@auxiliarywits Beautiful moment bro

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

I've always envied people who dance.

Not people who can dance, but people who live with a rhythmic beat in their hearts and groove in their souls.

Terence Tao gets a tiny taste of what the average American worker went through when we offshored all their factory jobs to China and imported 100M foreigners to take whatever jobs were left, and he immediately decides that all technological progress must cease and Heaven and Earth must move so that he can keep his job.

In fact he’s not even really getting a taste, since even after AI has made him useless, he will still be rich and famous. He will probably never turn to fentanyl or drink himself to death in despair of ever providing for his family.

A good reminder that the “elites” who destroyed this country are the most cowardly and self-centered people to ever exist.

[Clavicular @clavicular]

Let me give you a basic education on Islam.

I will not insult you, despite you not only eating pork, drinking alcohol, and committing takfir on thousands on your stream, but also demanding that Allah send me and my Duel colleagues to burn in Hell for eternity.

This is not Islam. You can take a page out of Christ's book and be better than this.

You argue that zero edge gambling (which only Duel provides) is haram because gambling is haram. By your logic, all forms of investing would also be haram. Investing in stocks, trading, buying property, or investing in people's businesses. At face value this could not be true, so let's actually examine the scriptures you failed to ever read.

First is the principle of Mutual Consent (4:29 in the Quran), which states "Do not consume one another's wealth for nothing, but let there be trade by mutual consent." Zero edge gambling is a trade being made entirely with mutual consent for both parties.

"Gain goes with liability for loss" (al-ghunm bi-l-ghurm, Majallah art. 87) is the clear provision proving that taking risks is absolutely allowed in the Quran. It is through this underlying principle that Muslims are able to invest and take risk. What is not permitted is taking destructive risk, like gambling at casinos other than Duel, which have a house edge and thus a negative expected value on your money.

This is widely accepted by scholars. Without accepting this provision, you are calling every Islamic stock investor a kaffir. Every Islamic entrepreneur a kaffir. We both know that risk does not equal haram.

"No harm, and no reciprocating harm" (Ibn Mājah 2341). "Matters are judged by their aims" (Majallah art. 2; Bukhārī 1) are further principles from the Prophet outlining that when entertainment and recreation arise from the activity, the harms the laws guard against simply never arise. Recreation is Sunnah, and harm is the test. You wouldn't know this, but the Prophet raced young Aisha and let her watch the Abyssinians play in the mosque, as a form of entertainment and recreation. That was considered value to him.

I could get into several further scriptures and examples, such as the Hanafis already allowing two sided race bets once a third rider with 0 stakes is added (very similar to what Duel already provides with the audit server system), but it's been well accepted by any reasonable Islamic scholar taking a full assessment of the situation that zero edge gambling, and only zero edge specifically, as is available on Duel, is completely halal.

To explain it more simply so that someone of your caliber can understand: the Quran banned gambling as a practice because it bred hatred and ate wealth for nothing. A risk-taking activity without the expected downside, zero house edge, with mutual consent, fairly capped at 50/50, and purchased for enjoyment (thus making the expected value positive), does neither. Even you probably know "the default in all things is permissibility" (al-aṣl fī al-ashyāʾ al-ibāḥah, al-Suyūṭī, al-Ashbāh wa-l-Naẓāʾir) rule...

My fatwa is grounded in actual scripture and Islamic text. You on the other hand constantly make a fool of yourself by never knowing even the basics of "your" religion.

Instead of working with the angels and spreading love (which you could do with your platform), you constantly commit haram activities. You invoke Allah's name to condemn our people at Duel to hell. Constantly. You call Muslims kaffirs, which is a worse Islamic sin than anything we have ever done. You posted a video depicting a man putting up a flag of Islamic terrorism and deleted it shortly afterward. You have been insulting White Christians non stop, making fun of Christianity, and asserting that Islam will impose itself in every household forcibly.

None of this is peace or love. None of this is what Allah wanted (and we worship the same God, just with different names). Educate yourself.

