So that means we'll need a sort of magnetic snow-plow-like device for intergalactic travel to shovel all that hot plasma out of the way. Maybe it's easier to convert a whole planet into a starship to take advantage of its magnetic

I also heard that Roman middle classes who couldn't afford silver used leaden plates to eat off of. As lead very quickly develops an airtight patina, this is much worse than plumbing (which after installation of basically never touched

I agree. for a long time the difficulty has not been in finding stuff on the internet, but rather finding said stuff again later

I agree. I like their pre-Digg skits "thebroken" and "hacking with Ramzi": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNQ280Zkk4

True but from what I understand of the matter (which isn't that much tbf), +2.3C is predicted to be already pretty fucking horrible, to say nothing of +3C...

Highly redistributive taxation is a good thing (if properly done), given the high inequality in many countries. "Growing inequality" sounds innocuous but is really one of the root causes of the increasingly fucked up situation man

I'm not necessarily doubting you but can you point to some specific examples re: "environmental destruction within the EU"? Also: Germany watering down CO2 emission rules seems to have more to do with Germany's power wit

The state government of lower Saxony (the state where VW is based) owns 25% of VW. I don't think that's a coincidence. Edit: looks like it's 20%

To address only a tiny sliver of that massively one-sided view of yours: At least in many European countries, publicly-funded universities train the scientific, engineering and managerial talent these corporations need.

Are there other non-Tor onion routing programs? If so, .onion seems more generic and thus better. (I know that tor is the abbreviation of The Onion Router)

What about http, ://, www and other TLDs like .co.nz or .ac.uk? All of these were pretty meaningless to initiates of the internet. In this new age of ".pizza" and suchlike, ".onion" doesn't seem much diffe

I remember some Christmas special that (contrary to my country's version) had all these different characters, black and Asian kids, Big Bird and the story took place in this extremely urban setting of NY. This was in the late 80s or ea

Shot in the dark here but have you tried to charge it from the other side? See this Stackoverflow thread that was also featured on hn: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/363337/how-to-find...

That's true, but adopting that stance seems to be a case of "the perfect being the enemy of the good"

I think it's normal, reasonable and beneficial. If I had a very strong grievance that lead me to protest, I'd be highly motivated to not let others detract from my message or tarnish it. Nut jobs and provocateurs make it harder fo

When a uni department replaced all their Macs, I got my hands on a power Mac G4 Cube (yes, one of those that sits in the MoMA). I haven't been able to fix it (something's fried) but I plan to keep the shell and most of the innards

That's a bit too simple. People in inland provinces such as gansu or guizhou have much -much- lower purchasing power. I encourage you to have a look at a map of China with GDP numbers and then compare them to the US, Germany or Japan..

Right now you are right. But I suspect that a lot of governments are furiously at work right now to figure out to turn back globalization a bit to lower their dependence on products being manufactured far away. So I think that the equation

That (on its own) doesn't mean that it's legal, I'd imagine. At least in the EU, doesn't GDPR prohibit such non-choices?
