I know that there are unintended consequences of everything. You have to have the courage to reevaluate your choices, not just make a change once and then be done forever.

Come on, can't you imagine that people would CHANGE their habits if their environment changed? We wouldn't make the same kind of choices about where to go, where to put businesses, how to move around, etc. And besides, it's n

Which Greg Egan story is that?

Some of Greg Egan's books explore this as well. I recommend Diaspora and Permutation City.

There is something like that available: http://www.solcomputer.com/sunlight-readable-netbook.html The specs are modest, but I bet it can handle your one requirement: "text editing".

That's dramatic. I'm not sure if restic has compression yet. If not, that could explain it.

Let's call it a very strong and uncomplicated bias, as a human being ;) I see human consciousness as what makes a human being. I don't think that the value of this human consciousness changes, goes up or down, or exists in relatio

To me, the great value of the Sabbath as a day of rest is what Sacks calls "its utter peacefulness and remoteness from worldly concerns". Keeping a day like this affirms our absolute value as human beings, which is independent fro

Are Syncthing or Tarsnap US-based? No. And Syncthing is just a tool that does multi-way sync across devices you own. If a company wanted to replace Dropbox with Syncthing, they would have to run one or more servers to provide the "alwa

As another motorcyclist, I want to give my support to this view. I have no desire to ride fast (I rather enjoy doing 40 mph on a park drive), but I need my bike to be able to go 100 mph so that when the person next to me going 55 mph starts

Allwinner's SOCs are popular as Raspberry Pi-ish single-board computers for hobbyist Linux users who want a dirt-cheap home server. What are some alternatives that have better track records with the GPL?
