And they don’t need that, they can just arrest you

I run faster than cunts in riot gear. I wouldn’t be typing this otherwise.

If you have an iPhone you can go ahead and try Flight Mode right now. You’ll see that it disconnects from WiFi and disables cellular. NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stay powered on, Bluetooth stays active. Yes, latest iOS has Bluetooth tracking protection on by default (varies by country, illegal in some), but it is not completely safe. I’m not sure about NFC and Wi-Fi. If you power the phone off it is unlikely to turn off the radios - they are needed for “find my iPhone” and similar features on Google and Samsung Galaxy phones.

Overall you can’t be confident that your phone does not reveal your location and identity to “law enforcement”, especially in places where police is well equipped to track you.

Why not bring your phone?

Your SIM/IMEI are tied to your ID. The police can visit you at home later. Details depend on the country.

only in English is the term Dutch used for the Netherlands

meanwhile in multiple slavic languages pretty much the same word (датчане, данцi, datčáne, …) refers to Danes.

I did the math:

Room temperature is often defined as 20 degrees Celsius (although I remember it being 23C in some old textbooks).

20+16.6 is 36.6 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

20+18.6 is 38.6 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

AFAIK ~42.0 degrees is lethal.

Oh, I should’ve mentioned the location. I’m not talking about the US.

It is widely used by tech people and people from Eastern Europe and Middle East. Effectively everyone I know from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Turkey and India use it.

Meanwhile Telegram is one of the most effective and bullshit-free social networks, way more popular among certain audiences than Meta, X, and other garbage.

Everyone was pissed

as someone who had worked in transparent jurisdictions: everyone should absolutely be pissed about not having this info available publicly always in real time.

Several Dutch people told me that firearms are common on ships under the Dutch flag. Given the number of people owning sea-worthy vessels this might be interesting. Do you know anything about this?

This might be OK depending on your location and the government system in place. Voting for a single person that has to answer all questions sounds like UK or US to me.

Take a look at the Finnish or the Dutch parliament. 7, 8, 16 parties there? Independent (no-party) politicians too. Each one of them is free to represent people with specific needs and only focus on that.

Also keep in mind that some questions like “healthcare” and “welfare” may be less relevant too. It can be pretty much resolved (you can always promise to “increase doctors’ wages by 30%!”). More specific issues remain.

MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research

The article was published 3 days after the arxiv release. How is this an “exclusive preview”?

Successfully tricking existing models by a few crafted samples doesn’t seem like a significant achievement. Can someone highlight what exactly is interesting here? Anything that can’t be resolved by routine adjustments to loss/evaluation functions?

They don’t have to cover everything. Pirate Parties often ally with other parties that cover other specific problems, e.g. Piratenpartij & De Groenen (“Pirate Party” and “The Greens” alliance) in Netherlands, and they work well together.

Well, I still don’t see how it does not rhyme.

Watch it Dutchie

😒 Even though I am a slim 2-meter tall blonde blue-eyed rude narcissistic guy with a strong Dutch accent living in Amsterdam, eating sandwiches for lunch, even though I can ride a bike and skipper a ship in any weather with equal ease, and I do enjoy making fun of Brits, I am not Dutch. I also drink more tea than you do :P

Boring fact: it’s also “sit like a Turk” or “sit the Turkish way” in Russian (сидеть по-турецки).

Now I’m curious what they say in Turkish.

UPD: me and @TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee are referring to the Lotus position which is what it is called in Turkish.

Yay vocaroo! Can someone record the same phrase in British?

Yes they do.
