It's not particularly intellectually stimulating and likely to cause a flame war.

Are there any actual repercussions for just ignoring robots.txt?

How does liability work here? Who is liable for all the work required to get the ship dug out? Who keeps the insurance that will pay for all this?

Most links posted to this site are posted for a financial reason one way or another. That doesn't mean they aren't interesting or intellectually stimulating.

I don't know with Mac, but this is why many Linux distros recommend putting /home is on a separate partition. If it fills, it won't lock up the whole system.

Fun story with this. Ubuntu now has an experimental root-on-zfs feature. I installed it and started playing with some docker containers, trying to compile a certain version of pytorch. Suddenly, my computer crashed. Apparently, my root partition filled because docker installed everything on the same partition as my OS, crashing everything immediately.

I've never traveled like this, merely drove cross-country and didn't experience this. Does it really feel so different?

He led, which is good. But does that mean he is the right person to lead the foundation now? I think the article makes a really good argument on why he isn't.

His social awkwardness, his public opinion on contentious issues like abortion or what is considered rape, the fact that he makes people feel uncomfortable. These are distractions that push people away and weaken the foundation's focus on free software. He may be right on those issues, he might not be.

Mob rule is bad, cancel culture is bad. His removal at the hands of such a cancel culture mob is probably part of why he is being put back in a leadership position. But I absolutely understand why people are puzzled by the board's move to bring him back.

Only if where you work and purchase necessities is far from where you live. If you live close or work remote, then it would be easy and convenient to walk.

Seveneves was spectacular, by far one of my all-time favorite books. To each their own, I suppose.

DNA is "translated" from code to proteins using codons. There's a very good chance that the codons used would be completely different from our own, disrupting viral replication.

There's no reason to be racist. Cultures vary regionally. Californians in general act differently than Texans in general. Rural Americans in general act differently than urban Americans. Some people like their culture and community and don't want it to change just because rich outsiders come in.

There was no point, just a request for clarification which you provided. Thank you.

Who is the "we" you're talking about?

I wish I had a tool or app that would successfully get me to reduce both phone usage and use of certain apps or websites. Something that could adapt to different people would be good.

Only grass decomposed in an anaerobic environment would produce methane. Grass decomposed aerobically would produce CO2 instead.

The point is that you don't represent everybody, yet the browser gives you a choice instead of forcing you to do something.

My judgement isn't clouded, but I've been directly harmed by such misinformation before. I want other people reading to know that nicotine isn't some wonder nootropic that brings no side effects or addiction, because it's just not the case.

The same could have been said of tobacco in the 50's. Turns out it was bad for you.

You're spreading misinformation and could get other people addicted. You're making assumptions on my diet just to dismiss the well-known fact that nicotine is addictive[1]. Most sites that say otherwise are either social media sites like reddit where echo chambers form, or they're obviously pro-ecig and extremely biased.

This is wrong. Nicotine alone is less addictive than the nicotine-MAOI combination, but it is still extremely addictive. I started with vaping.

It sounds from your comment like red light is good enough for collision avoidance. Why else would light be needed from street lights? We all carry phones with flashlights nowadays.

If they transition to white LED lights, it will be a big shame. White light disrupts our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycle. It affects bugs, bats, and all sorts of wildlife. It would be much better for everyone if they moved to red street lights.

This argument is a bit like the "coal is a renewable form of energy because it eventually returns" argument. The consensus is that if the time scales required are on the order of thousands, tens of thousands, or millions of years, then it's safe to call it nonrenewable, and it is safe to call this irreversible on a human time scale.

It's important to mention the subtleties so we can best prepare, and so that naysayers can't point to localized sea level drops as proof that global warming is a hoax.

I made a relevant comment about this a while back[1]. Thinking it was a nootropic got me addicted for years and brought no benefits. I still get the urge to smoke and it's been years now.

Just don't smoke, there are better nootropics.

Any idea how it would interface with the placenta? Normal mammals use umbilical cords.

Cows that need to be milked welcome milking, otherwise their utters get sore and tender. Just like humans.

If you work on things with a 5% chance of success but 1000x potential return, it absolutely makes sense to keep trying if you have the capacity to take on that much risk.

It discusses that in the article. 80% Of Indians are Hindus and believe cows are sacred. Suggesting they abandon their cultural beliefs just to maximize yields is ignorant of their way of life. Not everyone needs to live or believe like us.

I personally don't want infrastructure or tools to dictate the bounds of my morality or the overton window of the whole society.

Wouldn't that be inefficient? The software would then have to parse a json string after the sqlite query.
