And the quest is optionally tethered. I played Alyx on the Quest+gaming PC and it's an excellent experience.

The prices are way closer together than that, because both companies sell way more than 3 cards. There are three variants of 2080 priced differently and two of the 2070 and 2060 each. That's seven price points above 300$ alone without

> Well - they charged more at each price point... Are you joking? How is it the same price point when they are charging more?

I like to ask the following question: What do we know about reality that we didn't know before the work of these HEP theorists? This is not rhetorical. There are some works for which there is a concrete positive answer (which might not

To me this makes it a fundamentally different thing to jupyter.

Even the linked BBC article will tell you as much, including that every participant was tested for Covid 19. I have seen/used such temporal contact network datasets, they are very important to understand the micro-dynamics of disease s

I think this is the honest answer. The people upset simply don't want a browser with measurable market share. In the Stack overflow survey Emacs has a market share of <5%. Non programmers have never heard of Emacs. If Firefox was ta

Universal Basic Income would also help with this problem.

That might be your preferred ideology. There is, however, no evidence that democratic goverments that control more of a societies spending do worse for their countries. On the contrary there are plenty of areas where we know governments are

So what? That just means that you get ahead if the company you own grows ahead of the broader economy and that you lose out if you fall behind.

The money ears money thing is key. A wealth tax that equals the money you can earn from having money would prevent runaway inequality due to the "rich getting richer" effect. S&P 500 has a long term annualized return of 10%. I

It's not obvious that predicted grades are categorically worse than the system they put in place though, is it? In some aggregate statistics we can see them perform worse but exams and grading aren't about averages at school level

So let's look at n^m. The condition is sum_n n^-m ; and that diverges for m smaller or equal 1. If you have a sequence that grows asymptotically like n^m it means that f(n)/n^m goes to a constant asymptotically. So the question is

The managers at Google who authorized the huge as budgets clearly thought the ads did matter.

Pretty much every Firefox discussion on Hacker news you have commenters that say they just can't stand Firefox because it's 10ms slower than Chrome. Google also has been advertising Chrome heavily for the last ten years. And there

Top comment under this post does. Gecko/Firefox/Security is unaffected according to the very twitter posts linked. Servo and Infrastructure services are not.

Except they are not. The article is wrong according to the very sources it links.

This article has no substance, and the tweets it links to explicitly contradict it's core message. Maybe the author isn't aware of the difference between Servo and Gecko? https://twitter.com/gcpascutto/status&

PPP is one thing. You also don't have to worry about healthcare or tuition costs for your kids or (depending on country) pension. 60K is absolutely plenty of money if you don't have to worry about all of this.

Donors don't fund Firefox. Search engine revenue does. Every scrap of evidence suggests that donations will absolutely not fund work at the scale of Firefox. If they did our overall open source infrastructure would be in much better sh

Your last paragraph is non sequitur. It is perfectly possible for the syntax to not be the interesting part, and for SQL to have been successful despite bad syntax. The underlying idea is brilliant, so the first syntax that exposed it suffi

The module also gets partially precompiled on load. If you make the module part of the systemimage it's as quick as you would expect.

Storing methane is cheaper, and you can use it for heating, it brings down costs when used in addition to hydrogen storage: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.05290.pdf " 4.7. Methanation scenario - In the Methanation sc

If you put the methanation plants next to the gas power plants you don't need leaky gas infrastructure. And methane leaks still seem easier to deal with than nuclear waste.

You generate hydrogen using excess renewables, then turn that into methane and store it to burn in conventional gas power plants. Look up various versions of Power2Gas. It's not economical right now because we have few times when renew

Methanization is currently expected to be the critical storage component for CO2 neutral energy systems. A major driver of storage need in many places is not renewable fluctuations but seasonal fluctuations: You need more heating in winter&

by Certhas 6y ago
It's simply not true that nuclear is the only way. Renewables plus methanization can definitely do it at a price not much above what we currently pay. It's not clear at all that nuclear is cheaper, though it would require less res
