So regulate the uses of the technology. Don't ban it outright.
Those companies are doing their manipulation currently by using the Internet and social media, should the Internet and social media be banned outright? We're using social media to discuss this right now, that discussion should be suppressed?
"Someone might abuse it" is a reasonable concern. "Therefore nobody should be allowed to use it" is not a reasonable answer to that concern, IMO. We'd never have anything with that approach.
I'm not a Rust programmer, but I've released a lot of code under MIT in the past and my reason for picking it was because it was so simple and flexible when it comes to reusing it with code under other licenses.
I recall once, years ago, a user coming to me quite angry about how I was releasing code under a license that permitted corporations to "steal" it. Just for him I dual-licensed that particular bit of code under MIT and GPL. He never responded so I guess that satisfied him? Whatever, I'm just happy he went away.
It turns out that for all of these different methods, you will find an extremely clear bimodal distribution that groups the 8 planets together as being highly capable of clearing their orbits whereas everything else falls into a statistically distinct non-clearing group. This is because there's sound dynamic reasons for why objects would fall into one group or the other with nothing lasting long in the "grey area" between them. Once an object becomes significantly better than its orbital neighbors at clearing the neighborhood it snowballs due to the feedback loop of scattering or absorbing its neighbors into itself.
That makes this a good criterion for classification. As the old saying goes, "cleave nature at the joints."
"Clinicallydepressedpoochie" is in the running.
It's actually not ridiculous, the 1m is how tall those rooms are. Nice consistent ceiling height all through the house.
Plenty of sunshine and fresh air! Just keep them well-watered and rotate them every once in a while to make sure they grow straight.
It's not, actually. "Planet" and "Dwarf planet" are disjoint sets, according to the IAU.
Is a sea lion still a lion? Same thing.
I've heard that the sign of a fair bargain is that everybody leaves unhappy. So how about we name it "Pluto?" That should annoy pretty much everyone.
“It’s done,” [ambassador Hoekstra] told National Post in his first-wide ranging interview in Canada since he was confirmed to the role last month. “From my standpoint, from the president’s standpoint, 51st state’s not coming back,” he said. “The president may bring it up every once in a while, but he recognizes it’s not going to happen unless the prime minister engages with the president.”
Hey, Hoekstra? Maybe we'd believe Trump could get the message pounded into his sponge-filled skull if he'd stop bringing it up.
If the language stops being spoken then there are no people who speak them, and asking what something means for those nonexistent people is kind of weird.
I'm thinking that the loss of distinct languages in active use is not necessarily a bad thing overall. It means more people can communicate with each other more widely. By all means document these disappearing languages as much as possible before they're gone, but there's likely a good reason most of them are disappearing.
