You're assuming that most politicians care what people want.
Especially in this administration. Unless I'm mistaken and most people actually want a ballroom, arch, gilded statues, extensive gold White House decorations, 8 foreign wars/conflicts, higher gas, food, fertilizer costs, tariffs, legal/ethics violations, more greed and self-enrichment, mass incarcerations and deportations for mostly non-criminals (being in the U.S. w/o permission is a civil, not criminal, infraction), etc... Did I miss anything?
Noting that Ubuntu Core is built entirely? from snap packages, so this kind of thing isn't a new idea.
Flatpak, Snap and containers in general need lots of drive space. Good thing storage is cheap these days OH WAIT
Just use a RAM disk instead.
Is it a hash of the actual file, or a perceptual hashing of the image scene?
It is a hash of the actual file.
To be fair, I don't see Brian saying it is free.
The freeness claim appears to have been added by Slashdot editors.

Guessing... Click; amber light; hum, fan whir, beeping; click; green lights?
(At least that's how my APC SUA750XL does it.)
there will then be a good chance of finding some crooks.
Nah, they'd probably just bump into Trump and say, "Excuse - I mean pardon - me."
how, exactly, is spending over a billion dollars to halt a renewable energy project
Maybe it's to Make Germany Great Again?
I'm sure that would track with this administration (*cough* Stephen Miller *cough*) and its supporters...
This has nothing to do with rationality.
Wind turbines have long been a hate object for Trump.
He has claimed that they cause cancer and that they ruin the environment, etc.
And they obscure the ocean view from his beach-front golf course in Scotland.
(He lost the legal battle to have hem stopped/removed.)
How Trump's loathing for wind turbines started with a Scottish court battle
Virginia does not own Dominion Energy. They just regulate it (set rates, etc). They would regulate the resulting corporate entity after a merger, whatever that is, just the same as they do now, as is their right to do so as a state.
I suspect this will get shot down, as Virginia does not have the right to control this (it is interstate / federal level for one thing).
I'm not keen on tying ourselves with Florida in any way.
(I say this after having spent my freshman year at USF in Tampa way back.)
Aren't most of the stories written around these three rules about ambiguities and loopholes, how they're incomplete, misinterpreted, misapplied and how things otherwise go wrong - for us humans? An AI determining that humans must be perpetually babysat to prevent them from injuring themselves or others is a common storyline.
Almost every story in his robot series is about the ways the Three Laws fail — the edge cases, the interpretations, the unintended consequences of simple rules applied to a complex world. The Laws were a starting point, and his fiction was a decades-long exploration of why starting points are never enough.
I love how you gave zero fucks about birds being killed
Cats followed by glass buildings kill orders of magnitude more birds than wind turbines, which are about 9th on the list.
No, President Trump: Wind turbines aren't killing 'all the birds.' Cats are.
Wind Turbines & Birds: Myths & Facts Uncovered
Cats, cars, buildings and vehicles kill about 6,000 times more birds than wind turbines do. The biggest killer of birds in the U.S. by a long shot is domestic cats. After cats, building collisions due to glass (599 million bird deaths annually, on average) and vehicle collisions (214.5 million annually) pose the second and third biggest threats to birds. Poison kills an estimated 72 million birds each year, and collisions with electrical lines result in 25 million deaths annually. Then, way down at No. 9 on the list of threats to birds is wind turbines, which caused an average of 234,012 bird deaths annually.

Even worse? Running a business like Trump runs a business - or a casino (six filed for bankruptcy).
