Interesting, 14% is the combined ownership of Blackrock and Vanguard.

It's tempting to think that the governments of these states have been infiltrated by their enemies.

Chrome OS is the new Windows. Go to Walmart and look for a normal PC, you won't find one, just Chromebooks.

It's not possible to be Racist towards White people in White majority countries.

"Racism" was invented by Trotsky: a Bolshevik who applied Karl Marx's ideas about class oppression to race. The idea behind Racism is that you have an oppressing race that is Racist towards the oppressed races. The English dictionaries have attempted to change the definition to mean something more like racial bigotry but that's not how people use it. The behavior of the policy makers who argue for this kind of thing still matches Trotsky's ideas.

If you don't like this then stop using their words, what you want to talk about is called "racial bigotry."

This happens in the US too. This kind of thing is why I'm using crypto for as much as I can, I always feel like my bank account might disappear one night and all the money in it will be tied up for a month or so. It's already happened to me once.

It's a shame Apple killed the Apple ][ line. I would have loved to see what a 32 bit Apple ][ would look like.

Is it even that? People tolerate a lot more artifacts in 3D than 2D. If you wrote a 2D graphics engine that used triangles as primitives people probably wouldn't like it (and it would probably render text very slowly.)

I would have far preferred being able to pick a default folder or tag to put photos in so they're organized when I take them without the need for any ML. That's what the camera script I wrote for my Pinephone does. Important photos get human readable names when after the first time I use them.

It turns out if you actually use your computer intelligently it's very pleasant to use.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case. IME you're better off either going from scratch, using gentoo, or using a different distro rootfs if they have appropriate binaries and just maintaining a custom kernel.

I think that applies up to actual violence. I'm pretty sure the show would stop if there was a fight. Regardless the guy's reaction would have been very different and security would have hauled Will out.

We already have tools for this. Important work should be in version control and application authors who want more out of open have sqlite. People need open/read/write to work with the file directly and I don't want shell tools scattering backup files everywhere.

It doesn't matter, Russia has a demographic problem even worse than the US and is going to have a collapse. Something like Japan would be a best case scenario for them but I don't think they have the economy to support it.

Why is everyone acting like this was real? The security was briefed about it and it was obviously staged, the fake slap motion is extremely recognizable. Not having retakes and good camera angles makes it even more obvious.

If someone were physically assaulted while announcing something live they wouldn't smile at the audience and say "oh wow <x> just slapped the shit out of me." There would be chaos and security and that would probably be the end of the event.

I watched the video and I immediately regretted it. IMO this was mostly just a trick to get people to care about whatever event that was in some way as the industry behind it needs it.

EDIT: What the hell? Down votes? I hate complaining about them but how does this not contribute to the discussion? No one even argues against any of this. I'd wonder if people were being payed to do it but it's such a slow trickle it seems legitimate.

Either I'm losing my mind or half the developed world is.

LLVM is as much a virtual machine as the "C Virtual Machine" from the spec is. To my knowledge there are no LLVM IR interpreters.

If that stopped people they could just fill the entire canvas and deny people from drawing. You can change your layer priority (which is global.)

I don't know about you but Linear Algebra was the first abstract mathematics I was ever exposed to.

I've pulled a lot of my money out into crypto currency now. Often my wallet is worth more than my checking account.
