macOS Forge shut down in 2016. All those links are to the new homes of the projects.

Ignoring the irrelevance of this comment to the parent, this is a bizarre aphorism.

Why is it so hard to believe that the players at a poker table couldn't be evenly matched?

I would love to read a tutorial on that if you know of one.

Perhaps the frequency illusion bias?

AWD cars are great, I own a Subaru that does fine about 90% of the time.

There are still days that it stays at home and the trucks and SUVs come out because the snow depth is above the bumper.

Who said I live in MA?

I suppose that's what makes it "total".

Having lived in both places, commuting in northern New England this time of year often means that you're not driving on a surface a Silicon Valleyite would consider a "road"

Why is your TV connected to your network if you're going to block it's address at the router?

It wasn't but it increasingly is getting to that point. You take off (with fly by wire adjustments from the computer) from Airport A and tell it to fly to Airport B and it can even automatically land there.

Some airlines do not allow pilots to manually fly above 3k feet, nor allow first mates to land manually[0].

If it was an accident and not the result of negligence or malice, what is the crime for which the developer would be prosecuted?

If the developer was negligent or malicious in their duties, why not prosecute them?

The hospital does account for ~33% of revenues[0], but the Med School and the Hospital also account for ~55% of total expenses[1] so it doesn't seem entirely unfair to include them in the revenue stream.

But because it's distributed, you can be the origin for hundreds of pages on a tiny $5 vps and when popularity increases you would not have to shoulder all the load.

While there are certainly guns that are suitable for shooting people, have you seen a gun manufacturer advertise its products as being suitable for any illegal purpose?

They are extremely careful with their marketing language, and I have never seen any reference to shooting another person without it being heavily couched in castle doctrine / home defense language. They're not out there marketing their wares as being better for hitmen.

Despite it being legal nonsense, it's all about finding the right Judge.

Perhaps there is more bandwidth in Marshall, TX now that they don't have all those pesky patent cases.

I own no cryptocurrencies, and I have no idea why it is any more challenging to track than trading stocks, you buy at one price and sell at another.

What am I missing?

Why do you assume no returns in those 25 years of retirement?

Why do those distinctions matter when considering retirement? They all go into the same pool in the end.

The answer is not much churn[0], rich stay rich and poor stay poor. Though the situation is not much different than it was a generation prior[1].

The slate article to which r00fus linked is based on that dataset. The graph you linked is literally the first one on the page.

Just to clarify your point, I believe you are referring to andon[0], the system of alerting people to an issue, rather than kanban[1], a system for inventory management.

In a manner of speaking he did pull the andon cord by speaking up in his team meetings and alerting people in Slack, but the cord means nothing if there is not a culture supporting the alert.

To convince congress to legislate a backdoor.

There are very logical and reasonable reasons for them to advocate publicly. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Having a part number in my system does not mean that it is a reasonable case for a spare part.

These are actual examples from my business: I have part numbers for raw powders that I have not yet sintered into ceramics. I have part numbers for parts that go into a welded and inseparable sub-assemblies. I have part numbers for components that are bonded together with glass seals that cannot be repaired if separated.

It is easy to see how you cannot just use the BOM to determine the list of spare parts and it is easy to see how a manufacturer could simply pot their whole unit in epoxy for "structural" reasons and prevent any individual spare part or sub-assembly from being useful.

Have you seen any issues with the envelope from not matching the the email address?

ezmlm, for example, will not let you subscribe/unsubscribe

And why I regularly download backups of my email from Fastmail.

The only concern I have with them raising prices or disappearing entirely is the service interruption of moving my DNS to some other email provider.

Do you know people that think that 35mm is some sort of magical dimension or are you arguing that sensor size doesn't play into photography?

There are several projects that do just that:

- https://mailcow.email/

Unless you are planning to infringe (which is knowing in itself), this is very bizarre advice.

Reading a patent is more likely to make you not infringe upon it than to make you knowingly infringe upon it.

Raffles guarantee a winner. Picking a single person from a group of people have a very different probability profile than picking a number from a set of numbers that may not have associated lottery tickets.

I don't deserve to make money off this vulnerability.

Indirectly, I deserve to lose some money because I am indirectly invested in a company that made faulty products.

However, I also do not deserve to lose money to the CEO of Intel because he was able to not only know about the faulty products before his sale, but to conceal that information from me while executing the trade (not an argument against responsible disclosure).
