Not sure about jit requiring bigger highways. The components all need to be shipped sooner (and warehoused) or later (jit). Name amount of matter is transported either way.

I wonder how much of this is because of the OS?

But is ALL proprietary software malware merely because I don’t get the source? I could get the Linux source but it wouldn’t do me any good because I don’t know how to compile it. The whole thing is a silly argument. I pay for some softwa

Of all the possible things that might be expected, why is a copy of the source code the thing that stands out. If it’s on my machine why shouldn’t I expect excellent documentation, or configuration support, or build help, or features as I

How is this different from a crime that happens in the middle of nowhere somewhere else? There are lots of places with no inhabitants and no courts.

Some retail investors made money. The rest that are still jumping in will lose a lot as the stock returns to it’s correct price over time.

Is there any proof this pardon was purchased, or is it just assumed? Honest question.

Everyone has heard of Sherlock Holmes, but probably fewer (in the US) have ever heard of Father Brown. It’s a great series (from the BBC?) that I recommend to anyone looking for a nice calm detective series.

I don’t understand how they can do that? Who trades with them for fake money? Edit: Just because I say I have a billion dollars doesn’t mean someone will trade a billion dollars worth of anything with me, so who does with Tether?

I know of a few cases where this has happened. In one case the parents were abusive, so this is on them. The other case was great parents and an immature youth. With time that youth will mature and come around when he recognizes the good

I think he meant that we’ll not see a huge amount of increased art and beauty. Instead, and I think, we’ll see more consuming of entertainment (video games and youtube).

When I saw the title I thought of people I know who have “crazy eyes” (as I’ve heard it called). I can’t even define what it is, but know it when I see it, and often that person seems off somehow. I’ve been trying to decide for a while if

I’m a believer in science - was a physics major in college. However, I find the hubris in science distasteful. Theories are treated like facts. Also, words like “we know” are used, and then a decade later that knowledge turns out to be w

It seems like the players should want their stats out there. Erasing a player from a dataset makes it like they didn’t even play which would probably hurt their career.

I’ll share one I’ve been pondering for 30 years since my geometry teacher told me it’s impossible: It’s not possible to trisect an arbitrary angle using only a straightedge and compass.

That and you can instantly find a huge tribe. In the past you had to deal with others around you as well, which challenged ideas. Now you plug in to this huge tribe of anonymous people around the world and assume you’ve found the truth.

Wouldn’t there be more human trafficking as the underworld would need to make up for lost revenue from drugs?

Just be sure when you define a racist that they actually are, rather than just by association.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. You sound just like one of my good friends.

In my opinion, the problem is everyone thinks these things apply to others but not to themselves. There isn’t enough honest introspection.

Herd immunity means roughly 70% of a population has antibodies so the chance to spread to new hosts is low.

Doesn’t herd immunity for a country of 350 million need somewhere on the order of 220 million to have been exposed and recovered? I don’t think we’re anywhere near that yet.

That will also require removing seat belt and motorcycle helmet laws and probably many others meant to protect ourselves. The problem is few decisions ever affect only the one making the decision when families and society are involved.
