This projection of the 4-dimensional being into 3D space appears as the Mandelbrot set. Weirdly, it appears to be the Mandelbrot set no matter what angle you look at it from in 3D space.

“The first step to a successful revolution is destroying all competing revolutionaries!”
Believe it or not, I can be concerned about both.
The difference is, the place where I live has some data privacy regulations which actually get enforced, and I have some legal recourse against organizations which mishandle my data. China does not have such regulations and I do not have any recourse against organizations based there, so my risk from them is significantly higher.
The most important reason for OSHA to exist is to prevent managers from cutting corners on safety. Without regulation, the companies will risk peoples’ lives to save a few dollars.
“You miners don’t really need dust masks, right? PPE is for sissies!”
Greenwashing.
Well obviously they’re RGB LEDs.
DPP politicians should fear for their lives.
Ah, another appeal to violence as the source of morality.
It’s very funny for you to accuse anyone else of being authoritarian.
No, that is not the point that was made in this comment:
Skill issue. If I wanted to have a recognized independent country I would simply win the civil war instead of losing and then hiding in America’s skirt like a coward.
This comment makes very plain that the writer believes that a nation only achieves independence through military force.
We’re not talking about what is ‘widely acknowledged’, we are talking about what you have expressed as your personal belief. And you do have a morality problem:
Skill issue. If I wanted to have a recognized independent country I would simply win the civil war instead of losing and then hiding in America’s skirt like a coward.
You believe that in order to be independent from mainland China, Taiwan should have used military force - or again, that might makes right.
You made this statement. It is not about international law, or opinio juris, or any other deflection you want to attempt. It is about what you believe justifies a nation’s independence, and it is solely based on the exercise of military power.
No, you said:
I would simply win the civil war instead of losing
Which indicates quite clearly that you believe military power should decide whether a nation has the right to independence. You don’t get to try to deflect that ex post facto. You either admit that this is what you genuinely believe in spite of its obvious morality problem, or you admit that you were wrong to make such a statement and acknowledge that your ideas about national independence need changing.
I see, so “might makes right” for you then?
I appreciate you making your sense of morality - or lack thereof - so very clear.
Yes, an authoritarian government with a lot of economic and military power just made it a crime to even speak about their own country’s independence, so they have legitimate reason to be afraid.
Just don’t walk behind them, or they might try to kick you.
This is really good advice for basically every animal with hooves. They mostly have a blind spot directly behind, like horses:
If you walk up behind them inside that blind spot and then move out to either side and suddenly appear in their vision, they’ll react defensively, usually by trying to kick you with their hind legs.
Basically if you can’t see the animal’s eyes then assume it can’t see you, and stay out of kicking range.
Or just reinstalls it in the next update.
I’m having trouble understanding your point. What is the “quiet part”? That representatives from a foreign government visited Taipei?
The Laundromat (2019) attempts to describe the human impact of this kind of large-scale money laundering. It’s worth watching.
