And then there's Picasso's another lesser known anti-war painting, Massacre in Korea , which is reportedly created as protest against America's role in the Korean War. https://www.pablopicasso.org/massacre-in

The problem with that would be that every software must know the intricate rules about combining glyphs, and if they guess wrong, users get garbage characters. Considering that the majority of code is written by people who don't know C

The idea was exceptional (and revolutionary) in 1776, but it's 2022 now. Practically every country has a constitution stating that its power derives from the people, and a number of countries do make good on that promise. If anythin

We can say the same thing about maintainers of PyPI. They host your libraries and serve it to anyone who wants, free of charge. The only thing they ask in return is to maintain a minimum level of security so that they have less headache i

Fukushima also coincided with the largest earthquake Japan has ever seen (which caused Fukushima incident itself and complicated evacuation efforts). The expected death toll ranges between several hundred and several thousands. By comparis

> Incredibly, climate denial still festers. “There’s no cliff,” they insist. “This bus is on a smooth road that goes all the way to the promised land. Only a fool would swerve now.” I think I get the main theme, but I don't think &q

330M is large, but not so large that national news stops making sense. Japan is roughly comparable - it has 126M people, and it was composed of competing (and sometimes warring) feudal lords until the Meiji Restoration (1868), a few years

They may be efficient given the layout of the airport (which can't be changed), but if you are to design a new airport, you cannot beat the efficiency of jetways. Hundreds of people just walking down the hallway.

Yeah exactly. Can't fathom using it as an argument. The terrible consequences of Australians not having firearms: drastically lower COVID deaths per capita. Also, no mass shootings this century.

It's not that simple. Kids learn language from their peers just as much as (maybe more than) from their parents. I'm living in the US: I always speak Korean to my teen kids and they mostly answer in Korean, so they have no proble

That's an odd take. Wouldn't you want American companies to care more about people of America than people of other countries?

From what I heard, the original press conference was a doozy: Reporter: Wasn't the password something insecure like a four-digit number? Officer: No, it's a 13-letter alphanumeric password. Reporter: But if it was totally random w

Meh, I'm OK with it. And to be frank a "kwon artist" is several levels nicer than what thousands of Korean "crypto investors" would be calling him right now.

Yeah, in the same way lower minimum wages are meant to keep mom-and-pop store owners from going bankrupt.

There are plenty of boneheaded policies in CA, but I'm not sure what's so "progressive" about cutting tax just because you've owned the house for longer.

Counterpoint: Many American parents spend a large portion of their time simply shuttling their kids between home, school, and other activities, because none are within walking distance and buses are all but absent in most places. I'm n

As far as I understand, Talmud was sold as a distillation of "Jewish wisdom" that raises smart kids, and Koreans are really crazy about raising smart kids, and somehow the marketing stuck. There may be other aspects to it but I

I don't know Rust, but the documentation seems to say std::rc is single-thread reference counted pointers? C++'s shared_ptr is multithreaded, so it naturally incurs much higher overhead. (In fact I think most C++ documents would

I could believe that carbon footprint was intended as a stalling tactic, but if that was the original intention, then it kind of backfired, because fossil fuel consumption must go down when citizens demand lower carbon footprint for the soc

How "quickly"? Musk called a cave rescuer "pedo guy" back in 2018. If anything, it's been amazing how long people would praise a verified asshole as long as he's rich and successful.

If they were integer variables, I guess the compiler would have done that, but you can't really do that with floats because i+A+A is not necessarily i+2*A. (Of course, in this particular example, the difference doesn't matter for

That's one way of looking at it but I'm not too sure about that. After all, the reason South Korea now enjoys a (mostly) functional democracy is that its people were not okay with the ruling class, and fought against the power

I'd go out on a limb and suggest that way less than 98% of Americans support the government do nothing w.r.t. gun rights, even among those who actually own guns.

I think the problem is, if you put a sign saying "Feel free to break in, I dare you, if you manage to get in the house then you're free to take anything you want!" then you can't later complain when someone does exactly

Honestly "average speed" tickets are a great idea, and I'm not sure why you speak as if it's bad. These "bunches of stuff" aren't watching you "all the time," they're watching you when you
