This is a great way to go when you have a very narrow scope as it seems you have here (well done btw). The downside for groups with wider scopes is turning away money if the donor isn't comfortable with this. Even a hackerspace may hav

Seconding this. However I do appreciate the chicken-and-egg problem donors have here as they can get tricked into throwing money at a non-sustainable project if it's not already on steady-enough-legs to cover the non-sexy things that n

Nothing. However if they can't claim ownership of the drama they have caused it's not useful for research that's publishable so it does nix these idiots from causing further drama while working at this institution. For now.

False. Sure, platform failure as described is a real thing. But the point here assumes that there are not roving gangs of people who have weaponized this platform failure as a form of virtue signaling. Again, until you've had a few tho

No one understands the true nature of the "woke mob" and "cancel culture" until several thousand people on the interwebs threaten to have you fired, shot, and your family murdered because of a simple mis-understanding.

Ha, yea good memories... well sort of. I only worked there for a few months but my manager wouldn't let me near the Xenix main terminal in the back as he knew I was a little familiar and didn't want me messing with it. He assured

It looks maby like the remains of a row of haylage. Basically chopped corn, stalk and all, which is used to feed livestock. Usually you see this stuff in long white bags in the US country side, but there are multiple ways to store it. The s

You're not technically wrong, but what you are suggesting simply doesn't work in government. Each department is a kingdom with varying amounts of political clout. Only the smallest and least-powerful groups will jump on board with

I have most of the parts to do the individual tasks this thing is supposed to do. What I don't have is the time or desire to whip it all up into a functional tool including a display, buttons, etc. It doesn't do anything that you

It's a kickstarter, so it's going to run behind. I consider it gambling for fun toys, sometimes they work out and sometimes they don't. They've sent out a stream of updates over the past year so i'm really not worri

Jeezus people have short memories. Bitcoin solved a flotilla of problems that were blockers for an all-digital currency in 2008. The most severe and proven problem was the threat of government shutdown by a police raid of your servers, this

I vaguely remember the Linux logo hunting phase and the platypus. The platypus made sense to me, but I get the appeal of Tux. And it's funny that it would be more than a decade from the first time I used Slackware before I realized wha

I've fallen into the same trap with sites before. Discovering that your arcane knowledge is useful to others is fun and you enjoy helping random strangers with their questions. It seems like you are contributing to a public benefit and

You are absolutely right. On the other hand, why not just add mermaids to the equation: https://www.reddit.com/r/ufo/comments/kushry/cross_post_i_kn...

Heh, congress doesn't write any legislation any more, that all happens on K-street now by lobbyists.

Regardless of what view point you have, it's become painful to watch/consume news on either side if you don't subscribe to their same left/right view point as what is being presented. The MSM has overplayed its hand over

On one hand, he's not wrong, overall inflation for 2020 was on par for a normal year, we're not headed into hyperinflation territory just yet. But you also have to realize that some people are affected quite a bit harder by the cr

I get it, the gov has a hard problem to solve. It's a case of both of them being right - the gov needs a common level of gradable security applied, and these folks are in an uncommon position of being able to test and prove that their

If you want to do this optically just shoot a flashlight across the surface of the stone, hills and valleys of even less than 1mm in height or depth will create shadows revealing most of the otherwise hidden text. But hey, I bet we can get

Don't buy the hype, it's impossible to die from overdose of LSD. The one case I've read of it happening was highly suspect.

Wow, that operation was sketchy as hell, lol. The bottom of the heli was below the water line and took on a few hundred gallons of water into the bay for a few moments. One wrong wave, a momentary loss of power, and they are all toast. I ca
