I think having fairly advanced species on both sides of the problem would lead to communication at some point. I'd guess that it could take years or decades even for simple communication, and the nuances of cultural exchange could take

I looked into getting an aftermarket replacement for my sucky infotainment system; replace it with an Android tablet or something. But it seems like too much trouble, if I could even do it.

I hate when you get "out of sync" with someone for a whole conversation. I imagine sine ways on an occilloscope and there they just slightly out of phase. You nearly have to do a hard reset to get things comforatble - walk out of

https://voltstorage.com/en/solutions/the-voltstorage-iron-sa... These have commercial products already I believe. I'm not sure if they have any installed yet. They have moved from vanadium batteries.

This is my favourite tech as its cheap and safe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_redox_flow_battery Its commercially available right now as well. Its not as efficient as lithium or as energy dense, but that doesnt m

Would it not be better to have power sinks at every solar/wind farm and that will stabilise everything. Big cheap batteries.

Exactly finding other non-lithium battery tech to use for these just makes sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_redox_flow_battery

Systemic failures, too much power generation and not enough stability.

During a bad storm here many people used their electric cars to power their house. There were still places to charge it and then come back to the house to power it until the house was re-connected.

On a slight side note if anyone has any good references to read on grid stability and resilience please reply. Ex Electronic Engineer interest.

What about large scale distributed containerised Iron Salt batteries? I've seen some papers saying that they help stabilise grids.

My job is extra permanent. If they shut us down they'd just have to find me a desk somewhere. Its a rut, but its my rut...

Did you sue? Because that's bullshit. The retention agreement should have included that clause anyway.

People love meaning and purpose in their life and they typically find that in work as its a complex amalgamation of all sorts of challenges and rewards. I believe UBI would be a net benefit for society it would enable the poorest to survive

I'm actually impressed with some of the software there. Its matured quite a lot since I last looked at it. I might try OnlyOffice. I've never really gelled with LibreOffice due to the UI. My organisation has recently gone all in o

Copyrights and Trademarks were already a mess and now we have AI built on top of that mess. The whole thing should be public domained and we just start fresh. /s

I've used plenty, but uv is basically a one stop shop with a logical workflow. It has sane defaults so really I'd recommend most people just use it for everything, unless they some very specific reasons not to.

revoke the certificate, push that out in the next update. It will take time to propagate but that's how it is. Apple doesn't get to be a major player in the market without playing fair.

Big tech has always driven me mad with how they leverage their monoplies once they reach a certain size. Why can't I swap cloud backends on the mobile platforms? I shouldnt need a gmail/icloud account to setup an android/ios

They mention AI used to weed out molecules but don't mention how it was used. I'd be interested in know did they use pre-trained models or train one from the ground up.

Why not let through all ipv6 traffic? It seems improbable that your device is going to get caught up in a ipv6 scan; the address space is too vast - I'm assuming here. Just have relatively secure devices using ipv6 - not shipping with

Wasn't IPv6 suppose to solve all this? I don't understand why that stalled. Also considering the state of iot security its probably not a great idea to have everything accessible anyway. But that's a slightly different proble

Is anyone really surprised here? This is Elon who is neck deep in the cesspool parts of the internet and attracts the same kinds of people. They will continue to break every rule they can and ignore the legal push back as much as possible.
