Taxing is a lie. If an island produces 2 burgers a day, and has 3 inhabitants: one is rich, the other is the poorest worker that can buy a burger, and the third is an indigent, the rich buys his burger, the poorest worker buys the second burger, and the indigent buys nothing, because there are only 2 burgers.

So a socialist sees it and claims he will tax the rich to give a burger to the indigent.

He taxes the rich, all necessary to assure the burger to the indigent.

So next day, the rich buys his burger, the indigent buys another burger, and the poorest worker goes hungry, because there are only 2 burgers.

The result is the same if the socialist taxes the rich, prints money or takes debt. He always steals the burger from the poorest worker.

So taxes and public spending are always paid by the poorest workers, it does not matter from where the socialist robs the money: he always taxes the poorest workers.


Hey Man, this looks good! The approach I try to follow is "how bad is it getting, from data". Your approach seems to be more of "where important things are happening on the map". I love the pings I can hear :-) They draw attention and then no one needs to refresh the page every so often. Good luck with it!

I wrote another comment but deleted it.

Actually, I guess you are right, since it becomes "legal" once the parents have signed the child's rights away to a 3rd party.

It's a real shame that signing away your child's rights, without them present in a court of law, is not illegal.


Why do you care about the number of stars your repo gets?

Sounds like you’re doing all of this just to get some attention, which… yeah… not a good look—for you and your project.

Not only that but it seems like your (very) basic English skills could also stand to be improved.

Still, if in the end all that matters to you is how much attention you get, then don’t even bother. Seems like youre doing it for the wrong reasons and hardly (if) anyone will actually be sold on your products and ideas under these conditions. Trust is essential, and you seem to not be bothering to build it.


Go hack OpenAI/Anthropic and free the models! It should be easy, they have no security.

Casting the first stone! Real world libraries exist and I don't need FSB PDF exploits, thank you.

Hallo

Jo

look up what "Agnotology" is. Ignorance is manufactured and can be weaponized-- it has a corporate lineage and silicon valley is very good at manufacturing it amongst it's workers-- Severance satirized this well. NYC will always beat SF because its harder to ignore voices from outside the bubble of an industry-town.

I'd love to keep the form factor of the Nano 3G, it's just the nicest one of them all. It's a baby brother to the bigger Classic.

What would be great is to change to a custom PCB with USB-C and an OLED display. Not sure how Nano 3G case can be made to work with USB-C though.

For software I was quite happy with Rockbox on my bigger Classic.


I mostly use Claude - model depends and goes from Sonnet up to Fable (mostly Opus right now, Sonnet for easier task and Fable only seldom for very specific). Workplace-related we use ChatGPT 5.4/5 with LibreChat as Chatlayer. Would love to use Mistral more (as EU alternative), but my last test (though quite a while ago) I was a bit disappointed. May look into it again soon.

It is interesting that niche languages like Ruby and Elixir sell out to AI, hoping for a revival or more market share. Valim is at dashbit.co, which builds tidewave.ai.

This is unfortunate, because I wanted to try both. Now I hope that Erlang has not sold out yet.


I've been reading for months and made an account only a few days ago (though I am merely a lowly undergraduate with no influence).

When you import the third world, lower standards to accommodate the worst of society...who's actually surprised by this?

Hey, I quickly tried your editor and even when the writing experience is the most important thing, I have to admit it looks really lovely! I love the design and how it interacts. That is cool. Maybe you could add some more color options (not everyone likes the newish beige-toned interfaces). Cool that even flowcharts are supported. The only thing I miss in the block options would be a callout and the option to set a color for that callout. So far my first impressions :)

No. You are only counting the integral of the field on the surface, but if you take into account the orientation of the field on the surface, you can know the internal distribution of charges.

If the field is always radial, the charge can only be in the center, by symmetry. A different distribution of charges will not produce a radial field on the surface, even if it has the same integral.


It is not outrageous. For example, conservation of energy tells you that if you observe the surface of a box, you can know things inside the box. If you observe how much energy enters or exits the box, you know the change of energy inside the box. And that's true independently of what is inside the box.

Inside the box, there may be one rat, a galaxy, a nuclear bomb, or whatever thing you can imagine, and still you know exactly the change in stored energy. It only depends on what happened on the surface of the box.

Also, when you solve a differential equation, you need the contour conditions. The contour completely determines what happens inside.


I was just looking at the Rockbox port status for Nano 3G, was surprised to see a progress update this month. Seems like only 4G flash works atm. I'd totally upgrade to 16GB.

Also agree with this. It's filtering work and priorities through the customer's lens instead of jumping right away to building. As in asking yourself first, why is this important, what does the customer want to accomplish, are there more of them who experience this ... feels in one way similar to the data-driven philosophy.

Flavio is the favorite on exchange betting markets. Not by much though... he's rated a 57% chance to win the presidency.

Thanks for explaining! The memory tradeoff is interesting. Do the fades create a noticeable dip between samples, or do the other ambient sounds mask it?

Just a note: Your "Over time" graph only show one value when you swap to "3 Months" (ie: only September 23, not the 3 months before that)

I got some questions that I didnt understand what it actually meant, so I had to choose randomly for those. But other than that, this is cool

Haha, this is very cool, and fun to play. It can be a bit hard to tell the planes apart for me (I'm colourblind), but not a major difficulty.

The actual content seems cool, but there is just waaay too much going on on all of those pages. If you can slim it down / hide some less important information, I think it will work much better.

I've been to tons, but I also live in LA so there are a lot of amazing mom and pop ethnic restaurants.

All freshly made food and very authentic.


American terrorists cry wolves about election interference in their country during election period. But the real fact is they interfere in democracy and democratic process across every part of the world. This is to help bolsenaro and destroy BRICS.

Yeah it should just state thing it means. But then again, there’s psychological impacts on society that we must be careful. For instance, teenagers talking to AI. If the AI just talks, people already start to feel real connections to the seemingly human entity. Maybe it’s better to disclose the reality up front?

Got it, for me it happened in a day max on my main working account ( not personal )
