I haven't seen anyone else mention Terminology yet. It uses an unconventional GUI framework (Enlightenment / EFL), but that aside, it's fast and has more or less all of the features you'd expect of a terminal: https:&#

Why would someone select "quad" trees in particular, instead of binary splitting at each level (in alternating dimensions; something like a K-D tree)? I.e., what are the tradeoffs? The article briefly mentions K-D trees at the v

Not at all. You quoted an American as if he speaks for Israeli policy; he does not and never did. That's the entire meat of this thread.

Meta is a US company and Reich is a US citizen offering commentary on US domestic policy. "Income" is unambiguously net income in the US.

> maybe the significant qualifications are on (1) in a way that make it meaningless. I don't agree with this. Are you willing to suggest any specific qualifications you take issue with, so the rest of us can consider them?

How do you figure? I'd think scarce and expensive RAM would push entry level models to smaller amounts of RAM.

Both numbers are wrong. Meta's actual income before tax was about $83 billion and its actual tax cost was $25 billion. This is an effective tax rate of ~30%. https://investor.atmeta.com/investor-news/press-release

In this instance, only two combinations -- accurate and favorable vs inaccurate and unfavorable. Meta and Meta's accountants spoke the truth in their audited financial statements. I cannot speak to the motivation in their hearts, but

Hey, he can advocate for whatever causes he likes. I just think honesty makes a more compelling argument than lies.

No, my usage was correct and unambiguous. Describing income as revenue is incorrect. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/122214/what-differe...

My understanding is that mitragynine is an mu-opioid partial agonist which limits its impact even in high doses. This is sort of in the same realm as Buprenorphine. Google claims it also doesn't recruit beta-arrestin but admittedly I

It's a weird framing. Fentanyl is already very safe in a healthcare setting. It's only dangerous in off-label street use, where dosage is uncontrolled and use isn't being monitored by trained staff. Do we think cartel labs

I don't think those statements can be true at the same time, without significant qualifications on (2) in a way that make it meaningless. Certainly not the reasonable straightforward reading of the phrase.

You can't just throw revenue in the denominator, though. Business tax is assessed on income. If you're going to make a claim about tax rate using an unconventional metric, you need to be explicit about what you've done; Rei

My impression is that slavery was economically disadvantageous the whole time, but persisted in the South because of the relative power of the slaveholders.

The goal of the IRS is to enforce payers paying the correct amount, not to like, extract some huge fraction of companies' annual revenue. If that's less than 1%, but it is net additional revenue for the Treasury, great.

So his comments represent the US, and don't represent Israel in any way?

Karma aside, flooding the comments with a chosen narrative via army of bots seems like it's already happening. I suppose the bots can also do voting rings, but they don't necessarily need to.
