Lights go out, lights come back and the detective is dead.

But I guess Monty Python already made that one.

Well, differently from the movie, she can always “unchoose”.

You are missing some of the yeast.

so they assume that Americans on the right would feel the same way

Hum… They seem to be reacting quite strongly to finding out their leader is a hypocrite.

They just care about him being a hypocrite on different things.

The emails seem to be real. If the people there are telling the truth, it’s your guess.

Well, if they get any market share in phones, that will mean the phone market will be less of a monopoly, not more.

And yes, they are a monopoly in gaming. They haven’t exploited that monopoly yet, but as companies go, it’s just a matter of time until something happens and changes that. That doesn’t make them getting into phones bad.

Oh no, that’s getting way too disingenuous for my taste.

The entire problem with what Trump did is because he run a homophobic campaign and is supported by a homophobic voter base. The entire reason Putin having photos is an issue is because it can destroy his entire political life. Every single person knows that. There’s no “in a free, liberal society” rationalizing here, Trump is not supported by people that believe in a free, liberal society.

You should worry if Putin has the photos.

Nobody was suggesting we round up all the immigrants, criminalize homosexuality, segregate people by race, and deny women rights over their own bodies in the 1960s and 70s.

Old people were. There was entire movement around it.

Those people weren’t the old ones at the time.

imagine if people who came of age in the 1950s were to just live forever ruling over the rest of us and imposing their standards and beliefs generation after generation

I really recommend you look at history because most of those people did not have the values you associate with them back then in the 1960s and 1970s.

The problem with the gerontocracy is not really the inter-generational differences.

Yes. Those are the ones that made web ads revolutionary and replaced all of the ad industry. Those are the ones that gave all the clear results.

And targeted ads have been highly related to fraud since the beginning.

How long until you have literally forgotten the person you have been before.

Hum… Probably some 5 to 10 years. Maybe less.

All those philosophical questions about personhood permanence (like the transporter one too) are a joke when compared to how impermanent people actually are.

I imagine there’s something about Clinton on the Epstein emails, like everybody expects. But I’m also out of the loop.

Well, by “reversed” I meant that the cable has pins, and the computer has slots, what is the inverse of serial. Not that it’s upside down.

You can’t plug a serial cable in it and make it work, no matter how much force you apply. You can probably do the opposite, and plug a VGA cable on the serial port with the exact right amount of force, though.

Once people start to openly justify the bubble by the rationality of the greater fool theory, they tend to pop very quickly.

This time things are different in that there is an actual caste of people with infinite money that can only pop one bubble if they inflate another one (or if the government stops giving them money, but I wouldn’t bet on that). And there doesn’t seem to exist anything big enough to take all that money. So it’s hard to imagine the bubble popping mechanics working here.

Ouch, I just assumed it was the serial port and didn’t even look how it’s reversed. There must be all kinds of fun things you can do by hand-writing VGA data.

As I understand it, the data there is the histogram of z-value observed by some census of published papers.

They should make a normal curve, but the publishing process is biased. (On the best case, otherwise the research process would be biased.)

Yes, but if you shoot the airfryer, you won’t have an airfryer anymore.

It’s a badly assembled fork of Debian that doesn’t have the same maintenance work and will both break sooner or later and have really large odds of not ever completely working.

Tried Suse and Red Hat before Fedora existed… Also a lot of stuff that isn’t on this graph, and made a system from scratch two times because of strict requirements.

No plans of moving from Debian. Why TF can one argue that those two are more productive? The only reason to use Fedora in particular is if you are stuck with it due to some hardware or contractual requirement.
