They should really have the right to vote!
This is clearly someone who thinks the mantle is an actual burning fire and doesn't understand that it is molten rock. "I don't get how that fire burns without oxygen" Well, it's not a fire...
Maybe I'm stupid but could someone enlighten me as to what "intellectual tourism" might mean? Is that like, a normal person pretending to be intellectual, or is it like browsing Wikipedia with no specific purpose except…
I cannot possibly encourage you more to check out magit. It is unbelievably good. I always share this demo with people to show off just a tiny portion of what it's capable of doing…
It's $350 million in economic activity brought to or generated in the city, not in tax revenue. You can see the breakdown here. https://explore.sxsw.com/hubfs/2019%20SXSW%20Economic%20Impa...
You're confusing GDP with GDP per capita, and also 350,000,000 / 1,460,000,000 = 0.23972602739 and to convert that to a percentage you multiply by 100 so you get 23.973% as the result.
According to this[1], SXSW brings Austin about $350 million annually. According to Wikipedia, Austin's annual GDP is about $1.5B so 350/1500 = roughly 23% of the city's annual GDP. Anecdotally I know of many people who…
Local businesses are a huge part of Austin's culture
It's a typo, he meant porn
Hol' up, are you saying that there's a reason besides economics that the government might introduce protectionist trade measures to keep some critical manufacturing domestic for use during an emergency when you cannot…
Everything after your first "but" contradicts what comes before it. Should people who are at more risk get priority? Because if they should, then yes, people with regular immune systems SHOULD in fact just suck it up…
> One of the reasons we decided to release the app was so friends of ours who are immunocompromised could use it. Understandable, but it becomes a gold rush if people with normal immune systems use sites like yours to…
Well then I'm glad that the blog post linked above was written, because obviously this situation was confusing when I set up Synapse a couple years back. I might not be a genius but I'm not stupid, either, and I'm…
Hi, my wife is on an immunosuppressant and so we have been trying to avoid going to the store at all, except curbside, because it could be extremely bad if she were to get COVID-19. Save for a single emergency, no one…
I'm sorry if I was unclear, but > All it does is keep track of email->matrix ID mappings for users who have published them This is what I mean by "it leaks the userlist." Matrix (the organization) stores the email…
If you use the Matrix identity server, which is required to have federation, the 3rd party identity server operated by the Matrix organization retains a list of your usernames. They don't tell you up front about this,…
This is interesting because the GP, I think, didn't intend to say "private" to mean "privately held", but I think it's worthwhile to note that GameStop and Guitar Center are publicly traded while H-E-B is still family…
Are you a doctor? Can you explain why a study about influenza would apply to SARS-CoV-2? Or is your doubt baseless speculation?
Wow, say what you will about whatever economic theories you're attacking, "America Brain" (with the obvious implication that you're calling the person stupid because they're American and hold some view you view as…
Every generation inherits a world full of the problems created or only half-solved by the generation before it. It's not unique to our generation and it won't be unique to the next one, unless the young people are the…
I just think it's extremely irresponsible to downplay the addictive power of nicotine and it's a theme I see recur frequently on this forum. I have a caffeine addiction as well, and have broken and restarted it multiple…
Are you joking? When I quit I had a month of full on panic attacks over the tiniest things, and I only vaped for 5 years. I don't understand the motive for downplaying the addictive potential of nicotine unless you're…
That's funny, that sounds like exactly the kind of lie I used to tell myself when I was addicted. Nicotine is a powerful force for rationalization of your addiction to it.
I hate to tell you this, but it's not Emacs that's slow and clunky, it's Spacemacs. I dumped Spacemacs and spent a couple days building a new config with everything I used from Spacemacs and it is a good 10x faster. It…
One benefit? Did you mean to say "the most obvious downside" instead?
