Does anybody have insider details on how HP killed the Memrister? I'd be fascinated to read that, too.

That's why (A)GPL is so handy, it discourages value-extraction. As cwebber says: https://dustycloud.org/blog/why-i-am-pro-gpl/

Let me introduce you to the "germ theory" of disease. It makes more accurate predictions about the world than other disease theories! https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2016/…

That seems optimistic. I would instead expect that those VIPs would be added to a table of folks who don't get tickets, codifying the current semi-formal process.

…but, like drowning, plane crashes aren’t infectious. There might be something to your analogy if a crash in Boise caused everyone in town to come down with a plane to the head, bu…

So, PBS Space Time did a video on this “fine tuned universe” theory and it, like all of their videos, is great. The concept seems to be that in an unbalanced universe, life couldn’…

Then you file a complaint with your favorite reordenarías because somebody skirted the GDPR?

Isn’t that usually called extortion?

Agreed, I only picked up reading again after finding Libby. (A short story about how cheating the user with exorbitant prices results in the exit of your audience.)

I'm around there and am interested in adding new trees to my yard. If you're serious, drop me an email.

Yeah, it seems like it doesn’t break theory, but it’s a potentially useful product instead, and folks are disappointed.

Sadly, there’s no “am I dominating the conversation?” multiplier. That’s the sort of thing I wild have lived to have in a hackerspace’s monthly meeting.

Or, more pithily, always ask "how can you disprove it?" - If you can't, it isn't science and can't be treated as such.

Yeah, confirmed, it's the shadow in dark-mode.

I agree with some of them, but why is the font blurry? My poor eyes. Replace show-trailing-whitespace with automatically-deleting-whitespace, though. (defun x/delete-whitespace () …

That’s the thing: the GPL isn’t there for you, the developer. The GPL exists to ensure freedoms for the user and it does this by requiring responsibilities of the developer. This c…

I never knew there was a “sleigh” in “dogsled,” I’ve only ever heard “sled,” like “slid” or “skid.”

About a dozen years ago, folks estimated that G made about $100M/day from AdWords. That number has probably kept pace with inflation, but even if it hasn’t, they’re committing at m…
