The USA didn’t invent the concept of police or government.
The first police were appointed to investigate and punish minor crimes commited agains civilians.
Then why are most “uncivilized” societies have more egalitarian and non-violent than “civilized” ones?
Uncivilized societies engage in violence much more frequently than civilized societies.
That’s the case for individual/personal violence, and also for institutional/mass violence.
Civilized societies are better than uncivilized society in anything they do collectively, be it science, production, or murder.
Since civilized societies are so much better at murdering, the few cases where mass murder does happen are much more significant.
However, such cases remain an exception, as opposed to what is the case for uncivilized societies.
Uncivilized societies may be harmless, but they are certainly not peaceful.
Civilized societies are more powerful, but they yield their power much more carefully.
When I went to college the dot was used for the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors while the cross was used for the cross product (vector product) of two vectors.
Since in this case numbers (read: one-dimensional vectors) are multiplied, the dot product is used, which should be denoted by a dot.
(But really, if I were to write a formula in Latex I would just use the * symbol, too.)
A class of 200 students performing much worse than the last class is very unlikely. 200 Students is enough to make even small differences statistically significant.
A single test being much harder than the last test is much more likely, since it isn’t an averahe of 200, it’s a single datapoint.
That’s why if this semester’s class performed much worse than last semester’s, you can assume it’s because of the test, not the students.
Well the options aren’t just capitalism and socialism. There’s also worse capitalism. So a normal capitalist system that protects itself does not just prevent socialism, it also prevents worse capitalism.
An example of a system that turned to worse capitalism is Nazi Germany. That’s why today, Germany prevents system change, so as to not again change from normal capitalism to worse capitalism.

I was working with Argon2 hashes, so it was the first thing to come to mind.
whatever you need to justify killing a pig
I don’t need any justification for that lol. I wouldn’t care if people ate dogs either.
I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don’t eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).
Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don’t eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.
The only odd one out are horeses, who we don’t eat in spite of them not being carnivores.
Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I’m just lucky.
If being ready means “runs Windows applications” to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.
Like, what a metric lol
Next you’re gonna tell me MacOS isn’t ready either, because you can’t play many Windows games on it as well
Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.
Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.
Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.
love the :3
And then they would have removed them later. Just like all the statues of Adolf Hitler, which no longer exist.
We only learn about the ones with defects, because they are the most interesting. Most people in history were fine.
One historic figure who had no known defects: Alan Turing
argon@lemmy.todayto Memes@lemmy.ml•Republicans are evil but Democrats are only less evil114·2 months agoIf left wing policies were truly more popular, why didn’t the Democrats win? The voters didn’t get Bernie, so if you can’t get your ideal option, you instead take the worse of the two remaining ones? Even if voters were only voting for damage reduction, they’d still vote Democrat in that case.
But the Democrats didn’t win. The voters don’t want damage reduction. The voters want damage.
The third image is noted to have a higher length (235mm) than the first image (233mm), however in the picture it’s clearly shorter.
Do I misunderstand the meaning of the numbers?
