How many armies -- does it take to change a light bulb?
At least five. The Germans to start it, the French to give up really easily after only trying for a little while, the Italians to make a start, get nowhere, and then try again from the other side, the Americans to turn up late and finish it off and take all the credit, and the Swiss to pretend nothing out of the ordinary is happening....

What happens if a women and two men are marooned on a desert island?
If they are Swedish, the men will marry and ignore the woman....

This shit is hilarious and I totally missed it 7-8 years ago when it was relevant.

https://thebullelephant.com/stockholm-plunged-into-chaos-with-gender-equal-snowplowing/
So in Sweden they figured they had to make snow-clearing/snowplowing gender-equal because statistically men uses the roads, cars more, and women the sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Now it's not clear to me if they divided the resources equally or scheduled the sidewalk clearing first, but Stockholm got stuck, public-transportation failed - which was also used by women and children abundantly.

Newest Edition, with less Ghork.


First thing first:
That dude of the Primitive Technology channel and all his copycats have a great advantage: access to unlimited supply of bamboo. Unlimited to their objectives. That stuff is great, tuff as shit, light as feather, can be used to many purpose with little modification and not too much work.

I also read most of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Responsibility_and_accountability
I think technology and it's use are running forward and lawmakers lag behind. Those who spent any time in the past two decades on the internet have a giant heap of data about them. I think Bernd posted a video about a security eggsbert, I think he works kind of a private investigator many time cooperating with officials and he said in that video anonymizing data worth nothing it can be de-anonymized with ease, and both companies and govt agencies do.
Now this law was passed at 2016. This year the EU countries have to start implementing it. Who knows how long it takes until it finishes. The whole stuff is kinda vague (it can be modified when necessary tho), and I don't know for example how the EU can force a foreign company to do whatever? There are sanctions but what jurisdiction the EU has over a US based firm for example Facebook and how the EU will force the sanctions onto for example said company?

Not too sure if this is the thread but tech jobs seem to be fubar in my perspective.
I've been applying for a good amount of time, to say at least a year and a half and didn't get anywhere besides almost entering a company with a bootcamp.
I'm not too sure if the side of web development is fucked, or if i should learn a new stack, or whatever, but it makes me squirm because I know i got the skill to get things done.
I think I should've chosen a different career but what can I do now

>this is the thread
Sure why not. The situation is the result of the changes in "tech", although has social and political aspect. I think it's a bit early to blame it on ML.
We were told in the last decade or two that IT is a field with many opportunities for lack of professionals and exberts, so many went to IT and now it gets oversaturated perhaps. I dunno.
It's lot about how pushy the job seeker is, how he can sell himself (the world of whores we live in), and ofc what connections he has. For example on the Hungary the well connected web developers can get around $250 000 with a public contract for a couple pages WordPress site (for building and hosting it for 2 years). I'm not joking, was just in the news last week. Well, perhaps it's the juicy top. And probably they don't get to keep the whole sum, and have to give most of it to pal in the bureaucratic machine, I dunno, I don't see that part. So I suggest schmoozing with politicians and officials.
Thing is what makes you different than the next codemonkey? They all write in their shit how special they are and how they know everything. I think RMS wrote something that should work on FLOSS stuff, contributing to projects, which isn't a bad idea, that way one can build some contacts and find some work through them.

That's what it is for the most part, a company may be hiring trainees/jr devs and they can get 6k for a bootcamp alone. It's crazy.

I do search for OSS proyects here and there, but it's a bit complicated. I can never tell when a proyect is good or if it's just something that realistically has no use case. I have built myself with the .Net stack and back end development so I can't really just jump into a decompilation project with no C knowledge for example.

