told people YEARS ago that China was enacting REAL strategy, & it's still true, now.

( the fact that Chinese corruption undermines their country, & the party-rule system is intrinsically-corrupt, are side-issues.

The fact that their Belt & Road program has been mopping-up opportunity, while the West has been playing petty wrestling-matches over feelings, is going to be costing us our lives, soon. )

You've just proven that for you only the "cover image" is sufficient for judging the book.

I'm old: sometimes the cover misrepresents the book, & good books need to be read, no matter what the cover looks like.

Not only I wouldn't be surprised if it was his idea, outright,

I'd be surprised if any other person in the entire Liberal party had anywhere near the international-financial fight-smarts that he's got.

Experience-induced-understanding & experience-formed-instincts are Kahneman1-mind ( lower forebrain ), so they are programmed in through seas of imprinting..

It's like the difference between someone who has the idea of martial-arts going up against somebody who actually-trained for decades: the difference-in-effectiveness is significant.

I know the everybody-the-same socialist-idealists have a religious-problem with Carney because of his career, & his being rich compared with us, but .. real competence isn't in everybody, & if the reward-system doesn't reward excellence/accomplishment, .. then it won't produce that.

The reward-system in Communist countries rewards non-responsible, non-accountable, party-authority, right?

& that is the result it produces.

I expect diversity-of-intelligence, diversity-of-experience, diversity-of-potential to produce outliers, if the "market" of individual-human-development is working right

( unlike the naive-socialists & the communists, who hold that it isn't equal-validity among diverse people that we have, rather it is identicality we supposedly have .. or the fascists, for that matter, with their "supremacist" delusion disallowing all other peoples from having potential/validity of their own.. )

He's got exactly the kind of trained-instinct needed in this situation.

We don't.

We need him, now.

( exactly as we needed Jack Layton, but only Quebec understood that, & then we lost they guy..

.. sigh ..

Minority-governments with the right leader can do awesome good!

Majority-governments .. that's when we need Journalism-with-teeth, to make them more accountable, like minority-gov'ts are, right? : )

( too damn bad the other federal parties are either corrupt ( the right ) or foolish ( the NDP's weird mixture of accuracy & delusional-idealism ) .. Canada's nearly-bankrupt, thanks to the Liberal Party's last few decades ( a male version of Kathleen Wynn's government, has Justin Trudeau been? ), & if we go bankrupt, then we ARE annexed by Trump, helplessly.

We absolutely cannot afford any more financial mismanagement from the feds.

What is coming is the 2nd Depression, not a mere recession.

I don't know when it is hitting, with Trump being fueled by destructive-chaos itself, but the economic-bubble we've been living-in HAS to pop, & when it does, it'll take 3y to bottom-out, & when that happens, Trump is going to use that economic-hardship to finish eradicating the Constitution from the US of A's real law.

the plummet begins sometime this-year, I've been expecting it for months & months..

but which Trum possessing the US it simply can't be delayed much longer..

so the 3y bottom-out of the global economy happens in 2028, when Trump needs it to happen, for his finishing his highjacking of the US.

https://www.depledgeswm.com/depledge/the-us-printed-more-than-3-trillion-in-2020-alone-heres-why-it-matters-today/

seems to give the right gist of it..

Essentially, IF you have an economy in-which there are 1M people & 1B dollars, & 1-day's food costs $2,

BUT you then double the amount of money in the economy,

THEN suddenly 1-day's food costs the same fraction of the total-amount-of-money-in-the-economy, but the number-of-dollars changes, because the relative-value of each dollar has been diluted,

so what had cost $2 / day for food, NOW it costs $4 / day for food.

Inflation.

I've read that the total quantitative-easing done during the Biden years amounts to multiplying the amount of US-dollars by 10x.

Which means that each $ should now be worth only 1/10th of what it did at the beginning.

but it has been "held back" by many many many players..

Market-correction has to happen, sooner or later.

All the bogosity in our economy cannot self-sustain perpetually.

Unfortunately, the longer that actuality is fought-off, the greater the hardship when it bites.

So, .. probably famines, for many populations, in poorer areas..

Humankind's choice, obviously..

As was pointed-out in the original Depression:

you can't start any business because there's no credit available.

You can't get credit existing, because there's no businesses being started.

Catch-22.

  1. according to those headlines, above, in the condensed-version of the story, what the Zionists are doing to the entire Palestinian population is somehow "not" execution?

& yes, I know that Islamists & Zionists are now competing to represent ideological-rabies through butchery-of-others, but the Zionists definitely are winning, according to rather alot of evidences, including the most-successful extermination-campaign against journalists waged since Hitler/Stalin..

https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6669/Euro-Med-Monitor:-Israel%E2%80%99s-brutality-in-Gaza-surpasses-all-recent-forms-of-terrorism

  1. I've seen reports that China used executions to convert unwanted minorities into profitable body-parts..

China simply doesn't provide reliable statistics, and they apparently had an actual quota system for executions ( like 10k/y, to feed the medical-tourism industry, a few years ago, was what reports were saying )

  1. We've all seen video, by now, of US police executing people in "self defense", like a man explaining that his ID is in his back pocket, then being told to get it, then being shot 4 times for doing-so.. with his girlfriend beside him, & her small child, too..

Do those executions count in these statistics?

Apparently not..

Only formal executions count?

I don't accept that only "formal" executions really are executions.

Trump & Putin are committed to DESTROYING the hated EU between a pincer of Putin + butchered-Eastern-Europe & Trump + butchered Canada & Greenland.

THEN they get to be the only "kings" ruling the remains of the West, until they die.

