“the production of critical thought – what is collectively referred to as the “humanities””
This is a rebranding of the humanities, but a good one. When people continue to talk of a “crisis in the humanities” for several decades with no resolution, this is a logical next step. “Humanities” as a term is broader than critical thinking, but narrowing its focus to just critical thinking would be a wonderful thing for students and professors alike.
I just wish we funded it like we cared about it. Even outside the United States funding for what we call the humanities broadly is pretty tiny. Inside the United States it’s depressing.
It’s just real clear which departments can afford to hire research assistance and teaching assistance and which ones higher adjuncts. In a lot of these institutions, I don’t think there’s enough there to support the weight it needs to support.
The west only accepts Iranian women with degrees (same for men, same for any other place for that matter, if they accept anyone at all, and for obvious reasons Russia is out, especially for men)
In other words, yes, the islamic revolution is making women smarter. Men too, but not to the same degree. But in the worst way possible. By putting a gun to their head and torturing them non-stop, then effectively letting the smartest 5% out.
Yes regime apologists want to call that "making women smarter" because "torturing women", what islam actually does, sounds ... unlikely to gather support for stopping the war and it's not like they care about these women.
So that suggests 2% of the US baseline population have violent criminal records, versus 14% of those arrested by ICE. Precisely what case is the reporter trying to make?
Maybe that 5 year olds shouldn't be put in concentration camps?
If you're not getting it, I've heard there is a startup who can grow a soul for you in a vat and mail it to you, but I don't think that they are in production yet. Pray for seed funding before you die, I suppose.
They case they're making is that the claim that they're doing it to remove violent criminals is a lie. They're sweeping up everybody, including some American citizens and others who are legally allowed to be here.
If it were a few individuals, it might be counted as a mistake. But it's not; it's clearly about xenophobia and authoritarianism.
Thank you for posting that cheap crack. If you hadn’t, then I would have been duty-bound to sacrifice karma with a similar post. BTW, Cheap Crack was one of the stage names I considered when exploring a career in the lucrative adult entertainment industry.
The equivalent for positive link weight shortest paths is the “string algorithm” — build the network out of string and pull taut between the two knots/nodes, the resulting set of taut links is the shortest path.
“A standard internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle requires roughly 3,000 Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs). A modern Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) requires up to 22,000.”
“In contrast to a typical car with an internal combustion engine, which utilizes approximately 2,000 Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs), the Tesla Model 5 boasts a significantly higher count, nearing 10,000. Similarly, the transition from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone X marked a substantial increase in MLCC count per handset, jumping from 500 to 1,000 units.”
I don’t know a diode from a dipstick, but how can an iPhone fit a thousand of any discrete component in its case? A quick search found the smallest MLCC from one vendor (1515) to be .15x.15x.10 (in.).
A thousand of those seems to be 2.25 cu.in. That’s lot of real estate for an iPhone. I’m an idiot when it comes to these sorts of things…can someone explain?
I’ve always thought the hippie protests in 1968 are what guaranteed Nixon his second term. It provided an “other” whose appearance to the majority was so off putting/repulsive that, even during an unpopular war, they were willing to re-elect Nixon just to attempt to purge the National consciousness of the buffoonery presented as the Left (and actually was, to some extent). The Democratic Party was only able to reclaim leadership when they found an anti-hippie (Jimmy Carter, Navy nuclear sub guy) as a spokesperson. Democrats who continue, and who will continue, to struggle under the anti-woke backlash should take note.
Let me vu that déjà for you. Prior recent experience makes potential impacts easier to forecast, understand and manage.
