I think you're right, I misremembered the source. Reading online it's called the "robot series" and Asimov says he borrowed it from Heinlein.

Asimov introduced me to this concept in I robot.

In his version there were multiple levels of speed for entry/exit of transit so the main highways were going really fast.

IIRC it required some dexterity to use and sounded a bit dangerous...

To me your selection is reversed.

If you hate ads so much you're prepared to pay fb to get rid of it, I don't believe you're one to click on them.

I agree with you, the higher the level, the more athletes will destroy their bodies in the process.

My critism is about actively encouraging said destruction via promotion of stimulants. It's already bad as it is.

This website ignores the big problem with enhancement medication: the health of participants.

A future where there is an incentive to juice up athletes as much as possible is a recipe for disaster.

Can this tool help to simplify self hosting implems? K3s was recommended to me to replace my personal pile of systemd units starting docker compose configs and manual reverse proxy configs.

Im am completely oblivious to how k8s works.

I remember this being "exposed" in the Tate modern in London.

This piece of art is the one that made me acknowledge and appreciate modern art. It really makes you undestand the value of context and performance.

IANAL obviously, but nothing now stops me from selling T-shirts, figurines and lunchboxes of fable with my own drawings/designs. Any such sale is money not in DC pockets.

The point is to hurt DC financially in reprisal.

Also, characters from fable came from the public domain, so it's a logical conclusion from the point of view of the author.

>where quality is not important, like in games

I don't believe that's a good example. Video game music is an important part of the gaming experience, but its often taken for granted or overlooked.
