Brazil is no longer a state in Mexico after it moved to China.

Ernie Anastos… That’s an 81 year old I’d vote for.

This article has a hard paywall, so I found another source.

According to this article it seems the impact was limited because it only effected the most recent Debian server release. So the issue was limited, discovered quickly, and easily fixed.

The recent windows issues was extensive for all windows machines, discovered after massive outages, and difficult to fix.

I’m not sure this is a win for Linux, but there a number of decisions that CrowdStrike made that failed to live up to the trust issue by WHQL certification.

I think that this didn’t have the same extent for Linux is pure luck.

Each one of these recommendations raises more questions that previous one.

When learn about and discover the missing child in the same instant.

Isn’t that due to the reassessment of property tax when a new owner purchases the property? And wouldn’t that be solved if the cap persists regardless of ownership change?

Thanks for motivating me.

I used to vote. Then people told me I was doing it wrong. So I stopped.

I’m very much the same way. Sales people are just give me hints of what not to trust and usually fold under any sustained inquiry about their product. Skilled sales people know when to turn me over to their subject matter expert. We get to geek and I actually learn a thing or two about their product and, often times, the state of the industry.

One of the things the above post doesn’t include are the people who championed her. Between Elliot Barnathan, the cardiologist whose lab she was initially hired into, to David Langer, the resident who was able to get her a job in neurosurgery department, she was lucky enough to have someone who could do the hype while she did her work brilliantly.

In the publishing world, a great editor can recognize the genius of a writer, give quality feedback, and protect them from the moneyed interests.

I don’t know if I’d call these people hype men, as they were so much more than hype, but they definitely hype the genius of the patronee.

Ah! Makes sense!

So my Chinese is pretty distant from actual usage, but when did 906 stop being 九百六？

How our tech habits are causing our eyes to elongate, which causes myopia

Oh man… I suspect I shouldn’t play this with my boy then.

I agree with your overall thesis but your characterizations of the three tyrants are casually backwards.

Mao was a leader of a militant group first. He won political power in that group and that group won a large following of people over several decades. His status as tyrant emerges from that history and cultivated in a desperate militaristic role which is already predisposed to authoritarian rule.

Hitler was similar, his authotarianism, is on display much earlier in the process, and part of his charismatic attraction. It was clear early on that Hitler was going to mow down anyone in his way. Still, he needed to acquire popular and then political power. He leveraged existing sentiment and thuggish groups such as the Freikorp.

Stalin was just a bureaucrat.
Just kidding. I know very little of Stalin’s rise to power except that it was internal to a party that already had seized power.

You are doing (a) god’s work. Unfortunately, most people have a naive understanding of how science is done in medicine and don’t understand the value of cohort studies.

The visual style and language puzzles definitely were the thing to get me to buy it. Currently on the scientist level with my son. He’s been in charge of exploring and I think he likes the different cultures associated with each level. And he’s been super excited every time we crack a puzzle or complete a language. Been lots of fun and glad they put in some deep thought into it.

I agree with this in general, but it doesn’t apply to this situation from what I can tell.

The American Compass isn’t something I’m familiar with before this article, but the article says they are trying to leverage right wing populism to traditional conservatism which I read as social conservatism.

As such, both the liberal groups the article highlights donate because the American Compass is anti-corporate.

The Hewlett Foundation did not reply, either, though the group has explained its donations online, stating that American Compass is “working to restore an economic orthodoxy that emphasizes the importance of family, community, and industry,” eschewing “growth for its own sake” in favor of “widely shared economic development that sustains vital social institutions.”

The other liberal group cites their pro-worker stance

In a statement for the Omidyar Network Foundation, a spokesperson told The Daily Beast, “We would encourage you to reach out to American Compass directly for comment on the pro-worker elements they were able to advocate for related to Project 2025.” The spokesperson did not reply to follow-ups seeking specific comment on American Compass’ affiliation with anti-democratic groups and ideologies that appear at odds with Omidyar’s historical support for inclusive global development.

Now, I think their pro-worker stance is short sighted and self serving at best and disingenuous at worst, but, for reasons I can’t seem to glean, these organizations weren’t able to see that clearly. Or they could, but it doesn’t make sense with their other donations.

Portugal does not require treatment.

Portugal doesn’t require treatment. I don’t know where this idea came from, but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this misinformation.
