Astroturfing generally requires a company backing the movement. Why would a company care enough about pip and virtualenvs and then want to hide that? I didn't see an alternative offered besides using existing open source tools.

You would only roll this out to certain areas at a time. Not the entire planet at once.

I think the problem is that you can hear yourself think, so to speak.

Object-oriented in the large, functional in the small. Makes sense to me.

I would rather lose 10% of my QoL than be murdered, so I'd say murdering 100 is worse than reducing the QoL of 1000. Easy. Next question?

You're so cyberpunk! You think the world wouldn't react to an assassination market? You think the internet wouldn't be changed to disallow such a thing? Think again.

Alas, tt.fm. You will be missed. I've been in the same room every day for two years, meeting friends and listening to new music.

Runoff of chemicals seems like a lawsuit against the upstream farmer. But that's assuming a just world, of course. :(

Knob & tube is notorious for causing fires. I'd get a second opinion on its safety. http://www.oldhouseweb.com/how-to-advice/knob-and-tube-wirin...

How about not buying seeds that are encumbered like this? "Oh no, but I need my roundup!" Buy organic and support the farmers who don't need weedkiller resistant crops.

Your sarcasm is wasted here. There are more life situations than scientific studies. Furthermore, since this is real life, you can't run control groups and you have a sample size of one (the child). You're clearly not a parent s

Where did I say "complex"? And what the fuck are you talking about? I have a two year old. We're working on sharing and not hitting other children. Is that complex? Go on. Tell me what should the scientifically minded pa

So is GoInstant a javascript wrapper around an XMPP service? I wonder if they use ejabberd.
