Yes, your quotes' source is from a 1971 paper and I realize this source isn't much better than you saying otherwise, but it could be that the Socrates quote is not accurate - https://maverickphilosopher.typepad.com/maverick_philosopher...

The Egyptian priest quote is muddied too - https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/4923/was-this-q...

I wouldn't build an argument on them...

I got hooked with Yggdrasil on CD-RROM. The 20+ 3.5” floppies was too bulky for me.

That price should be divided by 10 since the CPU is 5th gen from 2015[0].

Best offer your $64 and see if you get it. My bet is no and the eBay seller knows a bit more about what it’s worth

Brand new ones are only up to 11th gen Intel last I checked. They stay on long term and stable parts so they can sell them a few years unlike normal business machines that get refreshes every year or so.

I like that multiple databases can be used in the same scripting context. http://www.linqpad.net/FAQ.aspx#cross-database

“We are super proud to have made this open source piece of technology” - of course it’s open source - you live in the state of “Live free or die!” My favourite state motto. Thanks!

So, are you suggesting that the gel was the cause of the cancer for the supervisor? If so, was that sink’s drain connected to a diverter such that the waste didn’t enter the typical sewage system?

1Gbs? Why not go for 6Gbs?

[Alupis → voidmain0001]

Well, 60Ghz might be licensed spectrum. I'm not sure beyond 5 and 2.4Ghz - been a while since I followed the WISP space.

That is a lot of Gbps over the air, either way! Ubiquiti has had impressive WISP kit for as long as I can remember.

This reminds me of the supposed factory floor modification to include a battery heat sink on the Model Y. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24424567

Could this eventuality happen to Google, Nvidia, or Apple?

[infinite8s → voidmain0001]

Why not? Google's only been a powerhouse for the last decade or so.
