I remember getting my first commit into Packer, you review, approved and merged it. It was one of the best days of my (fairly early) coding life because I think your work is amazing and I was so happy to contribute something back. Thanks fo

Living in Japan right now...it's sure been a very bizarre time watching cases in Tokyo go from ~ 1000 in Tokyo down to 300 in about a week with no apparent explanation!

In curious about this, does it snow so heavily for 5 months there would be no way to clear the panels? I mean they're installed at an angle to start with so how does the snow build up? Could panels not be designed with inbuilt defroste

It really has been a frightenly strange winter here in Australia. I remember the first two months of winter here on the east coast feeling like spring, with almost no rain. Pretty unnerving to be honest!

People pay for meat not from stores because slaughter is a difficult, physically demanding, messy and potentially psychologically distressing job. Not just because "butchers are good at it". All I'm refuting is the statement

What evidence do you have to support the idea that people "did it with 'no problems'"? Why does the profession of a "Butcher" exist ? How about Hindu's, Buddhists etc? Maybe people used to enjoy a a more

I'm glad someone said this! Like a lot of cheap goods available presently in the west, they often have a low monetary cost but a high social and environmental cost. IKEA furniture has had a dubious past, for example [1] and, cheap clot

This is really funny (sadly) and too true! If having a decent internet connection is even a slight prirority for someone in Australia, then it's really important to investigate what the internet is like before signing any papers! If yo

Even if it wasn't about about "super-fast", people need "super-reliable internet", if relying on old copper, that's probably not going to be a reality. If paying for 25Mbit/s, that is what one should get.

I think those graphs seem to present positive and hopeful metrics about the state of the world and the future; However, I also believe they're an over simplification of the extremely complex and interconnected world which live in, glos

"and better access to technology for even the poorest folk" I hear this one a lot, I don't think it matters or is relevant. I've spent time in third world countries I met people sleeping, working and eating in rubish dum

Wonderful write up, I travelled for about 3 months without mobile data recently, it was a blast, the freedom was refreshing and the interactions amazing. Actually asking locals for directions etc was really interesting and informative. I lo

I've experimented with lamps and candles for better sleep. It seems devices and television give me sleeping problems more than anything else, even using flux etc. One really positive change I made in the past is to put my phone in anot

That’s how we got cell phones from a toy for Wall Street to something that’s helping the poorest of the poor all over the world I just don't see it, after spending time in third world countries I believe this is a false statement. I

Is this something you need a source for? People have been "producing" music using computer assited software for decades. I know people who have produced whole albums without ever touching an instrument and who know nothing about m

I don't think it really matters, humans can still innovate radical new art works anyway. That's all this stuff is based on, existing master works, it's just an augmentation. Besides, a LOT of the music people listen to is alr

I agree, after living there for a while I couldn't really see the sense in allowing people to consume or sell something that was produced illegally. Anyway, it's as shame to see things going backwards in Netherlands ;(

Thtat's probably more of a self-sacrifice type thing so the mother get's all the nutrients she needs to raise her offspring, not an invite for humans to eat more Octopi.

I guess you could say the same for Humans we too have dens or homes, and often return to them after an adventure.
