In early islamic texts you will find making slavery easier again (the Eastern Roman Empire was phasing it out and tightening the rules significantly, because Christianity) was a goal of the early muslims, and you will find exactly why it wa

I like weird units no one wants to talk about. For example, I make .0016 Levandowski's.

This sounds very much like a problem of the context, that should be solvable by having a file with instructions on how to do generic utilities somewhere in the code (e.g. AGENTS.md)

This has been the norm in the Netherlands for about 20 years now. Since then the number of license plate readers has expanded enormously. This is so old that the laws about it have been updated several times already. https://digi

This is a good source, with 2 remarks: 1) this site is obviously not meant to discredit or even critique islam, merely to spread information in a readable form (which is technically forbidden in islam, the rules say it must be arabic only,

Let's see. Iran's exports down 90% (you want to laugh? Ukraine claims half of what remains is Iran selling oil to Russia to export to Europe, especially to Spain) Inflation somewhere between 60% and 140% (the higher number is for

This is not a problem. After all, it is economic orthodoxy that governments need to collect a buffer and get themselves debt free during periods where interest rates are low and the economy is doing well. Except of course, they're all

You mean that these mafia style insurances are a joke, but free (as in safe and not taxed) access to the seas is something many wars have been fought over. "Insurance" selling by navies was the norm until WW1 at least.

It's much worse. He raped her her before they were married (fingered her in bath) "but allah said it's ok" according to the prophet. He did not marry her (there was no ceremony because she was so young, the prophet simp

No, it sounds like saying "if poverty has decreased, I would expect the number of 40m yachts to double". I would expect Photoshop to get 5 new competitors. I get that my grandma would still not be able to do it. That, too, we&#x27

I actually went a bit through the book again and this is discussed, at length, in the book. The state security services explain (as if they would ever explain that in reality) that going after innocent people is a feature, not a bug. They&#

No it's not. The point is that if building software is indeed way cheaper now, then someone should be able to guide AI to build Photoshop, Linux, or Excel while providing direction, but having the billions of tokens of human intelligen

Creating an ever-larger union makes goods cheap(er) by moving jobs out of expensive markets. Surprised?

Oh, are we allowed to call beliefs bad and lump everyone with that belief under the same umbrella now? Say, in a totally random question: what does islam say muslims should do to the world? And should we, yes or no, hold anyone holding that

I always thought in the 1984 story people get into trouble despite themselves. The main character is not trying to overthrow the state at all. He wants the girl, and writes down his thoughts, making it easy to accuse him. Nothing about what

Okay, you're making me say it. The muslim brotherhood recruited Yugoslav muslims to form SS extermination squads to help with the holocaust. Oh and in case that's not convincing enough: there's transcripts of their discussion

And that's supposed to explain it? They knew about the holocaust and chose to support it. Was there a reason for that? Yes, of course. That's not the point. The point is they supported it, knowing full well what they were suppor

In the HPC space, it has always been a "winner takes all" market. 90% or more of the business goes to the biggest provider with few exceptions (in terms of dollars, obviously all compute gets used). And, yeah, quite a bit of that

It goes quite a bit further: the Muslim Brotherhood are fascists (as in actual fascists) and (religous) racists, of the supremacist kind. They are in control of the most famous university in islamic countries: Al-Azhar. Long ago they were a

The point is that, like everyone else at the helm of the European commission, she and her family going back a LONG way, are part of the very, very rich. She has a coat of arms, for example. And she's not even the only one in the Europe
