally easier for a producer to find new buyers of what it's already producing, than for a buyer to find a new producer for what it needs.

Edit to add: If we look at the ratio "Exports/Imports", we have about 0.3 for the USA with China, and we have about 3.3 for China with the USA.

No of course you can't opt out of the social credit score.

what you watch on it is absolutely used to adjust your credit score.

And yet another bold claim that you are even being so bold as to say is absolutely true. Do you have evidence for this one, either?

I'm asking you to defend your claim that not using TikTok specifically affects your social credit score.

So no, i don’t have a direct source that says “you must use this app or your credit score goes down”, i have a reasonable informed idea that it probably does, based on china’s current treatment of it’s citizens.

This absolutely doesn't follow. Can you elaborate on your logic here? There is no obvious line of reasoning from "china's current treatment of its citizens" to "TikTok is mandatory". Your imagination is not evidence of something.

Why, do you happen to a single or any even tangentially related source pretending it doesn’t?

I'm not the one asserting that failure to use TikTok negatively affects your social credit score; no, I can't find a source that explicitly states "not using TikTok doesn't affect your social credit score", because that's not how this works. You make a positive assertion you provide evidence to back that up.

Well I'm sorry you can't fathom that there is potential future value in old games. I even said that we can't know the future value of something like this, so the safest thing to do is to just preserve them as well as we can.

Do you disagree with all of the explicit examples of ways it can be valuable that I laid out? Or do you simply want to assert the games are "meaningless" and ignore every way in which value can still be derived, or could be derived in the future, from them?

I suspect you haven't actually thought this through and are just being antagonistic for fun; that's how it comes off, anyway.

Jesus christ. What useless reporting, every time. Are they paid by the word? These have the same template-looking structure and both have their word count highly inflated with zero added value.

What a horrible source. This is really shit reporting.

They've hyperlinked the word "hot dogs" to another article on their site titled "Hot dogs sold as ‘vegan’ dogs at Tel Aviv Hanukkah event".

They've also spent part of the article estimating the average hot dog size, converting it between units, and converting the reported asteroid size into hot dog units.

All of the section headers are lame hotdog based puns.

This whole shitty presentation adds nothing to the article. It's distracting. In fact, if you take out this bullshit, the article is really only a couple of meaningful paragraphs. And while there is absolutely value in comparing an asteroid size to a daily object (say, "the size of a car"), there is absolutely zero value, perhaps negative value, in comparing an asteroid size to a collection of sequential hot dogs, or two superbowl trophies.

I could somewhat understand if NASA themselves where putting out press releases with these weird comparisons: that would be a somewhat playful and innocent way to increase public interest. But when it is coming from third-party sources, who push it way past the point of playfulness into absurdity, it loses any value.

Also, unless I'm missing it: they don't even link to a NASA statement. So it's pure editorializing without linking to their primary source.
