Somebody would have to drive the buses and wait the tables. You're making it appear as if immigrants appeared out of thin air to occupy a social position. But the receiving country needs them, because their population is too old, too lazy, too greedy, or all three.

It's very useful to have a disenfranchised underclass of immigrants to keep your own working class in check. Bonus points if you convince the latter that the source of all evil is the former.

101 capitalism, and it has worked with you.

The entire USB-C situation with the Frameworks (I have both the original gen 11 and the AMD 7040) is a massive train wreck. They have clearly given up on fixing it. Only some of my ports work, and not reliably. Th EC controller is a bug fest. If you don't believe me, check their forums. I wish I could get back all the hours I spent debugging this, to no avail.

Switzerland lets 45km/h bicycles on bike lanes. The requirements are higher, but boy, do they dart through the city. They seem to make long commutes (or fast shorter ones) appealing to a lot of people.

Maybe through https://texmacs.org? It supports handing over beautifully typeset and semantically-structured math to various CAS

Comparing at similar thinking hasn't much value. You can compare the tiers that have the closest price, that would be more interesting.

"To preserve them digitally"

For whom? is the relevant question

Don't be so self-centered. Supporting the IRGC to give Trump a presidency-ending war is the rational approach for non-US citizens. Iran has been so far a much more contained risk for them than the US.

Here, have a look for what a terrorist country looks like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_interventions_by_the_U...

Why not defend it? You provide logistical support to US war of aggression, you become a legitimate target? What is this whitewashing of military involvement? (Both for Amazon and Bahrain)

Survival! Wrong thing! Stay away! Sell cars, that's what you've got to do, at any price.

US base in a country that allows its use = country is participating in the aggression = legitimate target

Not in my experience, nobody complained of that during my studies. 74 exams over 5 years ca. 2h long, also 2h long lectures, often without pause, back-to-back with another such lecture (but max 2 in a row)

Reminder that it's 2026 and batch-mode typesetting seems an oddly low bar for what we can get from a computer.

Tree-structured documents in a live (WYSIWYG) typesetter with a programmable editor are possible, as is demonstrated by https://texmacs.org (https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/videos.en.html if you don't have it installed).

I agree about bike lanes in Geneva, they should take the space away from cars. Their success is so phenomenal, that they are carrying more passengers/h in some sections than the much wider street they flank.

I wish an ambitious approach such as Project Mage had taken off - https://project-mage.org/

It makes me sad that some-mthfka got some but perhaps not enough support and the effort stalled after a few months.

For the price of all this righteousness you could have provided a reference. Some reference. So that curious bystanders like me can learn from the exchange.
