The link is correct, but direct linking is blocked for some reason. If you go to the link from here you will get the article.

I should have specified that I mean the x-files type of UFO’s, containing aliens.

At this rate with this mentality, we are going to have photo “evidence” of bigfoot and UFO’s before 2030.

The dev could claim something like “prior art”, or whatever the alternative is for software. Suppose I trademark the name “is-odd” for a company, should NPM now hand me the “is-odd” package name? This would surely break the internet in the same way is an this case.

I get that, but suppose you start a package on NPM named “bronk”. Sometime later someone starts a company with that name. Should you just be forced to give up your package name, just because people suddenly associate the name with the company?

Not in my book. They asked him if he would rename his package, he replied sorry but I’m building a project with this name, and they replied that they were going to send lawyers to do takedowns if he would release his project. This would also rub me the wrong way. Also, the dev was already working on the package before the kik company ever came to NPM. Why would he have to give up on the name for his project?

Not for me. Take in consideration that I don’t do a lot of shopping. Two of the maybe four times times I used a self check-out last year;

1. So I go to the self check-out. One of my items is on clearance. I scan it. It shows full price. turns out I needed to scan a different bar-code for the clearance. However, I can’t remove the already scanned bar-code from the list, so now I need to call assistance.
2. My kids drink a lot of coke zero, so when it goes on sale I usually buy a lot of it. In this case, I took all that’s left in the store. I scan one bottle, do a quick count and adjust the number of bottles accordingly. I place the bottle in my cart and realize I’ve counted one too many. I can’t take it off, and now need to call assistance.

According to her IG page she posted on the candian forces Reddit about a soldier who removed the condom during intercourse. She was banned for that, and on a totally “unrelated” case threatened to charge her for waring a uniform on her site.

Just to be factual; This letter was signed by Einstein among others, and not written by him. Also, yes Einstein was a smart guy, and a famous physicist who publicized some grand theories. He was not however a political expert. So while you may agree with his views on the state of Israel, don’t proclaim it as the absolute truth because Einstein said it. Because he was a layman in these matters. A well informed and smart layman, but still a layman.

The reason for this rant is that you can find way too much doctors and Phd’s today wo will give opinions on things like climate change or Corona vaccins, while their field of expertise is something like ancient history or oil drilling. And people are swallowing it because someone really smart said it, and it gives them a way to ignore the real experts.

Back to the letter above, the alphabetically second person to sign the letter was Hannah Arendt, and she was a philosopher and an expert on the works of totalitarian governments. So if you want to give weight to this letters by using the name if one of the signees, I’d advise to use her name. And mention Einstein as an aside just to get the clicks.

This might work for now, but some people will abuse this at some time to draw traffic to their cluckbait sites. Like in the old days with “index of” “parent dir” to find open dirs.

I’ve had this happen, but I found out it is of magazines I had blocked later on, hiding the comments for me. (I’m on Kbin, don’t know if this works the same way elsewhere)

Sorry, but, mb, in lowercase? Like millibit?

For me: Mini breaks and short walks help get my head clear, or at least less foggy. Explaining it to someone else also helps, even if the other person is imaginary (which is in most cases for me). Note taking can also help, but I suck at it. When I did do it, my best notes are (for coding) files with a code example containing lots of comments.

Yearly income is less than 70k for most Europeans. In Denmark the average income is higher, but the rest of Europe is lower, average would probably be less than 40k.

Buitl by the west? None of these conflicts have been started by the west!

As long as safety and environmental regulations in China are lower than in Europe, it will always be cheaper to produce there.

Eu rules are the same.

Electrolysis is wasteful, but so are internal combustion engines.

The molecule is formed during the digestion of broccoli, so unless you’re gonna put your digested broccoli back into your mouth it probably won’t have the desired effect.

I’m not American but Dutch, but it is what I see over here “Our government is spending billions to reduce the temperature by 0.0003 degrees, they’re all mad! Like we’re going to save the world while the rest keeps on going! How am I going to keep going on holiday to Italy if my taxes are spent this way!”
