It's extremely well-known and documented that the War on Drugs was racially motivated, and hence drugs used by certain minority groups more than the majority white population were made illegal.
GP's comment isn't suggesting alcoholics are desirable, but that people who preferred alcohol over other drugs were historically part of the "desirable" group. That's my reading of GP's intent, anyway.
are you acknowledging that alcohol was made illegal in the US for white people and only re-legalized after those laws proved unenforceable and fed the growth of white organized crime?
there was a lot of racism in US legal history, but don't try to make drugs and white people who wanted to do drugs the victims, it was non-white people who were the victims directly.
Look at what Timothy Leary and Ken Keasy were saying about LSD
Turn on. Tune in. Drop out.
Apart from being really stupid advice it was viewed, correctly, as a direct threat to the established order. The established order is very bad (no arguments now?) but Tim and Ken were being very stupid and bought a whole load of shit down and put psychedelics back 40 years
Yes of course, but the point was that the hippies were part of the undesirables, along with the black folks, the mexicans, and any women who wanted to say, own private property or have a bank account.
that a very vague vision; a bunch of words with no actual goals.
It used to be "land on the moon" - they've done that. A space telescope - they've done that many times. What is their goal now because I don't know and most Americans don't know but NASA certainly want us to pay millions for their toys. Set a goal, ask for funding. At this point, NASA shouldn't even be ran but the government. Run a patreon and have citizens pony up the money. Those who support NASA can fund NASA.
You've probably heard it before, but research and progress go hand in hand, and science is not synonymous with unpractical. For example, data from NASA missions that track water over the globe are used by climate scientists, yes, but also farmers, local water management agencies, and the military. These projects that account for less than half a penny of each dollar spent by the US govt. have a wide range of audiences and uses.
What else is there for NASA to accomplish scientifically speaking? land on the next planet but for what purpose?
They've got the James Webb out there but what has that revealed for us except better quality images. Do you care if you find out certain planet has O2, C, H20? I certainly don't.
You can argue that NASA has developed some tech that is used in our everyday live but I argue we could have developed that same tech without going to space.
But who would have had the idea to make the technology? We don't know what's possible until after we do it. Science research pays dividends in knowledge and technology that we didn't know to look for otherwise.
this is very impressive. I really like that you have a browser which is almost mandatory for a desktop OS now. You should write down your TODO list and I hope you keep working on this. I think there is room for many OSes especially ones written in Rust.
you already provided 3 reasons: "Very cool and impressive, you probably learned a lot". Why does everything you do have to serve humanity? what have you done to serve humanity and why are your other projects not serving humanity? And who are you to push your views and dictate what others do?
Why do you say that? I've bookmarked the site but I've never used it. If my code compiles, I'm good. Not many people dig into the assembly to find that extra 1% performance boost. I'm not saying this tool is not useful because it is but how often do you use it?
I seldom use it myself, but I frequently see people sharing compiler explorer snippets to compare generated assembly on discord conversations about LLVM in just about any native language discord (but mainly the Rust official one), which may sound like a rare occasion, but it happens more often than you'd think. My impression is that it is definitely in the thousands, but it being a service that I've only seen used for quick comparisons rather than in-depth analysis, I can't tell whether it is much more than that
The official Discord for Rust alone easily hammers it with hundreds of snippets a week. You just say "?godbolt" + a code block and one of the bots will respond with the assembly. It's incredible for answering quick questions like "huh I wonder if this gets optimized out."
While it might have been started to inspect the assembly, these days I mostly see it getting used to share compilable code and test it against multiple compilers.
Sometimes is just a quick way to test minimalist code snipets
because autonomous vehicles include the driver and the vehicle while human operated vehicles only include the vehicle where the operator is the buyer. If you caused a car crash, that's mostly a you issue (unless it's a car defect), not a vehicle issue. If the autonomous vehicle is in a crash, it's a vehicle issue as well. Simple right?
