Like most humans. Hell, we comment here using devices made by slaves on the other side of the world. We could choose not to. We could make our life harder so that we didn't sponsor slavery. We don't. We are all very selfish.

Great. Does it still come with an integrated hardware backdoor you cannot disable ?

Portuguese still eat them a lot, but they are marinated in a saline solution, which I assume solves this problem. It's quite tasty too.

Yes, but remember it's still easy to pull an "into the wild" ending. One day I was with David Manise, a survivalist teacher. He pulled out a root, and made us tasted it. Young wild carrots. Pretty funny how small it is compar

No idea. Many plants will still kill you even with this protocol. Hence point number 1.

Some survival teachers will recommand this: 1 - do not do it if you can avoid it 2 - if you really must, then try the folliwing: * break the plant, put a tiny amount of it on your armpit. If it's not reacting (itching, becoming red, et

It works in our countries too. Try to pass a terrible bill. Get rejected. Try again. Rejected. Again. Again. Again. They only have to get it through once, since laws are very rarely removed, only added.

I have the opposite problem. So many times I buy a ticket and there is not a single "add to calendar" button. I don't even ask for an auto-add. Just a button. But apparently this is one of the most forgotten feature ever. Eit

Last time I got a vivid experience, i took almost 40 grams of fresh hawaian truffles. Not advising you should take that much of course. Or even suggesting you take it again. Just saying if you feel like it, you can up the dose a quite a bit

That's why my dream contact platform would feature client side encryption. We should have a bitwarden/lastpass/1password for contacts, that synchronizes it across my services and devices, with a solid API + permission scheme

Not but I certainly wish for a way to merge all the contacts from thunderbird, my 3 web mail services, my phone et have them offline on my laptop.

Burial is something that humanity should be able to let go as a whole. It pollutes. It wastes resources and space. We need to find other ways to mourn, remember and symbolize. Ways that will let us treat the body as compost would be ideal,

Will RCS work on dumb phones and phones without data or wifi ? Asking for real, I've never heard of the tech. SMS for me are a godsend. They work with every phones, every carriers. They work on terrible networks. They work in the mount

> IIRC, one of the old problems with general/convenience stores was having to ask around about which products are good, and branding has mostly solved that. I lived in Africa for a little time, so I had to learn to do that. As an in

My personal favorite are currently "Bill Gates is a great guy", and "Microsoft loves open source". They have been fantastically orchestrated for the last few years in regular medias, but also on sites like HN, reddit or

You are right. Let's remove the "+" operator in favor of operator.add. It's totally worth the readability. I'm sorry but "|" is not only a very commonly known operator in the entire programming world, it i

And you can even do that with dict in the most recent version of mypy. But the fact you have to import Union instead of using a pipe bothers me. It's useless boilerplate and verbose. So not o Python. I reported it, but Guido told me it

Sure, they are not the top dog anymore. They can't get away with insulting people the way they used too. Business as usual.

Just anecdotal, but I was once chatting on a plane with a guy working as a meat buyer for a major dog food brand. He told me his work was to negotiate the cheapest thing that would pass legally as meat as possible, in the biggest quantity a

It is. But it's also more. If I give you a list of all unix commands and you don't understand them, you won't go far.

There is not a single thing you can't interpret as political. The question is more about intent, both from the emitter, and the receiver.

Good, but won't work with the heavy JS pages using Ajax to load any single content. The firefox extension seems to do that : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/single-file/

Even an occasional site crash is ok. I'm not saying it's a good user xp, and avoiding it is both better for the tech team and the marketting one. But the cost of a 500 is always to be balanced with the cost of going full throttle

The trick is to understand that most products don't need to have 99% uptime. Your business will be fine if you are offline once in a while. Hell, the stock market goes offline every night. Those last % of uptime are very, very expensiv
