Yea, but what does it mean?

Eh, the coordinate frame can really be anything. It's important to disambiguate what is really meant. The convention in images is that images are +X-Y, but for certain applications, the PNG may represent data that is +X+Y, or mirrored

Boycotts don’t work unless they are organized and articulate a concrete demand. I respect boycotts that have an organization behind them and a clear end goal, even if that goal may be far off. When organizers ask for a boycott that may take

If you find yourself trying to downplay this, at a symbolic level, will you accept anything? The administration is clearly trying to find the most nazified guys they can to do horrible things. They already are doing a genocide in Gaza (hint

There is a kernel of insight here that is pretty valuable. Interfaces are a form of security and is a result of a loss of trust. It's interesting to think about how far trust can be extended before it breaks down.

This is why housing should be majority owned by the state and leased to people for 99 years at low rates to prevent an uncontrolled market.

There is a silver lining though, when everyone is in the same class, better off people don't think they can escape and push to make the program better for everyone.

This is cool! How does it compare to e.g. an Aranet4? I got one to detect when there is a high risk of COVID-19 aerosols lingering and generally carry it in my bag. That way I can check the reading using my phone.

I don't get it, is XSLT used for anything important currently? I learned about it in uni, but I've basically never encountered it since.

It's antisemetic to question whether someone is Jewish based on their disdain for genocide.

The resistance and the resilience of the Palestinian people have prevented their ethnic cleansing. This is not because Israel isn't trying as hard as it can within the bounds the international community is allowing.

As a Jew, the soon as I hear "Israel" and "App" I think of Pegasus. In this genocide, the Israeli government has shown it will cross any line. Remember the pager attack? So I would like there to be zero Israeli controlle

i’m not convinced yet that autonomous vehicles will actually fix this the main argument i can see in favor of autonomous vehicles is that they don’t get tired, ill, or drunk, but would they outperform on other kinds of situations across a l

that’s true, but usually there is some kind of foundational need that is being satisfied by the candidate or policies, or in the case of middle class people, some kind of postmodern spectacle as was innovated in the 1930s

if the branch is only taken once how can you realize a significant performance benefit more than a few ns?

by tehjoker 1y ago
Yea they do when you have a firm foundation on political theory. However, parties often diverge from their name.

by tehjoker 1y ago
That's true but there's also a separate element here which is there is an obvious need for aviation and not an obvious need for autonomous vehicles.

The problem is that I don't really trust a big company to have an agent monitoring me let alone all the phoning home it does, but in an alternative universe, I can see the vision here as creating something that is closer to a starship-

We don’t need more weapons. We also don’t have real adversaries, that’s war propaganda.

remember how in america the police were literally attacking people in the summer of 2020 and some died?

by tehjoker 1y ago
Excellent point. Some of this happened in America too, though not to the same horrific extent as India. Iirc hospitals in Florida nearly ran out of oxygen and in some cases patients died for lack of oxygen.

Aerosols diffuse and often (not always depending on airstream) become less dense 6 feet away. Yes if the wind is blowing the density won't be impacted much, but on the other hand the stream will move past you on its own instead of ling

That's true, but government funded media has different incentives than private media. To be honest, at least in the past few decades where media has become so concentrated, we basically have state media anyway but it is profit driven a

I'm sure police (when they aren't fighting over jurisdictional issues) find it helpful, that doesn't mean that it's helpful for the population, especially when it (and police generally) are used as a tool for domestic in
