How can they pass it on when they don't have the defect any more?
It only affects some cells, not the whole body.

AI padding vibe?
I kinda see that too. Basically, the way some authors use to increase content size with redundant words is the default behavior for Ai chats plus all the disclaimers to avoid possible litigations or negative public image.

Damn. Hope there would be a viable open-source fork as there are non-financial reasons to exclude commercial licenses.

Demonizing social media is this generations version of demonizing rock and roll.
It's so tiring.
Is it? You can see the actual harm caused by web sites.
Doomscrolling in all age groups. Going to bed very late at night.
Girls having body dysmorphia cause of instagram.
Young men having porn addition and having no ambition to interact with real women

It's weird. At a time I was looking for a "better" python. Something simpler and safer than C/C++ but faster than python and more importantly that can produce a single binary. So I looked at everything from Rust to obscure language like Hare.
Go should have been the obvious choice but for a reason I don't understand I dislike its syntax. For Rust I understand: it uses a lot of special characters that aren't easy to remember and to type with a non qwerty keyboards (plus other unrelated pain points). For the different lisp, it was the parenthesis and the reverse polish notation. But for Go, I'm unable to rationalize why I don't like it.
For the anecdote, I settled on compiling my python code with nuitka. No speed gain that I'm aware of but I can now provides a binary. I'm also looking more and more at C# because of its progressing AOT compilation and although I dislike the verbosity of its base mode and the fact it's so tied to windows.
I liked a lot nim and crystal but the small community was a barrier, although I'm really impressed by what nim is managing to do with such a small community and it may me think it's an excellent language
(I will try to motivate myself to pick up one of the language I mentionned above also)
>and the fact it's so tied to windows
Dotnet Core is not tied to windows except for certain frameworks like wpf (and there are alternatives for it that work everywhere), credential store.
And it's actually really good to use these days.
Love it!
Wonder what is the logic behind having some lines ending with ";" in some cases and not having them in others.
Is it just editor artefacts? i.e. the author had no intentions to put them, but the editor in some cases inserted them automatically.
Alaska was sold in 1867 from Russia, and USA also has had eyes on Greenland since 1867.
Alaska was sold cause Russian Empire couldn't hold the land and eventually would've lost it.
The islands north to Japan are important cause the access from sea ports to the ocean in winter. Plus, if they were Japanese, they'd have American bases there and there wouldn't be a way for the submarines to leave ports without being tracked.
I really wish Mozilla would stay out of politics, especially identity politics. And I've seen some pro-censorship advocacy from them in the name of Internet "safety."
I closed my eyes on the ceo story and the politics and continued using it as "the only alternative" to Chrome until I got a pop up on my phone basically suggesting who I should vote for in some American election. I've never even been in that country.
Usability-wise, the thing that keeps me from using any Fb things, Threads.net included, is they break the bloody Back button!
Youtube web version for desktop has the same problem if I get what you mean right.

The risk seems overblown. Mostly because nobody trusts China either, which has as many economic and political problems as does the US, if not more.
Russia just doesn’t have enough power to move global markets. Its economy is smaller than Texas’, and is rapidly shrinking.
California is supposed to be fifth economy in the world. You can use software produced in California under sanctions by ignoring intellectual rights. This wouldn't work with physical goods. You can't replace oil from one source with oil from another. Deficit of some resource chokes production of things that depend on this resource. And it's a chain reaction.
