> Their preliminary review of studies suggested that it is probably, in fact, useless. This proceeding is now proposing to ban it on the grounds that it's ineffective

Is ineffectiveness really a good reason to ban a substance? Why not just ban labeling it as a medicine instead?

Cool. If there's Photon, PhAb, and everything looks and feels the same like in QNX 6 I'm in. I couldn't even find the download button though. If registration is mandatory then I'm not interested.

Sounds great. I want an openly opinionated wikipedia where a supposed fact is acknowledged as known to possibly exist even when the source is not known (but this should be indicated), where it is Ok to mention an opinion (also labelled) and where nobody deletes "unimportant" pages/facts others write.

> If any client requests /wp-admin, flag their IP ASN as bot.

Sounds brutal. A whole ISP typically is a single ASN and any of their subscribers can be running bots while others don't - isn't this so?

As soon as I attend to a zoom call for some minutes, sleepiness attacks and I have really hard time trying to stay awake.

Can't al LLM just detect a mathematical reasoning task then produce a formula (not even display it in the production mode) to invoke on an external service engineered for formal logical and mathematical computations?

Why should old WMs/DEs add support for Wayland, why not just write new for Wayland specifically?

We should better introduce $50, $100, $500, $1000 and $5000 coins. I'd love my entire salary to come in coins and to be able to pay for any purchase in coins conveniently.

> Brisa pages are dynamically server-rendered JSX components, so there's zero JavaScript shipped to the browser by default.

Why is this good, why not let the client hardware do the client logic?

> an active attitude towards system complexity: Just keep it to a minimum!

I would rather want a rich standard library which exposes all the common system facilities, algorithms and formats conveniently - the so-called "batteries included" approach.

Ideally I believe SmallTalk should be a layer of the operating system (but not try to replace the whole OS and implementations).

Wow I didn't know this is illegal.

Let's be honest. A person who would habitually loose more than half of their monthly income to betting or other things they would do better without is mentally disabled and should not be given money in the first place. Instead they should be given professional care like senile elderly people and underage children receive. The rest can invest their money whatever the way they see fit.

> Is this a good tradeoff between protecting IP to incentivize creation through monetization and the various societal goods of making it widely available? I don't know

The actual current status-quo is. Despite the most of the worthy books being available on pirate websites, people still buy books. Publishers still are not bankrupt. Even independent individuals post "I wrote a book" here every now and then, link to DRM-free purchase pages and seem happy.

I personally spent many hundreds dollars buying DRM-free ebooks on GumRoad and HumbleBundle (despite most of them being on LibGen!). I also bought numerous hardcover paper books after reading their pirated ebook versions.

There is neuroscience though which is a science and can prove things like depression and schizophrenia exist (many distinct kinds of both, possible to distinguish using MRI). Sadly there aren't many neuroscientists and MRI machines available to general public so we still have to rely on psychiatrists for help when our neural system goes awry. In many cases they actually help.

> I don't know how to download all of Libgen.

See https://wiki.mhut.org/distribution:torrents

I just hope enough capable people will download everything to be able to create mirrors again someday. Perhaps the darknet can turn out a better place.

> Soviet Russia used to have amazing collection

Meanwhile they still have flibusta.is where almost any book ever published in Russian can be downloaded one-click as structured XML (FB2) and the maintainer is dying of brain cancer right now after having paid for the server to run for some more weeks. Russian is among the top languages in terms of the amount of books published in it. Apparently we are witnessing two great libraries of humanity dying at the same time.

LibGen is the most important achievement of humanity. It is much more important to keep it going than the most of sovereign countries.

Does PyCharm support it already?

> Throwing plastic on the ground instead of in a bin is already illegal, and often carries $1000 fines if you are caught.

Is this ever enforced anywhere outside Singapore? I don't think anybody cares.

> you're not solving the plastic pollution problem, you are only sending your waste to pollute Thailand.

Every time I walk a road in Thailand, also anywhere else, I pick up every piece of trash I stumble upon to throw it into the first bin I encounter. Thanks G-d I haven't been to the places where there is too much garbage and no bins.

> blaming consumers

Why not blame consumers which would dispose their garbage wherever they want instead of a bin? I would rather criminalize this. It's so easy to put an empty plastic bottle in a bin yet they insist on throwing it on the ground.

Didn't anybody try to build a 4004 core running at some hundreds MHz?

Running a modern kernel on a 4004 just doesn't sound too far from running it on an incandescent light bulb or on a potato. No doubt sorcerer level engineering.

Mine doesn't seem to have any problem with batteries. Just "airways blocked" error no matter what I do and the warranty/support service isn't very helpful. So I'm looking for a similar-or-better quality clone (cordless vacuum with the laser thing) but with better service.

> - Dyson's some batteries are notorious for killing themselves via firmware on slight cell imbalance instead of doing self-balancing. Dyson prioritize "steady income via killing good parts early" instead of "building the best vacuum possible".

Any good alternatives?

Why even use any software, why can't it be fully analog manual control?

I believe having time to be bored (not by doing boring work but by doing nothing) is extremely important for mental health.

This depends. Some people just are tired, but some live burtn out, I mean like this[1]. In some cases even having much less real work to do, just because being much more sensitive to some specific stressors they have in their lives. Some burnt out, also some genuinely depressed people still manage being (even without proper medication) reasonably functional and live this way for decades. A 15-hour sleep followed by a day of doing nothing can be a relief even though you can't really recover any close to fully this quick.

I get your point and upvote though.

This depends. As an adult your don't necessary "have money". You can only say you "have money" in a useful sense when you have spare money after paying for all the essentials. And this is far from being the case for every adult.
