> Living a real, physical life outside the home is good because humans need friction. Convenience is alluring but it is dangerous, because getting used to it means forgetting that being alive isn’t meant to always be easy. We should run our errands in person and queue at the Post Office and eat in restaurants because it is good to remember that sometimes we have to wait around, or go to several shops because the first one didn’t have what we needed.

These are things I was able and am able to do without have to go to the office five days a week

Handheld was never specified directly, just “stood with a” which can just mean “next to.”

The HP 5061 was introduced in 1964, why do you think a counter that can reference the frequency standard is not possible?

You might want to be more rigorous about reading specifications.

It’s copyright. Not authorright.

The exclusive ability to copy is granted as a conceit.

The restriction only came about because publishers got mad.

Back when I ran a nitter instance, I’d get emails about the GDPR.

I’d simply delete them, no problem.

Feels like?

What evidence do you have for the sloppiness and how does the current model fail to explain the deviation in observations?

The mission goal was to land a man on the moon and return him to earth safely.

Where’s the barely? What would you have done better?

Robots aren’t performing science, they’re doing one half of one step of the scientific method: collecting data in an experiment. It’s humans doing all the rest.
