'Everybody' thinks RMS is wrong. He has the worst case of Cassandra's curse I've ever heard of. But I think it tends to not work like this. Incidentally, the flat earth thing is mostly a myth; literate people have know

Technology has had an impact on nearly any industry you can think of. As such, there is no shortage of tech work outside of ad tech. Ten years ago I worked on ad tech shit for Amazon, but I quit when I realized that made me a parasite. I

Huh, so that's basically the excuse TPB uses right? "We don't host content, just links to content."

Right, these lawyers are parasites sucking blood not just from society in general, but also blood from most of the artists ostensibly represented by the RIAA. If any artists come out ahead from anything the RIAA's lawyers do, it&#x2

I believe the torpedoes are intended as retaliation weapons. In theory they have the range of ICBMs, though can only attack coastal targets and are obviously orders of magnitude slower. They've spent a whole hell of a lot of money on

I wonder if RIAA lawyers believe themselves productive members of society, or if they recognize themselves as the parasites they are.

The potential for ABM systems to actually neutralize their ICBMs is probably why Russia is developing nuclear powered (and armed of course) torpedoes and cruise missiles.

The ice shelves are getting smaller, but as the ice sheets melt, isostatic rebound should raise the land mass of Antarctica up, increasing the land area of Antarctica.

That may be the case, but sanitation certainly should not be a concern with glass reuse. Glass is easy to sterilize.

Have you considered mpv? It's a highly extensible no-nonsense media player. I still recommend VLC to my family because they prefer VLC's GUI focus, but for me, mpv is the best.

Maybe the violent winds of a thunderstorm would be a problem for tethered kites or balloons? I guess it worked for Franklin though.

Reuse of glass bottles is not recycling (it's reuse.) And there is no problem, it works great.

Their claim, as I've interpreted it, is that their lived experiences have lead them to believe any situation must be treated with caution because they never know what to expect. That is simply not the same as presuming that every ment

Sometimes that's a preferable outcome to the alternative. The North Hollywood shootout is an extreme example, but it illustrates the point; if bank robbers in a car are shooting at everybody they see, the cops shooting back at them

As far as I'm aware, the cultivation of capsicum peppers is generally believed to have began in Mexico, however these peppers grew in the wild in Central and South America as well, and were cultivated there as well. There are five dom

The root commenter has said explicitly of armed violent people: "the vast majority of patients are not like that" So to reiterate, nobody in this thread has presumed as bluntfang claims.

People really want to believe these corporations are charitable organizations, not inhuman slow AIs optimizing for profit. The propaganda departments of these corporations really do a number on people.

While I believe cops could suppress reporting of a wide variety of crimes, I find it a bit difficult to believe they could do much to suppress reporting of violent gun crimes. When people show up at hospitals with bullet holes, certainly t

Ketamine not helping is not the same as ketamine killing. If paramedics had instead applied bandaids, those bandaids would not have helped him, but that's no reason to claim he was killed by bandaids. On one hand, you have cops trying

From what I understand of ketamine, it would take several grams to kill a man while Elijah was given half a gram (which was evidently more than he should have been given, but should still have been well short of lethal.) It seems to me he

I didn't mean to suggest that SANE was a poor project, I guess I just supposed it was sort of gallows humor from developers working on a hard problem.

When courts gatekeep criticism of politicians, that is fascist. Austria's history of fascism makes this even worse, since they of all people should know better.
