"sólo tratábamos de salir de vi!" :-D
-
being surprised by the lyrics of songs I've heard a lot is not unusual to me. it happened most often with songs in foreign languages, when I learned the song before the language, but just the other day I paid attention to the lyrics of a song in my native language, that I must have heard very often, and was surprised by the words, what they meant, and the poetry in it
-
a very interesting case of metamorphosis indeed!
brings me vague memories of ender's game, speaker for the dead and xenocide (the pequeninos and the other species in lusitania) to mind. thank you!
-
gee, that's so unfair
the date, the page numbers and the newspaper name are usually correct!
-
I'd leave the can alone and focus on the beans
cans don't make great meals unless you're a goat or an ostrich :-)
-
I thought using it was its own punishment

a web site that does your computing is SaaSS (service as a software substitute) unless you operate it yourself. SaaSS is ethically worse than nonfree software, even if the software used to operate the service respects the service provider's freedoms. See https://www.fsfla.org/blogs/lxo/pub/wwworst-app-store

Is vaccination the rational personal choice? https://www.draketo.de/politik/covid-vaccination-rational

thank you for writing and sharing, and for sparing me from writing it myself! I've been meaning to write something along these lines for quite a while :-)

are crypto coins like countries, in that if they feel a need to advertise in their names that they're a democratic republic, they most often aren't?
-
funny... maybe they have so much stuff going on that they can't afford to stop to fix something of as little importance as a bell. maybe the bell is just not relevant for them. maybe, if it's important to you, you should fix it yourself, or hire them to fix it so it works for you? point is, what freedom is that when you impose your priorities on others, and criticize them for having their own?
-
*nod*. the very point of adding something to a distributed crypto blockchain is to have it copied all over. objecting to others' having copies of it is like running an ad on broadcast tv and then complaining that your neighbor watched it, or recorded it
-
I call it free bait
-
would you believe such a commitment without being given the ability to verify it?
-
*nod*, I'd long realized someone might crack into idIoT devices and start running miners, I just hadn't got to the realization that mining for third parties could be a designed-in misfeature
-
thanks for the data points, and for the ideas.
I guess I wouldn't mind if my electric kettle heated up by mining cryptocurrency for me
I can picture IoT pushers turning that around and getting people to pay for the devices, the power and the networking, while it runs cryptocoin miners for the manufacturers. I wonder if they aren't doing that already...
-
I wonder if slow hashers can still manage to get any of the bounty (*) I got the idea that the ever-faster hashing race ended up awarding pretty much only the fastest hashers, so any older equipment would quickly end up hashing only for the heat anyway, at which point the computing and networking infrastructure would be wasteful. are you really saying that even old computers could be used to generate heat *and* mine cryptocurrency in the process?
(*) I was looking for this word and somehow kept hitting bait :-/
-
an idIoT shower mining cryptocoin.
what could possibly go wrong?
speakers, mikes and cameras?
