Slow networks != Bad networks. Bad networks could be slow, or drop random packets, or corrupt packets, or have jitter, etc

At least UV is still open source, it would suck to have to fork and foe there to be yet another python package management tool(what is this JS?), but we can do it.

IIRC there are several of the "Blue Zones" where just bad government records. (People who had incorrect birth dates, or had already died and the government just didn't know about it)

Do you think we became the dominant species by being independent loners, or by forming complex interdependent groups?

This. Sure there are still some applications that might be difficult to v6 enable, so either patch it or use one of the myriad of options to give it a v6 front end.

Hmmmm maybe someone should come up with a SYSTEM to organize NAMES for ips, maybe using hierarchical DOMAINs.... Oh wait.

For a major airport the answer is always no. LGA is in the 20 top busiest airports in the nation serving it's largest metro area.

If LGA was a small regional airport, sure one controller or maybe even no controls overnight could be appropriate. But LGA is not a small regional airport.

The council is made up of heads of state, so no more undemocratic than your own countries executive, and the commission is selected by the Council and approved by the EU parliament.

That's great that you're doing that, every deployment of renewables is a net positive. But local deployments in the burbs won't be enough to power out factories, office buildings, data centers, etc. also some people (A LOT of people actually) live in apartments or condos, so it's not just a financial barrier, they physically don't have the space.

We still need these large scale deployments to make meaningful progress in decarbonizing.

Version tags should obviously be immutable, and if you want to be automatically updated you can select 1.0.*, if you don't you just pick the version tag.

Increases in supply also increase consumption, we use lots of cheap stuff, but not very much of expensive stuff.

Ooo this makes sense it's like if the Linux had don't break users space AND a whole bunch of other purely internal APIs you also can't refactor.
