Replace "open source" with "GPL" and I think you'd be correct.

Assuming the people who would have flown on that airline won't chose another option. Seems like a big (and incorrect) assumption.

Agreed. You're right, it is hypocritical. There was fierce fighting between two sides of the civil rights issue during that time though. We weren't doing enough, but many people were trying.

The point is that it's nothing but a deflection tactic, and I don't believe the people doing the lynching were typically the same people concerned about human rights abuses in the USSR. It's an oversimplification used to prev

I saw a ton of people sleeping on mattresses and blankets in German train stations last time I went. Were they just enjoying their freedom from the pressures of society? Maybe we should look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org&#

>Software hasn't decoupled economic growth from energy consumption, it has just made the energy consumption harder to see. You're going to have to explain that one. We can pretty trivially measure energy usage...

I've always heard Stripe is a great place to work as well. Have been considering applying for one of your remote positions. Congrats and keep it up!

It definitely does, just like so many VC funded companies, but they could afford to fix their deploys. The reddit back end is notoriously bad and, judging by their new UI, it isn't getting better.

Why did you give it access to Wi-Fi in the first place? I have a Samsung smart TV and I just skipped that step. Performing a HW mod seems unnecessary.

So... let me understand this... the flavors are literally Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops, right? What else would they put there? Do you think adults don't like sweet cereal? I don't think that is "obviously directed towards you

Nonsense. Honestly, how do people swallow the garbage argument that only children like sweet flavors? As you typed that out did you forget that you enjoy the taste of ice cream more than the ashes of a bonfire?

Kids drink a lot of alcohol too. Want to compare the numbers to alcohol related deaths for those under 21?

You don't have a clue. The alternative for many of (myself included) is cigarettes, not quitting. You can call us lazy, weak, whatever, it doesn't matter; we like smoking and we're not going to stop.

#1 you are just plain wrong about. Let's see your evidence. #2 is nonsense. I did it personally and you can hop on any vaping forum to find millions more.

Poor diet is literally killing people by the millions. Vaping has seen an acute outbreak of a problem affecting a tiny portion of people who vape which will almost certainly be traced back to a manufacturing problem.

And where is this actually happening? In what numbers? Too much nic in your juice isn't even enjoyable (it's incredibly harsh.) This is a make believe problem.

Nah. We won't see as many regulated mods, but plenty of less user friendly options are easy to make. In the early days of cartos and whatnot we used to make our own with very simple stuff.
