Things fall apart? They were overrated anyway. Replace all things with processes, and "falling apart" will just be one process among many.

What's this you're telling me? The center cannot hold? By god! With enough bomb craters it damn well will hold water, at least!

I guess "conservative" means Retvrn to the times before Woke Socrates and his "the unexamined life is not worth living" bullshit.

Rapid amyloid-Ξ² clearance and cognitive recovery through multivalent modulation of blood–brain barrier transport - Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy - Rapid amyloid-Ξ² clearance and cognitive recovery through multivalent modulation of blood–brain barrier transport

🧠 Alzheimer’s reversed in mice

A new study found that injecting nanoparticles can 'remind' the blood–brain barrier to function properly again, restoring normal brain activity in mice. Human trials could follow within years.

It does seem like you could differently source your men, somehow. (? o/c haven't tried myself!)

But OTOH ... yes - men, also, would have much more fulfilling lives if collectively we could escape the numbing weight of patriarchal models somehow.

Ah -- you're right! My apologies - my CS brain is used to thinking of it as O(n^2) (where the constant gets eaten by the "big O") so I just plunked in a 2 for the directed arrows.

The media has barely covered this. Imagine if it was a conservative judge who had ruled in favor of Trump. We'd never hear the end of it.

πŸ’”πŸ“Ή In Kyiv, a father met his newborn son for the first time under heartbreaking circumstances. During a Russian strike on the city β€” Vadym and Tetiana Sakiyan β€” were gravely injured. Doctors had to perform an emergency delivery to save the baby. Tragically,the mother did not survive.

yeah ... (though also there are possible links in both directions) you get the exponential by counting the total number of graphs over those links.

There are constraints on what sort of graphs you are allowed.

Hmm... there are e = n^2 undirected edges, 2e directed edges. So ... 2^(2e) possible graphs? But ... information density? That is 2e bits (whether or not one account follows another). But (perhaps s.o. knows better) AFAIK research shows "power law scaling" - so presumably to keep it undetectable
