Nobody is perfect. We are all trying to make sense of a confusing and complicated existence. What matters is that we continue to try, continue to be a little bit better today than we were before. And even that isn’t a straight line. Some days, some months, we’ll miss that mark. But if we keep trying, and the trend over time is upwards, I think that’s all anyone can really do.

I’m glad my words have helped you. Thank you for telling me. I have my own struggles right now and this is a good reminder that I’m still able to add value to the world 💜

You’ll have to negotiate with two cats who already have a claim to that real estate

And you didn’t read the article. He wasn’t setting up a booth. He was a featured speaker.

Official US room? You don’t even understand the story. “The US House, Davos” is a location, a venue, where the Fortune Global Leadership Dinner is being held.

I’m not sure how you can look at someone being blocked from speaking to an international audience of world and business leaders - not because nobody is interested, but for political reasons - and not see that as an international issue, regardless of who the involved parties are.

An international organization: We want this person to speak

The international audience: We have come here, expecting that this person will be speaking in this place and at this time

The International press: We cover this international event every year, where this person will be speaking

A US Politician: We have pressured management so that this person cannot speak here because we don’t like what they have to say

You: This is an internal US issue

Like… what?

I get that you may not give a shit about what Gavin Newsom has to say but clearly that international audience, the organizers, and others did. And they were denied that opportunity. That’s international news whether you care about it or not

Silencing dissenting voices at an international venue from a notable and experienced politician is an international issue. International access to American political voices, especially those on disagreement with the current leadership, is an important thing for world, and international business leaders to hear, which is exactly what the Fortune Magazine dinner event he was denied entry to is about.

Look at this another way…rather than “American governor wasn’t allowed to speak to international audience”, it is equally “international audience not allowed to hear from American governor”

Working stiff has enough saved up to lose his job and go back to college while still paying the bills. Truly an ancient premise.

Logically terminating resources does not imply a terminating logic loop. Clever wordplay, though.

Recursion has a specific definition. It means solving a problem by breaking a process down into smaller and smaller self-similar pieces until reaching the “base case”. In programming, it (almost) always means a function that calls itself as part of its internal logic. Depending on what the function does and the conditions for returning a value from the function, it may do that one time, many times, or not at all. A classic example is the Boggle solver.

I did say I was being pedantic :P

Not to be pedantic, and I do appreciate the humor, but that’s not recursion either :3 Recursion doesn’t need to be endless. Recursive functions can absolutely have logical termination.

This is pretty transparently not a recruitment tactic, but an attempt to get these students to identify their parents as undocumented.

“Yes sir, I’m interested in your offer. Why? Well because my parents are undocumented. Wait, why is ICE here now?”

I’m only calling the cops if you don’t come inside when I open the window 😼

Previous work on task initiation has implicated a neural circuit connecting two parts of the brain known as the ventral striatum and ventral pallidum

yes they did. Ctrl-F helps

EDIT: shame that 11 people upvoted this without verifying the accusation when it’s so easy and even shows in the OP summary

there are people out there who would pay good money for that ability

thanks for gassing me up :3

feel free to peruse my grotesquely bloated “Current obsession - Japan” playlist: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1qp2kWRqMd77nsVXr2jG5um4DpMWNn5Y

Also Cody Fry (and the guitarist on that track, Cory Wong) is all around fantastic and worth a dive

Favorite is an impossible question. There is so much good music that is incomparable.

So instead here’s a track I’ve been vibing to for a while now:

JET - Polkadot Stingray

And if you prefer, here’s a track I’ve specifically been vibing to *lately*:

Homie, Au-197 is what’s being created, as stated in the screenshot, and it is the stable isotope of gold. It’s the naturally occurring one.

And the reaction doesn’t need to be especially stable on its own when it is a bonus byproduct of existing fusion reactor processes. The point is that we can take existing and new reactors, add this process, and immediately gain significantly extra value from the stuff we’re already doing.

it’s like hybrid electric cars that charge their batteries using the brakes. You’re already braking and losing a ton of energy as waste. ANY way to recapture and use that waste energy that yields more value than the materials required to capture it, is an immediate win.

The jewelry and investment industries make up 45-50% of gold consumption. Practical and industrial uses make up only 5-10%.

As such, while flooding the market with cheap gold would rapidly lower value, that’s unlikely to be how the gold is sold. If the amount of gold being generated from fusion reactors is orders of magnitude less than the global consumption rate from jewelry and investment, which seems likely, and they are selling at our near market value rather than trying to undercut everyone, then the value of the generated gold would remain relatively stable.

in other words, considering that the gold market generates something like $350bn USD per year, and the total market value of “above ground” gold around $25tn USD, even if fusion reactors generate $1bn USD worth of gold it would have a negligible impact on the price of gold while providing significant value to the reactor operators (incentivizing the growth of the fusion reactor industry)

My point is simply that you’re being fingerprinted and re-banned, rather than these accounts triggering some independent “no 2fa comments” rule and getting individually banned. Whatever the trigger is, the system is recognizing you as an already banned user and re-banning you as soon as you cross their radar
