However Michael Crichton imagined it would.

I find it odd that you would have commands in ~/bin but not have it be the highest priority in your PATH. I use ~/.local/bin, but would never type it because i wouldn't have bins t…

Complications after surgery to remove a cancerous tumor?

Correct, the Peshitta translations of the Gospels were done in the 5th century ce. They were not closer to the Hebrew of the original as you suggested. If you like it better that's…

But the Peshitta is 300 years after the Septuagint and the verse you mention was written in Greek in a gospel, not the Hebrew Bible. I don't know how the translators of the Peshitt…

Everything is about X, because I can redefine X to mean anything.

I think you can if you self pay, but insurance only pays in certain circumstances.

It's only a problem if I have my browser set to use dark theme or system theme and my system theme is dark if I switch it to light theme. Everything looks good. So most likely he's…

Also, you can spin up an ec2/azure/google vm pretty easy too. I do this frequently and it only costs a few bucks. Often more convenient to have it in the data center anyway.

I was sure the parent was being sarcastic, but maybe not.

So what person is running an SSH server and configuring it to use post-quantum crypto, but is using password Auth? Priorities are out-of-whack. Not that this is a bad thing, but fi…

I was here about a year ago. Getting close to doing 5k 4 times a week, but the last 2k are more walk than run. I'm definitely more interested in getting endurance over speed, but b…

I don't read it the way you say. The more restrictive terms are for use of services. If you use firefox, you have to agree not to use the Mozilla services for the prohibited catego…

The use of the noun copy probably came from the act of copying, but both uses predated the word copyright, so that doesn't really help answer the question.

Forgery would require trying to pass off the copy as an original. As long as it is not pretending to be something it isn't, it is just a replica, not a forgery.

Any proof that the word copyright was intentionally referring to the noun instead of the verb? The British Statute of Anne in 1710, the first copyright statute, definitely referred…

> Peter the Great waged the Great Northern War for 21 years. On the face of it, he was at war with Sweden taking something away from it… He was not taking away anything, he was ret…

In case no one else noticed, Yyyy is not real. Its caused by automatic capitalization of yyyy in the HN title.

These articles both demonstrate Putin's desire to restore historical Russian boundaries. He usually references the Empire rather than the USSR. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/presiden…

Countdown until the nutrition influencers start pushing them.

Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.

I couldn't tell from the article but it seems the $225k was a settlement, and the release of all patents was additionally part of the settlement - I doubt the court could have awar…

I see the title was fixed here. The original said 30x more vitamins, but it is only beta-carotene. They created a version of lettuce that has a little more beta carotene than Kale,…

Yes - it's fun that its a bit messy, but it also seems to write the same letter in very different ways in the same session. It should at least use consistent patterns for writing e…
