I was quite surprised when I first had to handle large amounts of cash. Securely transporting it to and from a bank is quite a hassle, and making sure you always have enough change is as well. Idk about the specific economics of it, but it’s easy to underestimate for those of us who don’t have to deal with it at scale.

Handling cash is expensive and difficult for shops, so it might make sense to not require shops to accept cash.

I guess certain crimes also become harder.

Not sure I support it, but I see that there are points to it.

It’s called RockShotgunPaper

Those are some sweet stories :)

Looking great! Genuine cis question, when I come across fabulous looking trans people, I get really conflicted, I want to look and admire and wonder and praise, but I’m nervous that they’d really just like to blend in and not be ogled. I guess I often end up “staunchly not looking”. What’d you prefer if it was you?

The US makes the case that Israel has a functioning judicial system, not the ICC. The ICC and the UN makes the opposite case, and correctly so, I would say.

Indeed. The whole criticism of the ICC comes from the viewpoint that Israel has a functioning, independent judiciary able to sentence Netanyahu for war crimes, and therefore the ICC shouldn’t intervene.

I have no idea if that is true, but the fact that it hasn’t happened yet makes me feel like it might very well not be.

Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it’s just the physics of matter that isn’t liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.

I mean, the tags literally say fantasy, so I guess OP is getting what he asked for

Observation does not require a human observer - the extreme complexity of quantum mechanics remain even without any creature involved.

Even accurately modeling basic chemical reactions without any human interaction takes up more computational power than humanity will ever achieve without a quantum computing.

Absolutely, but the morality of said rapist competing at the Olympics a decade later, after having served his sentence and possibly having been rehabilitated is a pretty nuanced subject, wouldn’t you say?

Makes sense. But does this community know whether he has done so? My understanding is that the crime was committed a decade ago, and that he admits fault. I assume nobody here followed it at the time.

It seems this community has turned very quickly to an un-nuanced discussion with very little data.

No sympathy for him from here, but this is an interesting conversation about justice.

Is it his responsibility that the justice system gave him the sentence it did?

Who gets to decide what is adequate consequences, how long ago the crime should have been, what is appropriate sentencing and what is appropriate steps of reconciliation?

I agree with the gut feeling that he was sentenced lightly, but as the previous comment said, how do we combine that with a belief in the rehabilitation of criminals?

You choose a velocity from an infinite number of options, but the electron exists in a superposition of all those options.

Ugh, the video about “leftist code” feels straight out of The Boys.

please explain how I’m wrong.

I think the misunderstanding at play is that this isn’t a question of foreign relations, but rather about the factual conditions of the conflict and whether they justify the legal and/or moral label of genocide.

Such factual conditions can be investigated through sound, empirical gathering of evidence, and any well defined concept of genocide can then be evaluated in that context.

This evidence gathering and following genocide evaluation can be much better performed by organizations with expertise and authority on such matters. Most of the listed organizations are considering expert evidence gatherers and experienced, empowered authorities of genocide evaluation.

Therefore, the fact that such a list of organizations agree on the evidence supporting the label, must weigh as evidence to those of us who do not have this expertise ourselves. It proves nothing outright, but should weigh heavily in the private opinion-forming of laymen.

How is that?

Fascinating. There’s an achievement for getting all other achievements, which some people have, but as you say nobody has the question marks. I wonder what that is about.

What achievements can’t be achieved yet?

It’s actually expected that matrix inversion will see a polynomial increase in speed, but with all the overhead of quantum computing, we only really get excited about exponential speedups such as in RSA decryption.
