Microplastics can accumulate in human organs, especially the kidneys and the liver. It could take some time for microplastic accumulation in internal organs to cause serious health issues. I don't know about you, but I'm not comfo

There's a difference of degree and a difference of kind. In Europe, there are standards and tests that are performed before something is deemed to be "safe" enough to be sold to the public. Look at the supplements industry in

The bottles themselves are suspicious and have been implicated [1]. All plastics have been found to leech chemicals, including PET [2] which is used for bottled water. If you think that in a typical warehouse or storage facility (before it

I'm wondering which version of San Pellegrino they tested, since it also comes in a glass bottle. It is probable that a significant contamination factor is the plastic bottle itself, which would explain why San Pellegrino is low on the

Individuals may or may not have agency, but it doesn't amount to much. Climate change is but the tiniest and most benign of the forces Land is evoking. We're dealing with an emergent runaway overseer: globe-spanning positive feedb

You and almost everybody else in this thread are missing the core of the idea, which stems from Land, and tries to hammer in the fact that humanity has no agency. Rather than being a philosophy of our continued evolution - things we do - ,

I really don't understand this line of reasoning unless you're shilling for Google. "Nothing stop you from using..." "Chromium is open source..." "Nothing stop Mozilla and Apple.." There is a behemoth

I can’t take this answer seriously. Assuming half of what you claim were true, it would still be terrible for us to cede control of the future to Google. Of course the grim reality is that none of your claims are even remotely true. This is

Read the reviews on Amazon. It's not a good book, the author makes embarrassing mistakes to the point where you start questioning his programming knowledge.

Reflection on the surface of water doesn't pass muster, it's impossible given the pilot reports. There is a multitude of events that are _all_ correlated in time and space. So opposite to what you say, there is a lot to connect th

ICMP is used by the server in order to find out the IP of the client. Then they switch to UDP. This method does not work without ICMP. Now, of course you can use outgoing UDP in probe fashion instead of ICMP, but that's again most prob

This is old technique from early 2000 and flawed as others have described. Outgoing ICMP is blocked in every corporate environment I have ever been to and never makes it to the Internet facing gateway.

Wait until the AIs get a little better at forensics. Might not be wise to post comments you wouldn't want to come back at you at a forum that doesn't let you delete them, pseudonymous - for now - or not.

Doing the same. I will also make sure to let them know why. I'm disgusted by MIT, FSF and everyone who's entered this witch hunt asking for blood.

Actually you lose quite a lot, which is of course everything that requires a graphical environment. Examples include smooth pixel-based scrolling (see my other reply below), extensive image support everywhere (e.g. EWW/elfeed/GNUS

It does have smooth scrolling. On macOS (Emacs mac port), it's the same inertia-based scrolling that every other system app is using and on Linux pixel-based smooth scrolling was added for Emacs 26.

Emacs is not by any stretch terminal-based. It can work in a terminal, but it also fully supports graphical environments. In fact, I dare say that most Emacs users use the graphical rather than the terminal version. Example: https:/&#

This is terrible, I hope it doesn't catch on. There is absolutely no reason for a text format here, especially one as naive and inefficient as this. Binary messages that include size and version _at the beginning_ would be the expected

Now imagine what level of contamination is going on in supplements which are completely unregulated in the US (unlike the EU).

You can program perfectly fine in CL without using CLOS. TCO is not part of the standard, but most implementations have it. All the widely used implementations have it. People use it and it is certainly not frowned upon.

There is no alternative, other than not voting. The political parties in the USA are not the issue, since they are both playing for the same team (big banks and corporations). It is unfathomable to many that Obama (either through naivety or
