    If NPM users haven't learned by now they can't rely on that infrastructure, then maybe it's time to review your process. Live by the upstream, die by the upstream. Therefore I host my own upstream.

    Yup exactly. There is absolutely no relation to dictatorial regime giving up their harshest weapons and a following overthrow and torture of the dictator. Just ask Gaddafi's asshole.

    Kim Jong-un has every reason to immediately appease those appalled by his human rights atrocities. #Winning

    That would have been acceptable among many other phrases like "may be riddled". Like the universe may riddled with life given the known occurrence of one instance and probabilities of scale.

    Major browsers have executed things for years in a sandbox. Let that show a sandbox not really a sufficient mechanism in itself.

    Then get back to me when addressed. Until then you cannot be 'riddled with' 1 bullet hole.

    Because everything looks like a "Post" button when you're strongly opinionated and grossly under informed.

  7. My understanding is that there was one app with one script containing the problematic issue.

    While the whole repo thing seems to be another in a long line of Canonical great ideas, this one instance doesn't seem to fit "riddled with".

    Example usage: Canonical is riddled with unqualified people making unjustified promises and changes to things they don't really seem to understand in the first place. Similar to Mars One or SystemD.

  8. Wait, did I miss something? I thought we were still trying to make AI. Or did they mean algorithmically? Because the terms should not be conflated.

  9. Your usage of "well documented" falls short of my definition. If Jesus did exist he may well have been a terrorist, but I'd like to see of contemporary evidence of that to start.

    Canonical's Shelf of Broken Dreams is well stocked. It's just one more in a long line of abysmal, over-ambitious failures. However it can still be argued Wayland is still in a Failure-in-Waiting status.

    It likely wasn't from rats or their fleas. Fleas and even more so lice are largely species specific. There are actually two types of human inhabiting lice, our head lice and the pubes lice. It's interesting to know the difference.

    While I agree with your sentiment in general, perhaps this wasn't a good comparison. Apple would be defunct now had not MS(or potentially another) stepped in a saved them.

    If you and millions of others had looked for tornadoes and never produced real evidence only anecdotal sightings for generations, then I think you're pretty safe in asserting there is no reason to assume tornadoes exist.

    Contrary to popular belief absence of evidence is evidence of absence, just not proof of absence.

  16. Sure he can. Read history. It's true enough technology contributed to a world-wide decline of family farms, however the impact in US was much higher during Reagan's terms due to his approach to farmers. You'll also notice the smaller family farms were effected much more harshly than corporate ones.

    > When mass production came into play, they had to convince farmers to move out of rural communities to come work at factories in the city.

    No, this is not what happened.

  18. It's supposed to be a equal branch and that particular office is mostly the end all and be all for it. If you think it's unconstitutional, then it should be decided with the judicial branch as it was with the Trump travel ban. Otherwise by saying the same office which you say is acting outside the scope of the constitution by enacting DACA, is the same office ending it under the auspice.

    No, I asked to see a specific person's research to illustrate education doesn't make you immune to tinfoil hat syndrome.

    Teflon is not the perfectly inert substance it was once touted to be

    Teflon was never touted to be "perfectly inert" by the inventors. What some others may have claimed without evidence says more about what they would like to believe than anything else. As always, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

    Also being "inert" isn't a measure of safety or toxicity, oxygen is one of the least inert substances known. Go check out some insecticides inert ingredients and see if you would want to be exposed to them.

    I'll also note if you abuse your traditional non non-stick pan with cooking oils at similar temperatures you will kill birds and sicken yourself and expose yourself to carcinogens. So keep that tinfoil real tight lest bad knowledge get into your mind.
