They can do what they want, but from a user perspective they should be doing something else. Seems like a perfectly fine way to use that word to me.

It's the view off the Warschauer Bridge in Berlin, nobody actually lives there.

I live around the corner :D

Sure, but you don't live on it

What an interesting way to phrase things when the US is responsible for much more suffering and unrest outside of it's own borders. Including the current situation in Russia, come to think of it.

4 seconds of attention is not particularly impressive!

What's the argument here, that achieving mastery sufficient to get to a 4 second Rubik's cube solve requires at most 4 seconds' attention span?

It is a joke

Thank you

The Chess world championship has an Open section and a Women's section. The Open section is open to every gender.

But it's a fair assumption considering how Kasparov treated Polgar.

> It's absurd that I cannot pay cashless without using American companies

The infrastructure for it exists with instant SEPA transfers, and Wero is slowly developing into a useful system for retail payments, but without the EU mandating that banks and retailers must support it alongside Visa it will take a while for meaningful penetration to happen.

Yeah, it's good that it is progressing. But my hopes are really on the digital Euro. I hope the EU doesn't fall for the lobbying against it by the (Wero) banks.

Where?

It's more low key than America but they set up secret police stations to keep an eye on Chinese communities all over the world. Officially they only help investigate crimes against their citizens but they also harass and spy on known political opponents.

In 2021 they ran a campaign that forced over 200k overseas Chinese to return to the mainland or risk punishment against their family: https://safeguarddefenders.com/en/blog/110-overseas-230000-c...

and several others in UK

This directly involves Chinese citizens and the Chinese consulate, and diplomatic immunity exists everywhere.

The US is sanctioning a foreign court over actions that do not even involve the US itself. There is no comparison here.

The PRC is strongarming educational institutions. Look up the Drew Pavlou case at Queensland University. There are similar reports from New Zealand, Canada and the UK.

If that's what it takes for Americans to start caring about the harm their military is inflicting on the world, sure.

There's actually more than one line in the comment you're replying to.

I don't think people "in general" refer to games as "solved" or "not solved" at all. Among people who do, chess and go are definitely not referred to as (fully) solved.

"to have a chance against intelligent humans. Until it was solved."

But this was the original statement - so solved references "chance against intelligent humans". And this is clearly solved. No comment on that there cannot be better go engines, but no matter how painful it is, they beat the best humans. (And it was painful, they did cry)
