I don't like the phrase "no excuse". I'm a particularist. E.g. There is no excuse for shooting someone. Shooting a person actively shooting up an elementary school is fine in my book.
making a city efficient you want ways to get around without a car in the first place
I couldn't agree more.
Sisko is my favorite. I don't think it was going off the deep end as much as using the same strategy the US used by nuking Japan. Japan had no chance at that point and continuing conventional war would have been more costly in terms of lives lost and property damage. Using nukes crushed any hope they had of continuing the war and have their prideful government an out that preserves their ego.
In DS9, it sent the message that the federation is can and will annihilate the dominion to defend themselves and the god complex of the changelings was pure delusion.
He isn't afraid. He is sending a message. That message is, in the words of Eric Cartman: "Respect my authority!"
I.e. it was meant to dissuade people from questions or comments that reveal his fascist beliefs.
The kid shouldn't have apologized, as he was just asking questions, and not in the dishonest way.
What kind of non-coding work do you need done?
It was intended to be an OS and is if you use the Hurd kernel. In practice, Hurd isn't really used, so it is just a bunch of programs and libraries. I guess it can go either way.
I disagree with him.
"Nobody that is intelligent AND cares about other people" is more accurate.
There are very intelligent people that deny it because they are old and enjoy doing things that exacerbate it. Other intelligent deniers are making tons of money and can afford to weather the problems.
So much to unpack here.
GNU is not a Linux variant. It is a set of programs and shared libraries.
ISO 9660 has nothing to do with compression. Just calling it ISO isn't a good idea for an intro class like that because it is a set of MANY standards. They should have put a little side blurb and called it ISO 9660 in the table.
tar is an archive tool. It has no compression.
Why no mention of compression algorithms algorithms vs archive tools?
Why not have different compression algorithms and their tradeoffs?
ETA: jar files are just zip files for Java libs/programs. You can open them with zip file tools.
Misinformation or disinformation? It sounds nit picky, but there is a huge difference.
Those spreading misinformation are simply mistaken and possibly swayed by good information.
Those spreading disinformation are deliberately trying to deceive people.
Well, that is how it already works today, and look at how safe the roads are. The lack of safety is a consequence of allowing shitty drivers to stay on the road.
The lack of safety is because we can't get shitty drivers off the road because there is no other feasible way to get around much of NA. Even taking licenses away doesn't do much because people will drive without them due to necessity.
We can't get start imposing more barriers until we provide alternatives. I.e. usable transit, usable bike infrastructure, abolishing euclidean zoning. Until that is done, people all but have to drive to get around.
The point with impaired driving is that car dependent infrastructure is the problem. Plenty of drivers use Uber or cabs when impaired. When you have millions of drivers going through intersections like the one pictured with no feasible alternative, deadly crashes are going to happen.
they don't have the right to operate a 2 ton weapon when impaired.
Unless we fix the mandatory car ownership prevalent in most of North America, it really should be treated as almost a right. How else are people going to realistically safely get where the need to go?
You may be right in that using nukes was the wrong call. IMO, it seems like it was the best of bad options.
Saying there is no excuse and you disagree with something are two different things. The phrase "no excuse" is saying you think it is objectively wrong in a way that sounds like it isn't just your opinion. I don't think you mean it that way, I'm just explaining why I really don't like that phrase.
As bad as the nukes were, the conventional bombing of Tokyo was probably worse. Over 100k civilians were killed with 1,000,000+ left homeless.
