Also, why the hell would you need to detect the magnetic field of the heartbeat when he had already activated a locator beacon?

Most of what you’re describing is algorithms, and algorithms are useful, but they are overly emphasized in education, in my opinion. Some people memorize what the product of 2 twelves is, other people need to use an algorithm to calculate it using special properties of graphical and symbolic notations of a domain specific language.

Is memorizing your times tables “bad”?

In some ways no. Knowing many number facts speeds up your work.

In some ways yes. Relying on number facts exclusively and never learning algorithms reduces your ability to deal with problems that rely on facts you haven’t memorized.

Algorithms, effectively, produce facts. Some algorithms are incredibly complicated and require major shifts in symbolic representation of concepts you already have symbolic representations for. This can be incredibly difficult for some thinkers, who nonetheless would be good at math if they were not required to make this shift until they were cognitively ready for it.

Calculators basically implement algorithms and algorithm catalogs. They help you produce facts.

In some lessons, learning to derive the fact from specific algorithms is the point of that class. Using a calculator in this context is preventing you from the learning objective.

In other lessons, the facts are more important than the algorithm, usually because the facts are used as inputs to other algorithms.

Once you have this perspective on learning, it’s hard to avoid the inevitable conclusion : our math education is terrible. It forces cognitive behaviors that many people are unprepared for, it provides no support for the diversity in cognitive development, and in the end the tests are graded primarily based on whether you provide a fact correctly. The incentives are off. The scaffolding is off. The sequencing is off. The focus is off. Math education is a disaster.

But not because of calculators

Found on an Iranian Telegram:

"As for people betting “Trump” won’t use nuclear weapons - they still don’t get “Trump” isn’t in charge of anything.

This is an all-or-nothing bid by the US to maintain primacy over the planet before losing it permanently.

The unelected US corporate-financier establishment - pushing for wars since the inception of America as a nation - have ALREADY USED NUCLEAR WEAPONS - TWICE!!!

They considered using them on Korea, Vietnam, and even as recently as Afghanistan.

DO NOT let the US pin this solely on a single politician, or an administration or a US proxy. Make sure EVERYONE involved is blamed and held accountable.

This is called compartmentalization - dividing up your political fronts when dirty work is required so you can flush the consequences down with one or more of these fronts while keeping the political whole more or less intact.

The US literally does this every 4-8 years with presidents and scores of wars of aggression and other horrible foreign and domestic policies - and they will do it with this time as well.

It wasn’t “Clinton,” “Bush,” or “Obama’s” wars (although they are accomplices and equally guilty) - they are Wall Street and Washington wars - every single one of them - no matter who is picked to sell them and take the fall for them.

If you never expose and hold Wall Street and Washington as a whole accountable, they will continue their compartmentalization game forever without end."

At one level, I absolutely HATE the duplication that splits comments.

At another level, I recognize that splitting comments is most of the point of community. Making all people comment on all posts essentially breaks the entire concept of developing a community-specific culture of rules and norms.

In theory you could have each community “adopt” posts, creating community-owned discussions against universal posts. That would be OK. Then instead of cross-post duplication you could look at a single post and see all of the communities that have adopted discussion on it.

Maybe that’s the solution.

There is literally nothing logical nor structured about smearing meaning from cross-linguistic soundalikes. It’s fully arbitrary.

And language is a consensus reality. It can only be used to exchange meaning with others who consent to agree with the linguistic representations you use. That could be your current self and your future self in this case. But without consensus from others, your use of language will be ineffective, or worse, actively disorienting.

English is already anarchic, as there is no official language board that governs it (unlike German, for example). Anarchism relies on consensus for collaboration, and there are few things more collaborative than language.

OIC. TY

Where do I even begin? Sinister literally ONLY meant left (the direction) in Latin. It didn’t mean “wicked or sinful character”. It was used idiomatically to describe misfortune due to their divining tradition where things that fell on the right were good omens and things that fell on the left were bad omens. It took nearly 2000 years for it go from meaning directionally left to mean unlucky to meaning sinister and wicked.

Then, there is literally NO word linkage between liver and labor. None. At all. Just because they have similar sounds means absolutely nothing. Gay and Guy sound equally similar. Loop and lop sound equally similar. Motion and Ocean sound equally similar. None of these words are related. At all.

While labor transforms some input products into output products in some capitalist factory, the liver does the same in the human body. So there is a natural analogy there.

Yeah, so labor transforms inputs into outputs regardless of system of government. Primitive society? Labor transformed inputs into outputs. Slave society? Yup. Feudalism with a kings and aristocrats and peasants? Yup. Capitalism? Yup. Socialism? Yup.

Left and Right, as political terms ABSOLUTELY have their idiomatic root in pre-revolutionary France. That’s just the facts. That what it means. It’s inherently confusing because we’re using an idiomatic expression that worked in a specific period of time. If we want to illuminate the words, we shouldn’t be comparing how they sound in German and English, we should be analyzing history and it’s presence in the present.

The history is that the EXISTING power structure inhabited the right side of the hall and the EMERGING power structure inhabited the left side of the hall. That’s the SIMPLEST way to understand this. The hall was not inhabited by all possible political theories and permutations. It was inhabited by real people, in a real place, governed by a real power structure, and motivated by real movements.

