Fish do not work that way. If humans nuke themselfs, fish will recover in a few decades.

Why do you thing "public view" is something good. And why should I expose myself to that pain?!

It is active war zone. Civilian aircrafts should not be near it!

A literal ton of cargo in a trailer is nothing extraordinary. Did you ever lived on a farm?

Extra parking would bring in "poor" people who live in France, Italy or Germany but commute to work in Switzerland. Just another form of elitism.

Unsupported devices can always become somehow supported and enabled. To harden computer, you remove WiFi cards, cut on-board antennas, desolder mics and speakers, desolder USB ports...

I did that for computer that was used to sign bitcoin transactions offline. User typed hashes manually...

But that elimites purpose for Ada. Rust has better type system to deal with this.

If I remember correctly, Ada was much slower compared to C. Stuff like boundary checks on arrays has a cost.

It is the process that makes it hard and expensive. Even bringing this to court costs money.

Extracting money from normal people is nearly automated.

There is always some person punishable.

I bet it is not profitable to enforce such fines!

Speeding tickets are hard to prove. Normal small person just pays fines with zero cost to police. Big corporation have lawyers, and will fight it, with all camera evidence from self driving car...

They are clear with their agenda: new global payment and settlement system. Western financial systems are unreliable.

IE was pretty innovative, it introduced AJAX (async javascript requests...), web version of Outlook in 1998...

There was also Opera browser, pretty innovative, it introduced tabs, mouse gestures, user styles, no script, basic adblocking... It could run on anything, even phone without MMU.

New comment by Throw839 in "The quality of your life is the quality of the people you get to know"

Throw839 — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 18:28:32 +0000

I would invert the title a bit:

The quality of your life strongly depends on how many bad people you manage to avoid.

People are mostly OK and reasonable to deal with. Some super duper partner will not increase quality of your life 10 times. There is still work, kids and so on.

But bad partner or friend can easily make your life 10x worse, or even put you in jail.

> there are Diminishers and there are Illuminators.

Self-help bs. Normal people are too busy with their lives and paying bills , and will not do some monkey dance to "illuminate" your path.
