I don't think the US and China hold very different opinions on this question. China is very capitalist and has long ago sold off most of its older, Soviet style state enterprises. …

Once you reach that state, you cannot accomplish anything like that.

I looked into this recently and it seems like it is basically impossible to pre-arrange assisted suicide for alzheimer's or dementia. Even in countries which allow death with digni…

I think Chinese Consumer preferences are driving a lot of this. They want things to be as high tech as possible, and don’t seem to care about longevity.

IMO the best practice is to leave dependencies unpinned, but use a lock file, and only update the lock file a few times a year. Upgrade enough that you don’t get stuck, but not oft…

If you are really into EVs, like the author clearly is, than what is happening to Tesla is just sad. Tesla is being run into the ground. It was, and could be, the great American EV…

That's a very surprising finding since the drop in traffic was very noticeable. I wonder where the PM2.5 is coming from?

The Hare theory is a better story, regardless of whether it is true. I am surprised that it hasn't seeped into pop science lore.

I'm in the exact same boat. I spend too much time on YT and only thing I really want it for is ASL. I'll probably try the plugin.

This is a great idea. I always thought that if there has to be online gambling, it should be a government monopoly, and it should be managed by the most incompetent employees.

Did you read the post? It has nothing to do with web apps.
