> likely to be convinced by the govt attempting to rescind support from me? Except rescinding support for anyone who would have qualified was never even discussed. The question is about making an exception to _extend_ support to a group

So how long before someone starts buying up covid tests to strip these out again and resell to the supply chain challenged?

Yeah, perhaps the intent is to just get people interested and bootstrap an eventual printing via merch sales? It would seem a bit lacking in context without the video intro, though, to understand that it wasn't necessarily meant to be

I wish at least for cables/connectors they'd done both male & female pinouts and standard footprint layouts vs having a bunch of ortho projections of a cable that don't really add any value.

> It was originally designed to be a physical book but we realized it made more sense to be downloadable Kinda wish they'd stuck with that. It feels like they made a bunch of decisions in the design that made sense in that context

Where's the data and the original questions? This seems like a lot of dubious interpretation of data we can't see and possibly wasn't terribly well collected in the first place. I feel like I have just reached the point that

Yeah, I don't think RDP was supported at all on the workstation sku (though it _could_ be made to work w/o support or a legal license) and I think may have been an additional license cost on the base server, then only included on

I think that's part of the point -- you get to draw that line and decide if you're more in favor of promoting your favorite over all others vs opposing your least favorite. Where you decide to put your approval mark favors one vs

Sawant and her supporters have had a pretty loose relationship with the truth in general, so I wouldn't put too much stock in that. It seems far more likely that if it's specifically in response to recent events that it's act

Doesn't using a one-hex-per-state model basically defeat most of the benefits of using hexagons in the first place? This seems like a bit of cargo-culting the idea that hexagons are good for maps without actually understanding why.

XP was the first that shipped the RDP server in the base... before that you pretty much needed to go up to one of the server SKUs of the OS, or buy third party remote access software. It also added a bunch of newer parts of 802.11 that were

I thought they were supposed to disrupt the whole industry of evaluating building structures while developing a react app to drive trains remotely as a side hustle?

It's a _standalone_ headset, though... so more equivalent to spending 2k on a laptop.

So why not a "dead billionaire tax"? The heirs to fortunes seem likely to get even less sympathy than the ones who actually built them.

You also pretty commonly hear the opposite, too, though -- that there are too many sobriety/no on premise consumption rules that people are unwilling or unable to comply with so won't even consider shelters assuming that to be the

> just want to exist in the world as most other animals do Any wild animal causing the same level of danger, disruption, and nuisance in cities would promptly be hunted/poisoned/trapped. Not sure that's a great direction.

But it doesn't _stop_ being FOSS... it just stops getting the backing of the business. This is no different an outcome than if the business simply failed after seven years, which is also always a possibility.

Not sure if you're being intentionally hyperbolic... But stimulus checks alone (ie free money for everyone under the income threshold of $75k) were over $3000 per person. Additional unemployment was hundreds of dollars _per week_, on t

yeah, I still have a 5 around for my 32 bit sparc machine... 4s were worse, and I dunno if I ever used a 6. The 5 is well built, great caps, looks pretty, interesting and mostly good layout... I just could never be happy with those domes, a

It will be abused, but hopefully at least some people might feel ashamed at such abuse and not go through with it when they have to do so on an individual basis.

Several of those are essentially required to get a university degree already... so for many people I'm not sure an additional requirement would significantly help things, but it also couldn't hurt. Less transmission of disease in

I don't think it's as common any more, but for many years a lot of states had "tip credit" laws (which were strongly supported/lobbied for by the restaurant industry) that allowed companies to pay tipped employees l
