This is like throwing out a house cat into a forest 10000km away. Entirely irresponsible and cruel act.

It is not pretty simple. A govt can't win a whack-a-mole game. Consider attempts to block Telegram in Russia. They caused so much collateral damage while not even approaching the goal, that the whole effort had to be canceled and swept

They tried to do that in Kazakhstan in 2019. Mandate a root cert installed everywhere, then MITM everything. Ofc the attempt failed.

Those are two different things. HMRC may have numbers, but you're not required to get them tattooed on your arm. Which is the ID card scheme in fact is.

I find rhombic dodecahedra fascinating. Even made a couple dozen from cardboard to play with.

Yeah, I had one with an immobiliser. By the third time it went nuts and blocked me from starting the car it took me about 3 minutes to reset it, and the tools were already kept in the trunk for just this. Now I live in a country where it&#x

Front disk brakes came into widespread use in 1960s and for a good reason. They are more efficient (read: safety) and much easier to maintain. Rear brakes are almost redundant on entry level cars except for the parking brake. You can just d

Just about everyone. Wave your hand with fingers spread in front of your eyes and you will see it.

Some cats really like it, some cats hide almost before you stretch your hand to a vacuum cleaner. They are all different.

Ah, the old 4chan sport. Didn't think it'll get that refined.

One way to grant those systems an ability to act is to rely excessively or at all on them while making decisions. It's obvious, no?

Disinfection is harmful unless absolutely needed. Same as overuse of antibiotics - it only breeds more resistant strains and harms the immune systems because of lack of less resistant strains.

Because stuff that requires this circus of encapsulation is usually so brain-dead that it can't be gotten to work in any other less horrible way. (also I think you lost one 'over UDP')

A single axle in a train of several hundred, over continuously changing slope, rail and weather conditions? It most certainly won't be detected until it derails.

Tbh I was taught both in school at about the same age. This doesn't prevent me from kicking the kubernetes can down the road instead of coming up with more general relativity. Maybe it's the lust that's insufficient.

It is also beneficial because various crap gets delivered, people move fast to where they are needed and generally stuff gets done. Some paramedics even get so brazen as to fly helicopters to the rescue. How do you draw the line?

Yes you are. Your end users are B, but that doesn't matter if the practices in question are in fact predatory.

I do fault people for not knowing shit that was screaming in their faces for at least a hundred years and an half. I do fault them for ignoring it since it's about they did understand that this is what was going on. Do not attempt to

To me "future opportunities available relative to overall ecosystem dynamics" reads as an euphemism for entropy, so that your advice seems to boil down to "let the others fuck up". Not a ineffective advice at that.

That's basically useless if there's any significant wind. You won't be able to catch up to a drifting boat and board it (the latter is quite a challenge in itself). edit: just not go alone.

Yeah, this. 1000ppm is very noticeable, true 2000 is unbearable. Living in a center of a city next to a 10-line highway opening a window drops a properly calibrated sensor into 400s inside a few minutes.
