And behaviour like this is an obvious precursor to antivaxer conspiracies. If you or your peers become known as bad actors, it's no wonder you eventually are suspected (even falsely) of being a bad actor in unrelated situations. Combin

Fascinating that at least according to this video death and dieing appears to be a process instead of an event, even for unicellular organisms. After I learned it was a process, I imagined this was the case only for pluricelular organisms.

Religious fan-fics are really cool. I did something like this too at some point a long time ago. I think this provides a very interesting opposing force to dogma. It also enables you to easily one-up conspiracy theorists when you encounter

Can you expand on why you see activities 2 - 6 as music discovery? In all those cases, I would probably be listening to known music, not discovering new music. I for one, would probably pay the same for Spotify even if it did not offer musi

Indeed, in postcommunist nations you are more likely to see a division between left-leaning traditionalist conservatives and right-leaning progressives. This was much more obvious decades ago. As time went on, left and right sort of lost me

They can make all forms of contraception illegal and afterwards deal with a whole new category of unpredicted selfinflicted social issues.

It is at least neutral in terms of not favouring one profit making entity instead of another. The Document Foundation and contributing developers are not better off or worse off if a public school district uses LibreOffice or not. It simply

I believe somewhere in here lies a fundamental problem with today's society. We have reached an absurd level of polarization. Any opinion you hold that is in contradiction with someone else's opinion, qualifies you for membership

Will you open source this? If yes, i would like to contribute another language. Also, since this is supposed to be pseudocode, maybe it would be better to replace the atribution operator with something else, and the comparison operators wit

Why do I even bother replying? I don't know. Thank you for the mind reading, the fortune telling, the portrait you have drawn. Your clairvoyance knows no limmits. Should I expect a biography next?

I will answer your last question. Apple absolutely does not respect your freedom. They infringe on your freedom. Depending on the definition of ethical, they are vastly less ethical than the FSF. But they also never claimed to be ethical. T

Wow, we reached the point where Lukashenkos word is used as an argument. I never imagined this on HN. I believe it is entirely reasonable to condition pandemic funds on taking actions against the pandemic. Also I believe there are many reas

I believe a degree of conflict between governments and corporations is welcome. What is worse for citizens/users/people/consumers? A world in which corporations and governments are at war or one in which they ar colluding?

Additionally, version control looks nothing like a tree, but oftentimes we have a trunk. Computer scientists are bad botany.

Maybe just like the title, the distinction is whether you interpret root as in the plant part or as in the data structure. In a plant, starting from the trunk, and going towards the source, a root branches into smaller and smaller bits. On

Maybe that IS the reason some services treat it as an illegal character. They know how Gmail works and want to prevent you from figuring out what they do with your email.

People have raised these concerns. I have personally raised this concern directly to RMS at one of his conferences. It gets ignored. I believe it is for the same reason religions ignore issues. The FSF totally acts as a religion. The church

Sandboxing and fencing off untrusted parts is fine. I find the approach of Librem 5 understandable. However the distinction between blob on chip flash and blob on system storage is nonsensical to me. I would much rather have a sandboxed unt
