Not sure I follow this narrative regarding China building a ton of coal plants being a signal for oil shortage. Can you elaborate? There aren't any power plants that run on oil there and the whole thing seems like a move away from hydr

One of the reasons for them being sold out is a lot of the demand for Raspberry comes from industrial customers. For example, back in 2020, they made up 44% of total Raspberry Pi sales. Source: https://www.raspberrypi.com/ne

Interesting article but it feels like the author may be conflating "explosion" with "singularity". An explosion does not imply infinite growth but, instead, a sudden large burst of growth.

You had that right under the old license before it was changed and the repo tracking the ToS was deleted. This is a retroactive change. If people are downloading your installer that was published a year ago, people running that installer af

This is retroactive. The license is accepted via the Unity engine. The games include a Unity runtime and this fee applies to new copies of all existing games. How is this not retroactive? The games were bundled with the runtime in the past.

It's retroactive. https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-plan-pricing-and-packa... Q: Are these fees going to apply to games that have been out for years already? If you met the threshold 2 years ago, you'll s

Yes, it's illegal. They are still doing it. Make sure they don't have your payment information when they start the first wave of billing in February.

What they described is exactly the case. Hence the controversy. Your company should be worried because these ToS changes have been applied retroactively. I agree with you that this is not legal but that is what's happening. Check Unity

The death threats probably came from Tim Cook since Unity decided to torpedo developers right before the Vision Pro launch and Unity is the engine Apple has been promoting for Vision Pro app development.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Warren Buffett an activist investor who'd find undervalued stocks from companies that had poor management and, once his partnerships gained enough control, fire the current management and re

Hence my focus on an index instead of trying to pick individual stocks. It's more like index investing with guard rails.

"Buy low and sell high", while sounding good, is generally terrible advice since you only know what was "low" and "high" in retrospect. A stock (or an index, in this case) might hit a new low only for the price

I don't think it's that hard. Just ask - is the S&P500 lower now than it was three months ago? If the answer is "yes" then maybe stay in cash and put that money in when the answer is "no". Alternatively, if

I would assume so since a weak planetary magnetic field means that the atmosphere is much more easily stripped off over time via solar wind. Mars, having no magnetic field, is a good example of this.

Oculus is not capped at the gamer market size. It's capped by hardware constraints. Until very recently, the hardware wasn't there for high resolution microdisplays and lenses. Most VR equipment has been built using off the shelf

Documentation counts. The problem is a lot of insider and seemingly-common knowledge is never written down and is usually spread through word of mouth. Any sufficiently lengthy disruption means that knowledge is lost.

The corpus of a language is a lot larger and more complex than 20 years of experience in manufacturing especially when a lot of the techniques become dated as new ways of doing things are discovered. Also, we teach thousands of years of exp

This is incorrect. Yes, Dark Matter is matter that does not emit light but it does not absorb nor reflect light as well. In other words, it does not interact with the electromagnetic force. That makes it extremely exotic. And, no, the Ear

How is the article title clickbait? They expected the spectral lines of hybrid atoms to widen the same as regular atoms when immersed in a dense fluid. Instead the spectral lines narrowed. This was so surprising they thought they made a mis

I'm not sure I understand the problem. If we only need to determine what set produces a sum of square roots that is larger, why can't we simply compare the sum of the original numbers? The square root of 2.0000001, for example, is

Have background pages ever had access to DOM? Usually all interaction with an observed tab is done through content scripts not background pages. Same goes for evaling JS code within the context of the inspected window.
