@hatcat01 What would the "Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across." solution look like?

Been told I can speak openly about this. The last couple of months have been quite difficult on our team here in Ukraine.

Here's @BrandSanderson doing an incredible thing and going to bat for indie authors like me and my friends. We've lamented Audible's low royalties forever, but their market dominance meant we had little choice in it.
This is like the President of Fantasy taking our side.

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia ft.com/content/ef2654…
Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

@NeightFSU @BadAstronomer @DrJenGunter @cdavidnaylor This isn't the pharma industry. It's all of virology and epidemiology and then some. And even the pharma industry consists of individuals. You think ALL of those in the field are conspiring against humanity?!
That is literally insane.
English
@BadAstronomer @DrJenGunter @cdavidnaylor But can we 100% say any of this is untrue? We’re just minions tweeting from our toilet. There’s a high possibility that one of the richest men in the world knows information we don’t. Defending the pharma industry is a hell of a hill to die on when they’ve done so much damage

Hey @elonmusk tell me why this isn’t real-time doxxing? Fox News has a drone flying over people and reporting their exact location “right now.”
Is that why you’re saying wow? Because you’re stunned at the violation of your policy?

This is going a lot faster than expected. Oh well.

For those asking in good faith -
To get on a plane/Eurostar to the UK, people from most countries (from all poor countries & those that produce refugees, like Syria, Sudan, Iran, etc.) you need a visa. No visa, no getting on.
The UK govt does not issue visas to asylum seekers.

Story on #r4today about how misinformed the public is about refugees. A case in point, this dude in my mentions who, like many others, reckons they risk their lives in small dinghies in the Channel out of some perverse thrill-seeking when safe regular routes are available 🤦♀️

The period where people laughed about generative AI models producing silly things like hands with six fingers and impossible anatomy turned out to be surprisingly short. There were interesting parallels with how poor the “generative models” of almost all (non artist) humans are.

@gregcons Also this completely irrelevant waffle about tUrInG cOmPlEtE. Surprising that this comes from Simon Peyton Jones, who objectively knows his stuff.

@horenmar_ctu @lefticus Same. Clickbait *actively harms good content*. I hate that YouTube is forcing producers to use it (and I don't blame producers!), but as a consumer I vote the only way I can: with my feet/wallet.
English
@lefticus My position is "I hate clickbait and I am not supporting it on principle".
English
YouTube viewers: "Enough with the click bait!"
YouTube: your views, revenue and subscriber rate are up by 30%!

@patilindrajeets `ifelse(x, 1, 0)` is a false positive.
It's a perfectly valid, logical way of expressing this (and arguably even superior to `as.numeric(x)` because it describes the intended semantics rather than implicitly relying on an implementation detail).
English
@patilindrajeets Oh man. Starts out so well but then it also flags completely different, perfectly legitimate code.

@mdsumner @rstatstweet Not for compressed data, that first gets decompressed to a temporary file.
Generally, compressed files *fundamentally* don’t allow random access, unless they use chunked compression and you have a precomputed index of the chunk boundary offsets.
English
@mdsumner @rstatstweet They don't support efficient random access.

@CindyRo36569087 @AdamRutherford @JudyWeb92176381 @Humanists_UK Indeed, if you consider a nonsense proposition you can make up any statistic you want based on that.

@AdamRutherford @JudyWeb92176381 @Humanists_UK If one considers gender politics a religion (cult) then not so sure the stats would hold

The #Census2021 results are in and it’s official: England and Wales are among the least religious countries in the world. People with ‘no religion’ jumped by over 8 million, from 25% in 2011 to 37% in 2022. humanists.uk/2022/11/29/non…
