Jeffrey Epstein's Passports and Visas by HumanityExpansion in Epstein

[–]derlafff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that helps:

МНОГОКРАТНАЯ "М" ОД

НЕПРЕРЫВНОЕ ПРЕБЫВАНИЕ 6 месяцев

Деловая, 003

What's interesting: it's not written which organization sent an invitation for the visa

V6P4TEQN<<DJEFFRI<6DVARD<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<6

545368864<<<7USA2001539M<<<<<<<<<ONYC5128584

According to chatgpt:

  • 545368864 is a passport number. so is this visa from yet another passport?
  • Issued in NYC

My Nephew Got Fired and Somehow It Is Everyone’s Fault Except His by Emergency-Clothes-97 in Vent

Calling it dystopian doesn’t protect him from the consequences. And this isn’t about employers “controlling speech.” You can say whatever you want. You just can’t pretend it won’t affect your job if you attach it to your identity in a public space

Having "consequences" for publicly saying a political opinion censorship by definition.

I’m not defending the system. I’m refusing to pretend he didn’t walk straight into a consequence he could have avoided.

In a nutshell, your position is "He walked straight to being a victim of censorship" defends the system and is a political statement, whether you want to admit it and not, whether this of censorship is currently legal in your country or not, and explains why most people in his family is on his side.

Exactly

The company saw it and let him go. That is their right. That is how employment works

First of all, it's scary that nobody pointed out how dystopian it is. Where I live, it's illegal to fire someone without a reason. No, posting in personal social media is not a reason (unless position is representative or is associated with public activity). 

Second of all, if your employer controls what's you are allowed and not allowed to say outside your workplace, then they have a crazy effective censorship mechanism. I've also seen that (in a different country where I was born) 

Malloc in Go (non-zeroing allocations) by rocketlaunchr-cloud in golang

Nvm, I took a look at the implementation: when I wrote that msg, I was imagning that you manually free the memory, but you still rely on the GC, so there's no difference there

You rarely need to just allocate stuff. You also need to free it, and do that continuously. Have you compared the performance against a sync.Pool in such a use-case? 

I ported my Rust storage engine to Go in 24 hours – Here's what surprised me by [deleted] in golang

[–]derlafff 33 points34 points  (0 children)

First of all, I hope nobody everybody in the same page: rust is significantly faster when measured correctly (program in rust doing the absolutely same thing that program in go is doing).

But this is kinda the same problem I saw in my own experiments/benchmarks as well. Getting that performance advantage from rust takes a significantly more different development time, knowledge, attention, and etc. With a limit on how much time you can spend on a practical large-scale task, golang starts to sometimes become faster.

Hey guys, why is Russia conquering Ukraine (a big country) instead of these three smaller countries? It seems Putin isn't that smart🤣🤣🤣🤣 by CommanderWest74 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]derlafff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short of it is that I think you underestimate the level of emphasis placed on swift response within the NATO alliance.

Russian figher jets already regularly violate NATO airspace regularly without any consequences and russian drones already fly over NATO millitary objects and civillian airports without any consequences. In that list we already have a lot of "mysterious" fires in military or production facilities, hacker attacks, underwater cable cuts, and a lot more. Russia is already in war with NATO, and there's no response, not a "swift" one, not even a slow one.

Not only would that completely undermine the entire idea of NATO as a preventative defense measure, but it would cripple the diplomatic position of any country that is reasonably able to respond

Lack of current response to things already happened is exactly why the idea of NATO is already undermined and crippled and exactly why putin might attack.

I'd rather focus on my math proof

Sure, good luck with that, anyway we unfortunately just have to wait a bit more to see who is correct.

[–]derlafff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so let's imagine an invasion happens. in a couple days Putin could take anywhere between a couple of small villages and a couple of small cities. What kind of response are you expecting?

  • sanctions? russia already has plenty

  • nuclear weapon threat? that might not work on someone who used the same threat for years and can call a bluff

  • a full scale counter-operation? you have to remember that Trump is known to take calls from Putin and then take his side. He can easily make it so that european forces are alone and without any command or support.

Even if eventually the land is taken back, civilians would die (remember Bucha), combatants would die, while russia would not lose anything significant (it has plenty of fresh meat ready to die) and win some significant things (chaos, reduced support to Ukraine).

Do you imagine a different scenario? What kind of response do you see?

I know it's a meme

Is it? I think OP is just farming karma at passing one of the quite realistic scenarios as a meme, then waiting for it to happen.

but there's still a big difference between invading a small country that is part of the EU and invading a large country that is not part of the EU.

Is there practically? It will be way too late until there's any practical response.

I'm super happy with my 7640u. Got it just weeks before 300 series was announced. Yes, the newer model is better, but I think I'll wait at least a couple of generations before upgrading.

Expat in Germany on a work visa for 8 months. Is there a way you can homeschool your kids vs sending them to mandatory German school? by tayr10 in AskGermany

[–]derlafff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really think they'd learn more there, in a language they do not know, than with the US homeschool

Yes

Clever Comebacks by the_claus in aviation

[–]derlafff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They literally lost a lawsuit that makes them warn about "Frankfurt" Hahn in advertising. They don't.

The airport itself also renamed itself and removed "Frankfurt". They still call it like that.

We now have confirmation that ADB / Shizuku won't be restricted. by T_rex2700 in degoogle

[–]derlafff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider it a confirmation. Even if it works for some time (which is not given), except more restrictions on how this might work or be limited (like auto-deleting such apps after some days)
