Thanks, I was thinking about alluding to it even more obviously.

It is not my native language, and I wouldn't have made this mistake if I wasn't in a hurry and on my phone. Unfortunately I cannot edit it anymore.

"Borders didn't exist before the treaty of Westphalia" is a hell of a take. If you want to stretch the State Sovereignty / Non-Interference aspect of it to that definition you'…

And if that tickles your fancy, "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" [0] is an excellent miniseries from 1979 about a mole in MI6, perhaps the best spy series ever made. I didn't care about the …

A group of men crossing the border into another country was (usually) automatically considered invaders if its size exceeded a certain number. Eg Iberian Peninsula (Reconquista and later): Foreign par…

One must distinguish between "classical" communism (Stalinism, which is dead except in North Korea) and the modern variety, which is alive and well and I think is what you mean. There are ma…

Humans and animals enforce their borders since millennia. The idea that borders are unimportant is very very recent. That is to say, its commie gobbledygook.

I don’t get it either. I feel people are increasingly knee-jerk about downvoting, triggered by certain phrases, perhaps „vibe-coding“ in this case.

Imagine the person asking this question to be a soviet commissar, and you get an accurate mental model to work with.

Steve Sailor's obituary is very much worth reading, too: https://www.stevesailer.net/p/sir-tom-stoppard-rip …

Memory price fluctuations due to market demand and monetary inflation - the increase in quantity of fiat money, diluting its value - are two separate and unrelated things.

Things an engineer early in his career would write.

No, my point was that "US leftists are leftist-light compared to the rest of the world" couldn't be further from the truth.

I get the impression that you attempt to discuss in good faith. This is probably as far as we will get.

Charlie Kirk was shot by a center-right guy on September 10, 2025? Luigi Mangione shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO December 4, 2024 and had an anti-capitalist manifesto, was he center right? What about E…

Whats the difference? Both are (or were) funded by NGOs and the state department.

Well.

Not even virtue, codes of conduct just signals leftist control over an organisation.

- OpenAI triggered the DRAM crisis via their October 1st deal: https://openai.com/index/samsung-and-sk-join-stargate/ - contract guarantees 900.000 wafers per month, which i…

Pairing worked flawlessly with my Tado X thermostats, to add another anecdotal data point.

PSA: Chris Langan has never achieved a super high score on a real IQ test. Since the 90's he is feuding with Rick Rosner, when they both edited the Mega Society’s journal Noesis, over the title o…

"Proprietaries" are also known as "cutouts", and the CIA uses those extensively in order to do things they really aren't allowed to do and to provide plausible deniability. Mi…

When I'm looking for politically unbiased news, I make sure to visit the fine internet presence of the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.

How many chat apps did Google launch and kill? Its all about incentives: how to get that promotion. Maintaining a well working, established app isn’t going to get you anywhere.

This is the most complete explanation I have read so far, which would have cleared up my confusion back then. Most texts on endianness (Wikipedia etc) don’t explain this properly.

This exactly where the confusion came from for me. I was doing bit shifts in C to fix some DMA’d I2S output data on an ESP32, and then you have the two concepts: individual integers shifted left/…
