I don't entirely get this. If you have more spots with water, doesn't that just mean mosquitoes will lay more eggs? Which will then die, but +/- 0. How effective is this, actually.

I do think cooperation and letting bygones be bygones for the sake of progress are important. But I don't think it's right to frame it as "get my guy elected" vs "help Gaza". Does decrying them on social media

It feels more likely that if you push the message "yes, this is great" for the short term win they get elected again next term. When do you switch from saying "yes these people are great for flip-flopping" to "no th

Okay, I'm inclined to agree here, but what I don't see addressed is: If you set up an account with a username and password, then write it down on a slip of paper, and then drop that in a cafe, and someone else logs in as you and d

If someone would have eaten 3 meals for a sum of 2000 cal, with one being a 500 calorie meal, and they decide to switch that out with a 1600 calorie chipotle burrito, then the excess calories they need to burn are only 1100. Which a half ma

I don't want to wade into the debate here, but by "their tools" GP probably meant their existing tools (i.e. before adding a new tool), and by "a fuzzy problem solver" was referring to an "AI model".

I'm not using the containers extension, since it only goes about 20% of the way and then they lost focus and stopped developing it. I think most people don't use it. It could have been a differentiator.

So when you said `ask for IPv6` you meant `ask for a static IPv6 prefix` or something else similar to a static IPv4 address? Or is this an apples to oranges comparison? And then you say `Nobody asks for IPv4` - so nobody asks for IPv4 and 0

Yeah, I wonder how this is checked/enforced as well, it doesn't seem trivial and especially in the time at entry. Is it something they take action over retroactively, after correlating records from multiple companies?

It looks like "effect" as in impure functions in a functional language? I.e. a new way of dealing with effects (global/hidden state mutations) in a language that makes the pure-impure distinction. I'm not entirely sure.
