Yes. I’m not in line to inherit a fuck-you amount, but it’s substantial, and if I move to a poor country and live modestly I should be able to make it last indefinitely.
I’d invest if I was above the poverty line, income-wise, but I’m not. Downward mobility is a bitch.
The thing is, negotiation is always easier than implementation, which is why it comes before.
It’s pretty clear at this point we’re going to stop climate change right around as fast as technology forces us to. I don’t see any other plausible path.
Second person never has a gender in English. Saying “you” should also be fine, or “thee” if you feel like getting your quaker on.
Special requests notwithstanding - the platinum rule here is just to accommodate whatever you reasonably can.
The Mona Lisa is in the public domain, so no, that’s not really a good analogy for a recently published book.
So basically, they can try to stop you, but you’re allowed to win.
It’s trying to be. You can’t do everything on there you can do on Facebook, though, which is pretty much this meme.
That’s what it’s trying to do. There’s no way in hell it has the same level of technical features, let alone the same network size, though.
That being said, I’ve never been on either.
Yeah, that was actually an awkward wording, sorry. What I meant is that given a non-continuous map from the natural numbers to the reals (or any other two sets with infinite but non-matching cardinality), there’s a way to prove it’s not bijective - often the diagonal argument.
For anyone reading and curious, you take advantage of the fact you can choose an independent modification to the output value of the mapping for each input value. In this case, a common choice is the nth decimal digit of the real number corresponding to the input natural number n. By choosing the unused value for each digit - that is, making a new number that’s different from all the used numbers in that one place, at least - you construct a value that must be unused in the set of possible outputs, which is a contradiction (bijective means it’s a one-to-one pairing between the two ends).
Actually, you can go even stronger, and do this for surjective functions. All bijective maps are surjective functions, but surjective functions are allowed to map two or more inputs to the same output as long as every input and output is still used. At that point, you literally just define “A is a smaller set than B” as meaning that you can’t surject A into B. It’s a definition that works for all finite quantities, so why not?
Well, sometimes it happens. Lemmy was semi-broken during the APIocalypse, and there still isn’t such a thing as a FOSS Facebook, or search engine backend for that matter.
And Linux/BSD are so good proprietary developers rip them off to whatever degree legally permissible.
Sort of? I think this was more of a “see, Americans agree, women are shit”.
True, your policies don’t have to make sense if you win.
That being said, this guy runs a fringe party. They have a whole 3 seats in the Diet’s lower house and none whatsoever in the upper.
It’s the same in Australia. Something about the pacific must make parties switch places.
Pfft, he’s doing an amateur job of intimidating, then. It should have been thumbscrews or something. This way seems self defeating.
Yeah, I’m actually hella curious what the context was here. Why would he want any of that?
At least on the official web app, that doesn’t render as a link. You’ve got to do it as [whatever](u/pageflight@lemmy.world)
Literally just put it in that way, for future notice - there’s no hidden formatting here.
Hopefully somebody else $DAYJOBs at GitHub and will see this.
Uhh, so looking carefully at the picture, it appears they shouldn’t have bothered with the inner pathway at all, and should have just connected the bridge over the canal (?) in the background to whatever is under the camera.
Not only does the current design fail to provide a short path in demand, it leaves a goofy little boulevard behind the benches in what appears to be a dense, desirable urban area where you shouldn’t waste space.
I’m talking about solar, EVs and so on. It’s straight-up cheaper to not use fossil fuels now, for most things, and the remaining ones seem like they’re inevitably coming.
Don’t worry, I’m still pretty doomer about it. The planet’s going to get a bit messed up in the meanwhile, and we’d have just kind of boiled ourselves like a frog, if we hadn’t gotten lucky with cheap renewables suddenly appearing.
