I don't think that is a real concern for the Taliban. I would rather ask: why would they? Are we expecting Taliban to consider giving out registrations? To foreigners?! What would be their motivation to streamline this in any way at a

Pregnant women have been consuming all kinds of food for centuries. We also took insane child mortality numbers and all kinds of defects for granted. Our mothers still consumed food that has a tendency to contain/grow listeria. Then it

All our pediatricians strongly advised foregoing soy based alternatives (son had a milk-protein allergy), at least until he is 2, better even longer. The argument from the less concerned was something along: Better safe then sorry, no one c

Still absurd. The amount of oat you have to feed a cow to get a single litre is not even close to the literal handful you need for an oat-based milk - let alone the time and how of work that went into caring for the cows, handling the mess,

As an European I am always baffled by the humongous containers you have overseas. Here we buy litres or half, and we adore milk, mostly 3.5%. The non-diary alternatives are not even allowed to be called milk (they are now drinks ).

Agreed. The wikipedia link above has 2009 as the earliest date. In Austria you would find random scenic train rides on TV whenever you would switch on the TV in the middle of the night at least from 2002 onward, if not earlier... And I don&

I don't understand this comment. Autonomous lawn mowers are everywhere in my neighborhood, albeit being quite expensive. Some even have two for front and back. Unless you have a very big yard or a very small yard it is quite literally

Hm, I don't know if I understand your ideal world correctly, but back in the days, when you could host your own game servers for e.g. Team Fortress or Counter Strike (all based on Half-Life the original and basically free with every &

Hm, also some features (e.g. USB C/3.1 headers) were only available on high-end gaming MoBos for quite a long time, making the whole build power-hungry and needlessly fragile. Before that, MoBo manufacturers even made extensive use of

by bipson 5y ago
I remember something that there was a technical issue with that "compatibility"... Was it something about power ratings or the chipset/MoBo becoming such a bottleneck that this was essentially useless? Or am I just thinking a

AMD was aiming for that when AM4/Zen was announced, knowing that this was a major pain point for enthusiasts and builders/"upgraders". This would have been my main reason to build an AMD system, although I was easy to wi

This is not limited to EVs - several "old school" manufacturers have not only put uplinks in their cars ( obviously just so that the user can do fancy things remotely /s), but also introduced rental options, pay-as-you-go ex

Hm, I think this reasoning is not always true. The manufacturer could make a cost/benefit-analysis, concluding that building a machine that lasts approx. these 1000 runs but no longer, and paying for recycling afterwards is cheaper tha

Every (keyed) lock is easily picked with enough time and the right tools. Being able to carry it home, will give you our your conspirators more than enough time.

Kudos for the inventive solution, but it is not significantly better than a good lock. Nothing is. And even that isn't really good. An acquaintance of mine had his new and shiny bike stolen in front of his flat on a busy street over ni

I had a bike like that (quote a friend of mine after borrowing it for someone else: "That bike is plain dangerous!") stolen after I left it on a bike rack on the sidewalk for a few days, since I needed it out of the flat. And it w

There are a lot of misunderstandings and shallow information in the article (and in the comments). I used the RT_PREEMPT patches in 2012/13, so my insight is most certainly rusty, dated and might even be wrong here or there. But still:

Zephyr has nothing to do with the Linux Kernel -- especially from a technical standpoint. It is a project that is under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, that's all.

Hm, no, I don't think that's ad hominem. I didn't say nuclear does generate CO2. I said it produces waste, and that I have a definition of renewable that does not include nuclear. You first shifted the goalposts and said it i

Let's say there are different opinions on that. I won't adopt definitions forced by countries that also want natural gas plants to be categorized as "green" ("who cares what they emit?!")

Nuclear is a terrible "backup" for renewables. Renewables fluctuate. Nuclear is not great at scaling, and most reactors cannot be shut down without taking weeks and months for safe re-starting. Nuclear is good for base load. And c

I have LineageOS installed on an old BQ Aquaris X for more than a year now. Most of the time it is unusable and slow . It randomly crawls, i.e. opening a browser, an input field, or the GMail App will make the device halt for about 10s. It

Yeah, custom ROMs. Most devices never get custom ROMs any longer than you would get regular updates anyway (since newer Android versions would not run on this chip). Custom ROMs are a mess anyway: - Untrusted sources - Random annoying bugs

This whole mindset is so shockingly wrong from an academic perspective. Research based on or involving code/models/algorithms should always be accompanied by a code drop. Nobody expects the code to be of good quality. Everything
