Any reason you can't just add whatever is missing from the British flour?

Since you have deja vu, you could add Jamais vu, the opposite. Also prosopagnosia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosopagnosia

Can this be used with a 23andMe genome to find pathogenic mutations?

The feed options sound good in principle, although I expect the implementation to be deliberately hobbled. I've tried Facebook's existing (well hidden) chronological feed and it turns out there's so much spam in local groups

Have fable "accidentally" escape containment and publish it.

I would add it was also completely ineffective since the site in question was hosted on wordpress.com, which is about as likely to work as ddosing Google.

At the very least it would be reckless.

Yes, I was referencing the concept defined by that book, it was extremely prophetic.

In theory the monroe doctrine, as it was originally written, requires the USA to remain neutral on existing colonies. It only prohibits the expansion of European colonies in the Americas.

By "contribute back" I was referring more generally to the commons. The chrome example actually proves my point, the KDE project, or anyone for that matter, can take the changes Google made to their code. If KHTML was MIT it&#x27

NC is a huge pain as it can be difficult to define commercial use, and it's often defined differently in different countries. https://freedomdefined.org/Licenses/NC https://www.techdirt.com/2014&#x

The current argument AI owners use is that it falls under fair use as "transformative use", so the licence is entirely irrelevant. If that wasn't the case anything trained on GPL code would have to be released under the GPL.

How does MIT build any more trust than a copyleft licence like AGPL? At the very least AGPL stops people "stealing" your work without contributing back their changes?

The usual way I've seen it work is using the AGPL. AGPL doesn't bar use in commercial production, but the requirements usually scare off any corporate from using it in production.

How hard would it be to do the opposite? point a camera at the stars in multiple directions, recognise the angle of various constellations, and use that to work out your location?

Jujutsu is apparently the name of a version control system, for anyone else confused how the creator of a thousand year old martial art had joined them.

> It was retired on July 28th, 2026. Why does it seem like the US always retires useful hardware and replaces it with less useful hardware? The complete lack of frigates in the US navy is another example of this.

I was hoping for the same. If we're going to live in a cyberpunk dystopia we could at least have some cool anarchist tools to go with it.
