The difference between being technically right and knowing how to communicate.
There’s like a 100 different ways to reject a PR without referring to a contributor as a moron.
I think lately Linus learned how to do it correctly without going on rants.
Oh, I didn’t follow it closely but I was convinced he was convicted of sexual abuse. I guess it just speaks about the power of public opinion even if you don’t get formally convicted. For better or worse.
Its easy if you have nothing to fear because you are already convicted
So I had to look up what an “autopen” is.
The US president not only has basically dictatorial powers to create laws (call them executive orders or whatever, they’re still laws), he can delegate the actual signing to someone else by a device that imitates signatures. So basically the idea of the president can create laws.
How was that ever a functional country …
Do we have anyone here who works in US customs, or whichever agency is in charge of applying these tariffs?
How do you guys even keep track of what to charge when tariffs change daily?
It’s easy to see how someone might fall into an anti-immigrant pipeline with news like this.
Of course what’s missing is the first-hand insight in the immigrant life, which is far from comfortable.
Which makes me think what is driving those people to see specifically the UK as a promised land. Rather than any other country. Mass hysteria/cultural phenomenon? An extreme case of FOMO?
Is the original satire? I know Americans are obsessed with presentism on the job, but even they understand the concept of a vacation?
Change imposed by force never works. Iranian people need to overwhelmingly decide to do it. Providing help is fine, but bombing them into “freedom” never works. It actually has the opposite effect, when you feel in danger (because for example bombs are falling around you) you’ll less likely to start a revolution.
People from some cultures (typically those where Islam is dominant, but not exclusively) are more prone to behavior like this. Probably due to a system of values they have adopted in their environment and upbringing.
Call it Islamophobia or something else it does lend itself to the idea that some people should be regarded with more default suspicion than others, based on their origins. As long as each individual is treated as just that - individual, and not blamed for the crimes of others, a higher base level of suspicion is unfortunate but a normal human reaction that shouldn’t be treated as some kind of horrible sin.
Um, why would they attack a prison? People locked up there are presumably not friends with the Iranian government, and it’s not a likely place to keep any military supplies.
How long until he says it’s antisemitic to vote against him
For non-experts it generally falls into the “gay stuff”.
(if you can explain the difference between sex and gender you’re an expert)
Yes but he did it the wrong way South America -> Polynesia.
Turns out it actually happened the other way around Asia -> Polynesia -> South America. Most likely, still a lot to be determined.
Giving sone Last Starfighter vibes. You’re good at playing games? And you can do a short sprint if needed? Off to the military with you, you’re going to be flying drones remotely. The running is there for when Ukrainians figure out your location.
Oh, didn’t know about the meme, thanks
The comment is not out of place. In many jurisdictions, a “child” is under 14, while 14-18 is a “young adult” or “adolescent”
PhD overproduction (and subsequently devaluation) is a real thing. The intention of PhDs was to reward and recognize major original contributions to a specific field of science. It turned into another academic “level” that you have to grind towards by producing a large quantity of articles. Even before AI the academic slop was a real thing.
Sound like a standard case of misaligned incentives in a planned economy. As far as those go this is quite benign.
Central government sets targets for selling cars domestically, so of course every car is going to be sold domestically. Even those sold internationally.
It means max 220k, the big number is there to give false hope.
