No I am serious, if you are comparing murders, you should include all weapons! There are regional differences! Fire arms are heavily regulated and relatively hard to get in EU. We are close to war zones, hand grenades are easier to smuggle,

Try to stay there for a month, in shady part of town! Current goverment is at least trying to police those places!

Not best approach, some places are empty outside of narrow tourist season.

Yet another reason to skip US on travel. In EU I may get like extra 3 euro council tax for staying at hotel. In US even basic stuff, like going to restaurant for dinner, is "an experience" that requires reservation and generous ba

Feral cats are very similar to rats. They eat garbage, spread disease and destroy wildlife.

Ok, imagine following scenario: - You started using product - One year latter ASF stops existing, apache.org returns 404 or viagra ads. - Two years latter, original FSL gets terminated, your new license for that software are 404 errors or v

Yes, they could put extra paragraphs that become valid after 2 years, that would be OK. But the way it is written, it changes existing license! Effectively making a new release! You can not do that in EU, what if user does not agree with th

I am not sure this is legal in my country! In Czechia "release" is a legal act done by author(or right holder). You can do it by uploading code on Github etc.. But it is something author did themselfs. You can not perform legal ac

Contract can be international and are enforceable! It would be a huge problem for possible future exports, if there was liability with GPLv2 violations!

It is easier to use *BSD for something like that. It is smaller, more consistent, you are not forced to release your changes...

And is that really a problem? Infrastructure ages and needs to be refreshed. Look at NYC, how old "land improvements" get stuck.

Money do expire! There is inflation... I would like similar system for land ownership and buildings. Property taxes at level of 5%. In China land can not be owned, but only leased for 70 years.

Too complicated, just let it blink at 50hz and synchronise with electric grid!

I am in Czechia, pretty expensive, but I heat with electricity anyway (don't ask). If you want machine with 8 real CPU cores, 128GB RAM, 8TB SSD storage... It only take 110 Watts under full load. Electricity cost compared to cloud fees

At home I have a small server farm of cheap Ryzen PCs. Mostly continuous integration and testing for open source projects, but also some LLM. If I have some idea, I just throw it into farm and see results a few days later. It is slower than

With LLM I could rephrase my argument, in away that you would actually listen. Right now you just filter it out, because it does not fit your narrative and social circle. It gives me a chance to fit it, and speak your "English dialect&

I don't really understand why China would even invade Taiwan. They would be killing "their own" people, and destroying "their own" infrastructure (by their perception). Much better option is some sort of economic wa

You get the same benefits from water fasting, but without kidney stones. And you give a chance to your gut to heal. There is a clinic True North, they do medically supervised fasting, and have a bunch of studies.

Please tell me what "mildly unconfortable" solution is there for stage 4 cancer that *metastases* into brain? I only know of chemotherapy! People try diets (I prefer extended water fasting), because it affects everything! If cance

There is a rumour that several years ago some tools were dropped on purpose. Because astronaut did not liked to stay on orbit, and he/she wanted to return to Earth ahead of schedule.
