Makes me wonder if you could slingshot around the sun towards relativistic speeds with thermal power. At the very least it could save fuel on the egress, if not the second half. Can you aerobrake around a star?

Hah, frankly a real joke compared to mine.

Hah as if it did improve the service compared to listening to basic product feedback. YouTube recommendations alone seem to cause people to lose hair, and that’s not even touching ads. But what am I talking about! Google KNOWS scale, I’m su

Honestly I’d still take it, why not both?

Yes, this is absolutely true, I was just lightly teasing the use of “criminal” as a moral thing.

by monadic2 6y ago
For societies that viewed this as a crime, anyway. For instance, many don’t consider military engagements to be murder but others do, and regardless whether or not you might consider it a crime depends deeply on your geopolitical beliefs. A

I’d imagine most cannibals who ever lived were not breaking the law at all. This may hold true even today. It reminds me of a joke, “why do people refer to me as a cannibal? I think it’s my woodwork that defines me. Why not call me a woodwo

View the source in `ed`, apparently, is the requirement, as the full semantic specification is clearly accessible and modifiable.

> The idea is that the Squeak image is a "binary blob", so doesn't count as a source package. I get why they did this (arbitrary, simple to evaluate), but at no semantic level does this make any sense.

All of these crowdsourcing apps (Uber, doordash, drizly, instacart) charge about 10-100x what you would think it would take to deliver the service.

Still far better, and quite simple at that!, than we have in the US.

FDR got things done in spite of, not because of, his party. democrats have never been particularly good at passing progressive legislation without someone in the drivers seat.

Ah, so their proprietary codec has come back to bite them in the ass. (I realize codec is not the correct term.)

by monadic2 6y ago
Seems very relevant, I’m a fan of FDR and this is absolutely necessary to talk about. the feds vs states thing seems like a distinction without meaning, tbh, the federal government certainly intended the states to deal with natives as they

Corrected, thank you, I apparently had that embedded in my brain from 15 years ago.

Fun fact, the reason why california banned open carry was to prevent the black neighborhoods in Oakland from policing themselves as armed citizens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act

Of course it does. The police are Trump’s brownshirts, whether he knows what’s going on or not. Edit: I mean, come on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eVPKpBKGCE

How will you show this going forward?

by monadic2 6y ago
I can’t speak for others, but zoom is super oriented for corporate meetings and they certainly aren’t “in touch” with my culture (esp compared to facetime or facebook video chat), its current popularity is just an artifact of being the most

To clarify, are you referring to the american jargon for the left wing or contemporary liberalism? Edit: downvoted on clarification is certainly a new experience.

Well, to be able to spot propaganda like the variety you’re spouting right now would be a decent start. I’m not even sure where to begin worrying about the assets of WALMART AND LOUIS VITTON of all stores over the needs and apparent rage o

Sorry, what’s the connection to replacing police de-escalating with social workers de-escalating? You’ve lost me.
