I don't think it's necessarily political. One of the issues is that airborne diseases have a totally different set of requirements for hospitals, and they're much harder and more expensive to comply with. Specifically, patie

What's the upside of that? Each device being it's own homeserver sounds like a huge increase in the number of federation requests. It will simultaneously make it possible to run on every device, but impractical to do because of

I don't think it's that catastrophic. I think they should have forced a hard cut with Python 3, but adoption there was hard enough already so maybe they made the right choice. Another part of the issue is that it makes system pac

That is not a good idea. Innocent people will die when forgotten mines go off in a decade, and full auto weaponry is probably overkill. I can't imagine your aim is going to get any better when you're firing in full auto, unless

Yep, I get some prompts now that say "Press the $X key" (often space), but will actually proceed if you hit any key. It always give me a touch of chuckles when I think about why they named a specific key then.

If you're willing to discard any objections to the contrary, it's also easy to fix on the other side too. Require rental contracts to be filed with the city like deeds are, and immediately remove anyone reported as trespassing in

The compressor is almost certainly the most expensive part of the fridge. It's also one of 2 moving parts on fridge (the other the being the fan, which is cheap), making it the most likely to fail. I checked some list prices, and they

That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that raises some eyes. You usually need some form of distributor's license to not have to pay sales tax on the transaction. That license requires identification. Of course you could refuse th

The NAPALM link seems to be wrong/broken on the NAPALM page under additional features. It links to what looks like a strange feed aggregator. Not sure if anyone from the project is around, I was curious what that library/API&#x2

I think you're conflating two separate things here. The major difference between user mode programs and kernel mode programs is security and stability (at least in this context). Things in kernel mode have basically no restrictions on

I'm certain the colloquial use will remain, but "doesn't require a driver" should really be the one to get it's own name. Fully Autonomous Vehicle or Driverless Autonomous Vehicle. "Self-driving car" is j

In their defense, that would likely be a terrible idea. You're presuming the highly paid people are evenly distributed among the company, which is likely not true. Just one example, you would expect that given their tenure, they woul

Without taking a stance on whether or not we should, humans do care if many species of animal dies. Not because of some altruistic drive, but because their welfare influences our own. Species dying out can dramatically impact the environme

Yes. Just as an example, I use VSCode. VSCode no longer works on CentOS 7. It needs a newer glibc, so I'm going to have to recompile a lot of stuff and do some PATH fiddling to get it to work. It's usually not that it's hard

One non-inconclusive piece is the massive number of productive, but opaquely so, behaviors that animals have. In this case, my guess would be that their "play" is closely intertwined with their intelligence, and that "play&q

How fast does it need to be? The cheapest option I can think of offhand is doing Internet via a HAM radio [1]. It's not fast, at all (I think I saw 500 kb/s in the article), but they say it's only $80 USD for the hardware,

To me, a significant part of the commonality is the preciseness of the text, and how much of an impact that can make. Many legal cases hinge on the exact phrasing of a law, and sometimes you don't realize the choice of a word is signi
