I like Win31 UI. Sure MDI was an error and hot corners would be very useful but I like how unclutered it looks and the absence of a taskbar and other always-there elements is positive. I dislike the idea of a taskbar. It takes screen real estate that would be better used by apps and when I do need the taskbar's features, those are all cramped at the bottom of the screen. Give me a hot-corner-activated win31-style program manager over a win95-style start button please.

A few words toward the end for the ellusive ai menace, but zero word for the real, already existing, open source fonts. Nowaday I'll consider IBM Plex, Mozilla Fira or even Google Roboto before Monotype Anything.

Let me rephrase it so the meaning of what you just said impregnate my mind: you were denier money because their records showed you badly needed it. Sound to me the credit agencies aren't the only evil.

A non profit is "trust us, we know what's best", while a cooperative is legally controlled by it's member on the basis of one member, one vote, and profits, if any, are distributed between members. I wonder how different would be a cooperative Wikipedia versus the non-profit Wikipedia we got.

For another perspective, an iPhone looks a lot like a Newton with phone capabilities. Maybe without Jobs returning to Apple, Apple would still be in the phone market.

Everytime the subject come around, someone repeat this like it's a fact but nobody care to explain. Is criminalisation really the only hammer the gov has? What are the goods of saving people against their wishes? Are these goods higher than the damages caused by criminalisation?

Don't build this. Don't bring it to school. Don't show it to anyone.

This is the kind of thing that get you expelled, jailed, or shot.

An industrial revolution is not a single event but a journey. Somebody innovates, then somebody else get the innovation better, then yet somebody else innovates again using what previous people did, etc. Romans could have had their IR from their starting point but they didn't. I don't think it's because they didn't have roman numerals or cast iron. Those could have been part of their revolution. Needs is the prime factor for innovations and this is what they lacked: needs.

They didn't need to innovate because they had abondant and cheap labor in the form of slaves and whatever machine someone could come up with was more costly than slaves so the journey did not began. This is why the aeolipile stayed a novelty and the roman didn't have an IR: they didn't need it.

> illegal

Seriously, stop using that word for things that aren't actually illegal.

Until a country decides to use its own dns root. Then another. Then another.

People don't have a clear concept of what life is and often don't separate life and sentience. Remember the movie Short Circuit: some military robot gains AGI then the machine and the people around it start claiming it's alive. Or in Star Trek, when Captain Kirk and his crew teleport in the middle of a forest and Spock, consulting his tricorder, promptly declares there is no life on this planet. What the writers of those shows thought life is is an open question, but it seems compatible with the idea of an LLM "coming to life".

Isn't this project ten years dead?

If she was a dog, we would put it down and it would be a better outcome for the dog. Because she's human she'll suffer for as long as the doctors can keep her alive.

>limited to suspects involved in terrorism, organized crime and other illegal activities punishable by five or more years in prison.

Considering how high the bar is to consider someone a suspect, anyone could become a target.

Those lines weren't meant to help beginners but as a way to order statements in the absence of an editor.

>Imagine discussing the politics of the penal system and someone butts in, "imprisoning people is bad by definition"... Ok man

And that someone would be right and that's why it should be avoided as much as possible. Because people refuse to have this discussion, imprisonment is applied at a far larger scale than necessary.

I'd expect that information to come first from arXiv or Nature. Or even maybe The Daily Mirror. Why would a governments be involved?

There are privacy issues with transmitting your print jobs to your nearby underground shopping mall.

The same kind of people who say gpl isn't free enough.

Repercussions should not be what keeps you from murdering someone anyway. It shows you're still on stage 1 on Lawrence Kohlberg's scale of moral development [0]. I don't think your argument is valid for most people.

I think what you want is a gendarmerie.

Or maybe that elusive zooming interface Jeff Raskin described in his book.

>We've come so far

Well... We're still using overlapping windows we shuffle around like it's 1984. I guess we now have tab widgets and hot corners. Are there any alternatives to windows (the rectangles on the screen, not the os) yet?

I don't understand the link with the flag. Can you explain?

IMHO, the body, the psyche and the soul can't be separated like that. A body without a soul is a cadaver. The soul is whatever makes the body not a cadaver. The psyche appears from the interaction of the body and the soul.

So, in question 1, the teleportation kill you 100%. In question 2, unsure but both choices is probably equaly deadly. And question 3 is pure fantasy because you can't have a living body without a soul.

IMHO Tintin is at his best when dealing with international politic like in Le Lotus bleu, L'Oreille cassée, Le Sceptre d'Ottokar, L'Affaire Tournesol, Au Pays de l'or noir.
