Yeah our willingness to sanction Russia and all their oil, plunging europe into shortages kinda falsifies that theory. I wonder what the actual reason is :)
Why do people care so much about GDP, the number is higher now than for my parents generation but it is much harder for people now to buy a home/start a family. A recent thought I had is that less durable consumer goods actually increases our gdp by the same factor that it makes us poorer. If you have to replace a refrigerator every 5 years instead of 10 you are spending twice as much to have a fridge but GDP says you are twice as rich.
GDP is kinda like measuring a programmers productivity by LOC production. It is correlated with productivity when you are not judging based on it but once people start optimizing for it it no longer correlated.
Awesome if true. However it is unlikely we are getting sodomy laws back, republicans never actually get wins. They just exist to slow down the lefts agenda. Not that long ago Obama publicly said that he thought gay marriage should never be legal, something he obviously did not believe. I think people forget just how much things have changed in the last 10 year.
Yes slave is derived from the word slav as they were the victims of the brutal ottoman slave trade for hundreds of years. We should be nicer to our slavic bretheren.
I recently had an experience where I specifically ordered a part from the US for fast shipping. Something like a week or two later there was no activity on the shipping label, turned out it was being shipped from China. I called customer support and was told they would give me a refund. So I bought a replacement under the assumption the refund would process. The part mysteriously showed up the next day even though the shipping label said it was still in china.
I eventually got my refund and returned the product to seller, but it took something like 4 hours of phone calls over 11 different calls and 3 weeks and threatening a charge back. I haven't shopped at newegg since then and have been using Amazon since. Not ideal but they are much more reasonable about returns.
And Yet I see noone here talking about the (more) cruel experiments on dogs that Faucci supported. People find their principles whenever its convenient to attack someone they dislike for other reasons.
The chirp doesn't go to infinite frequency. The last rotation of the two black holes happens in some finite time, a time scale that gets longer the larger the black holes are.
This strikes me as wishful thinking, adblockers are such a small minority. They are just following the incentives they would always follow, adblockers or no.
And yet just the other day on the python 3.10 migration in arch stuff broke and I wasted a good day hunting the error down. The solution was installing python 3.6, which should hopefully work for a year or two until THAT is left unsupported.
Why is this so downvoted? I really missed the days of python 2.7, I spent far less time debugging breaking version changes and spent more time on my actual work.
For security critical work, like web services, it makes more sense to constantly upgrade to the newest version. But for scientific work, which is a huge audience of python users, who often use obscure poorly supported libraries there is a lot of value in a stable foundation.
