The Spanish notation makes the parentheses around n-k obsolete, clearly saving one symbol in some formulas is worth introducing a new one in others.

The image is a cropped xkcd with the text replaced but the same joke.

UNRWA is a civil organization largely staffed by Palestinians to provide necessities like food and schools to the Palestinians.

Let’s not mix up the crimes Israel commits.

There is “not financially viable” and than there is spending 12 times the gdp of earth each year.

Like mathematicians and physicists.

Ban the use of chatgpt for your employees because of data protection concerns and open similar capabilities to the public a month later. The is no way this can possibly go wrong.

It’s perfectly legal to take photos if your ballot in many other states.

As a german, that’s really bad. Not only does that mean you can sell your vote for money, someone can blackmail you into voting a certain way.

Not banning the NPD because it was small and “posed no credible threat to democracy” was the stupidest decision out constitutional court ever made.

It’s about hype and economics.
Tech companies can theoretically scale well and are valued on the expectation of growth while normal companies are manly valued based on what they currently do. An app can basically be copied for free to millions of users once it has been coded and servers don’t cost that much. A traditional company, say a car company, that wants to increase profits has to build a new factory or something. The problems arise when a companies perception goes from startup/tech company to normal company.

Example: wework was a startup that rented office space long term and lets it customers rent short term from them. Once people realized, that it was a real estate company and not a tech company it’s value plummeted, it couldn’t raise more capital and went bankrupt.
