You're skipping the part where the IRB would have to approve injecting vulnerabilities into a public software project, a process which involves obfuscating and lying to humans.

It does seem crazy. This bit in the article claims that a retrofit would be faster than building entirely new ships. > The lengthening is a novel approach to adding vessel capacity as shipyard availability shrinks. With demand soaring, m

By 9p you mean 9pfs? if so, it "exists" for Linux, but that's about all.

AFAIK peppers are native to the Americas, I'm not sure there is a "native" African pepper. Though they certainly could have been cultivating them for 400-500 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pep

You seem convinced Wendell is well known and authoritative, but I've never heard of him, any more so than the author of the Times piece. You should consider that not everyone shares your experiences.

No one here said anything to the contrary.

We've also killed each other since time immemorial, doesn't mean we have to like it.

Quite the slippery slope fallacy. You're also conflating civil and criminal law. Copyright is civil law. The government doesn't send the FBI in to ensure some publisher respects that a book's copyright has lapsed.

But what says those people will live within Austin city limits (ba dum tiss) and pay property taxes to the government that gave out the tax break? Surely a sizeable number would commute? Also, collecting new property taxes from a corporatio

Lol, I don't think you got the joke if you needed a paragraph long explanation of why you don't think it's funny. It's also okay to not get a joke, you can simply move on with your life.

I'd love it if more cops had college degrees in the US, but they don't. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away.

Not OP, but I can, since I bought the domain elsewhere and just point MX records at Google. If you buy a domain through Google, you should still be able to transfer it to another registrar.

The bigger pain point for me is macOS still has no system-wide registry of installed applications. You specifically need to keep the uninstaller around for big applications. So lord help you if the app you want to delete isn't a single

You would probably enjoy the `port select` command in Macports to pick the version you want to launch when invoking, say, "python". Macports is also good about naming different versions, so you can have python-34, python-37, and p

Indeed, I was amazed when I installed it today and it popped up the Beta update dialog when I launched it. Happy to see it's not abandoned.

I don't think you meant this sarcastically but it's probably closer to reality than you think. They certainly aren't paying full-time employees to go through tedious stuff like that. That's what contractors are for!

IMO the last model of a generation is usually the best wrt Apple laptops. They usually have more efficient processors that run cooler, at the least.
