I mean, it depends on exactly how fast the water is moving (as well as how deep it is; both things matter). If we're talking normal river current (say, 1 foot per second), most adults can stand in eighteen inches and be fine, if it doesn't catch them off guard. If the current is faster, then it doesn't have to be as deep to have essentially the same effect, or if it's deeper, it doesn't have to be as fast.

There are of course some caveats to the above. One is, once you get past about 4-5 feet deep (depending on the person), you're floating or swimming anyway, so additional depth doesn't matter very much at that point; but additional velocity still makes a difference.

Where did you read that? If it's true it would be momentous. A totally discretionary fund of $2-6B per year (based on nVidia's projections of selling $2-5B per quarter to China) would give the president enormous unchecked power.

I've spend some time searching and haven't found anything to substantiate this claim. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd like to see where you got the idea from.

It's common the world over. But one aspect of America's system really gets my goat: you can be thrown off a jury for saying that you do not automatically believe the police. It's literally a question in many jury questionnaires and if you answer that you wouldn't assume a cop is telling the truth, you might as well have said you're in favour of jury nullification.

Inflation is not being treated as noise, if it were then we wouldn't index it away, we would just ignore it. The fact we are indexing it away is due to treating it as a real predictable trend.

However, the purpose of indexing it away is to normalize, due to the recognition that it's not the absolute prices that matter, only their relative relationships

Inflation is a flaw in the measuring instrument we're using (fiat currency), kind of like if you have a metallic ruler and you increase the ambient temperature, then the expansion will make the inch markings on the ruler be longer than an actual inch.

Your Streisand Effect definition is too narrow, imho. The issue isn't disclosure against the company's wishes, it's the increased awareness by the public arising from consequences of the company's initial policy choice of halting operations and service to the Russian public.

I rise to speak!

'Tis but risible, in the extreme!

Recently, even!

Oh yeah? If you're so Canadadian, where's your accent, eh?

(not disagreeing)

Oh cool. Now its not just chat bots, but chat clients can take our jobs too.

What a world to live in.

Yeah the prices have gone up. But thats due to input tarifs. The thing thats squeezing US farmers, other than losing all their export markets, is that all their machinery and fertilizer costs have skyrocketed. A combine harvester is a huge investment, not just in initial outlay but continued maintainence. Couple that with fertilizer costs soaring (some of that is due to the ukraine invasion but most of its tarifs) and the loss of an affordable workforce due to ICEs rampage, and its really bad days for farmers.

 

Oh, forgot to mention I'm from the Midwest. There's no room in the garage for a _car_ of all things, haha, that would be ridiculous. No, the garage is where we keep the garage stuff. You know, the lawn mower, snow blower, garden tools, step ladder, extension ladder, bicycles, sawhorses, sports gear, extra bricks left over from when the patio was put in, spare pieces of plywood, hedge trimmers, mattocks, old paint buckets, hula hoops, bungee cords, antifreeze, grill, charcoal, lighter fluid, and so on and so forth. There are four people in this household, so the garage is pretty much full. It think there might be a cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor out there.

Israel has citizens beyond the borders you're talking about, many who were born there or brought there as children. So withdrawing is not an option. You can argue, reasonably or unreasonably, that's unjust, but you have to deal with the world the way it is, not how you got there. It would create new injustices to undo the changes, not right a wrong.

It would be wonderful to time travel back to the late 1940s, get Truman to offer Texas as a location for the new Jewish state, and avoid the problem altogether. But time travel doesn't exist, and it's not clear anyone would accept that deal. So now we have a country that people have been born and raised into, that's majority Jewish, in a world where it's been proven over and over again Jews will suffer persecution and cannot rely on the hospitality of other nations to accept them as refugees.

Don't lose sight of that just because Israel's current political leaders are evil rotten people.

Netflix vs Paramount is Woke vs Anti-Woke? How? Both outlets are right wing. Netflix is basically violent action movies and right wing comedy, Paramount was just bought by members of Larry Ellison's family.

You guys just label everything "woke" - by which you just mean "non-fascist" - without actually even a second of thought or research, don't you?

The article explains how the Russians restarted their bricked cars. Three fingered salute, basically.

Novel respiratory infections.

Also. Second base.

The problem is asymmetric. It's easier to attack than to defend. AI scripts simply helps more attackers over the steep barrier to entry of the field.
