That’s for the OS and apps. Every user is going to use the SD card anyway, and 256GB or 512GB of good quality storage would be wasted on music.
Improvements for who? Certainly not for the DR.
Why don’t any governments get in that business then? They could distribute it locally but sell the vaccines and pharmaceuticals they develop to foreign countries and make a bunch of profit.

It’s not desirable, but that isn’t the question. The question is, is it possible?
Re:Why Not Mars on Monday January 02, 2023 @01:43AM (#34215079)
That is because of a treaty, not because of inability.

The benefit of doubt is for yourself, to have an accurate understanding of what you know and what you assume.

Sure they could. They could have lined up a job or impulsively lashed out, or think enforcing the policy gives them cover. It’s the sort of thing I might do.

This is just a probability you may have a different weight on.

We know that was Vijaya and Roth. Bringing up Dorsey is transparent sleight of hand.

Possibly malicious enforcement by Twitter staff in light of https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604593057676300288

“Casually sharing occasional links is fine, but no more relentless advertising of competitors for free, which is absurd in the extreme”

Obviously he followed the car from the airport — how else would he identify the car with Elon Musk’s kid?
It is very reasonable to describe coldness as a distance from some reference temperature, such as room temperature.

This was not public knowledge, it was publicly denied.

They suppressed Trump’s account before the election…
Re:Twitter Office Supply Auction on Saturday December 10, 2022 @04:40PM (#33937115)
Yes it did.
The most important benefit of the public announcement is that showing successfully completed projects like this helps the defense industry with recruitment and encourages more students to become aeronautical and mechanical engineers.
Historically, yes, they’ve scheduled outdoor activity to avoid satellite overflight, if we’re not misled by books.

Maybe it’s not a strong factor here, because it was a few days before public announcement anyway. But you’d expect them to follow the same protocol or at least pick a more convenient time than 1:30am if they were not.

Re:The Axiom of Infinity on Wednesday December 07, 2022 @12:31AM (#33890946)
I remember being a kid and having this discussion in elementary school. Kids have enough intuition to know that operations with fractions should get the same result as with decimal numbers. Or that 1-0.999… = 0.000…. Or that different lengths have a length in between them. All are legitimate and compelling arguments.
Re:The Axiom of Infinity on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @11:22PM (#33890602)
Calling “0.999… = 1” very unintuitive is a very strange thing to say, because that makes perfect sense to most children. I’d like to see a result that truly is unintuitive, like what we get with the axiom of choice.
Re:The Axiom of Infinity on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @10:03PM (#33890165)
Define lim without infinite sets. Define how you quantify over all values of n without infinite sets. The parameterization you describe would be a function mapping an infinite set of sets of natural numbers to their maximum elements, that function itself being (or containing) an infinite set of ordered pairs.

You might be able to pull it off without creating something equivalent to the axiom of infinity — I wouldn’t know if it’s possible. But the naïve implementation of your ideas involves the construction of infinite sets.

I think you can do this rigorously outside the theory, talking about it, but not inside.

From the article:

“The legislation on sex outside marriage and cohabitation is complaint-based, with only a husband or wife of a married person or the parents or children of an unmarried person able to report a matter to police. That means de facto foreign couples effectively can’t be denounced to authorities.”

If the law were to limit complainants to permanent residents and citizens, not overseas family members, it would not be a problem for tourists.

Re:The Axiom of Infinity on Tuesday December 06, 2022 @07:14PM (#33888999)
That parameterization, as you describe it, would be a an infinite set.
This specifically involves speech and its creation.

So, it does not have to do with any business, as you claim, but one which is hired to produce certain speech.

You can imagine all sorts of things, but a bar having authority over what gets performed in its premises is the first problem you came up with.
You’d only get kicked out for your conduct, like stepping up to the mic and singing some lyrics about gay stuff that grosses everybody out.

We have a long history of having gays not being a protected class, so you can see from ten years ago how realistic your concerns are.

In calling it a loose definition, you’re disputing your own premise behind your comment about two siblings being able to “pass” as different races.
Re:Applying to College, and Trying to Appear ‘Less Asian’ on Saturday December 03, 2022 @03:36PM (#33847049)
So you might identify somebody 90% European as 100%, and your point is what exactly?
Re:Applying to College, and Trying to Appear ‘Less Asian’ on Saturday December 03, 2022 @11:49AM (#33844832)
That isn’t the definition of racism at all, and it does work, you can identify race from appearance. Give it a try.
Re:Applying to College, and Trying to Appear ‘Less Asian’ on Friday December 02, 2022 @06:43PM (#33838505)
I only mean for African-American, but it would be reasonable for all visually European people to be treated as fully European.
