Do you run virtual machines on it?

It helps make money for its owners. It's not here for charity.

There is an effort underway to fix this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN

There is not much motivation to fix PSTN (and cell networks that rely on or emulate PSTN) as it's being phased out. So things move slowly.

Of course not. Innovation is just as easily stolen as derived.

If we all took the "someone else would do it someday" view, we'd never praise anyone.

I love brown after awhile of using blue. Blue feels great but is loud enough to wake up the neighbors.

Agree brown cherry keys are the best, and the Happy Hacking keyboard is probably overrated (never used one, thankfully never gave into the minor urge to buy one years ago).

I use a ROG Claymore now and it's great, the only real disadvantages being that the key caps are pretty flimsy, and they also come off too easily.

Renders the presumably intended image (no "white box") in Brave. By the way I'm really glad I switched from Firefox and highly recommend it.

Hackernews comments will continue to devolve and become more Reddit-like on the whole. Someone will begin working on an alternative that will make them rich in 2024.

Donald Knuth will die..... BUT his brain will live on in a jar in a Stanford subbasement

- Donald Knuth will die

- Joe Biden will become unable to maintain office (due to age / health related issues) and his VP will become president; many will theorize this was the plan all along

- People will settle down about COVID regardless of what happens. There will be more backlash as we continue to learn more about the vaccines (and require boosters at some currently undetermined interval)

- $SPY will lose 100+ points but regain that. Prices of goods and services will continue to spiral out of control

I sympathize with the post you're replying to. Mostly because butts are about face level in these situations and people don't seem to realize it would be more pleasant for others if they'd angle them away from faces.

I'm slender and not very tall. I rarely have an issue.

I'm the same. I stand around until the last minute. We're all getting there at the same time, and I'd rather be standing because soon I have to sit for hours. My bag fits nicely under the seat in front of me.

I prefer someone with knowledge of finance being the head of a department very heavily involved in finance. Whether or not the particular person was the right guy is a determination I personally wouldn't make on his job alone.

An RNG that all your friends and enemies also have access to

I love Python and the Python 2-3 debacle really soured things for me as well. It was hard to get over that hump and I can understand that many were put off by it forever.

It's the same in any area of life and is called maturity.

HalfLife 1 wasn't shipped in the 80s though. Maybe HL3 will be shipped in the (20)80s.

No it's not. As long as Facebook provides the increasingly obese population of the West an outlet for memes, child photos, and uniformed political opinions, Facebook will rake in money.

This violence is unrealistic to the point that it's not disturbing (to me, at least). Someone pulls an undamaged bullet from a guy's forehead with tweezers. Blood is the color of cranberry juice. It's so over the top it's lost all impact.

Everything is a "critique of modern capitalism" to the right crowd. Are you in college?

It's full of blatant inconsistencies and unrealistic to the point of being comic (and yes I am capable of attenuating my definition of "reality" for shows and movies.) I rarely watch TV but someone made me watch this, and I'm enjoying it as a comedy. Am I in good company or is everyone else taking it seriously?

Social media companies are stifling freedom of speech in America. Have you seen the "Who's banned from Twitter and who's not" meme with Donald Trump and the Taliban? Unpopular or non-conformist opinions are censored, and it's dangerous.

"But it's private companies! They can do whatever they want!" The telephone companies are private. Do they have a right to kill your connection when you talk about unapproved subject matter? Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and so on are the modern de-facto means of communicating long distance and to wide-spread audiences.

"But it's dangerous to let these opinions reach the ears of the masses." Open discourse and trusting society to (eventually) make the right decision, given all available information, is something we've done (or attempted to do) in modern democracies. This is important.

Of course there are positives. But the overall effect will be to stifle advancement. We grow through trial and error.

Tenuously related: Wikipedia articles referencing less than desirable historical figures (e.g. Nazis) are reportedly being deleted en masse.

Did he not have the balls(!) to do it naked as in the original?

Can you comprehend those papers (and by implication have you read them?) If so congratulations - you have a strong academic background in a science related to climate. Most people do not.

What is your Orbital Slingshot project?

The Afghan Army is corrupt. The Taliban is authoritarian. Guess which will occupy the majority of the country in a month or two
