You should direct the question to the computer if you want a meaningful answer.

Anything for good PR for a military budget.

Welcome to corporate media where spin IS the substance! At least it’s not “terrorism”, “democracy”, “national security”, or “freedom” related. Why can’t Facebook keep track of its own bikes? Cops don’t scale like gps does.

I’m not seeing the productivity gains anyway, buddy, I work for minimum wage and you’re barking up the wrong tree. Growth doesn’t matter if it doesn’t reach the people.

> - Do you want to live on more than USD 17.3k per annum? By itself this is meaningless. What does it buy where you are? Most places that’s more than enough to live comfortably. Anyway, money is only useful to decide who starves.

Presumably by disabling it on the workstations of security researchers. Or just the feature that flags linked content rather than content itself.

In my experience even the best of package managers are fundamentally ill suited for deployments because of assumptions about use cases.

I interpreted the above comment to be about general purpose computers, not mobile.

Hey I am just describing interfaces, I don’t care about how it hits the disk. Filesystems are certainly nothing to get excited about; links are a dirty hack to get around a forced tree anyway.

Sure, but that doesn’t explain how you magically remember where you stored the file. I suppose it does help with making you unable to store files in the root directory and forcing you to store it somewhere with some meaning. This seems like

Err isn’t this a problem remembering your file hierarchy as well? Search is the answer in both scenarios.

Not only that but a big pitch of the tablet itself is to get the desktop web browsing experience.

You might be able to detect acceleration at point of impact if it’s at an angle to the velocity at point of impact. This is assuming the mass driver is allowing the asteroid to fuel its own acceleration via mass drivers + a fuel source, not

The bible prohibits many things that never really took root as social mores; I think the transition into society is super fascinating and arguably is an invention of sorts.

This depends on the process of manufacturing and the stability of the trade network. What industry does not benefit from redundancy and locality? Efficiency is only one thing to optimize. > Where externalities are correctly priced, and w

Male on male sex was also a fact of life across many Christian communities, including/especially with monks, eunuchs, and other segregated communities, and people were certainly not frequently put to death for this. You can look up med

It’s also a hell of a lot more complicated than that. Investing is only one income source, and companies like Amazon and Walmart are counter examples to my own reduction. I think there are cultural elements at play here on why more companie

I also recommend Adam Curtis’s four part documentary “The Century of the Self”, the first episode of which is here: https://youtu.be/DnPmg0R1M04 The first episode deals exclusively with Bernays, and the following three epis

I agree wholeheartedly, actually. I was writing in shorthand.

As laid out in Manufacturing Consent, the understanding is implicit, not explicit. I would classify this as ideological, not conspiratorial.

In the long term a supply chain that is predominantly local will consume fewer resources and be more resilient to disruption. This isn’t always possible but the incentives you’re referring to are only because us corporations optimize short

Presumably you’d want to look for a comparison in the context of the state’s needs. Googling for floppy disk reliability won’t tell you much by itself.

In reality, most people don’t have goods that are easily liquidated to make the b&e worth it in the first place. Most houses are are not at risk from professional thieves. Most houses certainly wouldn’t stand up to sustained penetration

A thief would surely just disconnect the modem if this were an issue. This can even be done before entering the house in most cases. Cutting power might be even easier. It’s truly fascinating imagining the crimes that ring could document.

What is a scenario that would illustrate the difference? On paper third party cookie just means “any cookie from another domain”. How would you read another domain’s cookie without some feature that explicitly allows it, like the Chrome fea

Why are cross site cookies allowed at all? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just disable them entirely?

If that outlook is “is it ok to treat this person as a lower class of person”, then you should stand up for your values. Not all cultural relativism must end with blind acceptance.

It’s still racism even if it’s culturally acceptable.
