OK, it's really a mathematics equivalence, rather than a scientific fact, but Euler's Identity:

e^iπ^ + 1 = 0

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity

it shows a profound connection between the most fundamental numbers in mathematics.

Ha, ha, ha.

The shit hits the fan when identity needs to be tied to internet access.

Actually, who does keep the data that Joe Smith (birthday 4.4.2004, social insurance #677-63663-6663, currently residing at 24 Melgrath Court, Austin, Texas) accessed Pornhub on January 15, 2025 for three hours?

How is it possible that teenagers with lots of time on their hands won't find a way to bypass this censorship?

Is it not a possibility that people seeking a VPN to bypass this porn-wall will download a sketchy .EXE and compromise their whole system and give up their bank account details to some schmuck in China?

Who never thought this through (Ken Paxton)?

These disclosure rules are pretty much iron-clad. If Musk didn't disclose a 5% stake in Twitter for more than 10 days after the reporting period threshold, that's illegal. Again, it seems one law applies to the billionaires and another law applies to everyone else. If he gets out of jail free, like Trump did with the felony convictions, the US legal system will be the laughing stock of the free world and nobody will take US law seriously.

Here is a relatively short presentation: https://www.youtube.com/live/3us83qvzopM and the slides.

Disheveled hair. If you have long(ish) hair and you're going out in public, at least drag a comb through it so you don't look like a bed-head.

Oops. Added.

By the time Sergei had assembled a plywood board and a broom with a wooden handle, Dmitriy was turned into a human Melba Toast.

This is 100% a China and US problem - nowhere else in the world would these Wankpanzers be a status symbol. What's required is a re-education of the Nouveau Riche to make a better choice.

Yes, living well. Happy mostly. Embodying values and dreams - as much as possible since some dreams would have needed to be started years ago to be realized - like my vineyard and my orchard. Mostly it was reinventing myself every five or seven years to follow the lucre (in software development world look for the bright and shiny new thing).

I was self employed for most of the time, and I can recommend that for those who have a pretty good work ethic. Having a goal in high school was also a key factor, since it led to a useful degree. I was also doing constant internal evaluation - like the feeling where you're going over your desired job description for a job interview - via a journal or a self help program like "The Red Bucket Strategy". So, in answer to how did this happen question: it was pretty methodical in using the steering gear you have to make course corrections all the time.

There's this back story about the "LoongArch instruction system, a RISC ISA that blends ideas from MIPS and RISC-V". The article says it is MIPS-compatible and even runs the same Linux code [Loongson's] old MIPS-based CPUs did. Why not just use RISC-V? MIPS is licensed from the USA. I guess they have a lot of legacy people at Loongson.

A little saddened because I sold Bitcoin way too early. I wanted to get out, but if I had set the bar a little higher... Of course, if you had a crystal ball you could make a lot of money.

TL;DR; Three points:

• my selected communities seem to provide adequate interesting topics - there's always one or two rabbit holes to go down
• I have a voice - commenting here is transparent and not censored as much as Reddit
• I think the average age of contributors here is greater than the sex and shit joke fixated twelve year olds on Reddit which is a good thing
