Yes, I do associate communism with anti-capitalism.

I consider it to be only a subset of anti-capitalism though, making up a portion but not all of it.

I guess what I intended to say was: The criticism of OP can be applied to every country on the globe, regardless of whether they consider themselves capitalist or not.

The comment made me look up which nations banned asbestos and also which didn't.

Obviously the US hasn't - what a surprise - unlike the majority of developed nations who have outlawed it.

Then I was curious about whether former "communist" countries banned asbestos. After all, capitalist businesses - mentioned in the comment - didn't quite exist in those, everything was state-owned. The entire profit motive was gone.

And with the exception of individual products containing asbestos, such as sprayed asbestos being banned in the GDR a century before its capitalist counterpart, none of them implemented a general ban. From quick research, the first general bans started appearing in the early 90s.

Since these nations regularly tout(ed) themselves as being far more "progressive" than capitalistic one's I felt it necessary to highlight this discrepancy.

So that's roughly the reason I made the original comment. Although looking back it seems tangentially related to the original at best.

Reread my comment. Nowhere did I mention communism but rather countries claiming to be so. I would argue they aren't communist at all, only state capitalist but that's a tiring discussion to have.

It was not in defence of capitalism but rather to ammend the criticism to include countries pretending to be not capitalist.

I can see how my one-sentence-wording fails to get this point across though and looks like your average "bUt cOmmUniSM bAd" comment whenever capitalism is mentioned.

Calculus is so easy, I scored a whopping 11/27 points in the final exam.

still passed though

No country claiming to be communist has banned asbestos btw

Not just suspense 😌🔪️

You absolutely do not real CSAM in the dataset for an AI to detect it.

It's pretty genius actually: just like you can make the AI create an image with prompts, you can get prompts from an existing image.

An AI detecting CSAM would have to be trained on nudity and on children separately. If an image-to-prompts conversion results in "children" AND "nudity", it is very likely the image was of a naked child.

This has a high false positive rate, because non-sexual nude images of children, which quite a few parents have (like images of their child bathing) would be flagged by this AI. However, the false negative rate is incredibly low.

It therefore suffices for an upload filter for social media but not for reporting to law enforcement.

Good luck, there are 4.3 births / second according to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Try not being banned, will you?

The average speed of bicycles is roughly 20 km/h:

The average travelling speed in Copenhagen is 15.5 km/h for cyclists and 27 km/hour for cars. In places with green wave for cyclist the average speed is 20.72 km/h.

Well, there's only finitely many atoms in the universe, do all algorithms therefore have constant time?

Although you could argue for very large amounts of clothes my method of throwing clothes on the floor starts performing worse due to clothes falling on the same spot and piling up again.

Unless you extend your room. Let's take a look at the ✨amortized✨time complexity.

thanks, I hate it

Tbh the article you linked has one rather stupid take:

Even a quick glance at the weight research shows that, despite decades of trying, there is no evidence that efforts to prevent or reverse “obesity” are successful.

There haven't quite been any real efforts for decades, especially not in the USA. Banning ads for sweets and implementing a sugar tax should be very effective at reducing sugar intake, linked to obesity and those policies only started being implemented in recent years.

It's incredibly difficult to come by any research about those efforts because there's a multi-billion dollar lobby of advertisers and food manufacturers strongly opposed to this and any other policy attempting to reduce consumption.

Ex-fucking-cuse me? Do you think you're being funny right now?

Butchering the gender of Panzer like this, I cannot believe it. You just neutered an innocent male noun. Are you proud of yourself?

I know I'm completely butchering the color palette here, but I've finally realized what I felt was missing from the new logo. In the previous iterations, the head was always turned in such a way that you couldn't see the eyes. Now the head is at an angle where you should see the right eye. But you don't, the head is completely empty.

Here's an """"improvement"""" making the logo a bit more friendly I think:

If you have separate bank accounts you are likely to have several thousands on one account. You can restrict the maximum amount you can withdraw in a day without visiting the bank personally. It would take a week or so to withdraw all the money and send it to your violent spouse.

The only way this would work is if you couldn't leave the house or call anyone - after all, you'd still have a large chunk of your money left. And if your spouse doesn't allow you to leave after becoming violent, what's to stop them from doing this if your stash was secret?

Also you can tell the bank the transaction was fraudulent and you'll likely get your money back.

Thay depends on the size of the pile, there could be a lot of weight and instability above the pants and you'll have to pull them out à la Jenga or carefully rearrange the stack.

Since the amount of rearranging increases for larger n (imagine a pile reaching the ceiling), searching is in ω(1).

Ok, I didn't understand roughly half of your comment because I don't actually know how cache works in practice

BUT

a messy pile of clothes represents a stack, doesn't it? And a stack makes a horrible cache because unlike a simple array you don't have fast random access. You'd have to dig through the entire pile of clothes to get to the bottom which takes a lot of time.
