The ones quitting aren't the most effective. They can get replaced with a yesman. But there are people who right now just casually trashed a bunch of paperwork that came to their desk, or purposefully sat on an order and made no decision for 3 months, because they don't want to disobey the court

As a Dutch person this seems terrifying

Theo Bovens is not the leader of the CDA, but the leader of the CDA House Membership Group. The leader of the party is Henri Bontenbal, but he is busy with coalition talks to form a new government after recent elections

The people who ask these questions do not get invited for the next conference Musk gives, I wager

Data centers are also usually put somewhere close to where the data is used, to make that communication easier. But this datacenter will have a tiny thing blocking communications sometimes... the entire Earth. Unless you put it in geostationary orbit, in which case it has lightspeed delays

Personally at my own studies the past few years, the environments where you see the most men wearing femme clothes are also the places you saw the most women wearing 'traditional' womens clothes. AKA long skirts or dresses. It's clubs related to cultural things such as dancing, theater or sewing.

The actual question is "How many sell and ship *through* that city". Sure, you might be selling to some company halfway across the world. But it'll go there by a bulk freighter, which gets filled up at a port, and that port is in a city.

Or perhaps population just increases to match. The magic gives 5 times the harvest yield, so every small hamlet can be 5 times as large with reasonable walking distances to the farthest fields, which is good since it means 5 times as many spears against the local Dire Wolf threat

The pilot is about him getting called out to a remote valley because a dispute is disrupting local trade. The inhabitants still think the Soviets are occupying Afghanistan, with one pro-Soviet and one pro-Muj. When brought up to date, they draw lots for which side to be on and go back to feuding.

When the historians of centuries future assess 'American civilization,' and I think what I would want them to remember about us - a man on the moon, the internet, the defeat of the confederacy, Norman Borlaug, Norman Borlaug a second time for emphasis.

And we beat the Nazis into the ground.

All of which is to say, the folks longing for the return of old birth-hierarchies are both morally damaged - slavery and the society it sustained were bad - but also grown-ass adults basically running into the public square shouting, "I want to be a pretty pink prince/princess!"

Sure you do.

I had to completely redo simulations I did for my bachelor end project, because it turned out the way I measured runtime was in fact a great measure of "was the student gaming during this particular simulation or not", rather than of my objective

That's why at least in my studies we started with reproducing things and doing simple things, then designing experiments around relatively known phenomenons where a teacher could see the flaws, and only then we went to more original research.

This is exactly how it went the past decade in the Netherlands. The prime minister would always have a certain insulation and innocence and "not know" about things, and blame ministers or subordinates who get replaced. Now he is leading NATO after a decade of ruling

That was my immediate thought too

Sure Alan Turing may have been instrumental in winning a war against fascism but his real accomplishment was creating a national security justification for governments to shovel money into basic mathematics research

As a Dutchie, the entire situation sounds like a shitshow. You shouldn't have any situation where bikes and cars share a road that needs a traffic light, without there being a separate bike lane or path
