   I can’t put it into words well but it’s like if I discovered a vestigial limb attached to my body. I’d want to try firing it up.

   The idea of gaining control of the management hardware like this is really exciting. Can anyone here comment on whether it could plausibly happen? I’m guessing it would require leaks from Intel because otherwise whoever develops the capab

   So you think IBM turning into a consulting husk was a good thing?

   I share your concerns about authoritarians using this occasion to bend things in a bad direction but are you asserting that the virus is not a real thing or that some group with authoritarian aims is behind its release? Because if the viru

   I wish I had a more substantive comment beyond “wow” but this is really impressive. I’ve wanted something like this for a long time.

   Are you a giant multinational that will need to convince people to store stuff on your server in the future? If not then this doesn’t apply to you so you can happily delete everything on your server.

   You’re 100% correct. These things don’t happen because apparently those who can make it happen don’t actually want that outcome.

    Isn’t it cruelty on top of cruelty to not address how unkind and unfair our society is and then attempt to block people’s only escape route? If the world isn’t going to become less cruel who are we to prevent individuals from escaping it

    Serious question for better programmers than me: Doesn’t it violate seperation of concerns that something like the start menu that has a specific function and has been around for decades get smashed into the Cortana code and renamed. Cor

    Wow paradise-engineering.com has been up forever. I vividly remember encountering that page during one of my first forays onto the web circa ‘96 or so.

    I’m all in on Apple phone-wise due to having too many Androids die on me in one year but the point about 3rd parties supporting some old hardware is very true. I have an ancient Barnes & Noble Nook tablet that I flashed with a custo

    I don’t have a dog in this fight but attempting to characterize anyone who has heterodox opinions on trade as anti-semitic feels pretty gross.

    We are pretty sure that an impact liquified the entire surface of the Earth (creating the Moon by casting a big chunk of molten material into space). So clearly the “greatest imaginable” impact does not leave the Earth more habitable than t

    Impacts can and have liquified the entire surface of the Earth (eg the one that formed the moon). How do you plan to survive that?

    Amen. I want to love it and I’ve tried but the file format thing is a dealbreaker. I fantasize about a fork that fixes the “projects” vs wav files issue, and in my fantasy the keybindings match Sound Forge so it’s not jarring to switch b

    It was a bs street name made up by dealers to describe a long-lasting phenethylamine I think DOM. Supposedly stood for “serenity, tranquility, peace”

    DMT was quite niche back then and not substitutible for psilocybin as it’s not orally active. Much more likely to be a synthetic phenethylamine or tryptamine. Candidates back then would be DOM, DOI, etc.
