Transnistria claimed independence a while ago. Only Russia acknowledges their claim but de facto Moldova has lost the monopoly on violence in that small region. Transnistria is basically following the same pattern as North Georgia or East U

Perhaps this is related. I learned that in fact you do not need for "God made the integers". The definition of every object in mathematics can be bootstrapped from the empty set. 0 is the set containing the empty set. 1 is the set

I think the spirit of flash split. The innovative / experimental side went on to the Indy section of steam and Xbox live. The vehicles to hijack 30 seconds of your attention went in the direction of mobile.

Every button doubles as a letter after you press the alpha key. The letters are sequential with A at the top and z at the bottom. There's a key (I forget which) that brings up a menu with all the commands organized by category. You nev

I distinctly recall the "Beowolf" story in my English class consisting of "there was a monster so then our baddest dude went out and killed it to death with a sword". Turns out having a good story isn't all that rel

I have a pretty high tolerance for personality traits that most people find insufferable. That said I can't get through any of Wolfram's work. The novel information I want to read is hidden like raisins in a bread made of gloating

In practice this will mean "YouTube is taking down obvious contrarian theory vids which convince followers to burn 5g towers and the like". No one is actually interested in censoring your nuanced criticisms of the WHO. Your form o

For the sake of example, how was Soviet Science high school different from Stuyvesant/Brooklyn Tech/Bronx school of Science? (Just to name the ones I know of).

I think the reasoning is that the incentives are flipped. Capitalist school gets more money the more you stick around. Communist school spends more money the more you stick around. One has a perverse incentive to get as many people to pass

There are plenty of programs exactly like that in the US.

Once you cancel out commuting costs, assume rent/mortgage debts have been erased for the relevant time period, and focus only on food, that $1200 could buy you 8 weeks. It works out to a bit over $20 a day. It wouldnt be comfortable li

>Quarantining is a fancy word for arrest, with zero cause. There is probable cause. You probably have the virus. Spreading it around is negligent manslaughter. This court sentences you to two weeks in a hotel.

I'm fairly certain that Constitutional speaking "interstate commerce" can only be regulated by the federal government. The free movement of people may not be commerce per se, but it is inextricably linked. In realpolitik term

I love old timey articles like this. I remember reading something from Charles Babbage about how the means through which coal is cycled back out of the atmosphere are as yet unknown. Oh if only he knew.

Better idea. They want a bailout? Sure. Turn all your ships to hospital ships for the next year. You won't miss them anyway. One of these ships is basically a 10 floor high city block that can sustain itself off grid for over two weeks

My school had a deal where when you signed up for an AP class you had to take the AP test. But if you pass the AP test (3 or higher) the school would reimburse you. I took 5 tests and never paid for one. Including the one where we didn&#x27

Maybe this is will be seen as radical but I think the best way to end all this gaming is for collegeboard to not release their previous tests to the public. There simply shouldn't be enough data out there to study the test rather than

I'm skeptical for many reasons. First, where is he getting that car commuters outnumber rail commuters (just barely) in New York? Last I heard the split was 60/40 in favor of rail. Second, where did he get that it is unusual for m
