There's a problem, covid was in Italy as early as September 2019. (see Dr John Campbell's video on this) Cases in November 2019 aren't early, it started probably six months earlier.
We see more and more similar laws being passed in recent years, laws that are blatantly discriminatory. This may raise the indignation of many people, but in my opinion, Israel is shooting itself in the foot by passing these laws, because it reinforces the argument that it is an apartheid regime. Israel is slowly losing its support in the free democratic world where people believe in the inalienable universal rights of individuals and are less and less willing to turn a blind eye to such institutionalized racism.
An overall valid argument, but there are also other vantage points to consider.
Take for instance providers' backlogs. Anyone having studied process scheduling knows how the size of your tasks, precedence, interruptibility, number of processors, and scheduling algorithm make a huge difference. The covid disruption affected all those factors.
Question: Let's say you took a bunch of indicators and said "I can prove China is a totalitarian state because it has a bad score on each of these indicators". Don't you believe that western "democratic" states probably have embarrassing scores on many of them?
My point is:
1 - "Totalitarian" is a tricky concept to deconstruct
2 - The direction western democratic countries are taking is worrying me
The easiest way to get the answer to a question on the internet is to post the wrong answer. Simply record the song with your band and claim it's yours.
If nobody comes up to claim it, then the original authors died, and couldn't make it to the final recording. You would have to look for bands whose members died together at the same time.
I'd suggest https://lambdaschool.com/ or https://www.freecodecamp.org/ These platforms not only provide programming training but also culture and broader context. Knowing language X or framework Y isn't everything, that's why in interviews people ask questions like "what happens when you open a website". There's value in studying the "stuff that kept you up countless nights at college but you will never use at work" because it changes the way you think and helps you fit better.
I think the point you just made about the rate of replacement of lithium-ion batteries is very pertinent to solar panels(to the point that many consider solar a scam)
Really cool! But can you tell us what you use Wireguard for?
isn't the game fun! :)
I agree that MOOCs, particularly in areas such as math and physics, are woefully insufficient. Nevertheless, videos and MOOCs still have their place, because they help you formulate the questions you need to answer. They help you know what unknowns you don't know.
