That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
I was surprised to see that their negotiations broke down because of price/cost as opposed to technology (unproven node and to my knowledge intel doesn’t really have any experience with semi-custom x86 business).
one of the top education videos on the front page is by an occultist about how the wrong witchcraft caused 9/11, another is how the vaccines are going to start killing babies, etc.
This is actually pretty funny. I am glad I am staying away from Odysee.
In general, I am rather skeptical of “free speech absolutism” and what have you, comes off a little parochial to me.
No, TSMC is not supposed to be a permanent solution. Just Arrow Lake.
This would be an excellent law/regulation that makes complete sense.
The major companies can most definitely manage this (although they will cry crocodile tears).
That’s definitely true.
The rested on their lawrels when they were the only game in town from the late 2000s to ~2018.
That would not be a good thing. The CPU/GPU design and semiconductor fab industries are already massively concentrated.
You don’t understand the terms “censorship” or “free speech”. It’s a mere internet polemic for you, something to act out about .
You have no clue what you are talking about.
I think you need to cancel your citizenship (and your family members’ citizenships) and move to russia or PRC.
Not all surprising, he’s been pushing the russian narrative for a while now.
There are pros/cons to anonymous payments. It’s a bit sophomoric to claim privacy is impossible without anonymous payments.
There are most definitely many use cases for .onion sites without any sort of payments (“anonymous” or otherwise).
Monero support is a massive red flag for criminal activity, even by the very low standards of crypto.
I didn’t really get this either.
I did think the final paragraph was notable, a “zeitgeist of our times” if you will:
The absurdity of the situation prompted tech author and journalist James Vincent to write on X, “current tech trends are resistant to satire precisely because they satirize themselves. a car park of empty cars, honking at one another, nudging back and forth to drop off nobody, is a perfect image of tech serving its own prerogatives rather than humanity’s.”
So you’re saying russians genuinely believe that since 2014 they’ve been “fighting Nazism in Ukraine” and this is not a genocidal imperialist war?
As I mentioned in my OP, you do know that every russian had uncensored youtube within a single click on their smartphone until the last month or so? Btw, the YT app is available in russian and there is a lot of russian language content.
This makes no sense!
Nothing to do with “winning” and I never framed it as such. For me “winning” is kicking the Russians out of my country, not some internet discussion (like for you).
Keep on white washing russian crimes and enabling the degeneracy of a strong majority of russian society.
Just watch that it doesn’t bite you and your family in the ass one day! Your delusion will not be of much use then!
It would depend on the geo-political context, currently there are less viable options.
In a different context, beyond the main mass of hardcore criminal (several million russian) that require strict punishments, you could leverage a legal proof method.
Every russian signs a legal paper outlining and their overall support for genocidal imperialism, putin, knowingly promoting false russian propaganda and so on.
Based on the of level severity of their support for genocidal imperialism, they would have to pay financial compensation and engage in global community service work (de-mining in Syria, junior janitor in an infectious disease hospital in rural Africa).
The legal paper would have a clause stating that if you claim you never supported genocidal imperialism (as certified in the legal paper), but later evidence comes up that you were actually supportive of russian degeneracy, you lose all your assets and will be required to do two decade of global community service (or go to jail). This clause would be valid indefinitely for the life of the person.
Note, I am not saying the above-mentioned approach is viable right now. I am trying to show that there methods to create incentives for russians to be open about their support for genocidal imperialism.
I will need to take a more in-depth look the paper, but reading the introduction and conclusion, I don’t see such a clear critique, it sounds like you mostly made it up.
You just learned what a list experiment was just a few days ago and were arguing for a comical anecdotal view, so pardon my scepticism regarding your ability to read papers or act in good faith.
Prefer to talk to Ukraine = continue to occupation of Ukrainian territory, with torture camps and experimentation Ukrainian identity. I.e. genocidal imperialism.
We’ve seen how the russians acted after 2014, there is no reason trust them to act differently now.
You’re a delusion child, that is too cowardly to admit their mistakes and take a sober look at reality.
There times when it is reasonable to trust the US government.
You should never trust anything that comes out of russia; even their “opposition” (let alone their government thugs).
I agree with you, I am very desperately trying to prove something to someone who can’t even read the work of RFE/RL!
Total dupe!
That’s not a convincing answer.
Before our exchange you didn’t know what a list experiment was or what the term preference falsification meant.
Yet you were aggressively parroting the standard polemic about “innocent russians” and “all polling is wrong because it doesn’t align with my message”.
And now you’re acting all high and mighty with strawn men and “vastly different takeaways”.
You claim that the paper shows the mere existence of preference falsification. This is complete bullshit and you know it.
Preference falsification = A - B
Where:
A (~75%) = support for genocidal imperialism via regular polling
B (~65%) = support for genocidal imperialism via list experiments
If you don’t believe A or B to be true, then you can’t define whether preference falsification exists.
This is basic logic and you’ve totally failed it.
Diplomatic resolution? What’s that?
Russia continues to occupy 20% of Ukraine and then attacks again when they are ready?
Fucking awesome diplomatic resolution!
I am asking you about the hows and whys because you made a claim that we need to support russian “dissidents”.
Is it not reasonable to ask what and when we’ll see the outcome of this?
Why would you do something if you have no plan for how and when to achieve a given outcome?
You’ve thankfully never had to actually deal with russians, that’s what’s driving your petty bullshit and delusions.
Let’s hope things stay that way, for your own benefit.
It is very likely.
