Quantum computing will eventually make specifically Bitcoin worthless. Eth at least gets upgrades, so it might survive.

“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”

Honestly the fact you can become a coder and get paid for it is impressive, by the historical human society average.

Where are you getting that number? The 5% lead shown here is for the whole province, including rural areas. Although I guess Edmonton is in there too.

Yup. Last poll on Dec. 20th, too. Presumably the trend has continued.

The polls are looking better and better, fortunately.

They already have a case about the NWC cooking. Maybe they can sue her for the money to fulfill Alberta’s court system obligations next.

Specifically, radio operators like them - with a directional antenna, it matters which direction goes from Canada to Australia the fastest, and if your station is fixed it can even be a paper map.

I don’t know what sailing yachts would use. Probably a close-up map that’s nearly flat anyway, since surf, wind direction and local obstacles are the main consideration. In commercial or military sailing, it’s entirely possible normal navigation just takes place automatically and digitally at this point. Sextant, compass and Mercator still exist as a backup, though!

So can they sue the German government for illegally handing them over to goons, now?

It only takes one other member protecting you to become un-removable.

NATO is even worse, you’re just in it forever no matter what you do. These were both poor design choices, 3/4 should be enough for anything.

The Yugoslavia example is very worrying. Who knows how they would have fared in an invasion, but just normal politics was deadly.

In the modern digital world it doesn’t seem necessary to decentralise much, since lines of communication can be very durable, if not necessarily fast. Even North Korea has data going in and out. If chain of command is clearly established and enforced ahead of time, and forces are numerous, integrated, nicely hidden away and given initial orders, I don’t expect decapitation would work well. Not in the Canadian cultural context.

I hear the Taliban has been an inspiration in these wargames. That works, they’re definitely hyper-central.

Eh. Doing a civilian government in exile and leaving the military in country makes more sense.

I have to wonder how deep in the arctic it would be practical for the guerillas, even, to go. They’re going to need food from the south at the very least, and it’s a lot of gas and days on snowmobile to get to Alert.

I always thing about this as I hear my clothes bouncing around in there. I wonder how long one of those drying closets would take to earn itself back vs. a tumble dryer.

Being not 100% a democracy and having massive nationalistic tensions with an equally powerful neighbor is a pretty big pill to swallow, as well.

See, we’re speaking German already.

Highly unlikely Putin will spend any money on new warheads right now.

Wat. Mine is always the average colour of the load.

Actually, azimuthal equidistant is unironically useful if it centers on you.

Still best for sailing the high seas.

You think I just go after software? /s

Okay, now this is getting ridiculous. You put this same thing on a typical equal-area projection and it will still fail.

Projections distorting things isn’t a conspiracy, it’s guaranteed by mathematics.

I mean, me neither. But if all sets are finite AoC just trivially holds, right? You can do it “manually”.

If you back off to just ZF, parts of functional analysis will break. L^infinity space isn’t separable, and so isn’t necessarily Baire anymore, for example.

If we go all the way to finitism or ultrafinitism it doesn’t really exist as a concept in the first place. But, whatever numerical engineering calculation will still work, and you can probably do something that looks like functional analysis to determine a mode of vibration, even if you’re actually just using a series of high-dimensional but finite spaces. Probably, anyway. Don’t ask me to prove it.
