Prentending to be hackerman is a legit usecase IMHO. They do seem like fun, but I personally can't justify the cost.
I would definitely play with one if I had one

I refuse to believe this title is anything other than engagement-bait, personally.
one time the state of Indiana almost made pi equal to 3.2. This is the dumb shit that happens when you aren't introduced to these topics in school. Please don't return us to dark times.
Out of curiosity, what was your motivation for posting this?
In a poly relationship with n members, there will be 2^n - n - 1 interpersonal relationships in play.
This is the cardinality of the power set of n, minus the number of singleton sets and the empty set.
Thought i would mention it, just in case you needed a quick way to calculate the number of relationships in ur polycule for ur therapist.
I think it's notable what they didn't find. No guns, weapons. No plane tickets. No bombs or bomb making equipment. No actual real plans, just aimless searches. This guy is young. You can find a picture of this guy online (I'm not going to link it. I think these sorts of sites should be illegal tbh).
My guess:
- Mentally ill, possibly mentally disabled
- Lives with mom/dad etc, probably unemployed or unable to find a "good" job (Not a moral failing. American society is not giving many options for young adults to live "complete" lives).
- Mom/dad/whoever notices how angry he is and installs a keylogger, because they don't want him to become a mass shooter, and he's a grown man still on Roblox.
- Immediately confesses everything to FBI
This guy needs a mental health intervention, not jail time. I have a hard time believing he is much of a public threat since they listed all the cool stuff they found in his house in the FBI charging documents but no guns/etc. This guy didn't have a plan.
Highly recommend this podcast episode from Reveal: Lessons From a Mass Shooter’s Mother
Friend, the magazine this article is from is named Jacobin, after that political movement.
It is a US-based magazine, and it's not very popular, so it's understandable that you haven't heard of it. But it does pay to read the article before commenting.
Errr... am I mistaken? This is the first time I'm hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it's from Jacobin....
Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually....
big spiderman pointing at spiderman vibes if true
I'm not coming to argue you on your main point. As a Communist, I think communism would be great in Japan, and a lot of other places.
However, you are completely wrong about the USA not defending Japan. Unlike taiwain there are several large american military bases in Japan, and actually Japan is not allowed to have a large military of its own through its constitution (I edited this, corrected)
article 9 of Japanese constitution involving its military
Okinawa is one base a lot of people have heard of, but there's like 20 american military bases there. Japan depends on the USA for its foreign defense.
Since Japan is the largest foreign holder of american government debt (bonds) it might be appropriate to call them a vassal state.
I mean.... Ramanujan was the GOAT, but he was still able to do his proofs. That's more or less my point. He didn't suddenly convert a bunch of Oxford mathematicians to Hinduism because he was able to do incredible math proofs (i think they would have been similarly unconvinced he was a time traveller). The proof was in the pudding.... in the proofs.
In order to do Wile's proof of Fermat's last theorem, you have to invent 100 years of math from memory, something Wiles himself would (almost certainly) struggle to do, but maybe he could pull it off. I remember reading an article about Wile's proof, and he was incredibly humble about it, and described it as a collaborative effort between himself and his peers IIRC. The proof itself wasn't complete without a correction from another math academic IIRC. This thread is like, kind of a misunderstanding of math academics.
In 1875 you don't have ZFC set theory and Cantor's works are bleeding edge (I think Cantor's work is controversial and incomplete in this time... fuck it, maybe you should just work with Cantor himself if you can find him. Maybe he'd believe you. I didn't take math history IDK)
I cannot find a source to link to it now but I remember reading through Godel's incompleteness theorem, a proof of Fermat's theorem isn't possible without the extensions of classical mathematics that were developed in the 20th century.
You'll have to take my word for it on that last bit. I'm a time traveling dolphin, after all.
Anyway, that's more or less my point, you'd have to basically be an incredibly talented math professor (in theoretical mathematics, not applied) to demonstrate this proof to satisfaction to a bunch of professors in 1875. You'd also probably have to be white and male. It's just not something a casual lemmy poster can like, do, you know? There's a reason that Fermat's theorem wasn't proven for 350 years despite being accepted as true.

As a user, you should be upset that a private company is controlling how you are allowed to use your device that you paid for with your money.
This would be like if Microsoft decided you could only run Microsoft-approved code on a computer you purchased, in some cases with a locked bootloader so you can't even change your OS.
Also, Google is (imho) already operating unethically when it comes to the app store (See Google v. Epic). I don't care about Fortnite, but Google really shouldn't be able to take a cut of random services just because it's running on Android.
