That’s GPUs, not CPUs

You would hope that the containment is sealed for this though, releasing the material into the water still isn't ideal.

Just to be pedantic, propaganda doesn't have to be false.

"The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause."

Citing a correct fact about the world is not propaganda, as facts are neither doctrine nor "reflect views".


You can cite facts to provoke an emotional response and make people sympathetic to your ideology. That's propaganda.

> Citing a correct fact about the world is not propaganda, as facts are neither doctrine nor "reflect views".

It says "propagation of doctrine" and facts can be used to propagate a doctrine.

Edit:

Here's a definition from Wikipedia:

> NATO's 2011 guidance for military public affairs defines propaganda as "information, ideas, doctrines, or special appeals disseminated to influence the opinion, emotions, attitudes, or behaviour of any specified group in order to benefit the sponsor, either directly or indirectly".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda#Definitions

Does that sound like the information has to be false to be propaganda?


I didn't say that.

> Well, if it is [technically] correct, then it's obviously not "propaganda", but simply the truth.

What does that mean?

Claim is correct => Claim is not propaganda

Also means

Claim is propaganda => Claim can not be correct

You don’t think Norwegians will hesitate to give trump the peace price if he does what he does?

I didn't say that. I said their border with Russia doesn't influence that decision.

But why wouldn’t it? It seems sensible that Norwegians are more concerned with Russian aggression than the average westerner, so they would also disapprove more of trump, no?

The committee selecting the winner is formed of Norwegians. Norwegians "average worldview" and sources of information therefore affects who gets the prize.

Why?

They absolutely will not give it to Trump. If anyone will get it, it will be the people of Ukraine.

Dude 'nobel' peace prize has nothing to do with actual scientific Nobel prices as they were originally intended, its highly political medal for various political stances and activism dobe by very different people.

The list of its recipients with properly shameful past ain't short neither and I don't recall a single one recently which wasn't somehow controversial to put it mildly.


As a Norwegian ... the odds of a committee formed in Norway to select Trump for the peace prize is just zero.

Are you talking about a different Taiwan? In what world is the economy of Taiwan stagnating for decades?

Look at the growth in GDP and GDP per capita here and tell me that’s stagnation:

Taiwanese here

Taiwan Econ has stagnated for decades.

Hence the top low birth rate in the world

Avg salary of tw is 1.5k usd. The same as 20-30 yrs ago



Only 50% increase? Thats very bad

Well now were shifting the goalpost. That's not stagnation.

How would that work? The hardness of the light on the moon is because the moon has no atmosphere. Moonlight at night is still affected by the atmosphere in the same way sunlight is.

It's because the moonlight is comparatively dim. Even when your eyes have fully adjusted there is a threshold below which you just can't pick up the light. The scattered moonlight is below your detection threshold so the shadows appear completely black. Your color cones are also less sensitive than the black and white rods, so colors are muted or even missing and you are left with a landscape of stark greys just like the moon.

It won’t. Especially when you use private relay on an iPhone, it won’t use local DNS (except if the requested domain isn’t found, it can probably still route local domain names?).

That doesn’t make any sense. You’re not giving the license in the ToS to the program but to the company. But the company isn’t processing any data I enter into the browser. I run the browser myself and they never get access to the data.

Right, but under US law you cannot give a license to a program. Only to people, or groups of people that we call a company. You’re giving Mozilla permission to implement the features in Firefox, since you can’t just give permission to Firefox.

But Firefox doesn’t need a license to give me a program that I can use to do stuff on my device. They only need a license if they get access to the data.

As I've said, I totally agree. But Mozilla’s lawyers don’t.

Yeah, but the 100 person digging crew is going to get 100 excavators.

Have you ever been on a construction site? How many excavators do you think a company needs?
