"almost all controversy would be removed from among Philosophers, if they were always to agree as to the meaning of words" (c)
One could say it was always the case, you can cut through bs and have a productive dialogue if you define the meaning of words before the message, i.e. scientific papers do that. The problem with that is that most people won't do it because its hard and on the other end you will get ostracized most of the time if you try doing that in casual conversations. This problem is even bigger in politics which is a game of large numbers and you have to be as stupid as possible for your message to reach the masses.
They are profitable for a few years now, afaik visa/master pays you a share of their profit each time customer makes a transaction(i.e. share of merchant fee). There are also credits, loans, exchange fees, subscription fees i.e. a lot products that make them money.
And its never going to work, at least in its current form. The problem is that some bricks will look the same from top while being different on the bottom. That produces wrong suggestions and you can only discover it when you checked all pieces that are needed for the suggested model. Perhaps it can work with basic collection of pieces, like Lego classic but it can't work with random heap I throw at it.
It will resolve some but it will probably add additional errors like confuse bricks from previous photo with each other. You need to separate pieces and take multiple shots like in that Lego-sorter video. You can probably get away with filming the bricks from different angles, preprocessing video and using that to feed into nn.
Occam's Razor tells us that the Russians acted to 1) stop the constant bombing and cultural suppression of the Russian speaking people in the east and south of Ukraine that had been ongoing since the US backed coup in 2014 and 2) to finally move against the build up of forces and weapons that the US had been pouring into Ukraine since the coup to trigger a war on Russia's border that they hoped would lead to the destruction and dismemberment of the Russian state itself (the openly stated goals of the US).
(In parenthesis, I will also note the very silly but oft-repeated mistake of conflating Putin with Russia in the comment above. Russia does not act on the whims or personal ambitions of Putin; indeed, Putin stays in power largely by responding to the needs and desires of the Russian people, and the pressure inside Russia for him to act against the existential threat building on the Russian/Ukrainian border has been very strong and he has faced criticism for not acting earlier.)
Occam's razor is the idea that, in trying to understand something, getting unnecessary information out of the way is the fastest way to the truth or to the best explanation (c) wiki
The explanation about dictator's desire for power(now also life) is more simple than geopolitics and cultural suppression.
And about the needs of the Russian people: I don't remember Russians having a debate about starting a full scale war. Maybe Putin thinks its what they need but if there was a real debate we can safely assume people would prioritize having in-house toilets and a million other things that are suddenly became not so important.
You are 'applying Occam's razor' to a fiction, not reality. Anyone can dream up a fiction (or take one supplied to them) and then draw a simplistic conclusion from it.
I'm applying explanation to a fact. "Fiction" is not the right property to categorize explanations, the right one would be "probability". So yes, anyone can dream up an explanation and then judge if one is more probable than the other.
That's what vendors will tell you but customers get visits from customs all the time. And in that unfortunate case you'll get charged with contraband plus everything they'll get on you on top of that. You probably won't have proper opsec and your house will be searched and electronics will be confiscated, plus there will be some surveillance prior to that. I'm not talking specifically about spores here, more about general onion shopping. Its easy to get in the mindset that nobody cares about a user but if you get unlucky your life will take quite a hit.
What country are you living in that has enough money to surveill average joe and kick in his door because he orders some small quantity of drugs? If you want to get dozents of users on the hook for possesion you could just raid a random nightclub, that's a thing that actually happens - but even that is rare.
