Not with rockets, but maybe with lasers? What damage can a single one do? Could a country deploy them at specific orbits to have enough coverage to destroy a sufficient amount?

GoLand does a better job and is more stable and reliable than VSCode here, even having to restart the daemon from time to time for VSCode. Of course it could also be what you said, I can only write for myself. I hope they will be able to introduce stability and reliability of the former.

Or they don't understand why its a good habit and so follow the advice blindly, not knowing when to skip it or not. Breadth of experience.
Is the gut usually the main target or just as byproduct getting wiped? If not then its not necessarily an issue.
I wonder whether its possible to transplant the bacteria out before such a treatment and introduce them again later..
Why would it be less successful compared to Apple Pay? Isn't it the same functionality?

What are limiting steps?

At least at that place. Imagine all the other places which perished due to various reasons. A numbers game.

It does not even have to be worse to be a problem. Maybe the battery requires certain loads and capacity at certain times to work efficiently and not age as fast. There are too many unknowns.

What reasons did they name?

Thorough explanation, thank you.
There may not be a good equivalent in case the load is different enough from normal use.

Is there also a drm-free version available?

Don't embedded devices fix the DNS-server to a specific one? Worst case the provider fixes it to their own. That has downsides too though.

> Developers should create a Google Design Document (a fairly minimal, but structured design doc), explaining the project, what goals it hopes to achieve, and explains why it can’t be done in other ways.

Does somebody have more on this? I'm never sure how to structure my design documents, how does a Google Design Document look like, is there a template somewhere on how to write one? This would be super helpful, please.

Among other things, today's technology is simply not good enough to enable learning to show what wonders one may (with time and effort) achieve.
Broadly said experience.

Denying reality, however bad it may be, hurts in the end more since this sometimes subtly, sometimes not so subtly influences action to avoid the thing I denied out of being. Once everything is allowed there is not much necessity to deny the thing that is stopping you (me in this case). Imagine a central belief that can bring many useful actions to a halt just by being there.

Blame is from other people. You can deny all blame. You do not have to blame yourself. That's a thing which I haven't been taught before. Since I did rather the reverse, it needed the exact opposite to work out. Only consequences are physical. That's why only those matter.

Two mantras helped me.

1. Everything is allowed (especially what already happened.).

2. I may accept consequences (if I wish), but I must not accept any blame.

So loading it up on a website and letting kids do their things is not enough? What would be required to learn this by themselves, if a blogpost is not enough? Memorization by repetition, self-improvement cycles, what do you think would be enough that they can learn it by themselves?

How do you teach something like this? In a classroom, or is it only good incase it comes from experienced parents?
