Hopefully someone will eventually run plagiarism detection tools on every single doctoral and master's degree thesis ever submitted at every university worldwide. We need to make an example of those who committed academic fraud by ruin

Is that why the EU economic growth rate is so stagnant?
513.
by nradov 5mo ago
I'm not defining anything. I'm just explaining why the key decision makers actually created the EU. The statements made for public consumption shouldn't be taken too seriously.
514.
by nradov 5mo ago
Let's not overstate the case. The EU was built to keep France and Germany from getting into another war, and it has been successful at that. All the other "principles" are just window dressing.

The economic survival of running as an elite or professional sport depends on sponsorship from shoe companies. So super shoes aren't going to be banned. It's too late to go back. World Athletics defines the rules for shoes in most

It's stupid to think that preventing LLMs from giving instructions on building nuclear weapons is at all worthwhile. Total waste of effort, done for PR purposes only. The knowledge has been published in open literature for decades. The

That's meaningless. First, there's no evidence that one legal agent would be 10x better than another. Second, winning a case requires more than just a good lawyer. At some point you have to actually have the facts and/or law

I don't know why you think the EU definition of human rights matters at all? The comment I responded to was about Europe . Belarus is part of Europe. As are Serbia, Moldova, etc.
520.
by nradov 5mo ago
So are you claiming that human rights are subjective and not universal? Or that it's acceptable for the EU to violate human rights if the USA is worse in some ways? Belarus is a European country. How is freedom of the press doing there
521.
by nradov 5mo ago
And yet the EU legislature seems to be actively hostile to some human rights, such as the right to free expression and the right to keep and bear arms. How do you account for that discrepancy?

Why is there insufficient new housing development in your region?

Efficient capital allocation is a net positive for society.

The notion of earning "passive income" as a landlord is a total fantasy. The reality is that it takes a lot of work. Otherwise tenants, vendors, and property managers will wreck the assets and rob you blind.

If foreign nationals are able to extract a lot of capital through rents then that's a sign that the government has made it too difficult to develop new rental housing.

And academia will become even more toxic as opportunities shrink along with declining student enrollment. A lot of the third-tier colleges will close entirely.

Why would that matter? Are you getting confused by thinking that the "labor theory of value" is a real thing?

What are the other ways that are proven to work over the long term at scale?

Ironically the "environmental" movement has in some ways actually set us back by opposing clean, safe nuclear power.

What's wrong with the argument? Do entertainers get a free pass?

Why should we believe that your opinion is more objective than other market participants?

I'm suggesting that newer developers will find Exif to be quite different from hierarchical file formats that use delimiters between data elements, as is common practice lately with XML / JSON / YAML / etc. And it is tec

by nradov 5mo ago
Exif is totally unlike what modern developers would think of as a "file format". It's more like dumping a set of binary block data structures from memory to disk. This was efficient on old digital cameras with minimal hardwar

It's so stupid that we have to do geotagging as a post processing step with separate software. That could be built in to the camera with a GNSS receiver or smartphone Bluetooth link with minimal impact on cost or battery life. And yet

What's your point? Ukraine has successfully hit many military targets in Moscow with a variety of weapons. Why would they bother with civilian targets when there are so many vulnerable military targets to choose from? Ukraine was bar

What an ignorant comment. Ukraine has attacked Moscow many times with drones and cruise missiles. And good luck to them, I hope they destroy Moscow completely. https://abcnews.com/amp/International/ukrainian-drones
