And I guess the entire world grasped in unison: “What a reflex! Too bad, it would be EPIC!”

You have to put a segment of “disk” outside of the “disc” set on that Venn diagram. You are forgetting about solid state disks.

Yeah, there was a series of crazy cults by the 20th century too. But they were a much smaller share of the people.

Peter himself.

And then before the turn of the 5th century, the 10th century, the 15th century… Christians do love those round numbers.

is the first in the history where companies own the country

Hum… You need to learn some history.

Well, they would need to feed some kind of cattle…

Why do you care if the place you don’t go does something you don’t like?

Stuff like history, art, and how a fucking analog clock works

Well, I don’t exactly disagree… but one of those things is completely different from the others.

I would agree more if we were talking literally about “how an analog clock works” instead of the convention to reading them. But it would still be a niche knowledge that you can take from Wikipedia if it ever becomes relevant to you.

Kids these days do absolutely still know how to read analog clocks.

Besides, they probably shouldn’t put effort into that. Those things are close to useless nowadays. It’s mostly a case of schools being conservative… but then, it’s not that much of an effort, so there are more important things to care about.

Do you know what “Exchange-Value” represents?

An attempt of pushing some amount of subjectivity into his value theory, but still in a way that keeps it objective and still fails to predict trade.

None of the LTV hold up. For a start, it predicts that people won’t ever trade. That’s quite a big flaw because, you know, people do trade. Theories of value predicting people won’t trade was a big problem by the time Marx was young. His one doesn’t solve the problem at all, but well, it wasn’t a problem anymore when he published.

The family of theories of value that predict that trade happens are called “subjective theories of value”.

For example, the entire labor theory of value doesn’t hold up on the real world and Economics had already better explanations for the phenomenon it was trying to explain.

In that it ignored the previous half a century of (well tested) advances on the area and just made claims that were already known not to hold on the real world.

In that it’s an outdated economics theory… In fact, it was outdated when it was first published already.

Psychoanalysis is an outdated philosophical theory, so indeed just a scam now.

Quite like Marxism.

Yeah, if you transmit less data in total, your odds of having a random problem reduce. But not much, because electromag interference tends to last for relatively long times and you still need to communicate often for minimizing latency.

That is, unless the problem is a saturated channel. If that’s the case, your situation may improve much more by sending less data.

After you establish a connection, it doesn’t hop anymore.

I don’t think BT devices do frequency hopping. The audio bandwidth is reduced just because the mic signal is added and has to share the connection. There’s no change on the physical connection.

(Now, it would be great if there was some frequency hopping and your phones could reserve a full FM channel instead of messing with digital compression.)

Does ML censors parts of words now?

“Mail the sysadmin every 5 minutes” looks like an incredibly useful script to know.
