Several Dutch people told me that firearms are common on ships under the Dutch flag. Given the number of people owning sea-worthy vessels this might be interesting. Do you know anything about this?

This might be OK depending on your location and the government system in place. Voting for a single person that has to answer all questions sounds like UK or US to me.

Take a look at the Finnish or the Dutch parliament. 7, 8, 16 parties there? Independent (no-party) politicians too. Each one of them is free to represent people with specific needs and only focus on that.

Also keep in mind that some questions like "healthcare" and "welfare" may be less relevant too. It can be pretty much resolved (you can always promise to "increase doctors' wages by 30%!"). More specific issues remain.

MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research

The article was published 3 days after the arxiv release. How is this an "exclusive preview"?

Successfully tricking existing models by a few crafted samples doesn't seem like a significant achievement. Can someone highlight what exactly is interesting here? Anything that can't be resolved by routine adjustments to loss/evaluation functions?

They don't have to cover everything. Pirate Parties often ally with other parties that cover other specific problems, e.g. Piratenpartij & De Groenen ("Pirate Party" and "The Greens" alliance) in Netherlands, and they work well together.

😒 Even though I am a slim 2-meter tall blonde blue-eyed rude narcissistic guy with a strong Dutch accent living in Amsterdam, eating sandwiches for lunch, even though I can ride a bike and skipper a ship in any weather with equal ease, and I do enjoy making fun of Brits, I am not Dutch. I also drink more tea than you do :P

Boring fact: it's also "sit like a Turk" or "sit the Turkish way" in Russian (сидеть по-турецки).

Now I'm curious what they say in Turkish.

UPD: me and @[email protected] are referring to the Lotus position which is what it is called in Turkish.

Yay vocaroo! Can someone record the same phrase in British?

Yes they do.

Bird that does not live up to its name: tit.

Estonian edition (I'm not a native speaker): viinamäetigu. Not related to any alcohol (viin), does not live on mountains (mäe), mostly found outside of vineyards (viinamäe). At least it is a snail (tigu).

There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don't need to see what's in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.
