I implemented Teju Jaguá in Rust, based of the original C impl https://github.com/andrepd/teju-jagua-rs . Comparing to Zmij, I do wonder how much speedup is there on the core part of the algorithm (f 2^e -> f 10^e)

Gore Verbinski directed a film trilogy with absolutely impeccable art direction and possibly the best special effects in the history of film (they're also, subjectively, some of my favourite films of all time). He knows what he's

> But, one silver lining, maybe, is gamblers are a little less likely to fall for fake news. Maybe? 5 minutes browsing polymarket comments will dispel that notion really fast.

> I think the simplified version of that reason is: no one really believes in anything anymore, except in the value that acquiring money by any means necessary is a good thing. Hit the nail on the head and these are my thoughts exactly.

My favourite station is Rokin, because it includes an amazing display of these artifacts (from Roman dishes to Nokia 3310s) in between the escalators that take you to the platform . It's incredible. https://www.reddit.com

I'm reading the Diamond article you liked and I cannot understand for the lift of me what you wanted? The Brittanica article seems substantially poorer. Note also that a key feature of Wikipedia is the hyperlinks! If you don't

They took our jerbs is a perfectly valid argument for people which face ruin without a jerb. Capitalism is not prepared nor willing to retrain people, drastically lower the workweek, or bring about a UBI sourced from the value of the common

Which orgs are you talking about specifically? Don't sling mud in such a vague way. Here's Amnesty's homepage https://www.amnesty.org/en/ . The UN has already issued statements. What do you mean exactly?

A 100% rate LVT would not solve, but would certainly massively improve, this situation. The free market is ill-suited for many things and has tremendous problems, but even in its theoretical ideal it simply does not work if a limited comm

Israel is a terrorist regime that commits genocide against Palestinians. What use is it if the ones fighting it are terrorists as well? In your hypothetical world where Iran is the strongest regional power, what does that accomplish? The Pa

Yes, both Venezuela and (in your hypothetical) Iran would certainly be better and not worse after US intervention. How could they not, with such a great track record (Iraq, Lybia, Chile, Guatemala,...)!