This sounds cool: The DECRYPT Project
Includes history and AI/ML tools.
https://de-crypt.org/
About:
Thousands of enciphered historical manuscripts are buried in libraries and archives. Examples of such material are diplomatic correspondence and intelligence reports, private letters and diaries as well as manuscripts related to secret societies. The bulk of these historical manuscripts will remain undeciphered unless we can automate the processes involved in decoding them. Our aim is to develop resources and computer-aided tools for decoding of historical source material by using AI and cross-disciplinary research...
Tools:
collection of digitized images of ciphertexts and encryption keys along with metadata information about their provenance, location, transcription, and possible cryptanalysis or commentary.
all records in thedatabase are open to the public
tools for transcription and decipherment of historical ciphers
Historical cipher images can be transcribed, i.e. transformed into a computer readable text format
transcribed ciphertext can be corrected
Decode Database, HistCorp, TranscripTool, CrypTool whatnot.
open source under the Apache license v.2.0 with the exception od Decode db.
Quite a few Hungarians in the project apparently. They started publications in 2019 so fairly new thing this is, probably the emergence of these machine learning models allowed them to form this team.

Looking at the Decode db, the earliest dated document is from the 15th century. There is one that says 1300-1699. I think accessing documents needs a registration, at least when I tried to enlarge the photo of the document it said I have insufficient permissions.

Complete multiracial multilingual living around the world all alone since childhood I speak fluent formal Arabic too, aside Dutch and so many other languages.

Egypt isn't the oldest, even Egypt is very poor, very dry, far off the center of the Equator line.
Most highest humidity on Earth: Indonesia, meaning many much older artifacts has decayed much faster than just few thousands years Egypt.
And Judaism/Christianity/Islam are just the same dumb.
Even most of people know nothing about much older ancient modern civilization here in Indonesia before mega eruption of Toba supervolcano of Sumatra 75,000 years ago.
Including 25,000 years old Gunung Padang pyramid in Indonesia.

Hindu isn't from India either. Original Hindu is Indonesia not in India.
Hindu in India and in Bali are totally different
Indus, Indo, Hindia, Hindu = Indus Islands = Indo Nesos = Indonesia.
The same with Astrology came from Indonesia not by the Greeks, Egyptians nor Aramaic/Arabs/Jews.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just frauds branches of modified Hinduism in India.
Real Hindu came from Indonesia not India.
Hindu, Hindia, Indus, Indo, etc = Indo Nesos, Indus islands, Indonesia over 17000 islands, exactly on the center of the equator line, the center of all civilization, all Indo around the world came from here especially because of eruption of Toba supervolcano Sumatra 75000 years ago bigger than Yellowstone USA, resulted today world's largest volcanic lake Toba Sumatra.

It's similar to the Indonesian. There's a hill in the eastern border of Visoko (NW from Sarajevo), which quite angular and reminds one a pyramid. There are claims it is one, and there are some stones laying around that supposedly were part of it or something.

The problem starts with the first line.
https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
a. Killing members of the group;
b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Well, breddy sure they already killed members of an ethnic group, caused them serious bodily and mental harm, etc., but as long as they say they have no intent to destroy even in part, noone will escalate this over a handful of Arabs.
>There is nowhere for Palestinians to go, also, they shouldn’t have to leave their land
This is reasonable ofc.
>Iran sends a biological weapon to Israel, devastating the country
This could happen sometimes. But the Israelis are excellent in gathering intelligence (so I heard), they'll know about it.
>Full Middle East Muslim vs. Jew war
Nah. The situation is far complex to just split the place like that.

I'll play advocatus diaboli.

Human life matters far more than biomass and forest coverage statistics. Non-human life is less valuable than ours and is under our administration; it is ours to use for the betterment of our species. Of course, as responsible stewards it is our duty to make use of it carefully so future generations won't be deprived by overuse. And as sensitive stewards we can appreciate the beauty of nature and recognize that some non-human life can feel pain, and adjust our rule over nature accordingly. But the life of some common tree is not worth more than the life of a human; it is not even worth the same.

You can cut down thousands and thousands of square km of virgin Amazon land and you'll still have enough untouched rainforest for every purpose you can think of. The new open spaces have housed wave after wave of settlers adding up to a population in the millions with major urban centers housing international airports and industry. Further south, the acidic soil of the central South American savannah was defeated and its neverending empty flatlands were turned into a global-level breadbasket with several neatly planned cities, a victory of willpower and reason over vacuum.
If not for deforestation, most of those settlers would now live in overcrowded eastern slums. Is that really a better way of life than living as a pioneer in a plot of deforested land? Millions of Europeans left their overcrowded continent to build something new on the other side of the Atlantic for similar reasons, and the conquest of the Amazon repeats this on a smaller scale.

