I'm offended. Remove this at once dang. This is gender stereotyping and misogyny. We don't need this kind of harangueing in here.

I asked "why doesn't apple allow or support it", not "why can't it be done?"

Why was the harangueing ok when Adrienne was doing it? Was it because it was done with the proper political bent?

If you dont show someone an ad, that's not discrimination. It's just not advertising to a group of people.

Please don't talk about gender discrimination in other industries? Is that wrongthink? Dang, please don't allow people to post about these topics if you don't like facts that are inconsistent with your or others' pre-app

I wonder why apple doesn't allow or support Linux? I would happily buy a Mac pro (trashcan) or a mbp if it had solid Linux support. I think their hardware is awesome. But I have no interest in learning MacOS. The dealbreaker for me i

I wonder if you could compromise and use powdered concrete in a closed system? High powered fans could blow the fine powder upward in a silo so it would act like a liquid. Then large paddlewheels catching the powder could power a generator

I think the reverse of what he said was true: that tuition has risen artificially because of all the free money. But yeah I'm also skeptical that tuition would decrease even close to the same way if the money were removed. I think they

The same "they" you are referring to. The ones writing the checks. I don't care about the precise technicality that enables wage suppression. I literally don't care. The constitution also says no spying on Americans, but

> but then the government pays... That's my point. They have the money, but something-something..."policy"...something-something.... It goes to corporations instead of people.

Shows a contradiction/hypocrisy. They have the money, but just choose to spend it on corporations and not humans.

I'm surprised they didn't do something truly clandestine like embed encrypted texts into photos of merchandise and list them on amazon/alibaba

What about the Rosenbergs?

Yeah it's barbaric what the Chinese do to spies. Next thing you know they'll be waterboarding prisoners or holding people without trial for a decade. Good thing we're superior westerners, huh?

But they have no qualms about paying "market rate" to defense contractors to build all their toys.

I learned this the hard way when I realized CUPS (printing services) is a dependency on almost any major desktop app. I thought "I don't own a printer, probably will never need one, let's remove this superfluous printer softw

It's wasteful, but probably no more than injection molding factories that make cheap plastic junk.

That must means more fuel is building up and burning all at once. Fires are an integral part of the forest ecosystem.
23.
by mikec3010 8y ago
I blame firefighting causing forest change. Firefighting causing fuel levels to build up to unprecedented densities. Who put out fires before we started? Nobody. Nature handles that fine herself. But leave it to us to try to "improve&q

You admit space is uninhabited. Your unnecessary and petulant copy/paste of the definition of pollution includes the words "poisonous" and "harmful". Which isn't possible to do to an uninhabited area. I have no

by mikec3010 8y ago
Pollution is intimately tied to politics because most inhabited property is owned, which means it's regulated by some governmental systems having varying degrees of regulation and penalties for pollution. I have no idea why that has to

You would do this at home because that is where residential PV is located. Of course it's more obvious to send the power back down the wire and, as you said, convert to hydrogen centrally. My question looks silly now in contrast, but

Pollution is undesirable on earth because it causes us harm from which we can't escaoe or reverse. The idea of "polluting" spacetime makes no more sense than humans "polluting" the natural organization of air molecu

Could you store renewable energy via electrolysis, and instead of having storage tanks of dangerous hydrogen at home, pump the gas back into a grid? Most houses have natural gas lines and those are relatively safe. Would it be viable to ha

I would like to see a similar evolution in paperwhite displays. To have a 17" or larger display with a tiling window manager stacked with urxvt terminals running zsh and vim. I think this would be a great alternative UI conducive to co
