On the other head, nonvaccinated people pose a real mortal threat and I should be able to defend myself and my family against them.

Vaccines are not 100%, herd immunity is the only reason they work at all. They work enough of the time for herd immunity to take care of the rest.

Measles alone has a 0.3% death rate. If there was a break out and it spread to 100mil people, it would be more like 300k died from it. Not including all the damage it causes to those to survive.

I got another argument for you. 0 people have died in the past year to being in a vacuum, so being in a vacuum must not be dangerous, so lets get rid of this pesky atmosphere.

We got that around here. Want to go to public school? You must show your vaccination records. Don't want to send your kids to public school? You'd better be using an approved home school system or sending them to private, because you'll get fined or have your children taken from you if you don't educate them. We won't tell you how to educate your children, you just need to have proof that you've been using some form of acceptable education.

That's right, they're my children and I can beat them however I want!

Great logic. Not vaccinating your children is pretty much child abuse, unless they have a family history of issues or something similar.

The physical channels can also be tweaked for range instead of bandwidth. You can reduce the physical channel from 500gb to some slower speed, like 250gb/s and nearly double your range. These PICs have a 700km range with no signal regeneration, and over 1100km if you reduce the logical bandwidth of the physical channel. This has been testing in the real world. Stockholm to Frankfurt with no repeaters and can handle 8tb+, which can all be provisioned in less than 1 hour.

The difference is this is using WDMD and can carve up that 8.8Tb/s into any combination of channels between 10Gb/s and 500Gb/s. Want 880 10Gb virtual channels? Sure! Want 17 500Gb/s channels? Sure! Mix and match, and you don't need to take down any channels to add new ones. It also uses about 10x-100x less power. Behold, the power of Photon Integrated Circuits(PICs)

You lie or are ignorant. Several of the lead devs of X have stated that tearing in X cannot be fixed without completely breaking the protocol. They've been trying to fix this issue since '95. Your basic understanding of this simple concept makes everything you say questionable.

If you're trying to sell a device that appeals to 80% of people, you best make it look pretty, otherwise they're just going to use iOS. Anyway, your argument is no different than me saying fun and games are all pointless, people should spend their entire life working, then immediately die when they are no longer useful. Life isn't just about getting work done, it's also about the pretty and fun.

Wayland is magnitudes faster. Wayland's protocol just tells the compositor where a memory buffer is and what to do with it, unlike X, which has to sends thousands of draw primitives. It's like comparing Java to C and claiming they're the same because they both use an equal sign for assignment.

Wayland is a simple abstract layer. You can make your own remote protocol and have receive your draw commands and render it locally. One can fully implement X in Wayland, but one cannot implement Wayland in X. Therefore, Wayland is better. If you need X like functionality, someone could easily create a wrapper, which they already have for X.

/agree

Synonymous terms. X devs are the ones making Wayland. I find it funny and kind of sad that so many people think X is somehow better when it's made by the same people. If those people don't like Wayland, they are free to fork X and maintain it themselves. From what I hear, it is an absolute mess because if has so many conflicting features.

Mir is being designed by people who don't fully understand the problem domain or now Wayland works. The lead "devs" of Mir have spouted a lot of factually wrong information based on misunderstandings. I don't know about you, but I don't think it's a good idea to have programmers who don't understand what they're trying to accomplish.

Once you take in all of the external costs of coal, it is much more expensive. After a generation of no coal, we would probably see a quality of life improvement along with increased productivity and less healthcare costs, making prices drop or slow down.

If you buy up all of the coal mines while you're at it, you'll not only drive up the price since it's all have to be imported, but the time taken to rebuild all of those plants would take quite a few years, during which time other competition would have moved in, making it much less lucrative to start a new coal power plant.
