Oh yeah true! Proton-rich but neutral

Probably not a lot of open positions (well, not of the sort they’re looking for, at any rate) in the bedroom though

They’ll be great at understanding the domain though
Oh I wouldn’t bet on that

I dunno, I feel like I’m way more inclined to reach for the whisky in this technofascist dystopian hell-prison than I’d be if my entire life was grazing through the bush.

You’re looking for the fission restaurant. They’re in that barn over there; just make sure you walk in to the barn instead of running past it

I’d assume it’s easier for people to get their keyboards to cough up a couple of carets compared to Unicode superscript characters, though

Are you positive?

You have to surround the 2 with
^s:R^2^ = 0.11R^2^ = 0.11
Note that this’ll bork if you put spaces between the carets:
^2 2^gives you ^2 2^ - Comment on What's your favourite kind of restaurant? 2 weeks ago:
And who says scientists are humourless?!
When the gnocchi phase is compressed, as would be expected in deeper layers of the crust, the electric repulsion of the protons in the gnocchi is not fully sufficient to support the existence of the individual spheres, and they are crushed into long rods, which, depending on their length, can contain many thousands of nucleons. These rods are known as the spaghetti phase. Further compression causes the spaghetti phase rods to fuse and form sheets of nuclear matter called the lasagna phase. Further compression of the lasagna phase yields the uniform nuclear matter of the outer core. Progressing deeper into the inner crust, the holes in the nuclear pasta change from being cylindrical, called by some the bucatini phase or antispaghetti phase, into scattered spherical holes, which can be called the Swiss cheese phase.

Zero-knowledge proofs can be done without requiring us to trust anyone. That is what I have been saying, but it keeps seeming to be skipped over.
I wasn’t ignoring your had-wavy “ZK proofs will solve this”; I’m saying that you still have to trust the fact that whatever magical ZK system you have has been implemented correctly and doesn’t leak any information at any point (either on purpose or accidentally).
Unless you’re one of the ~hundreds of people who actually understand the mathematics behind ZK proofs, you won’t be able to do that, and you’ll just have to trust whoever’s in charge of the system when they say “trust me it works” – especially if it’s not 100% open source. Even if it was open source, you’d still have to trust the fact that what was deployed is actually what was published.

We stopped selling alcohol and cigarettes unless you dox yourself to shady gas stations and stores.
Both of which famously keep databases of everyone’s IDs, and require transmitting your ID over who-knows-what network to who-knows-where.
Oh, wait, no they don’t.
Again, if done correctly, it can be done privately and securely. I am not advocating that we give our ID to every sketchy internet site. I am advocating for a widespread secure and standardized solution.
Right, and such a solution will ultimately just require everyone to trust the fact that it’s been “done privately and securely”

There’s no guarantee that an evolutionary search process will lead to a globally optimal solution. It’s the same thing with evolutionary algorithms in computing

@javiwhite@feddit.uk had it right, and also it’s specifically a derogatory term; the Oxford English Dictionary gives the definition “US English derogatory a contemptuous term for a white person, especially an impoverished white person living in the southern US. Also called poor white”

I had to check, and it looks like at least as far as plastic goes, in Finland it’s either sent to two domestic recycling plants, and everything they can’t handle is shipped to Sweden’s Site Zero in Motala (dunno where they go from there.)
But yeah, something like using shredded plastic for road surfacing definitely isn’t what I’d call a sensible way to recycle the material. It’s just adding an extra step before getting to “microplastic endocrine disruptors EVERYWHERE”
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 months ago:
the recycling system is broken and often just a complete lie in many places in the world.
In many places in the world, or mainly the US? I keep seeing this claim repeated but usually any proof is just about the US

Fun English facts: “apron” used to be “napron”, but “a napron” was eventually incorrectly split into “an apron”. Same with “adder” which used to be “naddre”, and “umpire” which was “noumpere”
