I want to eat meat. I will never become a vegan, because I need meat (my levels of B12 and iron constantly falling if I don't eat enough meat, and I rather get it from real food rather than vitamin pills). Find a way to make it sustainable then. It's not a solution to telling everyone to "stop eating meat". I rather have free range or wild, sustainable, organic meat, than industrialized meat. But to not have any at all, is not an option.

Youtube said the same thing a few days ago too. Which is unfair to segregate access to your service based on a profession.

The EU took the right stance. Even Yanis Varoufakis has said that the idea of taxing robots does not work. This is what needs to be done instead: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.weforum.org%2Fagenda...

I personally *despise* the episodic model. I'm all for the serialized one, and in fact, except Netflix's offerings, the serialized versions found on networked shows pale in comparison (in terms of serialization that is). I'm one of those people who really enjoyed the serializing nature of LOST (minus the disastrous 6th season). I absolutely never watch episodic television. I find it cheap, and non-artistic. In a perfect world, I'd like most TV shows (not all, but most) to end in 3 seasons: beginning-middle-end. And each season to comprise from 6-9 episodes: beginning-middle-end. Like a book.

Non-native EMF (such as from devices) is not the same as EMF from the sun.

They're called "fruitarians", eating only what falls off the plant by itself, rather than a portion of a living, growing plant.

Why single out China? If you bought your computer in the US but didn't speak English (perhaps your native language is Spanish... or even Chinese!), I don't think you can switch Windows to be in Spanish or Chinese without paying for a language pack or a Chinese-language installation CD.

Which, coincidentally, is the largest US coin in common use. (Imagine if they only accepted dollar coins.)

FWIW, in Germany, shopping trollies typically take 50-cent or 1-euro coins.

And with "known tunnel entrance", I suppose you mean "tunnel entrance known fifteen years ago when the car was manufactured".

Or are you proposing free monthly map updates? Or cars that don't last for more than a year or two?

Eh? How is that supposed to work?

Either the online website is operated by the government agency, then you have no way to know that the version of the code they run is the version they make available for download and scrutiny.

Or it's libre, you download and scrutinise it, and run it yourself, in which case it's not operated by the government agency (and isn't particularly online any more).

Also, why would you want libre tax software if you only want a single source to run it?

Isn't the entire point of libre software that it can be modified... by whom, if you won't trust any other service suppliers?

If you want a single, trusted supplier and are only concerned about being allowed to scrutinise the source code, then surely proprietary but gratis and source-available would be sufficient? (Though that still wouldn't solve the problem of proving that the code you see and the code you (implicitly) run bear any relationship one to the other.)

From FTA: "Sweetie will not be used again. She has done her job[.]"

You'll have to find a new sting.

Thank you for the context!

OK, you have a point.

Being understood definitely beats not being, even if you have to slow down to achieve that. And the translation was happening reasonably quickly if you were slow enough.

I was just a bit disappointed since from the "real time" I was expecting the translation to keep up with someone speaking at normal conversational speed. (Like the asker at the information kiosk, for example.)

Linus's native language is Swedish.

Looking at the video in the article, it seems that "in real time" means "at about 1/4 of the speed of regular signing".

Imagine. Having. To. Speak. Like. Kirk.
