Happy [object Object] birthday!

0 * 1.25 = 0, so why not?

“You don’t need to follow anybody! You are all individuals! You are all different!”

In simplified terms, LDP is the center. Its policies span center-right and center-left. It’s basically “the government” since WW2 and swings between left and right depending on the specific PM and their faction.

In theory, methods like nightshades are supposed to poison the work such that AI systems trained on them will have their performance degraded significantly.

Encouraging. However, there seems to be a question missing in the discussion: why aren’t more people taking the reduced hour offerings?

According to the report itself, after the first stage of trial, 86% of the working population started to negotiate for reduced hours, of the people surveyed, 51% were offered reduced hours and only 14% took them. It’s an unprecedented large proportion, but still less than one would expect given the benefits. There are other factors preventing people to do so. I hope there will be a follow-up research to find out why.

So the endorsement ban publicized their stance even more widely. I don’t even know whom any other newspaper endorsed.

A rare shot showing sandworms forming a pattern known as OwO.

Linux Foundation (of which Linus is an employee) is an US entity. RISC-V International foresaw this and chose to incorporate in Switzerland.

That’s more like his opinion or a post facto justification. Turns out it is a US thing.

If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

So to get back, you have to basically prove that you have no relations with OFAC SDN companies.

Fuck this guy, but getting Trump elected will definitely help him.

Spell out numbers under 10, but not when it’s divisible by three or five.

This is a triumph. I’m making a note here, “HUGE SUCCESS”.

Did they test it on alligators or really hungry alligators?

Bullshit Jobs get bullshit treatment.

J Moore, the Moore in the wildly used Boyer-Moore string search algorithm, has a first name of a single letter, J. It’s not an abbreviation.

It really is like that. I found a report on People.cn from 2015. I guess it’s just the impact range is expanding. Personally I only heard of people experiencing this post-covid.

For people not in public sectors, application for passports are okay-ish.

For others, I can only speculate. Most of the public sector workers already have passports from years ago. I don’t know if they have any kind of restrictions on new applications. To me, the Immigration Administration of the Ministry of Public Safety (who issues passports) feels more like a “routine” type of branch of the central government, but I could be wrong.
