>Either way, 20 year lifetimes where you build once and reap the rewards for 20 years is sufficient to put to rest the kind of argument being made about dependancies. It's not sufficient. We have had plenty of time to start making a

I think there are different life strategies that humans use. Some people need to survive based on skill more than others. The most obvious cases of non-skill strategies are the ones where people make a living based on having a certain physi

That is only marginally better in the scheme of things. They want to take farms for food out of commission in some places to replace with fragile and unreliable solar systems. Imagine installing this stuff on a large scale. If you plan to r

The US and the rest of the West are capable of manufacturing. You just said yourself they can be made "anywhere" so make up your mind. What I think is that manufacturing is not competitive in the US or the West as a whole because

If two machines have different endianness, then there is no optimal byte order for either one. Therefore, this problem can't be solved in a one-size-fits-all optimal solution. People have tried to make code generators to take some of t

20 years is not great for those. Extreme weather can also shred them. It's fine to have some, but I sure as hell don't want to be dependent on that.

Becoming completely dependent on imported tech for such basic needs is a BAD idea. The West cannot outcompete China on cost for these products at this time. And before you say subsidies, let me remind you that we are all going broke.

The corn is good for multiple purposes. In a pinch, you can eat it. Can't eat electrons. The panels are not recyclable either.

Technocracy sounds good in theory, but if you understand human nature and economics you'll realize that technocratic governance makes no sense. It's up to humans to decide what to do, with value judgements about what they want t

I had to look. Private and toll roads have a long history, and enlightenment thinkers did have varying opinions about whether private roads made sense or not. Generally, if labor is required to maintain a thing (whether water, roads, etc.),

It is practically so much harder that I think it qualifies. How many rejections or years of effort do you think one must endure before he can reasonably say it's nearly impossible? I'm not going to get into how stats are on my sid

Assuming you have to start on one of the branches being merged, "current" is a good name for the one you started on. "Other" is good enough for the other one. By the way I found out that octopus merges never succeed in c

In my opinion, a lot of ugly people start off by trying to be nice, then gradually become more bitter and cynical the more they have to take shit from other people. At least I feel like that has happened to me, and I'm not even so ugly

If that is true about the California case, it is basically a fluke. Lobbyists don't have total control of the legislation after all. It sounds almost benign when posed that way, but it is the wrong solution either way. The better solut

No, it's bipartisan and even fucking international. I think there is a very obvious conspiracy to get this done, but maybe it's a big coincidence that governments and politicians everywhere suck now.

I was talking about the party. This shit is and always has been pushed from both parties. Even democrat states like California and Colorado are on board. See also, the OS age verification legislation.

It's not about gutting moderation. They want you to dox yourself to get online. It's a pro-censorship authoritarian-friendly move. I don't believe the narrative that Meta is behind it all either. If they are, they are probabl

It will probably accomplish nothing for other reasons. There are secret laws in this country which violate the constitution. I don't think the average person appreciates privacy as much as they should. But saying they are complicit in

To be fair, if you can firewall the whole thing and have a read-only data layer, this could work for some tasks. This could get tricky when it comes to accessing web resources, but the data layer could handle it presumably. The data layer t

Soulless multinationals often want to share costs with other soulless multinationals, just like individuals do. So I think there will always be publicly shared code. The real question is whether this code will be worth much if it can be imp

Imagine getting so much aid from the US and Europe only to start making ultimatums. If they dare to do such a thing, they should be the next ones to find out.

What is history-textbook gall is denying your benefactor a modicum of assistance. We have given them more than enough aid to get whatever help we asked for (which was probably negligible anyway).

It's not, especially the part about it being actively changed to adapt to Linux. I've heard several complaints about this already. I may have been a little harsh on the stability concerns but I stand by my assertions in general.
