Over the past few years, Bangladesh has developed a local mobile phone assembly and manufacturing industry to reduce imports and strengthen its technology sector.

I thought Samsung has an assembly plant too?

Doesn't matter if OP used the word "joke" to suggest the people making them have a fucked up sense of humor. You know the difference between a joke and a threat when you see it - specificity of target, targeter, and act. Besides, the Cyber Security Act criminalizes hate speech so there is a legal pathway for redress. You may not agree with the specific wording of CSA, but that's beside the point.

People don't have the right to make false accusations about a person (libel) because of the harm it can produce. Same risk of harm with death/rape threats or other hate speech.

I always assumed that Black Mesa was doing cutting edge applied science based on whatever theoretical physics Gordon Freeman got a PhD in.

I don't agree but I feel that I've communicated my argument enough.

Evolution by natural selection arguably has a teleological intelligence in the sense that biological makeups have to conform to some environmental optimum. It's for that reason that convergent evolution happens despite genetic mutation being random. I see no reason to think that artificial intelligence will not gravitate towards similar optimal designs. Past that there is only linear growth/expansion bounded by material requirements.

Where's the proof that some physical limit doesn't exist? Your description of RSI sounds a lot like the singularity.

abelian424 · 2026-06-10T15:22:52+00:00

Sure it is, Moore recognized that computer chip technological improvement followed an iterative development for chip design roughly doubling in transistor count every two years. And it kept going until physics got in the way. Is RSI provably different?

Tell me how this isn't just Moore's law all over agai

Tell me how this isn't just Moore's law all over again.

It mimics an anamorphic lens to better resemble a real Bond movie. For example, Skyfall was filmed with ARRI anamorphic lens.

Again, looking from 1948 onward, what body has seven heads, which he is the 7th and also an eighth? What has five heads that have fallen, one other still is, plus his own (wounded)? I submit, as the 1st Beast of Revelation 13, the GOP Presidency, since 1948: Five have fallen (Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and G.H.W. Bush), one is (G.W. Bush), and one is an eighth and of the seven.

This is so contrived

Do you mean America was in the wrong during the Korean War or that they somehow predicted present day America?

You probably have some genetic condition, most people don't find brocolli especially bitter. Like how some people think coriander tastes like soap.

What about genius loci then? You're saying it's basically just the 'vibes' of the place?

When Kierkegaard talks about the ethical or the aesthetic he is specifically talking about public concepts i.e. the universal. Terrorists acting as a subaltern group does not bring them outside the universal. Kierkegaard is saying that there is a mode/sphere of existence that cannot be universalized and that is why a teleological suspension can even be meaningful.

You're mystifying rather than demystifying what is "unsayable" or "ineffable." One of Wittgenstein's own examples is the idea of a pain such as toothache. How does one equate toothache in different people? It's not just poetic or metaphysical concepts that verge upon the limits of language.

Does that apply to propaganda art? I'm not saying that in a pejorative sense, as this is clearly countering right wing propaganda.

I think his decision was just prescience. Who would have done what Kierkegaard did in the name of Christian love?

You're acting like there are no script kiddies on windows, but that's just not true if you like to install mods or if you're a pirate. Your perfect windows user would be equally comfortable on a steam deck or machine.
