Comparing population densities does not seem to be very straightforward, since I'm finding contradictory information to your own. Your statcan link gives Toronto 945.4/km^2, but Wikipedia says 4334.4/km^2[0]. I'm more in

Even if there are, they still get a lot less data since they only see what you posted publicly. Unlike Twitter/Facebook, scrapers won't see your every mouse movement, how long you stare at any individual post, or any other of the

The article says "It’s a draft" at the bottom. I don't think this article was meant to be widely shared.

As an amateur who nowadays works a lot with ZFC (but who doesn't know HoTT) and who is very interested in foundations, I don't think that learning HoTT is a waste of time, I'm sure HoTT is great and I'm glad there are pe

I've thought about it more, and it's a tough question. If Facebook did allow Facebook users to see and interact with ActivityPub posts, but didn't allow other ActivityPub instances to see Facebook posts, there would be three

OP said "but not publish Facebook-originated content". So your users wouldn't be able to get Facebook events whether you block Facebook or not. I agree that if Facebook implemented ActivityPub completely then people would not

I think that most instances would block Facebook if they tried to do something like that. They'd have nothing to gain and everything to lose by allowing FB to get away with it. As for your other point, it's also possible it will g

You can statically link a LGPL'd library without releasing the whole under the LGPL, but you need to provide a way for the user to modify the library and re-link it. See: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#L

Your first link is pretty light on details, but your second link from 26 years ago says that the rain was 15.33 inches in one part of the island, 10.88 in another, and 6.68 in another. Compared to that, the 50 inches in 24 hours this month

It's not just having "stuff". Without money, you have no food, no shelter. It's a very effective form of coercion: do this thing you would otherwise never do, or you and your family will starve. Here are some points: - I

What about the families of the 120 000 people in the re-education camp? Or the families of the people who's organs are harvested, or who are imprisoned for being mildly critical of the government? Are they safe? It's easy to excus

On my part, I dislike the argument "there are people doing worse things than me, so don't try to stop me doing bad things!". It's not one or the other.

While the halting problem can be pretty important in some cases, it's not very relevant in most day to day code. If you're not sure if your code will ever terminate, that usually means that you're doing something wrong. So su

While I agree with most of your points, I'd like to point out that it's not necessarily true that prior generations wanted/enjoyed having children. People didn't have much in terms of birth control for most of human hist

As an AMP "hater", I couldn't care less about the AMP user experience. My problem with AMP is that to be on Google's Carousel, which shows up at the top of mobile search results, you need to serve your content from Goog

In truth, C# was the "top contender" because it was the only contender. Sorry for the misleading way I phrased it. My main reason for using Java is for the easy cross-platform development. Most of what I code are basic GUI apps th

I'd like to switch away from Java in future applications, and C# seems like the top contender, but there are questions I'd really like answered before I make the switch. I see a lot of people talking about Microsoft open-sourcing

I don't know about that. China is just as bad as the west when it comes to privacy, and they use it to help crush dissent in their citizens. As for the environment, while they've been taking steps to remedy that, they're st

That sucks. Mastodon tries to reduce the empty home page problem by automatically following the admin when you create an account, and by having a #followfriday hashtag where people post recommendations of who to follow, but that doesn'

I don't think a point can rotate. What would it mean if it did? There would be no observable change. So no, I don't think the absolute center point moves. From a physical standpoint, though, if you wanted to talk about the absolut

Whoa. I kept reading past that, and the third answer by Logan R. Kearsley is almost exactly what I said, but better. I should have kept scrolling the first time I opened the link! It ends by saying that in general relativity, "rotation

Um, I must be missing something here, because feel like I have a pretty simple solution to why there's only a single rotational reference frame, and this is a problem that apparently eluded Einstein , if I'm to believe your link.
