It doesn't require the browser to be always on, unless you want to download something (which is the same as a normal download). Do you mean it's better for the health of the swarm for a particular file? Otherwise I'm not sure I get your point.

While we're at it, let's give lower priority to obese, smokers, alcoholics... or let's not. It's a slippery slope to start discriminating against people based on whether the admitting staff think they're worthy of treatment or not. We're better than that.

They should at least make their sign-up and login password fields have the same max length attributes...

Didn't they get banned or there was a campaign to ban them after someone was killed by someone riding a fixie, in London?

What happens when the fees due on collection get so high that the importer / final delivery company / final customer changes their mind about collecting the container? Who has to store and ultimately dispose of the contents? Do they get to auction it off and keep the proceeds?

Would you be in favour of applying this policy to all people displaying behaviours deemed at higher risk of requiring hospital treatment? And who should decide what constitutes risky activity?

We weren't talking about mandates, but I'll bite. The difference is you don't have to trust the government to know seat belts save lives; the law on seat belts is common sense to anyone of sound mind. On the other hand, show me anyone who can see that getting an injection of some vaccine of unknown (to the average recipient) content and function is common sense. Note that I'm NOT making ANY claims about the vaccine efficacy or danger of lack thereof, simply that a typical individual can't look at the clear liquid in the syringe and innately know that it saves lives. It necessarily requires faith in government or medical institutions or doctors who tell us they are safe. Seat belts don't require such faith, so such mandates can't be compared like for like.

Cavities. We trade off bandwidth for peak sensitivity by sending the same light back and forth between mirrors in the arms of the interferometer hundreds of times. As the gravitational wave passes, the same light samples it over and over and picks up additional phase shift, enhancing the signal. The downside is that we can't see gravitational waves at signals far above the cavity pole frequencies at a few 10s of kHz, but the most promising sources we aimed at when the detectors were designed were considered to be below that.

We also use techniques called power and signal recycling to enhance this bandwidth-sensitivity tradeoff even more. Combined these techniques give you what remains between your 1/1000th wavelength and the actual sensitivity of LIGO and Virgo.

I started out with OpenSCAD but found it limited me eventually with some of its lack of advanced features, probably because it focuses on solid geometry. I recently switched to CadQuery which uses the same CAD kernel as FreeCAD and haven't looked back. It's also Python rather than a domain specific language.

I got one second hand from someone I worked with who was moving away. I also didn't realise how much fun it would be. There's great satisfaction from tuning the device to print perfectly and it forces your CAD skills to improve. And of course, being able to print little gizmos to fix things around the house is great too.

Yes, npm is typically used to build minified JavaScript code for WordPress plugin distribution. WordPress developers themselves use it for the Gutenberg editor.

I personally dislike this new age and miss the days of hacking with just a text editor and browser, but I understand their benefits.

You either didn't read or understand my comment, or you're intentionally choosing not to address my points, so I won't reply to you any more.