And the speed REALLY MATTERS. Ramping up war capabilities over many years can have significant impact on diplomacy standings.

Notwithstanding the IMMENSE economic effect of being converted into war economy for YEARS, and maybe a decade.

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

But… they’re right… only in terms of total potential though.

But not about how quick they can reach that level. Unlike WW2, modern weapons are much more complex, and current factories are also hyper-specific.

[Naz @nazbowling102]

The comments are so aggressively proving my point that it borders on comedy

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

You can’t just ask the overwhelming majority of the modern factories to be like “hey make drones, NOW”

the supply chains are complex enough that governments don’t even have complete visibility into every lower-tier supplier and bottleneck.

I live in Texas, junior.

And where I live, we don't lock our doors at night because we pray every evening to God above to bless us with at least one stupid intruder. Just one. Just one dumbassed intruder for us to waste with the 120 rounds of 7.62x39 we keep loaded in separate magazines for just such a blessed ocassion.

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

Betapa bodohnya kita bahwa kita memutuskan untuk memperparah masalah ini dengan zonasi

Maybe the most important thing you learn by attending public school is that we are all at the mercy of the bottom quintile. The rules you follow in life will be based on the behavior of the bottom quintile, the taxes you pay are to support the bottom quintile, the greatest risks to your life and property will come from the bottom quintile, the dearth of comfortable public spaces is because you have to allow the bottom quintile to be there, our zoning laws are developed for fear of the bottom quintile.

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

Dukung banget. Zonasi yang ketat adalah kebijakan terburuk dalam edukasi Indonesia sepanjang 2 dekade terakhir.

Kekurangan implementasi kurikulum 2013 gaada apa apanya dibanding ini.

[Ali 👊🏻 @mhuseinali]

Ada paper tentang "ilusi sekolah elit".

Temuannya, murid yang masuk sekolah elit emang udah kuat akademisnya karena udah disaring duluan pake test ini itu.

Trus diuji, gimana kalau murid yang juga kuat akademisnya dimasukin sekolah biasa?

Jawabannya, gak ada bedanya. Sekolah elit atau gak elit, murid yang akademiknya kuat, trajektorinya sama aja.

Gaada "Value Added" dari sekolah elit buat murid-murid pintar ini.

Sekolahnya jelek, saringannya aja yang bagus.

Makanya aku dukung zonasi, sekaligus upaya pemerataan pendidikan.

Yang aku lihat, orang desperate sama upaya pemerintah kasih pendidikan merata, tapi solusi yang diambil yang justru cuma ilusi.

Masih dukung sekolah favorit?

I read it in a different tone tbh. Malah ngerasanya kyk the writer is frustrated with Acemoglu.

Kayak “What are you, really?”

[Yoes C. Kenawas @yoeskenawas]

Kritik terhadap karyanya valid sih. Tapi artikelnya sendiri kaya lebih ke clickbait. Isinya sebenernya kurang lebih sama dengan kehidupan sehari-hari di kelas pasca-sarjana di Amerika. Setiap karya ilmiah pasti ada kelemahannya. Tapi bukan berarti otomatis karyanya jadi ga valid.

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

Please refer to the chart made by CGP Grey

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

Easiest heurestic-nya adalah semakin deket/ngaruh kerjaan lu ke revenue, semakin penting dan tinggi gaju lu walaupun suatu bisnis gabisa berjalan tanpa their entire organization working berbarengan.

It’s as simple as that.

[Radja Thaher @radjathaher]

Sales gajinya bisa lebih gede daripada CEO, tapi fresh grad skrg katanya pada ga mau jadi sales

Kerja sbg cost center (misal: HR, finance, support function lainnya, PM, designer, software engineer, etc) lebih rawan layoff daripada kerja sbg revenue generator (misal: sales, etc)

[Rama Vandika D. @Rama__21]

Roughly, just ask yourself that if I drop my performance by 10% how much would the company suffer?
