They measure productivity in GDP which is poor way to measure. Pole produced 10 apples for 10 cents, Brit produced 1 for 1 euro. Who is more productive?

Honestly IDK why companies especially medium-big don’t do this. They could plug in RAG with internal/confidential data and have better results and security. I guess question is what is capital plus maintenance cost of running such infra for say 10k+ employees

I mean, if structure is O(1) for low N, it’s still O(1) for high N. If O “changes” from 1 to N with size then it’s never been 1. All I’m saying

“if it’s big”

is not how you identify correct O

I’m speaking in general. Like when I search for news portal in <insert search engine>. I think no one moderates results based on factuality

Be me, have 15 items. Use any structure with any O. Latency still low

That’s not how Big O works

It should be a crime to misrepresent facts in the way which can discredit people/institutions. WTF is this journalism. Ok, article describes facts but people frequently decide whether to read it based on title.

It’s all nice and cool but wtf is that road sign. Who the hell going to pay attention to grey sign which doesn’t even look like road sign while driving on what looks like 30 km/h road

True, but USians don’t need visa to enter Schengen. So I don’t know how much of a difference it makes

No-vote doesn’t mean they are ok. If both candidates going to oppress your group, by not casting vote do you disagree with both or agree with the one who won?

I’d argue no-vote actually goes against president who is constantly vetoing. If you look at those who didn’t vote as “don’t care” that means they are open to whatever new policy to come. Then they are not supporting president veto. How is 1/3 for president (for his veto power) more than 2/3 against president or “don’t care”?

I’m not supporting no-vote stance. I think you still should vote for what is less evil for you personally. But some people just gave up on system.

Didn’t get point about 20%, can you elaborate?

Yeah, I was sleepy af. I meant kk of course, millions.

One man cares about what is in pants of other pair of adults.

Also he didn’t represent majority at election time (29% in first round). Turnout was just 66%. In second round he was just 2% ahead. Only 10kkk voted for him, out of 29kkk eligible. And I’m sure even less will vote for him if elections would be tomorrow. In any case controlling who can marry who based on their sex is pathetic mindset for a society

You need to give up you personal data and buy €199/year subscription first. Special offer for Burgerstan

I had this thought that if things continue to move in the same direction, technology will split into corporate and independent. What I mean is that you either setup your home server with all local stuff you need and connect to Fediverse only, or your hardware and digital life fully dependents on corporations and subscriptions.

I never paid attention to the fact that people have racks at home in futuristic movies but I guess that’s how authors see future too

Europe won’t do it. I don’t think it’s because it’s proxy war, rather few other reasons.

Firstly, because every European politician knows that they will lose next election or even get removed. I doubt many Europeans will go fight for Ukraine. Those who wanted - already there in foreign legion or volunteering. Shit, polls show that Europeans barely want to defend their country. Except maybe Poland. But there is no way Poland will send army to Ukraine.

Secondly, if Europe will be too aggressive risk of China to get involved becomes high. It’s not like China is Russia’s bro. China making a profit from selling “dual purpose” goods and buying shadow oil at discount. If China gets involved then US is too, though at this point I’m even not sure on which side.

Thirdly, it’s maybe counterintuitive but helping Ukraine with only equipment and funds without getting directly involved may be the only tactics which will work against Russia. Russia’s recruitment is diminishing. Russian society somewhat like American - individualistic, indifferent and nationalistic at the same time. Sending European army can reinforce “we fight against NATO” propaganda points and boost recruitment

Europeans do want they do always - play long and safe. It maybe not good but IMHO better than destabilizing things even more. Unfortunately all those coulda shoulda simply not possible in real world because of how society works

Oh no, bad Europe helps to uphold basic country’s right of territorial integrity and existence.

What a bot you are.

War can be finished the moment Russia goes home. Ukraine never wanted this war but Russia somehow forgot to ask

Your IP is your PII

Basically rich who own resources will trade between each others. Poor will become poorer and eventually either become “slaves” or go anarchy in territories which have no interest for rich. Before that happens there will be transition period when not rich but still sociopathic enough will be still paid well to oppress poor to extremes where there are no means to resist. This will continue until oppression can be automated. Then oppressors will face same oppression. Basically max level post apocalyptic capitalism cyberpunk but without widely available fancy prosthetic. More of junkyard, gangs, eat worms cyberpunk for most of us. Likely it will take maybe few of hundreds years to get to such extreme point, depending on how dumb and passive humanity will be. Though there will be few points where we will have a chance to revolt. I think there’s a decisive point somewhere within nearest 10-15 years. If AI thing won’t burst within this time we will have next critical point somewhere in 30-60 years after first point. This is where things will start really affect future middle class. After that point if there will be no global change we are fucked.

P.S. This is all pulled out of my ass. I’m probably wrong. Do something about it if you can/want, but don’t stress about it. Stressing doesn’t help. If it makes it easier for you - we are unlikely to live long enough to be affected significantly

Fake and geh. Amerykanie nie mają pojęcia czym jest metr.

I’m not saying Article 5 is UN. I’m saying UN authorizes NATO operations (including the one initiated by triggering article 5) meaning Europe’s participation in Afgan invasion actually example of following international law, not selectively ignoring it
