I feel like this would be easier to draw conclusions from if I had absolute counts rather than percentages. Was the change in the Linux share due to other platforms (Windows) increasing their numbers, or did the total number of Linux users dip and then return? The latter seems difficult to explain.

I don’t get it. How is this an alternative to NVidia, it just sounds like a way to connect more machines reliably (but those machines still have NVidia hardware)?

I own a house, and I make payments to a mortgage company every month, and I’m pretty sure it would be illegal for that mortgage company to put a fucking Spider-Man billboard in my yard, facing my front windows.

So… you don’t own a house, the bank owns it. Don’t give them ideas.

As a Swede I find this utterly embarrassing, and more than mildly infuriating. These are just criminals who use football as an excuse to hate on society.

Looks like something from the SCP wiki

So what are the prime factors of 1?

But by that reasoning, 7 is not prime because you can do 7, 1*7, 1*1*7 etc.

the uniqueness constraint is why 1 is not prime.

There’s more than one way to multiply numbers to get 1?

The competition is Chinese and doesn’t give a fuck about US regulations.

They’ll give a crap when it affects them personally.

That’s not greedy — it’s smart.

Elaborate.

Some (e.g. Yuval Noah Harari) would argue you don’t need deities to make it a religion, it’s just a belief without proof that enables a shared value system. An agreement on norms, explicit or implicit. In that interpretation, “human rights” and money are also religions. Harari argues that religion is what enabled us to win against other subspecies of humans, as we could form larger social groups (hundreds rather than tens of people).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more attractive woman in my life, than Morena Baccarin in Firefly

The people I know who bought one don’t give a shit about ethics. They stayed away from them for as long as they were socially unacceptable, but as soon as the storm blew over they saw their chance to buy one.

Just… a data point. My experience is that at least 20% of a population doesn’t care about stuff like this. They care about their own social status, but not ethics.

You guys are getting ready for the civil war in 2028 right?

And which culture is that?

Every function the body has ultimately exists to maximize the chance of reproduction

Different situations. She can’t force other people to dress differently to appease her, but if they make her uncomfortable (for whatever dumb reason) she’s allowed to avoid them.

But also different situations because sex drive is possibly the strongest biological drive that we have, so even if you’re not helpless against it your brain can be distracted in a way that it won’t get from gendered clothing.

I’m not religious or devoid of self control, or even interested in a relationship with a “gym girl”. But I would still wish that the women at my gym chose to dress for function rather than to attract… whatever it is they want to attract. It gets tiresome.

That way, you can help someone else pay their bills!
