In the US we call it an amuse bouche.

Supercomputers being delivered around Apollo's first moon landing could do ~10 million numerical operations per second. IBM and CDC were the big players, and they each sold ~ 100 units globally. So all of Earth's supercomputers could manage maybe 2 billion ops/s. IPhone 17 exceeds 2 trillion ops/s.

Well, that is when the Deep State started existing.

Worst guy ever.

They pick someone who isn’t planning to run again to take one for the team.

Well yeah, that would be silly.

But also there are things happening that are truly unusual that will have large long-term effects. If your model is missing them, or categorizing them as “changes in grant eligibility,” “administrative reorganization” and “trade negotiations” then it isn’t working.

The barristas are Counter Intelligence

I wonder if you could frame the questions in an objective “black and white” way that would delineate things we obviously know to be categorically different, though.

I don’t the cuts we have seen are qualitatively similar to a normal administrative reorganizations though.

15 people push a partially constructed planted floating island into a lake.

We had a good time planting and installing several floating wetlands islands at FIU Biscayne Campus. These islands planted with grasses, native flowers, and mangroves should help pull nutrient pollution out of the water and provide habitat for birds and fish. Looking forward to seeing them grow.

I’m interested in whether you included administrative actions like the dissolution of USAID and the hollowing out of basic scientific research funding at orgs like NOAA and NIH?

To be fair, the Democrats are very good at conceding… even when they should legitimately have won the election.

The Marvel™ Way

Direct contradiction to Wirth’s Law, that states that software efficiency halves every 18 months.

Yet exceedingly preferable to current leadership.

All that talking and thinking may lead to disobedience.

Go glamping in a yurt at Cinnamon Bay on St. John, USVI.

Is there a way to improve objective veracity without excluding disparate voices?

What these politicians understand is that Objective Truth as most people think of it is not useful for them, and in fact, is an impediment to their power. Their statements being self-contradictory is a totalizing feature that leads adherents to dependency on the party to interpret reality.

You are missing the part where they are actively trying to destroy higher education in this country.

The request was backdated to March 9, about a month ago.

But isn’t it strange that the government used the exact same argument back then?

It is the official app that geotags pictures on your Nikon DSLR using your phone’s GPS. Seems like it’s probably the right one.

It’s pretty close to saying the press shouldn’t report on Vietnam, isn’t it?

They also had wolves that kept the herds moving, though.

I think SBA is not a very good model, it supports (in my opinion) medium and large businesses that probably don’t need the help. I dont really agree that the car dealership thing is exemplary of what SBA or small business in general does, though.

I would say this is a weird exception, not a rule though.

Efficiency is not always good or always bad. Sometimes it is both. Corporations can only see it as good, and as they become more efficient they become more powerful so government functions should exist to counterbalance the deleterious effects of that efficiency and power.

Companies run entirely by robots and C-suite AI could be very efficient and have no harassment complaints, but I don’t know if that is the model we want to strive for.

Last I heard they had nationalized health care, and supported small businesses in their procurement rules.