Therefore, Left and Right are relative terms, not absolute terms. They will never be absolute terms with a philosophical commonality. They are contentless signifiers that refer only to a particular social context. The Left in 1700s France is the Right in 2020s America. The Left in 2020s Asia didn’t even exist in 1700s France, they hadn’t even begun formulating a coherent philosophy by then. And most importantly, the right in 1700s France doesn’t even exist in America. Interestingly the group that inhabited the right in 1700s France does still exist in many countries in Europe, but they are so marginalized that it’s inaccurate to define them as the right. These are the Conservatives, who believe in the Divine Right of Kings and wish to restore the monarchy to its fullest and to govern with an aristocratic class determined by the monarchy. These people exist, but there’s so few of them that they don’t take up an entire wing of an assembly hall. The philosophy remains, but the movement is powerless. Instead, the left of 1700s, the Liberals, ousted the Conservatives and over a couple centuries they took up the space that the Conservatives took up. In their place, a new Left emerged, the liberation movement of the Communists.

The Left is the emerging power structure, today that is Communism. The right is the existing power structure, today that is Liberalism.

Wow. Just wow. I am dumber for having read this. We are all dumber for having read this. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

AL?

Whoa, hold up! He’s dead, man. He’s already dead. Stop!

But what did voting for Democrats do? Carter didn’t address it. Clinton didn’t address it. Obama didn’t address it. Biden didn’t address it.

Corporate profits do better under these Ds than under the Rs. The military budget got bigger under these Ds, just like the Rs. Bush’s military cabinet planned a bunch of Middle East wars, including Libya, and then Obama/Clinton followed through on that war. The prison system has continued to be an asymmetrical war against black people, it’s still imprisoning a larger portion of our population than 99% of the countries in the world, including China and Russia, and when you include the constant surveillance of parole, the US criminal justice system is managing 3x as many people as any other nation the planet. Police forces continued to grow, continued to get military surplus, continued to develop as a paramilitary force, continued to train with the IDF. And then of course there’s the occupation of Palestine and the genocide of Palestinians. And the unilateral sanctions that kill between 0.8M and 1.2M people every year for the last 50 years.

You are correct that both sides are not the same. But voting for Ds has shown everyone that the US policies of mass death, mas incarceration, war, open war crimes, crimes against humanity, and corporate greed are bi-partisan.

How funny would it be if this was actually his account getting hacked by the Iranians and they posted it to make the entire administration shit their fucking pants that they’ve been hacked or have a mole or something and that every device the president touches is potentially compromised?

LOL. You wrote a literal call to action, I read it, I acted, and now you think you can just say “it was a rhetorical question” and that means I can’t read well? What you wrote wasn’t even a question!

But I apologize. I should not be so quick to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

You literally asked for a better combination. I provided it. Is your grasp on discourse really that tenuous?

name a better combo than communists and absolute disgust for human life.

Capitalists and absolute disgust for human life

That was easy

Show the place in the law that says that. My reading of the law is the Mandarin is now both required and required to be the primary language, but Tibetan is still taught and still protected and required for government functions. The reason for this is that Mandarin is the primary language for business and commerce. For young Tibetans and those in rural areas, the inability to speak, read, and write in Mandarin acts as a significant barrier to employment, particularly for higher-paying or administrative jobs. Requiring that all schools thoroughly educate children in Mandarin is NOT equivalent to outlawing instruction in their native tongue.

Try harder means do more work. What is communism?

Engels wrote:

Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat.

In this way, Communism is the theory and the practice of bringing about conditions of the liberation of the proletariat. In this way, all communism is successful in so far as it improves the conditions of proletariat against their oppressors and fails in so far as they stop doing that.

The USSR, therefore, was wildly successful and large scale. It ended serfdom entirely. It defeated the Nazis. It ended the centuries-long 4-7 year cycle of famine. It created the second-best-fed society in the world. And then it failed. It fell to revisionism, elevating a liberal class of would be property owners. It created the conditions for the oligarchs, and then it dismantled itself in favor of liberal capitalism and private enrichment.

China, therefore, is wildly successful and large scale. It has so far lifted 800 million people out of abject poverty. Grandmothers alive today in China saw their lives go from rice farming at a dollar a month to driving electric cars that respond to hand signals. They ended the centuries-long 2-4 year famine cycle. The ended the serf system. They have developed industrial capacity to such a degree that their massive country has a domestic purchasing power for its citizens equivalent to the greatest empire in the world, with far less inequality

Vietnam, therefore, is wildly successful. It fought against its colonizers (the French) and then successfully fought off the greatest military in the history of the world. Then it rebuilt its destroyed country and fed its people.

North Korea, therefore, is wildly successful. After the world’s most powerful military destroyed everything in their country, every single structure, poisoned their land, and made them all to live in caves to avoid the constant napalm strafing, they worked together and rebuilt everything by hand without any ability to trade with the rest of the world except an impoverished China and revisionist USSR. They not only developed a modern agricultural base, electrical grid, technology sector, urban density, education system, and healthcare system, they also developed a strong enough military to deter further attacks on their people by Western oppressors.

Cuba, therefore, is wildly successful. Despite 60 years of embargo, Cuba still has higher literacy, higher life expectancy, greater democratic participation, and stronger community support than the richest empire on the planet. Cuba developed healthcare for its citizens to such a degree that they have a surplus of doctors who can help other nations. They developed a COVID vaccine on the same timeline as the US did without having to spend $4B as an incentive. They invented a vaccine for lung cancer and they give of their life saving openly and freely to liberate their people and others from the oppression of the wealthy who demand profit for health. Americans can’t even get access to the lung cancer vaccine because of the embargo. Cuba ended the racial apartheid of the capitalist regime, liberating all people to participate in their own governance.

Perhaps you’ve got another definition for communism?
