Yes, casing matters. It carries meaning.

It's the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

This headline makes it sound like the IT systems of a cosmetic surgeon have been attacked by poultry.

Exactly. "Earth" means the planet we live on and "earth" means soil. The disrespect of the meaning conveyed by not using the correct case is noxious and sloppy.

You guys are being too case sensitive.

You do know that London has a relatively low homicide rate don't you?

Knife crime is generally an order of magnatude lower than many US cities I'd also be happy to visit.

It's higher than the rest of the UK but then it is a big city.

(I live in a very rural and crime free part of the UK but love visiting London).

There's also essentially zero overlap between the people who complain about knife crime, and the people who encounter knife crime in London.

Sadly I can imagine car manufacturers using dark patterns to make the options really annoying, just like they do with cookies.

You’ll get some shit like one big “agree to all” button and 200 small opt-out buttons that reset weekly.

> The end state is something like China, where petty street level crime is essentially solved.

That’s also true for many states that don’t have the same coverage of CCTV and total lack of privacy.

These are NOT two sides of the same coin.

Where is petty street crime solved without massive government intrusion?

Japan for starters, Taiwan for seconds.

Land deal?

Russia has never asked for a land deal. They started the war and their goal has always been the total destruction of Ukraine and the enslavement of the people.

Where they’ve pulled back from occupied areas they’ve mass civilian graves and bodies with signs of torture.

> And yes, if Ukraine is using cities as fortresses and do not evacuate civilians from there, high chances are that after weeks and months long battles those civilians end up in graves with nasty wounds on their bodies.

"Nasty wounds" like their hands tied behind their backs and a hole in the back of their skull? That kind of thing?

That sounds like the definition of a war crime to me.

> - Ukrainians are the second largest ethnicity in Russia.

No. Never was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Russia

> - Russia got the majority of Ukrainian refugees since the start of a war if we count per country.

No. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1312584/ukrainian-refuge...

You might be confusing abductees with refugees.

> - The majority of people living on a currently contested territories of Ukraine used to be USSR citizens.

The majority of people living on contested territories of United States in 1775 used to be British citizens. So?

> - And yes, if Ukraine is using cities as fortresses and do not evacuate civilians from there, high chances are that after weeks and months long battles those civilians end up in graves with nasty wounds on their bodies.

Absolutely vile propaganda.

I agree with what you say, but "Never was" is contradicted by your Wikipedia link, which shows Ukrainians in the second position at the 1926 census, being overtaken by Tatars in the more recent censuses.

However, it is not said which is the territory for the 1926 census data, it may have included a part of the present territory of Ukraine, because the borders of present Ukraine are very different from the borders of Ukraine after WWI.

Such census data about Russia and the Soviet Union are hard to interpret without precise knowledge of the corresponding territories, because the fluctuations in numbers may be unrelated to natural growth, but determined by administrative reorganizations or forced deportations.

And literally none of this matters and it's a laundry list of loser russian propaganda

Funny how those reasons don't matter in the least when it's time for russian losers to bomb civilians in Kyiv

> Ukrainians are the second largest ethnicity in Russia.

Ukrainian were second largest ethnicity in Russian Empire/Russian federation until massive massacre in 1932-1934 years, when an uknown number of Ukrainians between 7 million (confirmed by Russian Duma at 04.02.2008, adults only, childrens are not counted) and 25 millions (total number of USSR citizens died because of hunger, number from soviet archives captured by Germans in 1941) was murdered or starved to death.

What’s your point?

Those same C and C++ libraries can be just as easily be called from other languages like ruby.

That's not true at all. Many readline and terminal based clients support vi bindings, you just have to enable them. e.g. stuff like psql.

The shells themselves also support vi binding.

Outside of the terminal tools like Vimium add support to browsers and many other interfaces.

Readline supports Emacs bindings by default, and so do many textboxes (e.g. Ctrl-backspace, ctrl-arrow key), so that argument is stronger for Emacs than vi.

These sorts of studies, on medicine, economics, etc. get a lot of coverage in the Guardian and on the BBC.

I'm always left with the impression that they wouldn't give a shit if they weren't affecting women.

I agree that there's very often a "world ending, women most effected" tone in the media, but... doesn't this article explicitly go against that? It's not complaining that women aren't being equally enticed to throw away their money gambling.

You're commenting on a study that says something is affecting mainly men.

China has 100% started wars. The Sino-Vietnamese War for starters.

Not in the same sense the US or Russia. The Sino-Vietnamese war was brief, about a month. Compare that to US or Russian wars. Now, Im not saying that China won't start wars since they've become a lot stronger. Just looking at it through a historic perspective.

I'm sure that the people of Tibet at the very least would feel strongly about the notion of a peaceful, non-expansionist China. You could ask the people of the Philippines as well, or for an admittedly more complicated answer the people of Japan and the RoK.

China is also happily supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, which makes the "not waging war" distinction a bit academic.

Even better, what if you transform that stolen CD into an MP3, so the data isn’t the same as a lossy process was used, then share the MP3 with the world as your own work?

I don’t get why the training process doesn’t count as any other form of transformation but then I’m not a lawyer.
