It's nakedly political.

Also worth considering that the author refers to herself with the title "Dr.", suggesting an implicit demand to receive all the respect and prestige that presumptively attends such an honorific.

The context for the timing of this hit-piece is that he was recently a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast.

Today, in response to the query, "What is zero divided by zero?", Siri still gives a flip explanation (but now omitting the reference to Sesame Street intellectual property), followed by the one word sentence "No.". And

Siri is the worst with this, but instead of "cutesy", when it's failing to execute a simple command, it goes for a smarmy and sarcastic response. I'll never understand the mindset of the putative audience who its designe

Even after all that exegesis, your presumptive point remains obscure. The top-level comment is relevant because it happens to describe the malicious credulity of the journalism consumers who chose to believe the mass graves narrative.

What are you claiming to be wrong?

by prvc 4y ago
What kind of journalist uses "unearthed" metaphorically in a story about purported graves?

Hard to imagine that what he did (in order to repair a single copy) doesn't have a massively greater negative environmental impact than obtaining a mass-produced replacement. Unless this were done at scale, it would probably be counter

The opposite--- they are effectively covering for each other. They (the orgs, more generally) are complicit in allowing this dysfunctional rent-seeking monopoly to continue and expand. This was a political failure long before before the &qu

Do you have a source for your claim that the imposition of reparations was motivated by a desire for "revenge"?

Can this be done for all models? My impression was that this is no longer possible in many cases.

That's nice, but Chromebooks are designed to become e-waste after a period of only a few years (updates stop after the device gets to be a few years old).

Would be yet another lossy transcode, though.

Do there currently exist tools for transcoding the images to something which renders faster?
317.
by prvc 4y ago
Are they not common in pdf documents, for example those distributed by The Internet Archive? I suspect this is why so many of them render so slowly, even on fast systems.

This is further from the truth than the putative "myth" that you are attacking. He did gain some recognition from colleagues in the last 6 months of his life following a review by Albert Aurier at the beginning of 1890, but before

Your mistake is assuming that their twitter account is for providing useful information to customers, rather than signaling their allegiance to state-sanctioned social and political causes.

Me too. The suggestion that logic itself could be a contingent part of the universe (best mechanism for making something like this true) just seems wrong, and is anti-scientific, in any case. Not sure how to dispose of the idea, though, h

It makes them de-facto unattainable, additionally, I should have said.

Interesting that models of only moderate attractiveness are in the highest demand due to creating a perception of "attainability". The connectivity of the internet makes them, de-facto, the most desired.

Why would incorporeal beings even have a concept of "meat"?

The only customer type served by this model compared to the others which are available are the underinformed.

Suspected something along those lines, although taking the tautological sense of the word makes the proposition of whether there are frogs who cannot "frog" (or indeed cats or whatever) dubious. The whole idea is stupid, and not i
