The website doesn't really care; they have hosting costs so if you're not paying with money or by accepting ads then to them you're worse than not visiting at all as you consume resources, so it's good if you leave?

Then again Wikitionary has both, so just use that for everything (including scrabble if you wanna get chaotic)

I don't think you understand how it works... An upload:download ratio must average (not simple mean, but that's because ratios are nonlinear - I can't recall the mean type but it's the nth root of multiplying them all together) 1 in a system where all uploads and downloads are logged in the same tracker. It doesn't matter who the uploader or downloader is or how recently they made their account. That's what I meant by a closed system.

An open system would be where you download parts or all of a given torrent via another tracker, and the same with upload. The private tracker only logs what you downloaded and uploaded though it, so your ratio from the perspective of that tracker is different to in reality.

Even if you ignore the first 5 files or 15GB or whatever for new users, if you have those files then great but do you really want to turn it into a betting game of seeding supply and leeching demand?

My parents 1741 house with new double glazing is like that - cool in summer, hot in winter without even needing the heating

I'm amazed that we collectively forgot how to build houses but I guess 2ft thick walls make a dent in the size of the living space and you've got to build a box with paper thin walls and no garden to optimise that

Life expectancy is how long you can expect to live from birth. It being 30 implies that you can expect to live 30 years, however in fact you'd most likely live <5 or >50 years

He was anti-zionist sure, but he also openly associated with and supported groups that go beyond anti-zionism into full blown anti-semitism and, despite plenty of prompting, continuously maintained that there was no issue with this.

There's inferences made there, sure, but it's very easy to say "I generally support X but they take Y too far" - even the current government is doing it when supporting Israel, but also making (hollow) statements that they should be more careful not to attack civilians as it's clearly not right, but they still want to support their allies. Corbyn could've made similar statements, but he didn't, either meaning that he didn't see anything wrong with the anti-semitism or he thought that them also being anti-zionist excused it, neither of which are a good look.

Can code in without code completion or checking the docs: C, C#, Scala, F#, SQL (ms server), js/ts, Erlang, Elixir

Have a general idea of but may need to check things about the standard library every so often: Kotlin, Python, OCaml, C++, prolog

Have used in the past but would need to look up the syntax to use again: Go, Rust, Haskell, Java, Gleam

I'm probably missing some from each category though

Which you have to carry around separately, which comes at a convenience cost and so you're more likely to just go for wireless ones (I know I have after the headphone jack wore out in my phone)

And also not charge at the same time unless you get a well shielded dac dongle with a usb female which also allows charging and supports thunderbolt, which is another piece of future e-waste that you'll have to carry around in addition to your phone and 3.5mm only dongle, as the unconnected wire will get caught on your hand if you try to use your phone

Your idea of a fix makes as much sense as apple calling selling you 90% of a new device fixing your device - let's not allow degenerate business practices just because a brand like to think of themselves as green and ethical, it's anti-consumer and anti-environment, no ifs, no buts.

There's a point where you have to question whether sentience is present vs the ability to react to the world... Mostly in flies (which have some of the lowest neuron count of any animal) they just fly towards smell and light etc. - they don't get angry or upset or noticibly happy and that's not too far beyond a light switch reacting to you pressing it.

I mean my mountain bikes run at a reccomended 50-80PSI, my road bike 60-120

I can also get up to about 40mph downhill on both (which should be a good indicator of rolling resistance/air resistance as it takes out the pedaling part), so that leads me to believe (given the rolling resistance info) that the actual biggest factor which makes the road bike so much easier to ride is weight (and gear ratios, but that's not relevant to e-bikes)

Oh damn I misremembered, my bad

Somehow I got mixed up by the fact that animal farm was anti-authoritarian, not anti-left

Copyrights and patents
Used to collect the products of another person's labor

If you ask me it's the exact opposite... Copying someone else's work with no benefit to them removes a big driver for innovation.

This also only really applies with corporations - you could in theory have everyone be self-employed in a capitalist society
