Throwaway vapes are complete resource wastes. Society pays for cleaning up the mess, so at the very least they should be taxed, and seeing the amount of pollution they create and therefore the cost of cleanup that should probably be very hi

This is rather sudden. I see in earlier news that DivestOS was submitted to the FLOSS/fund in November.

Of course, but that doesn't make the title less misleading.

They seem to be rather recent terms, say the last year or so. I found this just posted article helpful: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-is-tpot-twit...

It's written in a form of English that is formal enough to have a straightforward translation to logic formulas. Also, in the solution article that now has been posted, it's compared to the statement "I have read all books on

No. In formal logic, if you have no hats, it is true that all your hats are green. You can claim anything about those hats, it is even true that each one of those hats is the same size as the universe, or that they are all completely green

Ah thanks, missed that.

Why would you think he'd do that? That is a rather strong insinuation.

Indeed, see the word that I started my comment with. But the point I am making was not referenced in the discussion. In fact, I think the main point of the linked article is actually not that silk was being used at all in the bronze age b

Interesting, but silk use in the bronze age is not a new discovery.

In English, yes. In many other languages, no.

by gpvos 2y ago
Correct. That is enough 95% of the time. (I made that number up, but it's not far from the truth.)

I haven't read the entire article, but this is a very common situation: main road with two cycle paths crosses a minor road (or has two side roads at the same place). All roads are also for cars. I'm not sure why the article makes

By the normal mechanisms, I assume.

Better to have no Google account at all. (Actually I have multiple, using each only for very limited, non-essential purposes.)

That's little consolation for the common man.

Easy way to make sure there are no company names that differ only in case?

Free speech on political topics was still limited, e.g. about Tiananmen Square.

Yes, I'm only hearing of them now, so that robs me of the chance to enjoy a lot of their music.

There is a "second chance" system, and I seem to remember it doesn't have a proper check for duplicates.

Their phone numbers all had 666 in them, if I recall correctly.

That is so backwards incompatible that it is never, ever going to fly.

Thanks. Adding a formfeed resulted in an empty page, so there are clearly possibilities but since I can't find a quick PCL example[0] and lpr suits me fine I'm not going to investigate further. [0] I'm assuming PCL is most li

Well, that's easy to check out as long as you have a printer connected. It's going to depend on the printer. Doesn't work on my Brother laser printer on Linux, even if I send some valid Postscript to /dev/usb/l

The .io TLD will disappear, but given its huge use I expect ICANN to allow an especially long transition period. Since it's two letters long, it cannot be retained as a generic TLD, as it's in the country TLD namespace and might b
