Best I've been able to explain it is that it's a country build on hope and dreams, which are not compatible with reality and truth.

Well, who did you trust to build your hardware?

Well at some point you encounter a phase change, which complicates things, but mostly the heat capacity (how much energy it takes to raise the temperature) is fairly constant. In an ideal gas it is exactly constant, but that is a bit of an approximation, even if it works quite well for most gases.

Lenovo definitely deserves to be banned after that shit they pulled with the malicious root certificates.

For a revolution to succeed you need the power to remove any people in power that oppose you, doesn't get more authoritarian than that.

And at this point it's also code for 'machine learning'.

Which really is just fancy statistics. Sometimes it's barely more advanced than plain regression.

Reminds me of the time I did roughly the same thing trying to get people to move away from internet explorer.

Heck if accelerating to Mach 19 in about 2 meters is acceptable you could just disable the rotors and only experience an acceleration of less than Mach 1 in just a few meters.

I'm surprised you got tired of the stupid decisions if I'm honest.

I wasn't aware the characters were making any.

Wouldn't surprise me if even Unicode advices against using Roman numerals depending on meaning.

It was mostly a joke (though frankly if you try any implementation more complicated than that joke you're going to have a bad time).
