As a reddit-addict this really depends on the subreddit you're using. In /r/askreddit you don't stand a chance that your question will attract serious attention, but there are so many subreddits with small usergroups and enough reactions. In /r/askreddit or other popular subreddits, my answers get reasonable attention, even if I'm not on the reddit timeschedule.

Thunderflirt! ;-)

How about providing free internet to China and Russia, to give the people there proper information without government oversight?

Musk may be an incredible prick on Twitter and be a terrible boss to get orders from, his vision gave us Tesla and Space X, both ground breaking and needed developments. He is a man of vision, not a manager or people person. And his vision is limited to technology, not economics or politics. But if you're that rich, you can come to think that you know it all.

> because it's a long-term tool and I would like to be able to run it on any system in 15 years

What about Docker and Virtualenv? Both make it possible to keep running code until the end of times.

Twitter didn't want him to buy Twitter, so they should be happy to accept the $1B fine. Whether Musk follows the law or not, I think that anybody except maybe DT will be happy to see this deal fail.

You can stack the batteries in one place, in small compartments. If one compartment catches fire, it's easier to contain than in a big compartment with cars that take up much more space. It could even mean that you ditch the compartment in the ocean, to prevent a bigger problem. But compartments can be designed to be cooled with salt seawater without damaging the ship.

It may be harder, but it will happen sometime in the future.

That's a nice car. The range is a bit limited, but I could see myself buying it. Thanks for this info!

When I bought my first Macbook in 2009 (the unibody) it had a 160GB harddisk. The 250GB upgrade would cost €150 more I believe. I bought the 160GB version, went to the nearest IT shop and bought a 320GB disk for €120 and got that 160GB as a spare.

Distros I tried and used on the desktop: Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Fedora. I started with Ubuntu on my work/development desktop and have used it on that job for about six years. It did the job, I learnt a lot.

I've used Debian on hosted servers and have used it on my own little server for several years. I've tried it on the desktop but it was too much trouble there. I've used Mint for several months, ran into trouble, went back to Ubuntu. I've tried Fedora as well - too much trouble.

Now I'm back to Ubuntu, and my home server runs it as well. I'm going to stick with Ubuntu - the LTS versions of course - and that's it. Maybe I'm going to have to use another distro in the future if my job requires it, and if I have colleagues who use Fedora or Debian or Kali who can help me, I'm willing to give that a try.

I'm running the desktop version on my server by the way. Sometimes it's just easier to attach a monitor and keyboard and have a GUI. This is maybe not-done in the linux world, security wise, but if this makes me solve problems faster, I think it makes the machine safer.

Looking at that site, the Chinese pictures from 1982.... Those look like they could have been taken in 1962 or 1952.

You could photoshop that color a little darker and browner, and there you have your C64!

> If I have an effective weapon (GPS spoofer), surely I don’t want to alert the enemy to it, lest they develop defences.

Russia has done this for the past 10 or so years. They invaded EU airspace. They executed many cyber attacks. This is strategy. They test to see if their competence works, they test to see what the reaction is, and they sharpen their knives, get better at it.

This looks more like a proper airship, like the ones from fifties and sixties scifi books.

Depends on what you want. If you are designing the next James Webb telescope, you are in the right place if you are the smartest in the room regarding one subject, like aligning mirrors, or testing the folding mechanism. It gives enormous responsibility, which you can and should share with others, but I don't see the downside here.

If you're starting with a new career, learning on the job, it's not good if you're the smartest in the room. Then you need to find a place where other people can teach you.

It can also be read as a ego-booster. If you know the most of all people about basketball at a birthday party, it's a cool thing to talk about.

What is "missing" is that the police apparently can do whatever they like, because they cannot be held accountable. They're untouchable. If you criticise a police officer, you criticise the police as a whole, and that is not acceptable to them and to society at large. It is un-American to do so. They represent the law, and they themselves are above the law.

Accountability, that is missing!

How is this different from Docker?

Stop going for that PR. I don't even know what a PR is, but my guts tell me that you should stop pursuing that. Start making yourself useful. Do small stuff, support other people. The guidance you miss - start giving other people guidance. Ask for advice. Don't think you know it all.

The new very successful startup, the many high-performing people. Is that the truth or is that appearance? Fake it until you make it. That may apply to people, but also to companies.

Find a hobby, something outside your workfield that gives meaning to your life. If I hear you, you are successful, but you choose the wrong companies. If they pay you and don't complain, then you are a success in my book, much more successful than I ever was.

At times I get so mad at these things, especially when I have to do 5 of them in a row. Then at some point I just start clicking the wrong images over and over. One captcha should be all it takes.

But at least you won't end up in court.

It's not only this, but it's covid19, the policital situation, disrupting democracy by Qanon and fakenews, drug criminality that is a threat to the state, plus the usual mess that is political life. On top of that, or maybe on the bottom of it, my personal life is a mess in several ways, although I have a job, my own house, and I live in one of the best countries of the world (see my name).

There is too much happening at the moment, and I'm afraid this is just the beginning for this century. But there is only so much that I can do. I cannot stop arctic climate change. I cannot stop the GOP from destroying democracy in the US. I cannot stop drug criminality in my country. So often, I zap away, I just don't want to see it. I've paid to compensate for the gas use of my car, but I don't think that is a solution. My financial situation is not really good, so I cannot do much.

I'm addicted to my lifestyle, which is real average for where I live, but going lower would be a real challenge and make life a lot less attractive. I don't go 3x per year on holiday. The last time I flew was in 2013.

My coping strategy is mostly: ignore it.

Plus you don't get to send a Space Shuttle to L2 in case the mirrors are malfunctioning.

Rightclick and select "copy image". Why would you want this if you can copy the image anyway?

Apparently it has taken over from the Delta-variant in southern Africa. But I haven't heard anything about how sick you get, how deadly it is, and how effective the current vaccines are. This region is poorly vaccinated, so it could very well be that the vaccines still are effective.

I've worked with Asterisk in a former job, but we needed a VOIP provider to make the link to the normal network. But everyone connected to the company Asterisk server could phone with eachother for free, all around the world.

2001 called - either you're with us or you're against us.

I've read books that were scanned with OCR. You learn to deal with typical errors that occur, but overall the texts were mostly accurate.

The UK is about to build 16 of these. They hope to have them operational by 2035.
