Not starve if left to their own devices. But if they're anywhere even close to a city or town, or a group of other people who don't have those things, they better be prepared to defend it.

But you do accept marketing/second guessing from a human?

This doesn't sound much different from a low wage employee who took a training course on how to upsell customers.

Is it any different than when a low wage employee asking "would you like to make it a large coke for 25 cents more?"

Pragmatically it means you'll have more people willing to fight and die in the next war. Ethically it shows that the participants are committed to the republic enough to be willing to risk their lives.

Just keep scheduling a time that works, and then don't show up.

I'm not looking for details to support my premise, I am analyzing the tweet. I don't know if it is a good way to show how cool you are or not, but I do know that it is more of a humble brag than merely self-disparagement. Really,

I think the problem is that it is massively expensive compared to asking car drivers to stop for 15 minutes every 200 miles.

Except if you're following him on Twitter you're probably thinking "omg he loves history so much just like me, how cool is he?", not "actually, yes, this person is boring and so uninteresting that people walk away f

The joke is a nerd is rattling on about history and people are bored by it and left the conversation. It's a classic nerd post, where someone tries to show how cool they are to other nerds by showing that uncool they are to "norm

Things also could have been a lot different if IPv6 was just IPv4 with 128 bit addresses.

The first part of section 2 says the data subjects need to be in the Union. A European moving to America and shopping at home Depot doesn't (alone) require them to be GDPR compliant.

I feel like once they start rolling out to more and more locales, we will be hit with a spate of news stories like "creepy guy wouldn't let my car drive away by standing in front of it and leering at me"

No, it isn't. see article 3, section 2 of the regulation. You need to offer goods or services to EU citizens for the law to be in effect. If home Depot doesn't operate in Europe, doesn't market to Europeans, doesn't ship

Sure, but the amount of CO2 absorbed by a tree is measured in grams per day, which isn't really enough to even realistically offset the devices own carbon footprint, let alone start tackling other co2 sources.

by oh_sigh 3y ago
That's not how GDPR works but it is a common misconception and I can't really blame non-EU businesses for not taking the time to understand a foreign law when blocking is so easy.

It's not clear to me why Kissinger gets the blame for that, when the US was bombing Cambodia since 1965, and when increasing bombing of Cambodia was part of Nixon's own madman theory.

Good to fight against resellers but bad for normal users - some people might get sick, or have something else come up, and not being able to give a ticket to a friend is a bad experience.

But if a placebo works, it isn't bullshit.

by oh_sigh 3y ago
Well, that's good enough for me. Why would I care if it is really a placebo or real, if it gets me the desired effects?

No, because the way he explains it, there is no consideration in the contract. "You give us something, and we give you nothing" is not a a valid contract. I bet there is something more to it than what he posted. Like, he got paid

But it does change the fact that 6 searches/day will probably not be adequate for the average kagi user, which they imply.

Not to harp on it, but bisquick pancake mix perfectly exemplifies my point: The cheapest per unit bisquick they have at walmart is 6 lbs for $9.38. Keep in mind you still need to add your own milk and eggs to this anyway. Compare to home ma

I don't think it is a given that not relying on corporate pensions is reducing risk. I'm curious what percentage of people have been burned by unpaid/underpaid corporate pensions vs thinking they could rely on social security

While food deserts do exist, and increase the risk of obesity for residents in one, "only" 6% of Americans live in one. Access alone does not account for the incredible rates of obesity among the poor in America. I was also poor a
