Can we federate a block chain?

All right, I’m confused

Meta and Google disagree.

Humanity won’t all die. The vast majority might, and all the rich have to do is make sure they’re among the survivors, in a situation where they’re still on top of the remaining society.

Ants? They rock.

The great misunderstanding of hard left leaning western folks is that neither Russia nor China are socialist or communist.

Just like their hard right leaning counterparts they’re stuck in a mindset from the first half of the past century.

They might spread western ideas of communism in China. That’s not something China can allow.

Raid is no backup. Raid helps you against drive failure.

Backup helps you if you or some script screwed up your data, or you need to go back to last months version of a file for whatever other reason.

Aws helps if your house burns down and you need to set up again from scratch.

What? You don’t support bombing against clothing restrictions? Obviously you don’t love your country!

Afghanistan, isn’t that the Taliban? How would inclusive for those look like? Include women in cloth, every bit of them?

At the very least after the first few ten thousand dollars of unpaid bills I would stop working. But there may be other considerations.

I guess I will never call me anything else than agnostic, because I never know what people mean with “god” or “belief”.

Well, there’s the Anthropocene. That has to count for something.

a word is a word, but a uaod is not.

Uh.. What a long winded intro to a nsfw dad joke

Why does it matter to you, if that makes you religious? The understanding of "religious" from the point of view of an atheist is different than from a theist to begin with.

Believing in things we don't understand is the normal human behavior. Everyone, including Carl Sagan, must believe in things they doesn't understand, to live their life. That in itself is not a problem.

The difference between problematic belief and live-your-life belief is how you react when you have to confront a misunderstanding of a previous belief. Will you change your belief, or do you dogmatically stick to it?

Having grown up in a religious household, these definitions seem more restrictive to me that they should be. Religious people see religious behavior even where there is no supernatural god involved. In their eyes, the god of an atheist soccer fan is soccer, and they see much of his behavior as just as religious as theirs. In that world view, it's just the question of a false or true god.

And from that point of view OP's question is very very valid.

But which scientist? There are so many doctors of biology and history that say the climate crisis isn't a result of human activity.

And what to do if two scientists disagree?

Fight club

Same, although aws is my plan b. For plan a I have an older Synology that is a full backup target.
