If they don’t maybe a browser extension?

Eventually, the generator and the discriminator begin to agree more as they settle into something called Nash equilibrium. This is arguably the central concept in game theory. It represents a kind of balance in a game—the point at which no players can better their personal outcomes by shifting strategies. In rock-paper-scissors, for example, players do best when they choose each of the three options exactly one-third of the time, and they will invariably do worse with any other tactic.

This last sentence is completely wrong, yeah?

heh

I’m pretty sure you have to enroll yourself but are legally required to do so (but it’s been a while since I turned 18)

To be honest I don’t think this is a very good metric. It’s a combination of something good (number of people insured) and something bad (debt per insured person).

As an example, if you increased the number of people with insurance, and reduced the debt per uninsured person, you’d expect this to happen.

Not to say that things have actually gotten better, just that we should use more meaningful metrics.

28, but 32 is also good

I was thinking Electronic Frontier Foundation and was really confused.

“inconvenient” is my biggest problem with it. Just use a single format for every work and add some html classes so I can scrape it easier.

It’s not. Works by various authors have different html formatting that make it very difficult to consistently scrape. Splitting works into several pages makes it impossible to send them to pocket (or FOSS equivalents). It sucks for anything other than reading in their website.

The unpleasant reality is, Russians, like the Chinese, have never, in all their long history, existed without authoritarian rule. Their people are culturally inured to it. They actively seek it. They’re broken, as a society, and only dissolving their society will cure them.

The libs are not ok.

At that point it’s not a re-education camp, it’s just an education camp.

I checked her Wikipedia, looks like she’s an Australian (blurb in China but eventually revoked her citizenship) journalist who reported on Xinjiang in early 2020. It cited this WaPo article, which has a couple bits I thought were pretty important:

“As someone who analyzes propaganda activities for a job I can see it’s clearly a coordinated attack,” she said. “At this point, the Chinese government has made it abundantly clear that if you want to keep talking about Xinjiang, the Chinese state would not treat you nicely.”

The online onslaught against Xu, named in countless headlines as the unexpected “black hand” behind the West’s anti-China campaign, has continued with tacit if not outright support from Chinese state media.

Not relevant but worth a laugh:

Jo Smith Finley, who researches Uyghur identity at Newcastle University in Britain, said the sanctions mean she cannot stay in touch with contacts in China, where she has been traveling for more than three decades.

“My friends in Beijing are some of my oldest and dearest soul mates,” she said, describing adrenaline-filled days after the suppression of pro-democracy protests in Beijing in 1989.

“The thought of no longer being able to sit in Beijing cafes and restaurants with them and set the world to rights is just unthinkable, surreal,” she said.

Someone needs to sit them down and tell them, guys, your delusions of racial and cultural superiority are literally getting you killed.

No it’s getting Ukrainian soldiers killed. Journalists, politicians and military leaders are safe.

Do you think this is the type of idiot who doesn’t realize this includes Obama and Biden or the type of idiot who actually thinks they’re tankies?

I picked this up, might go with Mao’s China and After for now but definitely looks like it’s worth reading. Thanks comrade!

Say the line, Parenti.
