I think "A Regrettable Circumstance" is genuinely better description than "Exception"

Syncretism is mixing religions (as doctrines, beliefs). Assimilating local traditions into one's religious rituals is not that.

What are dedicated neural accelerators? What exactly do they accelerate?

USA fluctuates expanding, and diminishing its power mainly because it's typical for electoral democracies to change its course with higher frequency. It's friendly to Europe most of the time, and hostile at times. It's cultur

China isn't a big bully for European nations cause it's counterbalanced by USA, not of inherent niceness. Also in two years there will be a different president in White house, but in Beijing things aren't that fluid.

This is moderately popular misconception which seems to be prevalent in English-speaking sources. Latin "mediterraneus" means simply between-lands. And "orient" is not "top" as other commenter already noticed.

I don't think it's fair, while "one of the most abundant" isn't well-nuanced wording, but the argument is that glassmaking won't exhaust glass-grade sands in historically near times, and it's true.

One argument for PET packaging bans is that there are people for whom the discipline of disposal is hard. If it's true, than re-using cotton bags for 173 times is hard - on average level, not for you personally.

On one hand, you are not wrong, sands differ in qualities, but the question is what you need to make from it. Glass-grade sands aren't everywhere, but they are abundant anyway. Some industries, like solar panels production, require hig

>We can't even reliably trust people to put the plastic bags in a bin We can, or more precisely it depends on culture norms. Places where littering is rare do exist.

It's a conspicuous part. But energy use is still a problem. Like, maybe high-kicking people throwing trash everywhere would be cheaper solution then letting them do it, but with paper instead of PET. If we won't calculate we can&#

Few month after I started using bare Chromium instead of Brave, and consequently started to see ads, they often felt like a cool joke. I even had an occasional urge to share it with colleagues, like "Look, what they are showing me, hah

I don't think so. I know, somebody recently re-popularized Sahlins theory claiming that HG essentially spent most of their lives happily dancing and singing around fires, but the popularity, I believe, is due to tapping into the lost p

"Economy" by merits of its definition is an applicable term for hunter-gathering societies. And is used widely in this quality, in fact. Nobody says they couldn't find a time to do carving (existence of the artifact shows the

1. You are welcome to cite exact wording. 2. That's literally the first normal argument you expressed in the thread. I'm so delighted! NATO is practically very much different, cause it has tried-and-proven structures, drills, and

Not being a hunter-gatherer also helps, I imagine.

They had a lot to do during winter, though, cause it was a society with subsistence economy.

I shifted nothing, and as we are on the nets, everybody can verify it above. I said you can stretch the notion of military alliance to cover the EU, but because nobody's obliged to come to your rescue in force, in practical terms it is

I literally started the discussion from the point that "the mutual assistance clause doesn't oblige member states to support each other with military force" - quoting from the comment just 2 levels above. So which goalpost is

Looks like I'm right. I don't read in German regretfully, but what I get with machine translation fully supports my point - national discretion allows for civilian or humanitarian aid rather than an automatic military response

The mutual assistance clause doesn't oblige member states to support each other with military force even in case of aggression. A member can send blankets, food rations, or even just express diplomatic solidarity. Stretching definition

This fun was not revenue-generating, I suspect, so it's already a loss. Also it's a long-tail change, which will likely create unexpected situations here and there, and de-value experience and knowledge already available. Cumulati

Same. To me exactly delayed version is annoying. Non-obvious rules which guide behavior make it feel like there's a bug.

As I see it, there's a bit of internal contradiction: your declared intent is to not write code, but you had to circle back to code (albeit more relaxed and vague) because human English is (compared to proglangs) imprecise. Pseudocode,

Fairphone with its 8-year updates, swappable battery, and decent repairability is great for those of us who doesn't like to be forced to change phones often. I'm not sure, however, what variety of distributions you mean. It suppor

Wow! So I correctly described it? It's a student's work, there's no data attached, and the whole matter is about "greed to be the most significant predictor of unethical behavior" just expressed in class war terms.

You either jumped to express your opinion without reading previous comments, or you are not being honest, cause it's not about "all billionaires good" claim

I suppose, the most naive is the one who believes we can't read comments above, and see where it started, and who's trying to pivot. Btw, I opened the very first "scientific proof" you offered, and it happens to be a sto

There's literally nothing in my previous commentary which "props up" anyone. The layoffs mention suggests that as someone who may lose job I must support anything said against billionaires whether correct or not. I sincerely
