They count it as Linux, yes!

I wanted to delete all the subfolders in the current directory:

 rm -rf ./*

After a few seconds, I realize in horror that I had mistyped the path. Whole system nuked. Had backups though.

“Escanciar” in Spanish means pouring from a height for the purpose of mixing a beverage (usually cider) with air. I suppose it would still be valid if you’re pouring a mix from some height.

Disabling the USB port is neat, BUT… What if it got instead reconfigured to pretend to be a USB keyboard when connected and then… you know… For research purposes, of course.

“Socialism turns out to work pretty well and is beating our ass” --> “Now, no one — certainly not me — is discounting the power of markets,” Sullivan noted at the time. “But in the name of oversimplified market efficiency, a large non-market economy had been integrated into the international economic order in a way that posed considerable challenges.”

Yes, you are right, but during most of that time, interest rates neared zero. I like to plot the sum of YoY inflation and interest rates since it is more stable and gives a feeling of how much headroom there actually is.

Curious how long they’ll be able to go on with the narrative that inflation will go down and interest rates will be reduced soon…

Very cool context, thx!

If you can’t find a tool, this has worked to some degree for me. Open on e.g. GIMP, scale the images to the desired size in different layers, use perspective transform to align them very precisely, then set layer opacity so that you can merge them down with equal weight on each photo. It’s not a really good method, but might do the job. Good luck!

Lately I use it for hobby projects, but also for academic stuff (e.g., interacting with experimental devices, sensors). Rust allows me to write fast code quickly while not spending a long time with valgrind.

No side wants to give you affordable healthcare and housing. If they say they want to do it, but then do absolutely nothing in that general direction, they don’t want to do it.

I wonder what the writings were, although I’m cautious on believing that they were antisemitic, since hating Jews and hating Israel have historically been opposing positions expressed by two widely different demographics, and now that division is clearer than ever.

Printing money is just one way that inflation can appear. The latest trends in that respect are in fact not caused by money-printing.

Feels weird to see the Caduceus associated hith Hippocrates; here in Europe I’ve only seen it used as a symbol of trade, while the Rod of Asclepius is the more common symbol for medicine.

I think you could first install Anki, which is open source, and get a card collection for Spanish. Take special care with verbs, you might want to find a table of regular verb endings first, so you can look them up.

Ask anything you want. I can help you on Spanish specifically.

Well, to be fair there are indeed enough houses… We kinda just assumed they would, by the grace of the market, end up distributed among virtually all people and at a fair price. The reason they never did and increasingly don’t is one of the largest unsolved problems in economics /s

It’s a really cool puzzle, nice job! The solution being a huge prisoner’s dilemma makes it all the more interesting and deep. I guess an iterated version resulting in collaboration would be difficult in this particular case, though ;)

There’s a 1/6 chance that scenario B happens, but that scenario involves 10 people, and the only thing you know is that you are one person strapped to the rail, so the chance that you are strapped to the main rail is P(main) = P(B|abducted) = P(abducted|B) * P(B) / P(abducted) = 10 * P(abducted|A) * 1/6 / P(abducted).

We can do the same for P(side) = P(A|abducted) = P(abducted|A) * P(A) / P(abducted) = P(abducted|A) * 5/6 / P(abducted). Then, P(main) / P(side) = 10 * 1/6 / 5/6 = 2. Since P(main) + P(side) = 1, then P(main) = 2/3 and P(side) = 1/3.

Edit: typo

Thank you! <3 My guess is that no to the first, since I have a 1/3 chance of being in the forked path, vs 1/15 of being in the straight path and my lever being connected. However, in the second situation I would flip it, since I’d only kill 1/3 of all people (myself every time), versus 2/3 (myself included) if I don’t flip it.
