My roommate comes in and talks, and while they're doing that I automatically start cleaning my room. I am a slob otherwise. But something about that, it gives me a chance to be away from "online" while also giving me a sort

Not gonna happen, but man it'd be great to see a non-profit swoop in, buy the data and destroy it all (after giving the users a chance to backup their own personal copy of the data).

This has me wondering about converting law into source code, running it through something like Coq or Agda and finding logical contradictions that need resolution. Not sure that would be feasible (e.g. if those languages would even be capab

Depends if you decide to use vim as an editor. By now it's second nature (even though I'm nowhere near a vim master and struggle) this is one thing I use often.

Thanks/YW. Yeah, a lot of those old 90s libertarian/community building/better world idealism hit me right when I was coming of age. I'm a pessimist now, but those early days were inspirational in what could be.

It's still a pain in the ass you can't just go to the gas station and get some, etc... There shouldn't be a need to go to a pharmacy for what should be an over the counter drug that's far more effective than synephrine
