It seems to be that the battleground is epistemological, but not so much the argument. The difference being that Trump uses 'claims of truth' without any care of how true they are. I feel the majority of epistemological disagreeme

Currently, there is a very effective push by people who want to weaken the government enough to supplant it. They are giving themselves ideological coverage by claiming they protecting people from interference. Is that a rephrasing you coul

The solution is to encode mutability. So that you can say: Const list<cat> is a subtype of Const list<animal>. But that does get complicated because. The difference between a mutable container of immutable elements and an immuta

by rocqua 2y ago
Presumably tye issue lies with mutable collections. If you have a type Animal, with subtypes Dog and Cat, then covariance means a list of Cat is a subtype of a list of Animal. The problem is that appending a Dog is a legal action for a list

Start with the overview, let people decide quickly whether this is worth investing more time in.

Anyone know what makes these trees better able to take the hit? Do they insulate their trunks and hope to channel the strike through parasitic vines and competing trees? Or do they grow some kind of highly conductive guide to easily channel
217.
by rocqua 2y ago
It actually helps the tree by killing parasitic vines. Based on just the parasites, it could be beneficial to the tree to get hit directly compared to only nearby trees dying.

This is why I use python with Jupyter notebooks. Though admittedly animations are quite arduous.

Signal is quite militant about keeping as little information as possible, and actively resisting subpoenas. I think signal is one of the least likely companies to cooperate with the US government on surveillance. They aren't pandering

The article wasn't saying to aim for the masses. It was saying, do at least some documentation, and make it pleasant to read for your peers. That way, they can find your work, understand it, and build uppon it.

I actually enjoy when my work isn't just fun and good, but also contributing to a bigger picture. It's bot just that it gives meaning. It's also that the added design constraints are intriguing, and help me determine when I c

I thought that passkeys were domain-bound through a challenge response mechanism? That should completely prevent fishing of this simple MitM the 2nd factor. At least, that's how I've seen it be sold.

Quid pro quo. Hurt the current administration's popularity by inconveniencing US citizens. And in general, Visa free travel is a mutually beneficial deal. If the US stops giving the EU benefits, why shouldn't the EU reciprocate. P

It would need to be the other way around, dark energy being matter falling into our black hole. Hawking radiation should 'suck' energy out of our universe. I can't think of a satisfying source of this energy. The best I can i

by rocqua 2y ago
Hawking radiation can't just be stuff dissapearing, because the actual singularity can dissolve. Besides, where would the stuff even leave from? I could imagine the mass flux through our event horizon being related to the energy drivin

How does this work with matter falling into 'our' black hole and hawkins-radiation leaving our black hole? Heck, Hawkins radiation means black holes can evaporate. Does that correspond to a universa collapsing? Would matter fallin

by rocqua 2y ago
Black holes aren't really infinitely dense. The matter isn't concentrated at the centre, its spread out over the event horizon. As i understand the theory, they effectively suggest you could glue another universe onto the event ho

Dollar costs of physical things (pre tax) quite accurately measure how much effort it takes to produce/acquire that thing. Hydrogen being more expensive than X quite stronly suggests that it is much more effort to get than X.

How expensive, big, and heavy would a hydrogen tank (farm) be if it had to supply a whole winter for, say, 1million people. I ask because one of the bigger transition issues I see in Europe is load shifting from summer surplus to winter def

The way current masculine norms (as I experience them) expects me to be able to defend myself, is by projecting a capacity for retalitory violence. I have nothing against this at the level of international relations. I will fight if article

So, as a European, what would you want to see happen? Do whatever we can to appease Trump, living as a subject, all because resistance is futile? Don't overestimate the US military industrial complex. Their biggest skill is lobbying, a

Drain Russia in the war. Make them pay for every day they are invading. Make them pay in human lives, make them pay in losy industrial output. Make them pay in economic welfare. Not just on Ukrainian soil. If at all possible, take back any

The fact that it demands violence off men. As my very next sentence states. Demanding that a 'masculine man' is capable of violence is making men ... more violent. Men being too violent is a decently big societal problem. Hence, t

The US has allies in return for this spending. A block of people who stand against autocrats and with the US. It also bought a much more peaceful and free world. Not just nice because it is better for people, but also because it gives oppor

Are you arguing against spending money on armies at all, or do you want Europe to spend money on more effective weapons?
236.
by rocqua 2y ago
The point stands that Europe needs to arm itself. Europe needs to be able to defend itself without the US. Indeed there is slight toxicity to calling this 'manning up'. Especially towards men, where it signals that men should be s

What encroachment do you mean? There isn't much encroachment other than sabotage. Perhaps some financing of undermining political parties. There was significant encroachment of eastern Europe, but that has slowed down due to attention

Does the US have total control? They sure have wide influence, but influence is different from control. The power to take something diminishes when you use it.

We're not increasing defense spending to appease Trump though. We're increasing defense spending because we realize a need for strategic independence from the US. Because for the comming 4 years, it's obvious that the US won&

I sure hope any US invasion for Greenland is met with a significant NATO force, not just the Danish.
