To be fair, most of these apps were made before the notification categories were invented and they don’t keep the consultants that made the initial app, or want to pay for the change.

Yes. The whole post is a trick with statistics. Web pages have a limited lifespan. You can do the aame trick with human life spans.

“50 % of humans that lived 60 years ago are now dead”. You would tweak the numbers to be factual but something like that makes sense to me.

If you only keep the samples you started out with, of course it’s going to decline over time. The data is guaranteed to not grow since nothing is ever added.

I don’t think n64 did. They even had major frame drops in many games.

My main point is that falsifying a hypothesis based on how it makes you feel is not very productive. You just repeated it again. You seem to get mad by just posing the question.

systematic teaching of humans, where we are teaching each other causal relations. The two are fundamentally different.

So you mean that a key component to intelligence is learning from others? What about animals that don’t care for their children? Are they not intelligent?

What about animals that can’t learn at all, wheere their barains are completely hard wired from birth. Is that not intelligence?

You seem to be objecting that OPs questions are too philosophical. The question “what is intelligence” can only be solved by philosophical discussion, trying to break it down into other questions. Why is the question about the “brain as a calculator” objectionable? I think it may be uncomfortable for you to even speak of but that would only be an indicator that there is something to it.

It would indeed throw your world view upside down if you realised that you are also just a computer made of flesh and all your output is deterministic, given the same input.

This might be revisionism but laying down flat and doing your enemy’s bidding is the same as joining them.

Sweden also stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s but not because of privatisation. It’s just very expensive. Now everyone one is blaming each other when everything breaks down, especially politicians that are no longer in the government. There is no “accountability” for the government.

Noobs don’t know to avoid snaps… But that setup wpuld be good to recommend if a noob really needs to use arch, btw.

Just get Krita already!

That’s not how randomness works. You would want to randomize once, saving the number of steps remaining until the bullet is the next shot, decrementing the number of steps for each try.

No software updates needed if there is no software to begin with…

Yes, one could argue that he is still keeping up with the fraud scheme he was just sentenced for. Could he be charged again?

I think the point is that if it can be sabotaged by a central authority, it sucks. Both Apple and Google suck.

That’s not how Apple works at all. They have had iMessage for a long while now and refuse to open up the technology. They want to monopolize the communications so that they can keep controlling it.

My guess is they are just trying to sabotage any attempts at an open standard.

What I mean is that it might not be so simple as not giving them access to it if other institutions persist in forcing it on them.

In Sweden, it was mandatory for kindergartens to have “digital learning tools” up until a year ago. I wonder who came up with that brilliant idea.

But it actually makes sense with technology. If you need help, you want there to be a large community and corpus of knowledge to draw from.

Music is getting worse though. Spotify is bloating all searches with stuff you don’t want. The “Artist top songs” is rarely the most popular songs and is limited to 10 song. In the beginning you could list all the songs from an artist and sort it on “Plays”.

Super vague. You could interpret that regulated to mean that the militia needs to be skilled or trained as well, which would support OPs opinion.

Edit: typo

I think Americans have bigger issues to deal with than chargers or net neutrality (e.g. playing world police, or starving children, abortion laws). Thankfully the EU can step up.
