To access any site protected by cloudflare captcha i have to change browsers from firefox to chrome. and i have basically default suite of addons (ublock is the only one affecting the pages themselves). VPN doesn't matter, i probably s

too new? what? It took too long. around 10-15 years too long. and that probe is older than quite a big portion of HN users.

It works great! sadly the results are way behind it's peers, but method is great!

And frankly accuracy does not matter. for navigation using Code method GPS-tier is basically good enough. for precise measurement you use phase measurement of the signal, and what you care about is good(low) DoP of constellation and amount

Europe honestly had pretty... mid track record for space program. should i bring up Galileo and how many years it took?

No model, so irrelevant because EU is extremely late to the party, as i say that as someone from EU.

the issue is that Factorio sells you a product. outright. and they are an outlier.

It's more akin to someone giving you an umbrella subscription(if it rains more than twice this year I'll save money!), killing our all the competition with dumping prices by running on loss for years, and then hiking up the prices

what if i want to do that AFTER fix was applied? what if you replace battery AFTER the fix was applied? you can't rollback. again, it's about user's choice. it's not apple's device, but whoever bought it. they shoul

Again, let user chose. apple sold a product, it's out of their hands to decide what users do with it. Maybe i want to use the device in a way that's 100% connected to the charger and repurpose it. It's not apple's busine

I was there twice last year. Food was cheaper. It's not that UK is cheap, it's more that eastern europe has gotten more expensive.

by Xelbair 2y ago
UK's food, not eating out mind you, is on par with even eastern europe in some cases.

by Xelbair 2y ago
you are still missing the point. USER should chose that. not apple. not all of them shut down, someone might get a battery replacement. What apple should've do is to introduce a toggle, give a warning in notification. and in case of cr

the problem isn't that they've done it. the problem is that user got no choice. Some might prefer degraded performance, others might prefer to charge their devices more often. Also seller should have no business touching anything

and is relevant for more than original intent. censorship, and similar constraints on free speech, just hide the problems of society so you are unable to act on possible threats as a policymaker.

if i use personal time for work commute, i count that as time wasted.

also who even gets promoted internally and in what way? usually it is meager salary gain for a lot of new responsibilities 99% of time if you want to get promoted or get a pay rise you apply somewhere else if you want your pay to match your

a) China is third to US and EU in terms of GDP. And their economy is on a downwards trajectory. what about population? as that's the main driving factor for pollution - especially if you couple that with energy needs.
267.
by Xelbair 2y ago
People might not like this, but that's true. as long as non-western countries keep polluting - even if we achieve net-zero nothing will change other than us feeling better and patting ourselves in the back.

most of them do, also have you heard about quantity? the amount of storage build for spent nuclear fuel+energy buffer vs buffer for just renewables aren't even in same ballpark. Just do a simple fermi estimation. Btw - the white "

by Xelbair 2y ago
total energy output per required materials over it's lifecycle. by orders of magnitude. and constant power output requiring less buffers to store electricity, hence less waste. It's not even close in the same ballpark.

by Xelbair 2y ago
because you have to build it - construction machines, concrete, transportation of material to construction site and all that - does that not produce pollution? Think of whole lifecycle. also the amount of storage you have to build also dama
