Good quote: On elections http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26174/good-quote-on-elections Wed, 15 Sep 2021 14:19:38 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26174@/talks/discussions

Only scoundrels or fools can think that the proletariat must first win the majority in elections carried out under the yoke of the bourgeoisie, under the yoke of wage slavery, and then must win power. This is the height of stupidity or hypocrisy; it is the replacement of the class struggle and revolution with votes under the old system, under the old regime.

V. Lenin

Mordor: Degradation of education http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26172/mordor-degradation-of-education- Wed, 15 Sep 2021 10:27:22 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26172@/talks/discussions

In the spring of this year, only 43% of eleventh graders were thinking about going to universities, a year earlier they were 48%, and in 2010 - 80%. How many of the current 43% will make their dream come true and pass rigorous university selection? It is good if at least two thirds or 70% (approximate statistics of past years). Is this a lot, considering that more than half give up the struggle for higher education in the ninth grade? It was not possible to find exact statistics for 2021, but, according to data from different regions, it can be assumed that this summer, after nine years of schooling, from 55 to 60% of children left school. A certain number of children cease to be schoolchildren after grade 8. Roughly speaking, out of 100 schoolchildren, only 40 go to the tenth, out of these 40, only 17 (43%) decided to enter a university, of these 17, 12 people (70%) will enroll. And someone else will leave the race after the next session, someone will not be able to pay - let's round the number of lucky ones to 10.

10 out of 100 people will be able to get university degree in Russia in the coming years. And not all ofuniversities are good. And most are not free. Ten out of a hundred!

Weekend sex: Women regret having had one night stand sex, but just want more of the same http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26169/weekend-sex-women-regret-having-had-one-night-stand-sex-but-just-want-more-of-the-same Sun, 12 Sep 2021 10:47:33 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26169@/talks/discussions

In several recent papers the sex difference in regret predicted by sexual strategies theory has been supported: men more than women report regret passing up short-term sexual opportunities (inaction regret), while women regret having had sexual encounters (action regret). However, the adaptive function of regret, to improve future behavioral choices, has not been tested. In this first longitudinal test of behavioral change following regret, we consider whether regret actually results in adaptive shifts of behavior: will men who regret passing up sex engage in more short-term sex following regret? Will women who regret short-term encounters either choose better quality partners, reduce number of one-night stands or shift their strategy to long-term relationships? Across two waves (NT1 = 399, 65.4% women and NT2 = 222, 66.2% women) students responded to questions about casual sex action regret and inaction regret, along with possible outcomes, intrapersonal traits, and concurrent contextual predictors. There was no clear evidence for the proposed functional shifts in sexual behavior. Casual sex regret was associated with respondent sex and stable individual differences, such as sociosexual attitudes, regret processing and metacognitions, but the effect of these predictors were not consistent across the two waves. Among the tested concurrent contextual predictors, sexual disgust was the most consistent across waves. Regret is considered a gauge of the value and quality of the short-term sexual encounter. However, tentatively we conclude that after this first test of function using longitudinal data, we find no evidence of a mating strategy shifting effect following sexual regret.

Apple: App Store is not what you though http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26165/apple-app-store-is-not-what-you-though Fri, 10 Sep 2021 21:29:01 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26165@/talks/discussions

According to the Epic-Apple case ruling, revenues from gaming applications account for about 70% of all App Store revenues. The court stated that less than 10% of the app store's users generate that 70% of the revenue. Plus, over 80% of all accounts generate no revenue for Apple at all, and 80% of all apps in the App Store are free.

And note that around 90% of gaming revenues are generated by games made by large or huge companies.

War: Xiaomi started mass blocking smartphones http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/26164/war-xiaomi-started-mass-blocking-smartphones Fri, 10 Sep 2021 20:25:26 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 26164@/talks/discussions

Over the past months, users have reported several times about blocking Xiaomi smartphones in a particular region, but since last week, the number of blocks has increased significantly.

Restricted users report that the devices display a message: “It is Xiaomi policy that the product is not sold in the territory where you tried to activate it. For more information, please contact the retailer directly. "

At the moment, there is no complete list of countries and regions that have problems using Xiaomi devices. It is only known that problems arise among users in Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea and Sudan, as well as in Crimea.
