Citizens don't need a license to read and/or watch stuff in their own private homes, that's a basic right guaranteed by the First Amendment (in the US; similar laws apply in the rest of the civilized world). Whatever you want

I'm a bit surprised that the weightier generations of fermions are categorized as fundamentally different fields. Is this a crutch/temporary classification that we expect to be resolved with further research, or are there real ind

This sounds like automatic gain correction, which is an appropriate solution to this problem. The only thing that IG could be doing better is to calculate the gain on the upcoming 1s instead of the previous. And actually, I would say that t

The point is that "Roman" is no more an ethnicity than "American" is (as referring to "citizen of the USA" here, not Native American). Roman was a cultural identity, not a genetic one.

It's an open question whether the Veneti themselves were ethnically Slavic though. We know of the earlier Gallic Veneti, which were a Celtic seafaring tribe that settled multiple locations along the European coastline. The Italian regi

And according to Vergilius (aka Virgil), the foundational Romans were immigrants from Asia Minor. In this allegory, the "native Italians" are the Etruscans and Sabines (among others), and the Aeneid was the Roman version of manife

Ah, that is useful to know. Is that documented somewhere? From what I can quickly find in the obvious place [0], the only requirement is that "all fields in a packed union must have the same @bitSizeOf" and [2]u8 does satisfy that

But doesn't that show why this is a bad idea? If I understand correctly, this code: const MyUnion = packed union { full: u16, bytes: [2]u8, }; const value: u16 = 0x55aa; const in_union: MyUnion = @bitCast(value); co

Ah, but that's not your tax money you see; your tax money is being spent on other things you don't like such as teacher salaries. It's other people's tax money that's being used to maintain unions.

But that's exactly what a union is: a lobbying group that strives for a better outcome on behalf of its members. "Independence" is not part of their job description. Why wouldn't they talk to politicians, or even publicl

Can you make an actual argument rather than spouting insinuations? It's rather tiresome to have to construct my own straw man from your drivel.

The amount of "foreign" money in US politics is absolutely dwarfed by the amount of "local business" money. The US government is being dismantled by its corporations, many of which are home grown.