They're narcissist-nihilists, as all "mass shooters" are: they're just committing their "mass shooting" through legislations, & hitting entire populations with what they're firing, legislatively.

Pay attention to the fact that the woke EU is competing against both of them for world-significance AND doing-so with anti-Putin/Trump values.

Canada & Greenland stand in the way, that is all, except for the wealth that Trump would gain, through claiming it as his new-possession of the US.

Destroying the EU, though, that'd be "priceless" to them..

No more competitor!!

So, the fascists can make civilization "dance to their tune" even without actually doing anything..

Which demonstrates that they have been allowed too-much power, already.

IF you're using Google, then it's probably systematic algorithmic-bubble:

I saw some article which showed what Google was showing different people, for the same search, and it was sickening how polarized the extremes were through Google.

I now use DuckDuckGo.com unless it simply isn't finding what I'm trying to find, & only then do I cross over to the machiavellian-search side, for a search's results..

Algorithmically-enforced polarization of humakind, into the only-ideological-terrorism-REMAINS .. extreme .. is certain, now, for this world.

But at-least money will have been made, while contributing to the extermination of this world's people, so there's that, I guess..

/s

bitter sarcasm, at that..

Intentionally enforcing ideological-polarization is contributing to genociding.

& ought be dealt-with exactly as such.

He's worked himself into a corner, & he HAS to have the spine to carry-through his economic-mass-shooting, now.

it takes 3y, btw, to get to the true-rock-bottom of a Great Depression,

so that should be in 2028, just in time for him to invoke "emergency measures" & remove the Constitution, so he can't be removed as dictator, anymore..

Psychological-reconfiguration takes time .. & that is significant, both in the changes that got him here, & also in the changes from here to where much of the West is butchered

( he wants to destroy the EU in a pincer between Putin & continental-Trump: that is why he requires both Canada & Greenland's annexation.

Also, once he's got Greenland, he can confiscate all trade to Canada, & break Canada quicker.

This is "being taken to the secondary-crime-scene" territory we're in, & politicians are not understanding this.

IF Canada still stands, when Trump falls, in 2031-ish, THEN I expect the total death-toll in the North American War to have been .. possibly 300,000,000?

That's early-next-decade, though. )

Maybe we need to find the spine to auto-lock/auto-ban all such enemy-agent bots.

WELL past-time we did-so.

Firefox 131, btw.

To replicate this bug,

go to https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32f091rc.html#documentation

tap-hold on one of the documents there,

download link..

Where is it?

It isn't in Downloads..

Firefox says it was downloaded successfully..

OK, so what happens if I Open it?

It opens!!

So, it's saving it to its cache,

& calling that "downloaded", or something??

It's bullying/wrong/abuse, is what it is.

BTW, it doesn't matter if I've tossed all my apps, then rebooted the tablet,

nor does it matter if I toss Firefox & on restarting it just try opening the document in a different private-tab ( open link in new private-tab ), then use the Download button in the top-left:

FF's still fucking me over for the documentation I'm trying to get.

It does seem to be a Heisenbug, intermittent & .. not obvious what the hell the key is, to make it predictable..

Last boot-session it had allowed me to get the Specs .pdf,

but then none of the Application Notes ( damn ALL of them ) appeared in the Downloads folder, when I checked..

Maybe it's seeing if the file has EVER been downloaded, or tried-to-download, & if so, it's vetoing my getting my hands on it?


( if anybody cares:

the Nucleo-64 boards that "Bare Metal C", a NoStarch Press book, works with, apparently include the Nucleo-F091RC board, which may be more powerful than the board that "Bare Metal C" was written for.

https://nostarch.com/bare-metal-c

I can't remember the details, but this particular board should be compatible, and have more memory, at least.

This microcontroller is the one on the Nucleo-F091RC board.

That is why I want to be reading the Reference Manual & the Programmer's Manual, & all the Application Notes for it..

Someday I'll be able to afford the hardware, too.. : )


PS: If this community wants my bug-report deleted from here,

( & obviously Mozilla removed their bug-reporting feature from Firefox/Android, to eradicate bug-reports from Android FF users )

then remove this, & that's fine.

I've no problem with either way:

world wants it gone,

XOR world permits the bug-report to exist.


_ /\ _

 

Maybe other people don't get the results I'm seeing, but it makes that page unusable in ff.

Brave has no problem rendering the page, though.

Anyways, since it seems to be a bug in ff, and I've learned that ff doesn't want any feedback from mobile-devices people, the bug report can be here,

or be deleted to not be fixed,

or whatever: I don't care, anymore.

Integrity requires that it be noted, but..

 

Also includes the "DevOps for the Desparate", "Linux Firewalls: Attack Detection and Response with iptables, psad, & fwsnort", "The Linux Command Line, 2nd Edition", "Absolute OpenBSD", "The Book of PF" ( I think that's for the BSD's ), "Designing Secure Software", "Practical ulnerability Management", "Eloquent JavaScript 3rd Edition", "The Practice of Network Security Monitoring", etc...

IF you can't afford the Safari subscription, which I presume would include all of these,

AND you want thorough competence in the fundamentals

THEN you really probably want to know some of these ones.

I'd require the current edition of "How Linux Works" as the bedrock understanding of anyone who wanted to be working SysAdmin or DevOps, anywhere, any time.

This entire bundle is the same price as "How Linux Works" alone is, in my local ebook platform.

Our ignorance costs us, right?

We can reduce the price it makes us, and our world, pay, through more competent knowing of our fundamentals:

don't allow mistakes, or faulty-process, or malicious-actors, any leverage, you know?

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen!
