What are "we" if we're not biological? What is there to separate from the biological substrate into "pure compute" substrate?

Well that's kinda the reason _for_ the line. Climate change kills people. "Save the planet" is too vague, it's disempowering.

That's disingenuous misdirection. The current change is a threat to humanity of our own making.

It comes across as obnoxious because it means "I feel uncomfortable around people I consider unintelligent compared to me". The discomfort may be true but it demonstrates an absence of self-reflection. There are many varieties of

Huh. I just noticed this reply. Very odd. I certainly wouldn't equate Brevik with the Taliban. I've no idea what your point is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_Taliban

Yeah similar, magit has never felt intuitive to me. FWIW, I have Emacs open in one terminal and lazygit open in another, with lazygit using Delta.

In other universes the more fortunate versions of yourself are eagerly collapsing waves because things just keep getting better :)

Perhaps there's a typo. I interpreted it as "brain being carried around _in_ a meat sack".

I'm not following your point, or are you 'just asking questions'? Pakistan is certainly a place some people would want to flee from, Malala Yousafzai being the most obvious example of the terrors that have happened there.

I don't have personal experience of working with the WHO, but what you describe reminds me strongly of health academia. Lots of very clever people, all with minimal/zero awareness of how to make data available in a computer-friend

I'm pretty sure I've seen a SaaS that does this, but I can't remember the name.

Many, many times :) My point is that it's never described . Even in the detailed options for those cookie banners that permit you to tweak things. Sure, there are (some) details about "our partners" and advertising etc, but

This is the generic reason that is always given, but I don't think I've ever seen exactly how the service will be improved and why cookies (or any uniquely-identifying data) are the only way to achieve the desired outcomes.

Very nice. Although perhaps you could do well to remove some sites from your intake. For example, while the following link is mild compared to its source material, it's hardly devoid of sensationalism: https://www.boringrepo

Strange set of comments in this thread. Personally, I'd not heard of k or kdb before so this was an interesting read. The code is from 9 years ago, and looks to me like a proof of concept. It's a kinda stepping stone between the 9

Can you define what you mean by a serving? If the percentage of sugars is lower in skimmed milk (or full, whichever) then that will most likely raise blood glucose least, no? There's also the personal factor to consider. Everyone has a
