What happened to their defensive prayers?
There are USB-C headphones.
The problem with these token activism is that it’s hollow in content. The intent might be good, but the action is almost pure virtue signalling.
Slavoj Zizek pointed out in multiple interviews that there’s a pervert self-reflectiveness in the self-censorship: privileged people “enjoy” being guilty of their privilege, so it’s more about themselves rather than the people they claim to represent. “Sorry, but you were naive and unaware of people being racist when they use these words, so let me stop them and now you are protected (by me) in an inclusive atmosphere.”
A related radical freedom situation as an inverse to the above is that when friends get really close, even using racist slurs is treated as a gesture of intimacy, rather than racism. In an ideal world, the context in the public discourse would be so strong that even racist words lose their racist meaning (“oh, so you are joking as well”) rather than the opposite (assuming there’s ubiquitous “hidden” racism in the use of a word, even when there’s clearly none).
Another critique is that it presents itself as a substitute of real solutions. Instead of addressing real problems, it provides a simple “everyday” solution, very much similar to the recycling movement. Of course we need to recycle, but we should be aware that it’s not a substitute of radical real actions (e.g. stopping the big oil).
I took the middle road: use cable zip ties to bundle them and put all in a bag. Since finding a cable is infrequent, you don’t need to optimize for that case.
Such a shame on the activists to spread disinformation. It was Lizzy who crushed the economy, #NOT THE LETTUCE!
Reminds me of the robo chicken skit on the Libertarian Party.
They are already invented: 😱 and 😱😱😱
Conceptually yes, but you can achieve better efficiency by putting multiple adders together with e.g. a Wallace tree.
There are more efficient ways to expand adders than simply chaining them as well.
Well, that already happened for Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Philip K. Dick’s early novella The Gun describes this, but instead of chat bots, they were auto nuclear weapons.
They are also band names.
Sean k strikes it again.
Non-native English speaker, but I looked it up the other day and it seems that pedantically an A/C only cools things down and heat pumps can both heat and cool.
Yes for OCaml. Haskell’s inequality is defined as /=
(for ≠). <>
is usually the Monoid mappend
operator (i.e. generalized binary concatenation).
You would expect that from the author of The Dispossessed. She’s an anarchist (Paul Goodman leaning) through and through. She also wrote the preface to Murray Bookchin’s The Next Revolution.
