If I understand it right, it's possible to produce non-radioactive steel but doing do is just a lot more expensive for the time being than just getting it from old sources.

Disagree that this is a reinvention of cargo pants. IMO it's just borrowing a tighter version of the pocket. The pocket isn't even the same given that cargo pants pockets are patch pockets instead of internal pockets.

Bad idea to let friends in on it, as one of them may mess up.

I think he interpreted the statement as meaning linux displacing Windows on desktop, which isn't happening. Phones are displacing Windows on desktop.

Some good statements, some wrong ones, and a bunch of gibberish.

Well I think it's even more important to consider that if anything you make is exposed to moisture (including simply being in a high humidity environment) then it will expand across the grain. That can cause problems. Favorite story is

God that article is so confusing because it says quarter sawn is one thing, then says it's another thing and has multiple diagrams directly in conflict with each other.

I think it depends on the store. Big box lumber racks are often rummaged by buyers who want the better stuff and an employee who loads it for shipping is left with junk. But a lot of pro lumberyards either don't let people rummage or a

Well any interesting facts would be useful.

> they're expensive Not here in California. All big-box lumber is always less expensive than any lumber yard. I've never seen it otherwise.

The same weakness that resulted in lack of backups may be related to how the intruders were able to get onto the machines in the first place.

Perhaps, but fakers can do that too. Also I expect that the actual effective cost of the individual keys - especially the first - would be more than $10.

The logic for deleting WhatsApp pretty weak and undermines the argument here, especially given the fairly strong encryption WhatsApp uses.

Agreed about the Windows feeling, though the reason I have a Windows laptop (which I use personally more than my MacBook) is that outside of development tools it does far more than Mac or Linux machines.

In my experience this argument is BS. Maybe the computer on day one works OK, but it's downhill from there as you maintain and update.
