It's getting downvoted to oblivion because it ignores many things, namely the fact that a lot of drug research worldwide is state-funded. There are many cases in which pharmaceutical companies use public funds for R&D, and then go on to sell the drug at steep prices, raking in immense profits.

Meanwhile the public has to either cough up the bucks, or wait until the patent expires to have affordable options.

Or use yEnc: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YEnc

JS "idiomatic" way to cast to boolean. But could just be written as !window.chrome instead.

That is the fallacious paper millionaire argument. They have more than enough liquidity, can take loans against their "non-liquid" wealth, and are anyway working with multi-year plans to sell assets and have enough liquidity. I believe this is also explained in https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ and there they also explain that the US market cap is bigger than their stocks and so. So they could sell a lot in one go, of course losing "efficiency", but the market would be able to cope without any issue.

I think we are on the same side here judging from the rest of your comment, but I find it important to refute this typical argument, because it does not help that there is some sort of billionaire apologism by saying that they "don't actually have this money in their bank account to spend".

Is there a Lemmy equivalent to /r/beetlejuicing yet?

The downvotes are just typical Reddit/Lemmy superiority complex, whenever some science stuff that "most people don't know" shows up, anyone saying anything different gets downvoted a ton.

Source/opinion/joke, doesn't matter, just going against the hivemind.

What about the videos recorded in Ecuador, where the same reservoir is drained on both sides of the equator and the water spins in different directions?

Edited to add the link since other users asked for it down in the replies: https://youtu.be/4IIVfoDuVIw

Edit2: check the replies below, the video is good at debunking this. But it's not super easy to notice

Celsius is literally just Kelvin but shifted... So it's just as friendly for "universal math".

Mostly yes, but they're in general oversimplified (for obvious reasons)

But it's more about offensive cyber security than necessarily the Linux part. The Linux part is just file system navigation and not much more, the rest is the "hacking" part, and that's what I'm talking about

Disclaimer: I did not complete it, but I got pretty far, and I worked in the cyber security area.

I would however say it's not a good place if you want to learn as that's not really the game's focus. There are better resources out there like overthewire and linuxjourney for that

The meme is not about the miscarriage but about how tone deaf it was. So your point is actually why the meme started being a thing, mocking the comic itself. That's the context of it as far as I'm aware

It depends heavily on region. I personally don't think I ever had issues with parsers. I used the awesome CV template as a base. It's fairly simple while still not being completely boring. You can find it on GitHub or overleaf iirc (it's been a while).

Done it and highly recommend it

It's my belief that it's rare for evolution to screw up.

That's not how it works, I'm pretty sure... Mutations will have random effects and the species evolves based on characteristics being selected for based on better survivability, reproductive effectiveness, etc.

I would do everything I could to find an alternative solution and talk them down from it.

I've read your other messages and it seems that you're thoroughly convinced that this wasn't the case here. I suggest that you get a bit more context about this whole situation, as it has been a long path of trying multiple treatments and approaches, without any success. So it's not even remotely close to what you suggest here. No Futurama suicide chambers here.

Do people know you're circumcised based on your skin colour? Seems like a facetious comparison

Wait, you're not AI too?

Nice reference

Hasn't been the case anymore for quite some time, even though I think it has quite generous sudo rules. But yes, it's not meant to be your main OS but instead more like a toolbox you use in liveboot/VM/etc.
