Why are people talking like the choice is between cloud password managers (potentially insecure) and no password manager (impractical unless you reuse passwords)? There's a third option - a local password manager like the one built int

Because the only people who feel the personal need for a "free speech" platform are the ones whose views are considered odious elsewhere. If people with non-"odious" views end up at such a platform, they will quickly not

That idea is called "aphrodisiacs". Many have been tried throughout history but I don't think any of them really work.

Dumb question, how do you downvote a post on this site? Not that I have any particular desire to - but I'm curious because I only see an upvote option.

Do you exercise? That might help you get out of those 6 month bouts faster (or prevent them from coming)

Luckily, you don't have to trust the pharmaceutical companies any more. You just have to look at the outcomes of literally billions of people who have been vaccinated, and see how much better those outcomes are on average compared to u

Depends which website. Any fully client side website can be archived and easily accessed forever. The sites which (actually) require server side code tend to be large and commercial.

The "real prarie" was created by Native Americans burning trees. Trees are what happens when no humans are around (what some would call "natural").

Is Facebook in favor of laws (e.g. by Israel) forcing it to censor specific posts?

Folders have the weakness which you describe. But that weakness is also a strength - folders are a form of encapsulation which, for example, discourages or prevents processes in one folder from destroying data in another folder (accidentall

I think 'ls' should show you tags plus any untagged files. Thus no files "fall through the cracks" due to not being tagged. So if your files (and their tags) are as follows: file1 () file2 (t1) file3 (t2) fil

Every subway line is effectively a monopoly, because for most people one line is much closer/more convenient than the others. If there's one thing that's worse for consumers than a public monopoly, it's a private monopol

Yep. The article is apparently ignorant of the long history of sophisticated clocks in non-Western countries ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_timekeeping_devices )

Apparently it needs decontamination and renovation to become a museum ship, and not enough money was raised to fund that. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/aircraft-carrier-sold-1-cent...

She lobbied to have her entire neighborhood landmarked so that nobody could build anything new there forever. Hard to get more NIMBY than that. https://www.villagepreservation.org/2016/05/05/continuing-ja...

This is all true. What's also true is that she was a NIMBY and an inspiration for later NIMBYs. She was right to oppose "urban renewal" projects that destroyed natural urban fabrics in the name of top-down planning visions. B

I think it's more realistic to build a bunch of 10-20 story buildings in Davis than a single 72 story one. The engineering is much easier.

You could upload part of the picture (with the nudity, or everything personally identifying, cropped out) and see if it matches part of any other picture online.

We're capable, companies have just decided there isn't a market for it. Or else there are still useful durable laptops being produced, but not this model or this company.

Nearly all diseases are worse if you're in bad health to begin with. That doesn't make them "not just diseases".

And that's why this result is exciting - not only is it promising for long covid, but also for post-viral fatigue syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome.
