mommie, daddie, i just got my watch please don't fight ... :*(


many non-slavery parliamentary societies have bicameral legislature, why do you think that is considering they never considered counting their slaves...?


Not a historian, but some possibilities:

- some governments were explicitly modeled on the US system

- others were influenced by the US system as they moved from e.g. monarchies

- most countries have some sort of caste system that established interests want to preserve


Bicameralism appeared very, very early on. There’s a well known case of a missing pig in 1642’s Boston (with a population of less than 2000 at the time) that finally solidified splitting the assembly into two chambers, and that debate has been going on for a while at the time already https://www.americanantiquarian.org/sites/default/files/proc...


Non-proportionately? For example the Netherlands has a senate but the weight of senators per province is set by population. They don't let Saba have equal powers with Utrecht, which is exactly what the American system does. Other Anglosphere countries — all of which have exceptionally bad forms of government due to the legacy of England and the early influence of the United States Constitution — have upper houses that do not have America's weird geographic correspondece.


There is a particular sort of partisan who loathes any process, procedure, or rule that acts as an impediment to his agenda. Never mind that, quite often, these same processes, procedures, and rules often act as impediments to his opponents when they are (temporarily) in the majority, he sees his faction as ascendant forever because the universe is designed to promote his peculiar idea of progress and thus there is no longer any need for those hurdles and obstacles. In hushed whispers he might even confess he thinks there never was a need, that those were put in place by his enemies to thwart his righteous cause.


you would go to where trustworthy people are selling it. you would have your friend try it first if purchased from random street dealer. i think many of these get confused in the street, like how would you know it is true lsd and not some other research chemical?

in america there are pockets of psychadelic support that would provide clean sources, you'd maybe network with them through campus norml groups, or that cool chemistry TA. these people have zero incentive to sell you something different or contaminate it with anything (more work).

when it is dosed correctly, you can take a small dose of lsd and see if it is the effect you recognize or something else. definitely just do some homework to make sure that it can be trusted.


"news"

ahahaaha you people just found out about this?!>?!


who is waiting? amd and apple were part of opencl consortium. cuda simply ran away with the prize. amd needs to match nvidia on software spend. that is/was the difference.


> amd needs to

It's right there. You're whole mentality is about how one company will fix a problem that they cannot inherently have the expertise to fix. Nvidia fixed that the slow way, building a consortium of partners. This is the mindset of dependents waiting for the world to drop benefits on them. If 7k companies stand to make trillions of dollars, which I hope they do with this level of capex, it makes zero sense to pretend AMD can or should do all the work or can do it as fast or as well. I'm building a new model and you're arguing for what the old model should do.


radeon historically gimped the double precision less badly than nvidia, one might say radeons were more suited for scientific compute. actual scientific compute that cares about numbers and precision.

idk about bad bets, they were just slow to release rdna for desktop when they had it already for consoles. there wasn't conflict between cdna and rdna, cdna was product for their data center. they slow-walked rdna chips because they were busy selling them to consoles. and they never invested in software like nvidia did. they wanted outside people to make openCL work when nvidia was directly investing.

these kind of amateur takes are like a poor distillation of whatever you read in the hardware news. sorda muddying the waters a bit with your confusion.


almost like ... journalistic integrity and ... maybe less monopoly ... are good things


tesla's cars literally just got remodeled what on earth do you mean bz4? toyota? yes they made their terrible impractical car actually practical in its latest form.

the teslas are newish, with new parts and better sound suppression. they also improve marginally in efficiency every year. so the 2023 will have slightly better mechanicals than the 2021 etc.

not too different ... they are very different. much improved. go read a review comparing them.

how much different is today's durango from last year's or here lemme remind you durango hasn't been updated in 15 (count them!) FIFTEEN years. other zombie gas models are out there too.


wow 800 comments about an immature ev market complaining of depreciation values.

if more of the electorate knew they could use these ev batteries in second life applications to power their homes businesses or otherwise be recycled into functional power providing devices, perhaps the percieved value wouldn't be so low. but right now everyone is convinced that the batteries are expiring at a fast rate when in reality they maintain usability into the 100s of k-miles.

but again, this article is about india, which is about 10 years behind the west in electrifying anything. so ... why are we asking the new kids on the block about depreciation?

why don't you ask the norwegians (95% ev this year) about depreciation? their market is much more mature with many more advanced consumers that can appraise the depreciated batteries much better. but you don't ask them because you want to muck-rake EV.

don't go to the premier ev market for this information go to the most under-developed one.

why don't you go ask south africans what they think about depreciating batteries?

ugh. 400 points for this drivel. you people are literally inane.


and when will you support real tennis?


Not sure how many people are playing real tennis these days. But for most older established sports there are existing communities and apps that service them which make it hard to penetrate. Whether it's tennis or real tennis, even with badminton I have a hard time convincing groups to use it. The software is provided as-is so if people use it then that's fine, but otherwise I'd mainly target the ones I actively organize around so that there is actual usage. There's also not much in it specific to any single sport so supporting real tennis, however obscure it is, is basically free from the software side.
