Research the "Treaty of Tordesillas"... by which I mean, don't just look up a one paragraph summary, spend a bit of time with it. A few papal bulls at least. Ideally in a modern formulation you should encounter the term "Requerimiento" without having directly searched for it, and how the modern iteration of the line-of-demarcation doctrine is a reaction to that in a way the 1494 version didn't have to contend with.
I'm not doing advocacy here, I'm giving pointers on how to come to a deeper understanding of what is going on.
It is also important to understand that the United States is directly attacking this doctrine by just sitting there. You are free to agree with the United States. Again, I'm just giving something to guide people to a deeper understanding of what is going on beyond the surface level playground politics of it all. There's more going on than that.
This is an interesting point about energy market balancing but it has causality backwards. Spain simply has a better energy mix than Germany, no matter how big the spread between the countries is as a function of interconnectedness.
This has little to do with equilibrium analysis, it is just the market for lemons story but for the ad space. You need to investigate the buyers and what they believe about brand quality.
I experienced the same, I had to disable my adblocker to view it, it seems the content is inside a tag `<article class="social-sharing">` but I am unsure whether this triggered my adblocker.
Not really, the lava lamp's fluid dynamics are very sensitive to initial conditions and the fluids behave chaotically, whereas the bouncy balls have highly predictable trajectories.
The author claims to be an expert in C++ but begins the article with a detour that incorrectly states that static and dynamic dispatch are necessarily orthogonal in C++. In reality you can do both within the same hierarchy using CRTP combined with a virtual base method. Compile-time inlining eliminates the overhead associated with the virtual call, so you can match Rusts flexibility with the same performance.
Businesses just rise to meet demands. Texas is the ideal place for the highly individualistic, neighbors an environmental issues be damned attitude. It's not like the cities there are designed so you can take a leisurely walk from your house to get some victuals.
Meta AI asks permission to do this, but note that in some U.S. states personal publicity rights end upon death. Isn't it hilariously Wallacian that this technology can be used to make targeted ads featuring the viewers deceased loved ones?
I guess it is a century behind because Europe hasn't scrapped their commuter rail for roads. I took a train from Manhattan today and its theoretical max speed is 110 mile/h, so the US has fallen behind Europe by your logic.
Yes but the train from Manhattan to Newark is an additional hour and is terribly slow, taking almost as long as the subway to JFK. Going by car is as slow or slower if you get caught in traffic.
I had a lot of fun writing low latency parsers for various message standards C++. There are a lot of fun things you can do when you can take ownership of the read buffer and you can figure out how to parse in-situ (modifying the data in place as you move along)
Curious about the differences between this map and the Europa Universalis IV extended timeline https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=21741... ?
I get the the latter is a videogame and is likely altered to be more fun to play, but I wonder how accurate their historical research is.
Do fighter pilots accumulate all that much exposure to G-forces in terms of duration? 2000 flight hours sounds like a lot, but aren't they flying steady most of the time?
Wouldn't professional bobsleigh pilots, alpine skiers, formula 1 drivers and downhill mountain bikers accumulate many more hours of high G-force exposure over the period of say a year?
The title distracts from the actual conclusion of the blog post, namely that it is apparently hard to build projects that include assembly on something called Alpine Linux.
Sure Buettner does focus on the older people of the community by interviewing them, but that does not generalise to the claim of the book (or the website to this day) that this community has a high life expectancy, which is shown to be false by the corrected statistics. This is known as a "population fallacy".
By focusing on the older people only in such a small population, he is introducing selection bias and survivorship bias. Moreover, he did not control or compare studies. I believe there are more than one Adventist community in the US, yet those are not Blue Zones somehow?
I don't think that is right. In the Blue Zones marketing material, they characterise Loma Linda's 9000 Adventists, who make up 40% of the population, as living a decade longer on average. That is the claim being investigated.
This claim is hard to reconcile with the CDC's official numbers which show a typical life expectancy for the entire area, unless living next to Adventists somehow lowers the life expectancy for the remaining 60% of the population, which would be far more interesting.
I'd be interested to know if Amazon has a client risk group, because I've seen a few of such large monthly bills, and I sure hope they don't settle these in arrears at such a low frequency as monthly payments.
I think we get an apparent contradiction because of how we stratify the data. According to the CDC/KFF study, firearms are still the leading cause of death for people age 1-19, and substance use is only 6th in the list for that age group. If you instead interpret "young age" as another age range, then indeed other causes of death may appear more prevalent.
How is the headline deceptive? If you can trust the source, the statistic holds for individuals aged 1-17, as is written in the first sentence:
"In 2020 and 2021, firearms contributed to the deaths of more children ages 1-17 years in the U.S. than any other type of injury or illness"
