They have already started enforcing logging in on old.reddit.com. That has already reduced my use of reddit significantly. If you search specific answers via e.g. google, the results are polluted with crappy auto-translations that aren't immediately obvious from the search result pages, so I'm rather hesitant to click any reddit results.

No. Even with many stars, the angular size of a dwarf planet is so small that you have to at the right location on earth to see specific occultations when/if they occur. When they do, it may be possible to determine the size and shape by spreading observers accross the path of the occultation and precisely timing the start/end. Stars will be points in any case.

Its been years since I tried pi-hole. I had been using it but it seemed to block every CDN for every shopping site my ex-wife used. I turned it off so she could shop without headaches.

That's certainly not true in the default configuration. I'd suspect that you've selected an overly eager blocking list. The Web GUI should make it easy to find which list(s) have blocked a specific site.

I mean I think it's kind of hard to fuck up a banana but if anyone can do it it's large grocery store chains...

I've got bad news for you: all the banana you ever ate are fucked up. "Real" bananas with actual banana flavor called "Gros Michel" are practically extinct since the 1950, when they were wiped out by the banana blight. Nowadays, all you get is literal clones of the tasteless Cavendish.

The link you provide is a really bad example. Specifically it says In total, six vehicles passed the school bus while it was stopped., and Once stopped, the ADS-equipped vehicle contacted remote assistance with a prompt asking, “is this a school bus with active signals?” [...], a remote assistance agent located in Novi, Michigan, replied “No” to the prompt.

So first of all, 5 human drivers illegally passed the school bus during this specific incident, and the "autonomous" car was explicitly given the go ahead by a human, because the "autonomous" functions were uncertain how to proceed. By my counting, that's 6 bad drivers, all human.

What kind of weird tax write-off rules are those? I'd expect that if you spend $x million making (and possibly marketing) a thing, and then only get $y by selling/renting/... it, you'd write off ($x-$y), no matter if $y is exactly zero or just smaller than $x. What rule is is that requires the thing to be essentially destroyed?

The coreutils are surprisingly complex. If you know a little about kernel functions, it feels like any of those tools should basically map to just a single kernel call. The requirements of the POSIX-standard(s) that define how exactly the tools should work, including how they should handle and report errors, as well as limitations of filesystems (such as long filenames, unsupported characters, ACLs) make correct implementations quite a chore. I'm wondering if the rust implementations pass the test suite that's included in the gnu coreutils source. Does anyone here know?
