Sure, but there’s no verification when calling a cab so you can use an alias if you want.

So less like I, Robot and more like Surrogates.

Under federal law, the military is only allowed to shoot down drones over military bases if they pose a direct threat.

That is really remarkable. Civilians talk about shooting drones flying over their property all the time, but learning that even the military isn’t free to do so is a bit shocking.

I picked up some stranded skaters in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night because they flashed SOS with their headlights after I drove past them. They had been there for like 8 hours. I’m sure they would’ve rather had a flashlight to do the work for them.

But I agree that there should be another UI for getting to the emergency flashing. Like hold for 5 seconds or something unlikely to be used during normal operation.

I have a flashlight that has multiple flashy settings, but they are disabled after like 5 or 10 seconds of idle power on time. So the first click turns it on, and if you wait a while, the next click turns it off.

How did Mr. Bungle think he could pull it off without messing it up?

Cool story. Rust didn’t exist when I switched from php to Python.

I definitely agree. I moved to outer Detroit a few years ago and was surprised with how nice everybody is.

Thanks for sharing a modern php codebase. It makes me confident that giving it up and switching to Python was the right choice.

That’s a very “Citizens United” definition of “nobody”

Technically nobody else has either.

Stochastic Terrorism:

Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual.

I am interested to see their written definition of “woke”.

I’m surprised they didn’t try to sell it to an ad company.

Most useful? Without a doubt, my laptop. The amount of things that can be done with a modern computer is pretty stunning, and a portable one is arguably more useful.

Other than that, maybe my car keys because the amount of things you can do with a car is stunning, but you need the keys to start it, and the car isn’t in this room.

They append the word “no” to the statement.

“How are you?” Is “you’re good, no?” But the word “no” does not have a rising tone.

Tonal languages are hard for non-tonal language speakers to pick up because of this. On the flip side, it can be tough for tonal language speakers to grasp the tonal inflections in English, and sometimes speak like robots before they understand how to use them.

Vietnamese doesn’t. The rising tone that you hear at the end of an English language question can change the literal meaning of a word in Vietnamese.

For some of us, finding ways to cheat IS the game.

Second vote for VTI.

If I understand the problem correctly it has a pretty simple solution that I have done before. Make a new partition on the destination and dd if=/dev/diskAsB of=/dev/diskXsY where A is the source disk and B is the source partition and X is the destination disk and Y is the destination partition. You may have to run fsck on the destination afterwards and maybe a gpt repair tool.

Honestly though, since it’s an ext filesystem, if it were me I’d just mount the source and dest and rsync.
