And, “They have been carried away by monkeys!”
I was more thinking I could add it to my Asterisk server to honey-pot the spam callers into an infinite time waster cycle.

I get what you are saying, and I don't think you are wrong, but it has been like 100 monumental changes in 200 years. The demographic shift of the industrial revolution was particularly painful, to be sure. But we seem…

There is likewise no indication that it won't. And if I am looking at a pattern where a thousand careers were destroyed by the advance of technology and were swiftly replaced by tens of thousands of new ones, it is not…

Now that jacquard loom has left so many textile workers unemployed?
I grew up in a small town in rural Alaska that would have been completely under glacier ice when Columbus landed in North America. In the time between Captain Cook exploring the area in the 18th century and the next…
Now ask the same questions about homeless people living in tents down by the river.
This was my thought too, but I figured I just didn't understand the problem. Why use git commands to backup when a file system copy seems like it would do? zfs snapshot takes less than a second on any size repo. zfs…
English was Joseph Conrad's third language.
> It's hard. Dense, convoluted, absurd. These are a few of my favorite things!
Same could be said for the SPLC.
I just got the new M4 iPad like two months ago, and my YubiKeys absolutely did not work, no matter what I tried. There are articles on apple.com and yubikey.com that explain that USB-C YubiKeys will not work with USB-C…
Woah, you are correct. My YubiKey 5C now works with my iPad M4! When did they fix that?? Edit: Looks like it was iPadOS 18.2 released on December 11th.

I think that is also what I am talking about. A big central store is more economically efficient, and as a result the consumer preference, in an economic landscape where Men With Guns have removed every option except…
I don't doubt that the change in regulation enforcement mentioned in the article precipitated the shift away from small grocery stores. But the effects of bad zoning have been building for 100 years since Euclid v.…
Walmart has been making around 2% profits for a decade. Do you think that Walmart is less than 2% cheaper than small neighborhood grocery stores?
> In reality, the inefficiencies matter a lot. Which is how big stores attract customers with lower prices, provided they already have cars to get to them.
Disagree. If most people lived in dense mixed-use neighborhoods where they could walk from home to 90% of the destinations they needed (work, school, groceries, restaurants, entertainment, dentist, etc) they wouldn't…
