Do see the "limitations" section: github-backup is repository-focused. It does not try to back up other information from GitHub. In particular, social network stuff, like users who…

Microwave just the water, then put the teabag in after. Then it will taste the same.

It deletes the remote branch entirely, and then uploads the local branch.

This has nothing to do with git. It has to do with github. Git already prohibits forced pushes if you use 'git init --shared' to create your repo.

Speed bumps such as being required to specify --force?

> his continued assertion that he should not have been allowed to do this thing that he did. Well, if the repositories were created with "git init --shared" then it wouldn't have b…

Put otherwise: to sort them all it's O(n/5*(5 log 5)) = O(n).

There's some choice involved in whether to have children... until you have them. There's also some choice involved in whether you are making enough money to support your children -…

In poor countries, children are an economic win because they can be made to work for their parents. In rich countries, children are an economic loss because they can't be (both by …

Sunlight does not approach the cost of zero when there is private ownership of land. The legal right to collect the sunlight is attached to the land. Securing that legal right cost…

It kind of sounds good but then you realize it's completely insane. Do you want to go back to pre-industrial agriculture?? That is a waste of land. There probably is not enough eve…

Just because you're billing $40/hr doesn't mean you're well above marginally employed. We're talking about a 2 hour gig here. There's likely to be at least 2 unbillable hours invol…

> I want my house cleaned for less than $80 (note: 2 hour job). First of all, I doubt there's anywhere in the USA you couldn't get responses to a craigslist ad offering $40/hr for …

> It's $80 for 2 hours. You can survive within commuting distance of Manhattan on $15/hour Not if you only get two hours of work! That $80 for 2 hours has thousands of dollars in o…

Actually we could just refuse to enforce contracts in which future BI income is leveraged for debt. That's already done with certain kinds of retirement assets.

Even with BI guaranteed to all, not everyone would receive it because of income tax withholdings.

So... if a restaurant owner gets his rocks off by forcing the waitresses to blow him, that's fine as long as the place is profitable?

You talk about poor people as if they are a different kind of human being from "normal" people. In fact, 80% of USA citizens are poor at _some_ point in their life. _Most_ people e…

Generally it works so that you get paid to do things for rich people, but if you do those things for poor people you don't get paid.

You can have A/C, cable TV, meals, and still have a totally unstable housing situation, unable to maintain personal property over the long-term... Sorry but just because TV is chea…

Why is it a problem? Someone wants to live modestly, trading consumer power for free time. Why do we need to stop them?

Ah, but it's not libertarian in the sense of total sovereignty for owners. The workers would start to backtalk!

They don't, actually. "socially beneficial activities that are not compensated" -- doesn't apply equally well. "most efficiently delivered through a direct cash transfer, rather th…

It would be if you lied to people and told them that you made the pens. The example you chose is deliberately one in which it would be assumed that you were not asserting authorshi…

Smirnoff is nowhere near the cheapest vodka. That's not a bottom shelf vodka. It is literally not on the bottom shelf of liquor stores. C.f. Popov vodka for literally _half_ the pr…
