That’s interesting in the case of a domain transfer. If I sell a domain I am de facto selling the rights to its history.

Do you mean auto rickshaw, bicycle rickshaw, or hand rickshaw?

Because it’s low of course. You actually have $60k employees who can write API docs?

Oh please no. Getting one pump of liquid sugar in my McDonalds coffee instead of 3 takes me 6 seconds to tell a cashier and 1-2 minutes at the Dante’s Inferno near my office with the automated kiosk.

There are probably a lot of Joe Rogan reflexive downvoters because gasp he had some less-than-Carmackian guests on his show.

Google could probably detect atypical usage patterns. If you’re always on your phone and suddenly there is no accelerometer delta then you’re likely not at home with your phone but somewhere away from it.

Forms of “ownership” are human created incentives towards particular behaviors. Land ownership incentivizes investment and reduces territorial violence. Child custody is a form of ownership that promotes family stability. The purpose of int

It’s doubly sad because sex trafficking definitely exists (cf Epstein) but finding some single mom giving handjobs to widowers is much easier for cops to handcuff and call “sex trafficking.”

Seriously. A friend’s father told me that his favorite movie was “Chase a Crooked Shadow.” I tried to watch it online and couldn’t find any place to buy it (I would have paid up to $50... the guy was visiting and wanted to watch it with me,

Theoretically democratic? Protections against democracy are one of the only reasons that the US still allows unskilled immigrants at all. The majority of the US population would overwhelmingly support the visa denial of a brown-skinned Musl

A clean burner phone is doubly suspicious. To really avoid detection you would need a carefully constructed burner identity, ensuring that the people who get through are the most sophisticated criminals with the greatest resources backing t

It’s not that - it’s that as a 6-person team who is a target customer, I don’t want to get a bunch of my data locked in to a system that’s not priced to sustain the company.

You’re not counting the votes they would lose if they tacked away from explicit racial animus. It’s more than a few.

But isn’t there oxygen in the organic materials of the tree?

20% of sequestered carbon dioxide is in the Amazon. If it burns to the ground then that CO2 will be released. It doesn’t affect oxygen levels.

That’s not good because it gives the leaders a quality of life that they shouldn’t be able to enjoy.

We need low cost low security jails for people who commit property crimes. Basically just wall off a few square miles and throw them in there left to their own devices.

Just looked up the hot coffee case. It could only happen in a city with strict gun laws. In Texas someone would have enacted his sheriff fantasies on this perpetrator a long time ago.

What would be cool is one package with the original HTML file, the fully rendered DOM written out as a second file+assets package, and a PDF just in case the first two get fucked.

If you can get to an aviation museum that lets you inside a fighter plane cockpit the variety of buttons and levers is a real delight. Because they’re designed for a pilot who might be flying supersonic inverted with a Russkie on his 6 ever

So you choose the totally literal reading. Not what I’d choose, but also an understandable choice given that this is a technology and programming-oriented website. I won’t say that the allegorical reading is more “correct,” but if you’d lik

Of course that’s the more straightforward reading. An even more straightforward reading is the literal one. Different readers choose different levels of indirection.

It’s a satire illustrating the phenomenon of people getting into the most acrimonious fights with the people ideologically closest to them. It’s likely specifically directed at American liberals and their tendency to viciously claw at each
