Looks like some connectivity is creeping into the high-end stuff like Gaggenau as well, but at least they still stick to TFT screens and not huge LCD touch displays, and it looks like the connectivity stuff is actually useful for stuff like

There's a Radiolab episode about this. An Octopus mother brooding her eggs for month on end and then dying just when the eggs hatched. Episode title is Octomom.

This is an aside, but is there a curriculum in kindergarten in your country? Kindergartens were closed for a couple of months in my country, but there were no virtual "teaching" at all. I don't know what in the lords name my

I just got 200Mbps down on 4G. Granted it’s late at night and I’m in an office building by the highway next to a grave yard and a school, but still.

In Norway you are required to allow the national library to archive your websites, but I assume there's a lot that's slipping through the cracks ...

In Norway any publication needs to be deposited to the national archive by law. That includes scientific journals and in theory even small publications distributed in a private setting if it's a big enough group of people (I'm not

None of the games I play on my switch is nagging me to sign up or buy anything. Mostly Super Mario Odyssey, New Super Mario Bros and Zelda, but the same goes for most Nintendo games.

The long term solution is of course a strong labor movement that can fight this shit every step of the way. There is no quick fix that solves everything.

I'm not sure if Apple ever explained why they didn't open up FaceTime? I seem to remember that when they presented it they said it would become an open standard?

If they were texting the doctors messages would be blue if recipient had iMessage and green if normal SMS. Most likely how he found out he had an iPhone he could FaceTime.

Space X will need a license in each country/regulation to provide their service there. They will probably employ some geofencing or similar to comply.

But most of this is already being done with existing satellite services. Starlink is cool and better than existing providers in many respects, but it's not a total game changer.

I speak a lot with customers on satellite phones more or less every day. When they are calling from a BGAN terminal the latency can be a problem. Latency is around 1000-1500ms. But when speaking on a VSAT Ka-band terminal the latency is les

Maybe, but with tens of thousands of satellites, each with a life expectancy of about 3-5 years then Space X will have to re-fill the constellation constantly.

Haha. A bit unrelated, not sure how it works in the rest of the world, but inNorway EV charging stations doesn’t even have a card reader, you have to sign up with an app and register your card there. And each charging company has their own

Crime rate have very little to do with how society is policed. If you want to find explanations look at wealth distribution, poverty rates, the school system, job market and so on.

You can use heat from burning garbage as well. My town has an incinerator which burns garbage at high temperatures, the heat is used to warm water which is used to heat buildings (as far as I know not as hot water directly).

Sure there's lots of factors. My point is that if you can stop or limit gatherings and contact points early the spread will decrease dramatically. It will still spread within smaller communities like families, but as long as you can li

To me (as a layman) it seems like if you take drastic measures early and get procedures and infrastructure for testing and contact tracing and isolate the sick and those who have been in contact with the sick it’s possible to get it under c

I just checked and Verkhoyansk lowest temperature record is -67.8 deg C, and highest is 38.0 deg C. That is 105.8 deg temperature range. In Celsius. In Fahrenheit the range is almost 200 degrees!

Where this is actually being tested, f.ex. some Scandinavian countries, the "inmate" is allowed to leave their apartment for work and necessary errands like grocery shopping or doctor visits. It's much better for everyone to

Not if you don't have to use it for whatever reason. Personally I never learned the difference between am and pm before I got a job where I had to interact with people who used it. Still not sure if noon/midnight is 12am or 12 pm
