adespoton,

If you think modern Zionism is about religion in anything but name, or that Palestinian nationalism is about Islam in anything but name, what you believe is even more questionable than what they believe.

If all religion vanished overnight, the same people would be fighting over the same land with many of the same arguments, but something else substituted for the religion.

Tribalism knows no borders.

adespoton,

That also sounds like a great way to strip police and politicians of all soft power over time.

Do they realize that there are harder but astronomically better ways to manage a protesting public?

Founded by a team of researchers from the University of Geneva with years of experience in the field of strong security and multifactor authentication.

Dual PIN is a great idea; I’d also love an emergency PIN that invalidates the token silently (so you can enter it under duress).

What this shows is that Trump’s entire team doesn’t really understand what Libertarian is. Kennedy seemed to understand, but his politics obviously don’t align.

Then again, personally I put Libertarianism in the same camp as Communism as far as ideologies that are great in theory, but handwave the human factor away. The trick is in how to avoid authoritarianism while still being realistic about how humans behave individually and in groups.

adespoton,

Storing and transporting large volumes of hydrogen? What could possibly go wrong?

adespoton,

All this really does is show how flawed the current concept of copyright is. But at some point, a huge corpus of images owned by other people was assembled to create a derivative work (the training corpus).

adespoton,

I guess my suggestion wouldn’t be useful then… I was a GrandCentral customer in 2006. When Google bought them I became a Google Voice customer and still am. It’s been convenient to have the same US numbers for 18 years. I wouldn’t run anything private through the service though.

adespoton,

That’s some heavy spin on the situation. Surrey was the subject of a multimillion dollar campaign to get rid of the RCMP, which the previous mayor was a part of. When the citizens realized (too late) what was happening, they elected a new mayor on the platform of bringing back the RCMP, but the process was already in motion to replace them.

Surrey was for years the largest RCMP detachment in Canada, but for the past 20 years, they’ve struggled to staff it. The situation is even trickier now, because it’s many of the same people who used to work for the RCMP who now work for the Surrey Police. Re-hiring people who quit the RCMP while still offering continuity to the city is not something that’s simple to do.

I see this as being the Surrey/RCMP equivalent of Brexit.

adespoton,

I still have problems parsing the phrase “conservative, anti-establishment”.

If they’re anti-establishment, they aren’t actually conservative in anything but name. Someone has succeeded in stealing the meaning out from under them.

Maybe “regressive fundamental nationalists” would be a better title? That way actual conservatives would have to intentionally stop voting C to vote for them.

adespoton,

Wait… the US is currently indiscriminately bombing civilians who have nowhere to go, while denying them access to basic necessities?

adespoton,

Jr or Sr?

adespoton,

Thankfully I’ve already forgotten everything about her except for her name and that she’ll be voting for Trump.

So if anyone mentions her to me in the future, my only possible response will be “oh, that woman who voted for Trump?”

adespoton,

What a world we live in where he had to appeal for the right to appeal. Now that he has the right to appeal, he gets to appeal.

It makes me wonder how things would have gone if he’d just gone quietly to the US immediately following the original arrest. At this point, he’s effectively lost over a decade of his life anyway.

adespoton,

I’m imagining those sachets that you get seeds in these days… 20 of them with 3g of grass seed in each.

adespoton,

If you get a phone holder, don’t cheap out. Get one with anti-vibration or you may end up destroying your phone. And you can’t read a vibrating phone anyway.

After buying a cheap mount, I found I don’t use it; I use voice navigation instead, and my watch for speed and distance and rudimentary wayfinding.

adespoton,

Nope; just using either the speaker or a single around the ear cheap Bluetooth earpiece. Don’t want to block hearing whatever else is going on.

adespoton,

All his troubles seemed so far away,

But those song lyrics are all here to stay.

adespoton,

Nope. Bill left MS in 2008 and Windows 7 came out in 2009.

Also the joke left out Windows 10x, AKA 11.

And for some reason, it includes NT and Win2k, but leaves out all the other Server versions (2003 through 23H2).

adespoton,

Isn’t Mrs. Claus technically an elf?

adespoton,

Based on the reporting, it’s getting to the point where I expect the entire border to collapse because it’s all tunnel.

adespoton,

I spent multiple years learning a skillset which put me into an employment position. Of those jobs I had as an employee 20 years ago, almost all of them were mostly done by machine learning systems a decade later. But that was OK, because I kept on learning and moving ahead of the trend, leaving the learned,boring stuff to automation while I learned new things to give my company a competitive advantage.

I don’t think I could ever work a career where the job I was hired for was my employment until I left.

adespoton,

Why only 4K? We have 8K monitors now.

adespoton,

A train is a collection of rolling railcars propelled by one or more locomotives. These are individual self-powered railcars.

So no, there’s no train here. Just monorail pods that will get congested as density increases.

The whole concept of a train is that all the cars move together and the only congestion is at the switching yards, where it can be optimized.

adespoton,

How else are they going to win the rail pod challenge?

adespoton,

Anything faster would be a safety issue.