And then there's the problem of national sovereignty. Would you feel comfortable with a sparsely populated porous border thousands of km long with several unstable states? That's what the northern border is. FARC guerillas have crossed into Brazilian territory before. Only a populated Amazon guarantees a safe border.

"It's all greed", you might say. It is true that greed is not the ideal driving impulse for the conquest of virgin land, and sadly it's a driving force. But the economic use of conquered land is not evil per se. It is easy to think so in a Scandinavian country where further economic growth brings little improvement to collective and individual well-being. But that does not mean material prosperity is unrelated to happiness. It just has diminishing returns. As an undeveloped state we are still at a point where economic expansion can have social/imaterial benefits. And within a globalized economy, exporting raw materials and the services and industrial goods produced within the cleared space contributes to overall prosperity, allows other undeveloped states to have their own improvements and, through trade, creates relations of interdependency which bring countries closer together and contribute to global peace.

It would but there isn't. There is coke, which is made from mineral coal (but mineral coal is also just dead vegetation and animals). They use a bio- prefix to signal it's "healthy". If they would say char, they hype will be less.
Maybe there are different processes to make char, like when one in his backyard slowly smolders a bunch of waste from his garden, or I can imagine "factory made" charcoal, liek putting them into some container which gets heated up enough to turn the wood and stuff into charcoal. But how the end product would differ? And then would the second version be cost effective (one needs energy to heat up something, that needs fuel, with the first method the thing heats itself). Well they probably could sell it for horrible prices (and regulate to death the sale of "home made" char, to kill competition).

Dugin was thinking geopolitically, tying imperial geography to trade/transport and then to how an empire has to organize its military, society and politics to control its territory. I have no idea if the article does justice to his theory, it's brief and doesn't get into the nuances. When an empire did form in South America, it was a lot different from the Eurasian land empires, either because of circumstances or geography.
Brazil becomes more land-based in the republican period, with the Navy becoming of secondary importance to the Army and a conscious, long-term and still incomplete effort to move the economic center of northward and inland. This is best symbolized by the capital's transfer to Brasília. A poweful bureaucratic apparatus and central authority did form. On the other hand, instead of "conservatism and the permanence of legal norms", there was greater political instability.

While one could make abstractions, find common themes, deduce underlaying rules, set up criteria, etc. the individual cases will be different enough if we take closer look. Geography is certainly a decisive factor for state and country formation, how the people live there. Other circumstances, like the historical background, and starting point also matters. The fate of Americas were all changed and basically all parts of it was put to a similar course when the colonizers set their foot onto the shores from their ships arriving from the motherland, and then they spread from the shores to inland.
I think historians, political scientists and the like view the region of the Eurasian steppes wrong. There are people with different ideas ofc, but they are fairly marginal. I'll take now an idea, a fragment of an idea, and will add a couple more fragments.
Eurasia should be viewed as a big pond, or a quite unusual river flowing in two directions, with ditches and banks on each (Eastern and Western) end, trying to deflect the flood, keep the water out. These banks are such empires as the Roman and the Chinese. Maybe even the southern borders with Iran and India are in similar position. In this giant region too empires formed but they are more changeable, more fluid, than what the brick people (Roman, Chinese, Iranian, Indian) build on the periphery. And they create waves as they emerge and put the water in motion, which then run towards the banks, sometimes over it causing floods and crises and changes. The point of emergence is always a different place, and when the flood reaches to the end will differ. The last wave was pushed by the Russian colonialism towards the East. The Mongol blokes appearing in this war with Ukraine now as soldiers are the waves reflected back from the Eastern banks (there were earlier waves too, it's like when one pebble causes many waves in a puddle, and stones are thrown generously into the Eurasian pond). The Central Asians appearing in European Russia is the sames.
Compared to this the countries emerging from the overseas colonies will have a very different fate, organization, and behviour.

That 8 wheeler looks badass.
Are they... symbolic? Any meaning they want to express?

They are what they are, tractors represent agriculture. The parades happen everywhere and are both civilian and military in content, back in middle school I remember marching past the town hall with my class. But this is the first time tractors partake in the capital's parade. The subtext is Bolsonaro's alliance with agribusiness.
