  Oh I know, but I wanted to make sure no one has any grounds to accuse me of prophecies or something worse. Also the precise date doesn’t matter.

  The technology of loan risk assessment? Yes, it exists worldwide, all banks are doing it. But there is a wide chasm between

  “when I show up asking for a loan bank will xray all my previous financial history and craft its offer from that” in Europe (at least my country) and

  “credit score is a houshold term, people employ lifehacks to improve it and you’re screwed if it’s bad because half of everything runs on credit”.

  I’d prefer them to converge from Baldur’s Gate 3 direction. Cast more or less established voice actors and give them the hype and marketing space usually found among movie/tv stars. “films and games converge” yea, when we treat a 200hour computer game the way we treat a long tv series and acknowledge the actors’ contribution on the same level.

  Oh true, the mineral salts from supplements (and broader salts of necessary metals) should count! Thanks for a long answer!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why were we able to stamp out Nazism but not the Taliban?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Two things: geography and popular support.

  Most of Germany is a massive plain with super-dense settlement network. There is nowhere to hide for a partisan group and by 20th century it’s not possible for local chieftains to hold sovereign power as it’s easy to just move towns/regions. Nazis had no way to hide their potential guerilla operations, no way to rely on sympathetic locals in select places. Afghanistan is sparsely populated, with local communities, which sometimes can be isolated from each other due to terrain and distances. The entire country is mountains which have hardly ever been surveyed and are inhospitable to anyone not born there (and even then it’s just too easy to hide).

  Yes, millions of Germans supported the Nazi party. But millions more were quietly against it or were “not interested in politics”. After WW2 the Nazi party was soundly beaten and the non-commited/antinazi Germans could build a civil society - in a land which had centuries of civic traditions. Whereas the Taliban have more commited supporters and weaponise the religion which already is very influential in any individual’s life in a land dominated by patriarchal clan social structures.

  Knuth’s arrow shows up in… Magic the Gathering. There’s a challenge of “how much damage can you deal with just 3 cards and without infinitely repeating loops?”. Turns out that stacking doubler effects can get us really high. polygon.com/…/magic-phyrexia-all-will-be-one-best…

  I like Stand-up Maths, usually starts with a real-life situation and escalates into proper math, sometimes also programming shows up.
