Which one is easier to carry and make use of? 118g of silver which can easily be traded with just about anyone for anything. Or 4800g of salt, which has a low liquidity and can be consumed (at ~20g max /day) or used to preserve foods.

My fresh install of Windows 11 definitely didn't have Hyper-V active by default. It had to install it and reboot to activate the WSL2 subsystem. Now, to be fair, this was an install from a couple major updates back. So newer builds mig

Ah, I may have misread it. I thought they were saying Parallels on Windows runs Linux fine. But, re-reading it again, your interpretation is probably correct.
636.
by deaddodo 3y ago
This is ironic, considering Parallels was originally an Apple first product designed specifically for virtualizing Windows and running it's apps "seamlessly" alongside native Mac ones.

It hasn't always been, nor is it necessarily now. If you enable Hyper-V, that will act as Hypervisor for your machine and boot Windows by default. Applications that use it (VMWare, for instance, or Microsoft ones like WSL2) will add th

Again, this is just pettyfogging. An individual human is clearly and blatantly observably more intelligent and capable than an individual chimp. The fact that y'all are speaking in such abstracts is telling in its own right. No one is

by deaddodo 3y ago
But you're misframing the point. No one is saying animals (or even simpler living life) can't communicate or do basic reasoning. You're claiming that humans, without modern society, are somehow in the same realm of intellig

by deaddodo 3y ago
Are you honestly trying to say humans living in a primitive society would be comparable to most other animals (not even "intelligent" ones such as chimps)? The cognitive dissonance in that statement is blinding. Even in the pre-ag

Well there's two arguments to be made. They 100% gave him the source code in a grab bag of goodies. That's a pretty simple case of he has a right to the disc itself, so he could have just kept it (or resold it) and not published.
