The words country and nation are absolutely not interchangeable, no matter how lay people use the terms.

Kurdistan doesn’t really have a central government like that, nor fixed or well defined borders. Keep in mind that the concept of a “Nation State” is really only a couple hundred years old.

If that counterexample doesn’t satisfy you, then Somalia should. It is a country without a functioning government, which has two nations inside of them of the northern and southern Somalians which are completely different, and neither of which have any sort of unifying government.

This definition is not fully correct. A nation does not need to have a government. For example the Kurds

It’s less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.

It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.

Don’t you understand? 20% tarrifs is actually good for the economy because prices will go down when China has to pay Americans 20%! Take that communists! And unregulated capitalism is the only way to avoid inefficiencies and economic dead ends, thanks to the protective power of monopolies.

The country of … Puerto Rico??

A nation perhaps but why TF is he calling it a country

Literally just read the article. Lmao

Saying that last bit about time is not particularly meaningful for two reasons.

First of all, we do not especially know the end state of the universe. It may not be true that all matter decays, and protons may be stable. We may be in a false vacuum which will spontaneously collapse in large timespans.

Second of all, the hypothetical is a thought experiment. The monkeys are a placeholder for any random generation of characters. The though experiment also does not take into consideration the food required to feed monkeys for infinite time, nor their aging, mutation over generations, and waste logistics. It’s not meaningful then to suddenly decide to apply the laws of physics to them. The only laws applicable in this scenario are logic and mathematics.

I generally agree with the rest of your take, although I disagree where you say the thought experiment is dumb. I only have an issue with that last point lol. Cheers.

He wasn’t up Trump’s ass like a month ago. That’s a fairly recent development.

Wow. What a visionary 🙄

Yep Elon famously invented the first electric car and the first reusable spacecraft. He did it in his garage with his own two hands!

Their motivations are still religious. Scripture and belief/practice often do not coincide or outright contradict each other.

Doesn’t really matter because the supermajority of Americans think abortion should be legal anyway. It’s a small minority of the population that we have allowed to dictate domestic policy for their religious agenda.

You joke but that’s sorta how it works for some HDDs lol

I have a quadro k2000m in my laptop. Cannot use modern drivers, and old drivers slowly have their support dropped by everything else. If the chip works then the drivers should as well.

AMD does not have this problem. AMD has open source drivers. If NVIDIA made their drivers open source then it would not be a problem.

NVIDIA drivers are notoriously bad. They break and WILL depreciate your card eventually, forcing you to switch to the slow open source drivers.

I have had two cards lose support. It’s absurd.

But for 370 it’s kinda a steal honestly.

TempleOS is NOT linux

This is legitimately feasible with a 3d printed stencil

I think the meaning of the actual words that he chose is less important than the fact that it sounds absurdly convoluted.

Also I don’t think his point is true. If you read academic papers come up most of them are pretty easy to understand.
