It's not irrational. I know what the average person knows about risk analysis.

My kids are amazing at risk analysis. They know exactly all the probablities, better than you with 90% probability.

I never understood this "you don't have to be afraid" attitude. Children DO get kidnapped. Like, in really life. It's not just on TV. You can argue "but the probably is so small". Yeah sure, but I want to make sure it doesn't happen to MY children.

Those would be removed as well. So everything is consistent.

Instead of saying "it happened", it would be a lot more persuasive if you'd spell it example. What cities did the USA raze in Iraq? Be specific, give me names so I can look it up.

You also forgot about C++, which is supported by the entire world.

> It’s a funny coincidence that the field where we’re seeing the most innovation happens to be the one we regulated least, and that the fields that got worse are the most regulated ones.

Well. This is insinuating that more regulation reduced innovation. But it's confusing correlation with causation. The things that are the most regulated are also the ones with failure is more costly. So maybe _that_ is the reason why innovation is worse there.

Dictatorship of the articulate indeed.

No need to be sarcastic, both can be true. It's reasonable that you want to know where your children are, AND this desensitizes them to surveillance.

Clickbait. To qualify as micronation you don't have to be a nation, making the headline look more interesting than it is. It just has to have someone claim it's nation.

My toilet is now a nation in the US.

> Joe is a warm and humble guy

Someone get that clip when he's talking about monkeys and a woman with a PhD in monkeys calls in.

I'm British and like Boris Johnson.

Also, there was no effort to dezombify the Russian population.

I read recently that only in the 60s the German public opinion started moving towards "Nazis are bad", and that was because of an external effort to reeducate them (I had just assumed that after they lost the war, the population would automatically see the Nazis were bad).

No such effort happened with the Russians, so they're still trying to conquer Europe, as they have been since tsarist era.

Responding that there's something out there called ulab doesn't really answer my question, which was: where does op's requirement to not use scipy come from.

So wait. What's wrong with ublock origin?

A useful innovation would be that you learn how to read.

Two questions:

Why the requirement that you can't use scipy?

Have you heard of the package stats model?

Innovation is only overrated in the world of software engineering. In everything else innovation is everything.

I agree with you it's an exaggeration. I just thought I'd mention it because if your first response it didn't sound like you argument was it's an exaggeration, but that you have understood the point of the pdf. But fine I get it now.

The argument is that the fed doesn't matter if the USA can't defend its supply chains. It's not like the author forgot to take the fed into account. The argument is they only matter under specific circumstances.

Weird to see these kind of problems in a database that used to be considered the best.

This is my own war.

> How do large numbers of people suddenly come to adopt the same view on an issue that, until recently, no one cared about.

Still true in the current regime. I remember that about 2 days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, all my Russian acquaintances, who didn't know each other, respond with "what about Yugoslavia?!"[1] to my inquiries. Yugoslavia? Most of these people are too young to remember Yugoslavia, but I guess that's what Russian media told them to think.

Btw this phenomenon is not exclusive of Russia either. The USA also has a lot of it, unfortunately.

[1] NATO bombed Belgrade when Serbia threatened with ethnic cleaning in Kosovo. The rationale being that if NATO bombed someone then it's ok for Russia to invade and bomb Ukraine, I guess...?

Kaliningrad belongs to Russia, and donbas belongs to Ukraine. But that's war. You hit, you get hit.

"Let's not expand war" is what the aggressor wants, because then the aggressor knows he can escalate as much as he wants, since his opponents won't escalate further. The aggressor gets to control the pace.

Yes, escalating war is exactly the right thing to do in this situation. While keeping the door open for Russia to deescalate at any moment it chooses, by leaving Ukraine.

> Sure, you eat thousands of things. But surely you're consuming less prescribed medicine.

Maybe you eat thousands of things and some interact with each other. You don't know, you're just hoping it will be fine, because learning everything about everything is not feasible, which was my point.

My secondary point is that everyone on this thread is blaming the victim for not doing enough research, while at the same time everyone on this thread is only marginally better - maybe you do enough research in this specific topic, but surely not for everything in life.

You're assuming that only medications interact with food. Maybe you eat thousands of things and some interact with each other. You don't know, you're just hoping it will be fine, because leaving everything about everything is not feasible, which was my point.

I have to say I'm flabbergasted at how slow the EU has been.

The first thing the EU should've done, after banning all Russians and bombing the Nordstream, was invade Kaliningrad.

> We can't put billboards up for everything. It is your health, and therefore your responsibility, to read the provided literature and raise any questions to your doctor

I eat thousands of different things every week and I don't ask questions about any of them weekly. Do you? And would you think it's realistic to question everything all the time?

> Jack Dorsey says his biggest regret is Twitter became a company

I think everyone can tell that he's not into it from the fact that the company hasn't innovated in a decade.

> Let me educate you a little bit, the US lied to the world, they promised they'd never expend NATO in Europe, they want Ukraine to join NATO and become the N'th american military base, Russia went ahead and made sure it wouldn't happen since Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe [1], went silence radio

You're just repeating Russian talking points. None of what you said is actually true. Russia was part of the signatories (basically they were asked if they were ok, and they OK'd it) for the formation of NATO, and that agreement didn't have any clauses on expansion. This is a fact in writing that anyone can verify. Did you know this?

As a separate matter, Putin claims Russia was promised NATO would not expand. There's two problems with this story. First is, does anyone believe that a smart guy like Putin would just take a verbal promise and not get it in writing? I wouldn't take verbal promises if I was just buying a car, let alone deciding on the future of my country. Second problem is that Gorbachev who was actually physically present, said that no such promise was ever made to Russia.

So stop spreading lies.

> Money artificially generates scarcity in post-scarcity.

This is a meaningless statement, not even wrong.
