Re:Replacing jQuery (110kb) With UmbrellaJS (8kb) on Tuesday January 18, 2022 @11:36AM (#29981660)
That's much worse than jQuery's implementation, there's no event delegation or namespacing

Yes, when we compare the rates of transmission between vaccinated and unvaccinated communities, vaccinations are stopping the spread. More questions?
It's no mystery, the Reason Foundation is a libertarian think tank. This is the same purposeful omission made previously by The Tax Foundation's "California Considers Doubling Its Taxes" article on the same topic.

Even the author walks it back in the article. CA is "practically" or "roughly" doubling its taxes (and removing insurance costs). The clickbait headline though? "DOUBLING"

The headline is no accident, The Tax Foundation is a center-right, fiscally conservative organization, generally critical of tax increases.

This post should have an asterisk. It is not risk free, a primary concern being drug-to-drug interactions. That said, a lethal dose is 10-20x what is typically administered.

The heightened sense of internal reality for DMT users is mostly due to its interaction with the visual cortex.

False dichotomy. The author mentions the use of tags and emails as a reason why this solution works better than others.

If you read it, TFA is more than just a folksy phrase like "make it a habit."

Which it is right now, so "happy birthday" is public domain.

The original post didn't say "that do not charge tax." Yes you must pay taxes where applicable, like all purchases.

"Happy birthday" is public domain and

you don't need to report things you buy online on your taxes

Re:Web3 is going just great on Tuesday December 14, 2021 @07:42PM (#29560400)
Then Web3 doesn't exclusively benefit speculators.

And there's a big difference between SSH and SSI.

And solves it problems that, you say, weren't already solved.

So it boils down to blockchains taking too much electricity?

Re:Web3 is going just great on Tuesday December 14, 2021 @05:08PM (#29558708)
SSI uses public key cryptography, are you familiar with it? Adding a blockchain allows creation of a registry, smart chain interactions, notarization, many other features.

How does it only benefit speculators?

Re:Web3 is going just great on Tuesday December 14, 2021 @03:55PM (#29557550)

How does self-sovereign identity exclusively benefit speculators?

Yes

No it's not, the study specifically mentions "the relative reduction of risk conferred by prior proven COVID-19 infection"

Arbitrary Properties (inline styles) can now use constraints (css vars), media queries, and hover/focus states, the reasons Tailwind said you should use their utility classes instead of inline styles in the first place :)

That's just market manipulation. Going on Twitter and saying "BTC to the moon!" isn't a Ponzi. It requires an actor (like Charles Ponzi) to take new investors' money and pay it to old. Bitconnect was Ponzi scheme, not in some abstract sense.
