IIUC, this doesn't necessarily translate to more efficient programming, just because the program size is small. It's elegant. Just wondering about possible applications. Maybe I'm not understanding how currying works.

However, in terms of a "buffer zone", strategic geography; leading to a nation that's "self-sufficient in terms of resources and territory". In my view, annexation of Crimea fits that strategic idea more than to believe that it was an ideological move to regain long-lost land.
Plus, with 40% of the world's grain export, Ukraine is a fertile target for Russia.
Generally, however, once you switch from common sense to thinking in terms of law culturally, it's a slow path toward a police state. I realize that's a loaded phrase; so, maybe read this with a grain of salt, rather than immediately attributing some ulterior motive or agenda.
Once common sense gets twisted for political gain, generally a quicker progression toward anarchy or police state.
This is a society espousing individual freedom, yet hysterical over crime. Punishing a child's actions the same as an adult's shows the micromanaging of those freedoms; especially when police are called to schools for fights or even "misdemeanor" acts. Jails are used to house and treat more people with mental health issues than hospitals.
As we're conditioned to give up our free will and even certain personal freedoms over time and daily (i.e. more personal debt, more things to own, more time spent working, more money spent on things/services to alleviate the stress... cycle), we usually end up either overreacting to "hot-button issues" or lash out at things that have no direct impact on our daily life and on the welfare and prosperity of our families or communities (e.g. abortion, gay marriage). That's not to say that those are not important issues. But they should not take precedence over the level of crime in your neighborhood; your paycheck; your healthcare; education, among other things.
It seems that, especially more recently, no one can/will think for themselves. Even as they proclaim to be "anti-establishment" or some other buzzword, it just becomes more clear there's no original thought in sight. Everyone wants to offer their commentary, yet it usually ends up being nothing but talking points and buzzwords; a self-inflating pedestal of hollow ideas and shallow principles.
That claim that the xps13 is also being throttled, for example.

These posts are showing up too quick for people to even consider the situation at hand. Instead, just eager to air their own grievance and jump on the bandwagon. Not to say that I don't have my own negative experiences with them in the past. Nevertheless, it's a fascinating development to see in real-time (more or less).
I'm not seeing any posts in any of the community threads. Not sure what the reason is, although we could always speculate with more or less reasonable certainty. Might as well just sit back and wait :shrug: rather than jumping to conclusion right away.
Maybe I'm just too cynical when it comes to trusting mob mentality.
At least one of those is mentioned there. But a lot of it depends on the implementation by the OEM, ultimately.
I was about to link to a discussion about that, but that seems to be gone as well.

That kind of goes towards the answer of why it was useful, but also begs the question of why there haven't been more scientists there.
"It sounds a bit sadistic," he says. "But it's a really good exercise to do.""
Anyone else finding beauty in this?
The meticulous and tedious, often thankless nature of scientists and their work. Also a nice strategy to implement for some other projects/fields.
Sense of gratification from reinforcing our understanding of an issue, our world
Sense of accomplishment for being upvoted or proclaimed to be smart or even popular
Appeasing a yearning to be noticed
Short-sighted distractions to alleviate other pressures and hardships in daily life
Making little etchings on cyber cave walls to mark that we were here
Some other unknown reason that we may understand at a later time in history

Thanks for the question, btw. It made me think more than I had anticipated
Obviously, legitimate use-cases exist for such services, provided that they are operated faithfully by people/entities with some level of credibility.
Whether or not Spam is legal, many (or most) service providers list it as prohibited in their SLA (Service-Level Agreement). Depending on the type of setup they run--the clientele; company focus/prioritization of ROI--they forward complaints to the account owners, with the understanding that the activity must be stopped. Again, this depends on the service provider, especially as you start thinking on a more granular level. E.g. they can have automated systems handling much of this, or they may have employees handle the communications and provide help to their clients in thwarting such activity. Generally, though, the account owners need to balance the security with compatibility--or the uptime and short-term performance of their services.
Ultimately, however, some of these spam block-lists--UCEPROTECTL3 in particular--are blatantly using a sledge-hammer approach for little benefit to any of their users, in the hopes of spurring controversy; or fear that leads to customers; or outrage from customers toward the service providers. In the end, the intention is purely to get paid, either by clients who sign up for their service or by the internet service providers that can't wait multiple days or weeks until their network gets de-listed. Their accusatory and aggressive language conveys to people that they must be associated with either some amateur company or one that uses, and knowingly profits from, nefarious practices and shady characters if they somehow ended up on their list.
Depending on where you stand, it can be seen as deplorable or underhanded behavior maybe even rising to the level extortion, or it can be considered a shrewd business tactic.

Thanks for clearing it up, btw. :)
Go back to the beginning of Israel, check the terrorist activities of jewish groups. Ongoing settlements, landgrab, indiscriminate retaliatory measures--military or otherwise systemic in nature. Yet time and time again, no measure of accountability for a regional superpower.
