Right now the drive to diversify is entirely political.
Ok great you hate Trump, congrats.
The FACT is that there is no serious alternative to the USD as a reserve currency.
The currencies mentioned (euro, yuan) are indeed probably the closest in a basically empty field.
The yuan is controlled by a deeply dishonest tyrannical government that hasn't authentically reported financial information for decades. The EU is an anti democratic talking shop that can't manage to stand up a coast guard, much less manage a monetary policy.

Don't get me wrong, there are major, major issues with how the US handles economics. Inter party vacillations every 4 years. Dishonesty about inflation or economic data when it's politically inconvenient. But to the point of real-world contexts critical to underpin faith in a currency, the US remains economically dominant, more militarily secure than all others, and well supplied with food, water, oil, and raw materials.

The workers tried overthrowing the government. Jewish Bolsheviks seized power and ruled the country. They then murdered ten million Christians in Ukraine.

This genocide was covered up by the New York Times, who won a Pulitzer Prize that they still proudly display today.

Why do you think Big H was so fixated on invading Russia and eliminating Jews?

The Bolsheviks openly declared their intention of conquering all of Europe. They tried, too, only to be stopped by the valiant Poles at the Vistula.

Everyone knows about H and the six million, but nobody has heard of Yagoda the Jew and the ten million. Make Yagoda famous!

The illusion of intelligence evaporates if you use these systems for more than a few minutes.

Using AI effectively requires, ironically, advanced thinking skills and abilities. It's not going to make stupid people as smart as smart people, it's going to make smart people smarter and stupid people stupider. If you can't outthink the AI, there's no place for you.

I continue to use burned DVDs for backing up the critical stuff. Not perfect, of course, but not electromechanically-failure prone like a hard disk drive, not "terms of service" failure prone like cloud storage, and not "the charge magically held in the gate leaked away" failure prone. I have optical discs over 25 years old which are still perfectly readable.

The other post linked the study.
As far as I can tell yes, your supposition that there's "averaging" going on is correct. Insofar as I can see (I skimmed it, certainly) they report roughly similar quantities of data from makes and females going into their analysis, but after that it's all lumped together.
Further, while they acknowledge in their analysis that their data is biased toward West, anglophone, rich cultures, I feel like they universalize their conclusions a little too freely.
Really fascinating stuff here, but imo their data is a bit too summarized.

Who even uses it? The world has been using editpad since Windows XP. You don't? Wow.

Which draws the AC's like flies. Thanks for playing.

Say hi to Xi for me.

"why did we continue to feed them?"
Did you forget about how the whole industrial Western world runs on oil and that alternatives didn't meaningfully exist until the last decade (and even now they're basically edge cases)?

It would that spoil your little "durr it's all them corporations fault!" oversimplification?

And when I say RUN I mean "run natively" not in a shell of a shell of a virtual machine or whatever.

Maybe try reading?
The link I posted: "...University President Fr. Dennis Dease announced Wednesday night that gifts and pledges to the campaign total $515,104,773. ..."

...their power prices are certainly coming down then, yes?

If not, then it's going to remain a niche thing like the HUNDREDS of active linux distros.

Don't get me wrong, for certain things, particularly things that have a person of high computer-literacy to maintain it, some linux is probably great.

OTOH most people and businesses want their computers to serve as tools, not necessarily their "hobby" to constantly futz with. They don't really give much of a shit how much of their meaningless daily work is hoovered up by MS.

The Grand Canal of China is 1776 km. California Aqueduct is 640 km. Los Angeles Aqueduct is 375 km. Rasht known as the "City of Rain" (Shahr-e BÄrÄn) is about 300 km from Tehran. Start digging the aqueduct!

Pesky facts.

"Just a small percentage of the hundreds of thousands of migrants processed by the U.S. this year have received COVID-19 vaccinations while in federal custody, and half of them are unaccompanied children" - a few hundred k out of 1.6 million over the reported span

"The RIM community has (statistically significantly) lower vaccination coverage when compared to those born in the US."

(Japan) https://www.sciencedirect.com/...

https://www.thegazette.com/gov... This one tries hard to disprove it, the best they can get is "While vaccination rates appear to be low among migrants and asylum-seekers, data shows few are actually crossing the border and making their way into the United States" - in 2021, which would suggest that the tidal fucking wave of immigrants in the later Biden 'open border' phase were actually a big issue because then they very much WERE 'making their way into the US'.
