Of all ways to get rid of dictators you choose Lybia as a good example. I rest my case.

Current events show that guns are pretty useless against dictators, people do just happily vote them in power. The right to free education would have been a better weapon.

Sure they can

It’s mathematically proven that no voting system is perfect, so you’ll have to choose what you value most in a voting system. There is no clear best system.

I think the arguments for approval voting are strong. It’s simple and easy to understand, no need for complex multiple rounds of counting. Since you can’t rank candidates it doesn’t suffer from the spoiler effect.

In your hypothetical scenario you’re forgetting the Trump voters who will vote for Sanders again after they see Biden nearly beating him. RCV has a bigger problem which is called the spoiler effect where, without strategical voting a loser can influence the election results. And am I missing something or should the numbers in your RCV list add up to 100%?

A Honda civic weights ~1100kg. The kinetic energy of a vehicle is proportional to v². Therefore, a vehicle going at 30MPH delivering the same kinetic energy as a Honda civic at 130MPH needs to weigh in at 130²/30²*1100kg or 20tons. Modern American trucks are too big and heavy but not that big and heavy I think

I did not expect to see someone making light of the horrors of the Holocaust

I’m surprised you didn’t expect to see that, you’re on the internet after all. But I did not make light of the Holocaust, you have misunderstood me.

They did try to make it humane, if alone to make it easier on the executioners. Causing pain and suffering did happen, but it wasn’t part of the plan. It was like trying to exterminate rats. You just want them dead, suffering is not necessary. In my option that makes the Holocaust more horrific, not less.

The Nazis actually did try to exterminate the Jews as humane as possible. They used gas showers so the victims didn’t know what was coming and didn’t have any any visual indications of harm on their body.

Whether it was out of some perverse sense of humanity, to make the executioners sleep better or simply to improve efficiency I’m not sure.

(To be clear, I don’t condone genocide whether you try to do it humane or not)

But would the current administration be the current administration without wealth hoarding psychopaths?

How is sticking a sticker on your car dragging other people into something?

Why the hell would you want children working overnight on school nights? FTFY

You’re going to need a team of people, fly them in and out and make sure they get back home alive or it might hurt the president’s polls. It might be cheaper but it’s much riskier. Nobody in the US cares about those 52 other people so that doesn’t really matter to them.

I’m surprised they didn’t use drones.

It is mentioned in the text, but I don’t see anything redacted in the screenshots either.

Edit: It could be in the very first message, it’s not clear if there is text between the first and second screenshot.

A CIA spokesperson asked us to withhold the name of John Ratcliffe’s chief of staff, which Ratcliffe had shared in the Signal chain, because CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not publicly identified. Ratcliffe had testified earlier yesterday that the officer is not undercover and said it was “completely appropriate” to share their name in the Signal conversation. We will continue to withhold the name of the officer. Otherwise, the messages are unredacted.

Imagine if those people looked up to us, we’d have to really question our values.

Canonical ships ZFS like Nvidia ships proprietary drivers, which seems to work (legally and technically) but it means the development of ZoL is a bit cumbersome and can never be integrated in the kernel development like other filesystems.

CDDL is not LGPL and is GPL incompatible

Yeah, I don’t understand who’s still in doubt about Russia’s true motives

Anything else than democracy is shittier

What I mean is the pivot to the east was pretty clear with Obama. With Trump? I think he sees China and Russia more as a role model than an opponent, but who knows what’s going on in his mind.

Maybe you weren’t paying attention when Obama was president? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asian_foreign_policy_of_the_Barack_Obama_administration

The US has a trade deficit because everyone wants dollars, even though the US keeps on printing them. You basically get free stuff and complain about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
