stazz1··on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit
It was a political assassination done by someone who vehemently disagreed with certain viewpoints. The details about the shooter clearly indicate which end of the political spectrum he was on. Kimmel's comments were grossly inaccurate and wildly irresponsible.
stazz1··on Reinterpreting/Reconciling the Periodic Table with Buddhist Elemental Theory
That's a scathing reply that seems unwarranted. If you start with the question "why isn't fire on the periodic table?" you might answer, "fire is a process" but if we probe slightly we can find that all the elements of the periodic table are processes and not static unchanging entities. That is the truth highlighted by quantum physics and the makeup of atoms. I'm not certain why you felt entitled to post a rude comment on my work bridging 2 disparate domains in a sensible and logical way.
stazz1··on SimulaVR Has Been Subpoenaed by Meta Platforms, Inc
The interesting takeaway is that even if you don't consider SimulaVR a competitor of Meta, Meta does O_O
stazz1··on Jack Dorsey texts Elon Musk, March 26, 2022
Really interesting that Dorsey unironically says "governments" instead of "government" and expects us to believe that Twitter has not been aiding and abetting foreign assets after that whistleblower testimony came to light in Congress

stazz1··on Let’s Not Have a Beer
Alcohol is superseded by superior, less bodily destructive, mind-expanding alternatives in 2022. Plus, you cannot talk someone out of being drunk - they must process it. Many young people in their thirties are drinking themselves to death. It's a tragedy, we should really kick the alcohol. To be clear, I think the other things (some on the famous "schedule") should be legalized instead.
stazz1··on FedNow FAQ
Thanks for this clarification. I had a hunch it was a weird mix of the two. In reality I'm glad congresspeople don't have a lens into the money printing business.

stazz1··on Clojure needs a Rails
I reckon nobody opposes your fine idea, simply that when a template is transformed enough to be a useful web app starting point, it's often too opinionated to be generally applicable! But maybe the next time I start a few web apps I will think about how I can keep it a clean template as long as possible -- might go somewhere cool.

stazz1··on Apple has a bug in its disk I/O throttling code that affects raw disk copies
i'm curious if bits can be altered and the checksum is the same -- it seems like checksum is for file length but not necessarily contents?
