I've never used a HP 9885 floppy disk drive but the chip sounds pretty awesome for PLC programmable logic controller drudgery tasks like emulating many relays for combinatorial logic. So there's probably a simulated virtual relay

This is not quite the "world wide web" we signed up for, but its definitely the one we got, LOL.

If you're a 30 minute drive away from a park it must be extremely urban and therefore expensive. It might be cheaper to move somewhere suburban or go completely nomadic. You may not get a chance to see the Grand Canyon or other natio

Not all relationship/interactions with social media will be positive or neutral. Everybody knows about social media addiction already, for example. The analogy of abusive relationship IRL with various web dark patterns seems new. Its

keto usually results in appetite suppression which is where the "real" weight loss comes from. If I eat a cookie I'll feel hungry for another cookie in an hour or two even though biochemically I definitely do not need another

The concept of criminality as a protected career category is a political litmus test of no other content. May as well just ask if people are "D" or "R".

Which is the whole point of hate speech laws. Can't market censorship of one party, but who could ever oppose censoring hate... then redefine hate to be anything you'd like censored, and ... that's what we have now. Any time

As the editor of the internet, are they not taking on full legal liability for anything they haven't blocked yet?

So is this a BBS? I find that amazing that the BBS acronym doesn't show up although it would seem an obvious comparison.

Interesting thought experiment, a single Arleigh Burke destroyer has 96 vertical launch cells and can trivially be arranged to fire to a time and incoming bearing on a target. So if an enemy ship, perhaps an aircraft carrier, really pissed

Top Gun the Movie is actually pretty accurate when you look at the last 30 years of "no fly zone" enforcement, which was the mission in the movie. Many dozens of times over multiple decades in multiple theaters against multiple op

Programming the drones would be a pain. The wikileak ROE from 2008 was 27 pages long whereas Alexa struggles to converse on the topic of two plus two. Maybe some century we can replace the entire policy generating middle management of the

If a process doesn't work, adding lots of people to it will not help. A major part of the problem is scalability. "In the old days" the automated system that eats signed binary packages and outputs a usable apt-get accessibl

You'll need some electricity and that's a mere heat generator. The Carnot heat engine efficiency is not nice at a cold side of 2000K and the working fluid will be a problem. Maybe gaseous helium or argon to reduce leakage, I gues

You can put the effort in on your schedule to degoogle, or wait for them to discontinue services where you have to degoogle on their priorities plans and schedule. You'll note the list doesn't have solutions to replace Google Read

As with most financial things it depends on location and time and specific conditions. Generally, its been illegal since 2014 nationwide to have a prepay penalty. In my state its been illegal as long as I've had a mortgage. In some w

In all fairness modern naval reactors like the A1B are pushing more like 700 MW thermal (unclassified, probably higher) and float in what amounts to an infinite heatsink of excellent liquid coolant. Of course lifetimes and decades of exper
