If they cost less than 20% more _total_, including installation costs, which is interesting because it means the higher the installation costs in a particular area the more likely it is to be worth the added cost of the more efficient panel

At the scale social media companies operate at, absolutely perfect moderation with zero false negatives is unavailable at any price. Even if they had a highly trained human expert manually review every single post (which is obviously way to

A train that takes you directly from the inside of your garage to the front door of your destination, in a private cabin, with no transfers or unnecessary stops at locations you aren't traveling to. So... still more a car than a train.

Stoke Space also has a pretty huge rocket nerd at the helm[1]. And of course there's Blue Origin (even though they seem to be taking forever). The industry has been flourishing lately, though (with the possible exception of Blue Origin

Oh wow, they're finally doing it! I've been waiting for this[1] since Web Bundles became a thing, but after 6+ years I was starting to get the impression it wasn't going to happen. I guess I haven't been following it sup

Seems obvious to me. The underlying model was originally trained on text completion. Audio completion seems on the surface at least like a pretty logical extension of that, no?

Or, more to the point: why should I have to hire an expensive lawyer who's an expert on macaroni law to make sure I'm not going to potentially land myself in federal prison (or at least be subject to fines) when I start my new mac

That's a workable definition at least, but what you're proposing is effectively a nationwide ban on algorithmically recommended content. Or is that your whole point?

Merely _hundreds_? At Facebook's scale that seems like a really low number, no? Like, even if they were doing manual review of every single ad (which they probably aren't) I'd expect at least a few to slip through merely due

Google Takeout is excellent; basically GDPR data downloads 5 years before GDPR was even a thing. Before moving anything to Apple Maps I'd want to be sure they offer a similar feature so I'm not locked in.

Well firstly, you're citing a study from a company that makes antivirus software for mobile phones. They have a vested interest in trying to convince you that such software is necessary. Secondly, the #1 and #2 "malware apps"

I think a big part of the problem is that consumer internet upload speeds are often way slower than download speeds. So they might download 1 GB of data but only have time to seed 50 MB before the stream is over.

"Flourish" is a bit of an exaggeration. You have to jump through a lot of hoops to install malware of any significant capability on Android, ignoring like a half dozen red flags in the process. Obviously that's not going to

Yeah, desktop Linux more obscure and generally used by more technically inclined people so malware is less common, but out of the box its just as vulnerable to viruses as Windows or any other OS that runs user-installed applications with no

I do think in the case where a company is benefiting from the exploitation of limited natural resources (like land) that don't naturally belong to any one person, imposing a tax on that does make sense. There was a podcast I listened t

It's almost never going to be that bad unless you're going out over a terrible internet connection. Worst case you could have a way to configure one camera to run its own NTP server and have the others sync to it over LAN. That wo

Yeah, sadly that's a bit of a chicken-egg problem. OSM isn't popular enough to crowdsource that information as well as Google can. Though in the spirit of "be the change you want to see", it's pretty easy to add ope

When you think about it's actually pretty ridiculous that this difficult in the first place, in the internet era. In principle all you really need is a standard way to tag each keyframe with an NTP-synced timestamp, and any camera with
