How much effort? Do you discount for example accidental works of art?

What would you say that lossless means, then?

No! You slash the number of bug reports . The bugs are still there! Am I missing some joke here?

But the proposed action isn't to fix the bugs, it's to delete the documentation of the bugs! Closing your eyes don't make a problem go away. Surely the engineers understand that too, and won't get a moral boost from igno

Been running 22.03 RCs on the RT3200 for a while myself. Never had a more stable home network experience. Thanks, OpenWrt!

Are you saying that understanding an UTC offset of 2h is significantly easier than understanding one of 10h?!

It's not its only upside. They're already required to make sure the tower doesn't fall in someone's head. That cuts into profit. But they still do it.

Like I wrote: covering the cost of establishing and maintaining the tower. It's essentially a matter of declaring that the towers themselves, and the infrastructure that connect and power them, are not to be a profit maker for anyone.

by gspr 4y ago
You mandate that anyone who puts up a tower has to sell physical space and connectivity for base stations of competitors on those same towers at a fair price. Charging to recoup the cost of the infrastructure = ok. Charging more to force co

If this is how you think academic conferences are, I can't help you. (Go ahead, go "learn" the forefront of research in a field of say mathematics "on the Internet".)

I've been super impressed with Zulip's thread system in technical chats. But how is Zulip itself in situations where you mostly want channel-wide banter, with the odd thread spawning off of that?

You're the kind of driver who makes me want to kick cars off of roads in densely populated area. What a ridiculous notion that it's the soft participants in traffic that need to heed the hard ones!

Honest question: can one (reasonably) use an Android phone without a Google account? If not, should one just accept losing access to half the phone market? What if Apple decides to pull a similar move? In many places, you need a phone from
