A number of my repos are listed.

But the weird part is that it also lists a repo I don’t recognize. The repo does actually exist on my github account, but it’s marked as “ignored”, and the description says it was automatically exported from Google Code. The code seems to be a MacOS shareware file encryption tool called “BitClamp”, published circa 2008.

No idea how it got on my account.

Huh. Never heard of this brand before in my life. A little research leads me to believe that the popularity claim (“one in four US households”) is really just an old unsubstantiated quote from a company vice president. Further research tells me that this company isn’t even in the top 20 milk producing companies in the USA.

No milk shortage is looming.

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…

Two squiggles for strikethrough; one squiggle for _subscript; and no squiggle for you!

“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.

political dissatisfaction

By framing it as mere “political dissatisfaction”, the author inadvertently exposes their ulterior motive. The discussion is actually about whether Trump is in his right mind.

The correct technical term is magic smoke.

Not the wrong way either.

I especially appreciate that it’s cool, but of course one can’t discount the quality of it being a rock.

Don’t leave us hanging. Who won the argument?

I just assume that’s the tile that the captcha system itself isn’t sure about, and it will accept it either way.

The 90’s is the decade when the internet took off. Ease of access (and stuff worth accessing) increased dramatically over the course of a few years.

In 1990 if you didn’t have access through a university or your job then you would need a subscription service that connected over your home phone line. It wasn’t difficult, really, but it was a niche hobby thing that used expensive equipment, so most people didn’t even notice it. You had email, newsgroups, ftp servers, and bulletin boards, but not the modern concept of “the web”.

By around 1995 the web existed and was really taking off. Companies like Yahoo, Netscape, ebay, and Amazon were founded and high(er) speed dedicated connections started to become available to home users.

By 1999 you have mega sites like Google and Paypal, the first great browser war was raging, and high-speed DSL and cable connections were becoming standard in homes.

Let us, like Him, hold up one shoe and let the other be upon our foot, for this is His sign, that all who follow Him shall do likewise.

“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.

[…] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.

The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]

We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.

https://usun.usmission.gov/explanation-of-vote-of-the-third-committee-adoption-of-the-right-to-food-resolution/

tl;dr:

1. The USA doesn’t think the resolution actually does anything useful, even if it supports the intention
2. The USA, the largest exporter of food, is concerned how the resolution might impact food exports
3. The USA doesn’t recognize the imposition of legal obligations to act outside of its own territory

As an audience member, no. We saw the final confrontation between them.

Picard and friends, on the other hand, have legitimate reason to be suspicious.

But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.

You should cut diagonally. If it makes a sandwich better, imagine what it can do for a novel.
