If changing the title doesn’t result in actively squelching the old title, I’m not sure how to interpret this. There’s fundamentally a silent middleman choosing the content on the site. Is this bad? No. This is the whole positive and negati

They may not be distinguished at the instruction level, but if you’re trying to argue it’s not a useful thing to teach you’ve lost me. Dynamic vs static vs scoped (stack) allocation is incredibly important to reasoning about basic programs.

People don’t learn C by learning the spec, and virtually every c implementation and runtime I know, it uses a stack and heap. Oddly you seem to recognize this, so I’m not sure what your point is.

I hear that hit job of a book A Christmas Carol did unreparable damage to Mr. Scrooge’s reputation. A damn shame. Mocking rich people for how they spend their money is a pleasant past time for humanity, not anything deplorable.

The entire idea of a land owner is absurd. We need right to roam protections.

“Principle” meaning he’s just stubborn here, I’m assuming.

Compared to what? It’s an accurate term. Not all forms of censorship are equivalent to a big brother government.

Maybe I’m reading wrong, but nobody implied Cisco installed the backdoor at the request of the government.

by drb91 8y ago
Well, making money just off of novels seems impossible these days (you gotta hold out for HBO); there’s still a good deal of difference.

Ahh yes competition between VC funds and the enterprising entrepeneurs of Rio.

Well, their PR software could use some serious love. I don’t use github for much else.

Seems like the sad thing is that SV companies are actively making the world worse, not that reaction to this is negative.

I would not describe the defining parts of buddhism as ideological so much as philosophical and sensuous. I’m not sure a good definition of religion exists. You’re being hugey reductive.

Actually, my point was that presumption of safety is irrational; you latched on to the wrong word. And even though glyphosate is a known weed killer it’s still used adjacent to food we do eat. Anyway, my impression is that glyphosate is reg

Presuming chemicals are not safe seeems rational to me, especially sprayed on our food. Why not have monstanto spray a fucking bee? They ain’t gonna do it themselves. Seems like the burden of proof would be to establish safety. If that’s no

IANAL, but I believe at least in California, emmployers have no right to IP that is unrelated to work IP and developed on your personal time on a personal laptop. If it is in a contract it should be unenforcable. The key here is having a cl

Well, this is still an improvement over having no information about your produce, and a blockchain would provide a reliable ledger to sue deceptive food sources.

I’m not sure what the middleman is, or which way the money flows, but there are also services that provide new music to retailers. The retailers get access to the current trendy ambiance, and the artists get exposure in an environment where
