Exactly - evolution isn't "random". Mutations are random - but the development of specific traits requires an actual path from A to B that doesn't weaken a generation of organism too much, while still enabling them to survive the selective pressure in sufficient quantity.

That in the paper, by feeding constant low-level non-lethal doses, did not yield resistant mutants, suggests there's no easy way for MRSA to develop a resistance mechanism.

Paying customers for content provided by these studios, and the studios are actively trying to stop them from being able to pay them a price they have generally agreed is fair to let the members of the public able to pay in that currency.

Rendering artifacts due to floating point precision!

And an embalmed corpse that's been gone over by morticians to ensure it's presentable is any more "real"?

Last time 8000 police raided anything they were able to charge precisely 0 people with any crimes whatsoever.

Of course it's incorrect. You're not going to reduce emissions by opening some giant new resource which does the exact same thing, and promptly drops prices all over the world for it.

No one investing in that industry is thinking "obviously we're only going to get 10 years of development out of this". They're planning to burn every last bit of it.

I want 8K phone displays. Entirely so we can use them as VR displays.

I'd love to see some example workflows of how you work on something like X - or the kernel, for different classes of bug hunting. It's the type of thing I've always wanted to dive into, but just the thought of trying to get to the stage where I can tweak/run/debug is incredibly daunting.

This is wrong. Peak oil is when new discoveries are outstripped by demand. Its the point at which the oil industry cannot grow at pace with demand, and must plateau and decline. Prices will shoot up instantly because month after month there will be less oil for per consumer available and no reasonable expectation of that changing.

Hey guess what, names for things are kind of important. You know what I don't want to install on my grandmother's computer? A program called "Gigolo" - I don't care how good it may or may not be at managing network connections.

The army of people who seem to think they're so logical and above emotions ironically are always the most upset when people want to change stuff which they think "doesn't matter".

Because labels are still stupid: if I delete something under one label, I don't necessarily want it deleted everywhere. But that isn't the interface on offer either - there's no "hardlink" style functionality.

Maybe so, but it's clear from what happened at Penn State that they just don't want the label. There's way too much tendency to turn a blind eye.

And it's also never been perfectly true, otherwise nobody anywhere ever would have had their system broken by package upgrades.

The main issue is no one wants to fight the court battle.

But frankly, this has all been kind of irrelevant anyway - you can distribute source packages, let the client do a compile on install, and ignore the entire affair.

He said explanation, not a transcript of the signals you receive from the CIA in your fillings.
