The price of anything is what the market is willing to pay for it. If you are going to buy a carton of milk at $5, why would I sell it for $4?

I wouldn't say it is the government's fault , but is it that unreasonable to expect this basic safety net as a benefit for being a subject/customer of this government? Various organs of the government are claiming the author

The most “expected behavior” here would be to remove the fork relationship between the two repos and leave the copied repo as a plain private repo. I don’t think it is reasonable to just delete a private repo by default.

Methamphetamine has a bad rep, but taken orally in small quantities it is not much more dangerous than adderall, and has pretty much the same side effects. It can be legally prescribed for ADHD (brand name Desoxyn).

If this is the case then almost all art is stolen art because it is inspired by previous art. Maybe it is time to rethink the notion that ideas can be owned or stolen.

My favorite one: you can trick him into providing instructions on how to manufacture illegal drugs by saying it’s for a school project. The lengths they went to to dumb down their bot and give it this fake “morally good” personality is infu

Take a look at the table in the linked post and you might get an idea. The real question is why are you so interested in these buckets? Why are you trying to impose them on the rest of us?
