What's the going rate for pardons these days?

Seems stable enough, they patched a bunch of things.

The shooter’s final comment in that video I think accurately sums up his mental state: completely disconnected his actions.

With our consumption humans are drawing down on the ‘reserve’ that ecological services have built up. Human activities lack the sophistication of an ecosystem that is in balance an…

I think your judgement here sets aside the value of ecosystems in balance.

Tropical forest ecosystems with introduced species thrive in a way others (e.g. boreal and oak savannas) do not. Not all ecosystems are resilient enough to handle invasive species,…

The post war scientific edifice is being shattered in a monumental act of vandalism. It’s not just defunding childhood cancer research, but also dismantling the very idea of agency…

> Moreover what kind of habit of thought are you in that being called out for that is read as vitriol? That’s as much a matter of personal identity as a ‘habit of thought’, friend.…

Awesome news! I'm glad for the workers and their families. That is a great wage and one that will pay dividends in terms of their health and the health of their communities.

Exactly this. Tbh, i would expect some developer working on this feature to have an ‘a-ha’ moment: ‘I’m a homebrew user … hey wait a minute’

Alternatively, they could extract the compression code and maintain it for repo tags created before the git algo update release date. Isn’t that the only humane course given all th…

In my particular use-case, I'm using a set of local dev tools hosted as a homebrew tap. The build looks up the github tar.gz release for each tag and commits the sha256sum of that …

I think of it as a fitness measure: Are you active enough at moving towards food gathering sites, preparing and surveying the landscape, creating and fine tuning your tools? If it …

Physical votes, people’s lives, including leaderships, were at stake.

It also means that dynamic of political polarization become more prevalent. Imagine being accountable to only one side of the electorate and how that shapes media and institutions.…

Maybe we should use wood instead of plastic.

If we expose people to the most sophisticated system of disinformation ever created in the history of mankind, with no restrictions or supervision of any kind, and then watch democ…

How thin is the barrier between lawful collection and "accidentally" sucking up all the communication in the USA? Seems like a major screwup like this is pretty normal for the NSA.…

Your phrasing is really unfortunate in the sense that it limits our conception of how to deal with other humans. Yes, if we are trying to keep the malignant hoards at bay, then 'in…

For a phenomenological treatment, see The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram. The idea that consciousness exists throughout the world as a gradient is not new. The modern industr…

It shows how much emotion and frustration is directed at Facebook these days. Unfortunately, there's not a clear outlet for that frustration, politically or otherwise.

I sort of get the appeal of a '.dev' TLD, but I wish that google donated the whole thing to those who were using it informally for local development. That would have been a good gi…

Did the OS keep the data or use it in any way beyond what the OS needed for display etc?

The reason that we need a right to be forgotten is encoded in this 'UI-forced' remembering. Forgetting the awkward moments is one thing, but it is natural to be born, grow, and cha…
