A class of 200 students performing much worse than the last class is very unlikely. 200 Students is enough to make even small differences statistically significant.

A single test being much harder than the last test is much more likely, since it isn't an averahe of 200, it's a single datapoint.

That's why if this semester's class performed much worse than last semester's, you can assume it's because of the test, not the students.

Well the options aren't just capitalism and socialism. There's also worse capitalism. So a normal capitalist system that protects itself does not just prevent socialism, it also prevents worse capitalism.

An example of a system that turned to worse capitalism is Nazi Germany. That's why today, Germany prevents system change, so as to not again change from normal capitalism to worse capitalism.

Some people play video games to relax, they don't try to get better at them.

Mastodon is tagged with Privacy but Signal isn't? I wonder what privacy means to OOP

Granted, in this situation, it's a little more complicated than "victim and offender", but that is what it's being distilled down to here, with reality being flipped to present Ukraine as victim and Russia as offender.

I'm not sure whether I'm reading this right. Are you talking about the "offender" within the context of the post, meaning "offender" = "the one who has Nazis in their ranks" or are you talking about the "offender" within the context of the war, meaning "offender" = "the aggressor force in the ukraine/russia war"?

Which China is already working on and are as far as test flights.

Of course the US and China both have some kinds of stealthy fighter jets. That does't mean that China has what the US has (or will have).

Or does "next-generation" have a specific meaning, other than "better"?

I was working with Argon2 hashes, so it was the first thing to come to mind.

whatever you need to justify killing a pig

I don't need any justification for that lol. I wouldn't care if people ate dogs either.

I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don't eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).

Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don't eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.

The only odd one out are horeses, who we don't eat in spite of them not being carnivores.

Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I'm just lucky.
