But such an improvement in efficiency would surely reduce fuel costs, which matter a lot to consumers, though maybe not in the US where it’s cheap.

Similar energy because it’s similar people. Horseshit salesmen trying to get rich off the next hype wave, and to get suckers to hold their bags.

What’s the catch with the Carnot engine? If if’s real then surely this would be a global news worthy breakthrough?

Ok but are you going to send a petition to Apple or what? How are you going to practically solve this problem without a proxy?

How would you support E2E without the proxy? Not that the majority of people’s emails are truly E2E anyway on Proton, but still.

They’re pretty expensive, and the nature of the service means that if they disappear, they have ownership of your domain and you have no recourse to get it back.

I've used WebUSB to flash an Android device before. Yes, it's useful and easy, but it's also ripe for vulnerabilities. Web bloat needs to stop growing. The browser should not be a kitchen sink for anything anybody in tech wan

That's only one example of K8s weirdness that can wake you up at 3am. How: change is rolled out during business hours that changes service config inside ConfigMap. Pod doesn't get notified or reload this change. Pod crashes at nig

K8S is overrated, it's actually pretty terrible but everyone has been convinced it's the solution to all of their problems because it's slightly better than what we had 15 years ago (Ansible/Puppet/Bash/immutab

Even so, reddit is a huge echo chamber. The moderation is completely opaque so if a subreddit moderator doesn't like something you've said they can remove it at will, and they often do. And the upvote system encourages groupthink.

Is it built on Matrix? I used Riot (now Element) back in the day, but like others have said in this thread, without a network effect these things don't really take off. I haven't heard of anyone using Element for years now.

Flood the battery with water? Isn't the whole issue with lithium that it is very reactive with oxygen and water? Wouldn't you want to flood it with foam or CO2?

I don't know about that, they voted for this. Good will can be burnt surprisingly quickly, especially when they're singing to the tune of Russian propaganda. It only took one round of tariffs on Canada for relations to considerabl

Perhaps the only good thing he's done so far is unite Europe, but it remains to be seen if we've actually been roused into action. The US has shown itself to be an unreliable ally and we need to be able to fend for ourselves now.

Why does Mozilla keep falling into the trap of bringing these crappy MBAs into their leadership? Promote real ambassadors of privacy and open software instead of people like the current interim CEO, who is ex-McKinsey. If they can't ma

In your experience how often have you had template builds succeed but then fail at apply time? This kind of issue is what I find most frustrating about IaC today, your 'code' 'compiling' means nothing because all of the

Even so. Food can evoke the same neurochemical response as hard drugs or sex for some people. It is even more readily available than either of those things, and it is advertised and produced by multinational conglomerates with huge advertis

This is the same line of thinking as "drug addicts should just stop doing drugs."

There are some signs that these drugs have effects beyond just apetite supression leading to weight loss. I recall reading something about them having a direct slowing effect on the metabolism, which increases longevity, among other benefit

This class of the drugs is the biggest thing to happen in medicine in a long time in my view (as somebody who does not work in the industry.) Is there any data to show they have an effect on other addictive behaviours, like drug addiction,

I think the argument I'd like to make is that when there is a oligopsony, regulators should intervene to add more competitors to the sell side. In other words, fund competitors, instead of using law to directly twist the arms of compan

This makes sense but is twisting the arms of the infrastructure companies the way to go? Can't we just encourage free market dynamics? If open platforms are what the consumer wants, manufacturers will sell phones with open platforms an

Willing to have my mind changed on this: why should Apple be forced to allow sideloading? A big part of the reason I use Apple products is that they protect not only me, but my family who don't know what the implications of sideloading
