"bizzare" state lol

some day mainstream scientism will realize that it is impossible to extrapolate global reality from local perceptions...


Isn't that what science is based upon though? We can only make assumptions based upon observed results. You can extrapolate and then test based upon those extrapolations, and we can acknowledge that there are gaps, but I don't think someone saying "wow, that didn't meet my expectations at all" in any way discredits science.


you want him to be responsible for hosting parts of your site on his server?

how does it make any sense for him or for you?


The author already provides a CDN url. If they are so inclined, creating a memorable url (perhaps even a shortlink) would help with styling quick and dirty projects. I don't think people are doing to be running massive websites using this library.


It is in fact a common business model, known as a CDN (Content Delivery Network). A quick Google search will return many examples.

Most popular libraries (Bootstrap) or fonts are hosted on at least one CDN.


Business being the key term here - this kid is 13, and from what I can tell, doesn't make any money from this. How would it make sense for him to pay to have this available via CDN?


he already provides link to cdn. it seems that the parent didn't like that it was too long.


it could be a http redirect to the cdn


so he will be responsible to maintain the domain name and server for perpetuity, just for short link


what privacy is for, if not freedom


"Freedom" in terms of software doesn't mean privacy, but freedom to run, modify, and redistribute software: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html


Agreed here, the two should never be conflated.

You could make a totally open-source, libre-licensed DRM enforcement framework -- any user willing to dig through it could probably modify and defuse it, but out of the box, it would be an example of free software which aims to defeat freedom.


Or maybe Boeing reputation management op

No one ever checks those stories


i saw this video a couple years ago which shows it still in-progress.

lol at people who give strangers money for a promise to return


Investing in stock and bond markets is "giving money to strangers for a promise of a return".


At this point it's propped up by buybacks and central banks that can print as much as they want.

We'll see how it works out.


Watch "Person of Interest" show


The "My way is better than yours" insecurity projection


It's purely an opinion and interpretation.

The other interpretation is that the experiment shows that collapse of potential fields into manifest reality is individual for each observer.


> The other interpretation is that the experiment shows that collapse of potential fields into manifest reality is individual for each observer

General Relativity makes sense because our interpretation of a phenomenon is distorted in a mathematically reversible way which is localized to the observer.

If it were to be proven that a given wave function could collapse into two distinct quantum states simultaneously depending on the state of the observer, it would basically throw a wrench into the entire system.


Make it play a quiet calming music to the patients taste


My guess, it was a typo in client and they've registered misspelled domain as easiest fix for backwards compatibility with affected old releases.

It was created in 1996, so likely not. Although that expiration date is interesting...
