That sounds to me like a false equivalence. The cause of obesity is not that food is plentiful because different rich countries have different obesity rates. There is something else driving this issue and, in my opinion, is the prevalence o

In the UK you can drive to the dump and sort yourself the garbage for easier recycling (no fees involved). That is quite a good system. Here, in Portugal, you can dump up to certain weight for free but you end up paying 30-40 Euros for a fu

I still remember my parent´s home landline from 30+ years ago (long gone) but I have no idea of what is my current one or any other of the many I have had to have over years due to telecoms´ bundles. They are not useful anymore, not even a

A bit more on the technic (and expensive) side, you can use a Tilt-Shift lens to change the focus plane and get striking results with PCBs or any other small items.

Should work but don't plug the 110v equipment until the lights are totally on. The initial rush current will cause higher voltages for a split second that may damage it.

Yes it is. I used to ventillate my room in Uni when it was way past -20 C outside. As long as you have decent heating it is not a big deal if you do it periodically.

I have been paying for Resharper (and now Rider and DataGrip) for over fifteen years. Some companies where I worked paid for it other didn't but it didn't matter. It improves the quality of my code and I believe it gives me a comp

It depends on the algorithm, but many models can be re-generated if you start with the same seed.

Maybe we can develop number of text classifiers that would give you hints on the effect of the changes without you having to read it. Or maybe even use AI proof readers that would give you an opinion about the new text. It is an interesting

This is a very interesting take on the history of copyright I had not come across before. It is interesting because the historic facts don't match the pro-copyright narrative. It also echoes what happened in China where the absence of

I use a Canon R6 as a webcam. I noticed it gets reasonably hot after long meetings so I avoid it day to day. It is great, though, for client meetings because they always notice the quality of the image and ask how do I get that nice out of

Although it is funny it is mostly cringey and, if you have ever worked in an office in the UK (in Slough of all places) it brings back some of the bleakness and dullness of the average office in the UK. Having said that, if you know the con

That is a very dangerous prespective. Every policy has unexpected effects that cannot be foreseen and nobody can be sure that something is totally positive and safe.

Wer have something similar for companies in Portugal. The state pays the former state-owned mail service to host a "inbox" of sorts (not a full fledged email) that every company has to have. I am not sure if it covers individuals,

I used the handbrake to stop in that occasion and it just reduces speed and is very hard to stop the car with it. I used the gear box and turned it off for a hard stop. The mechanic that got me out of this drove the car downhill for a coupl

Most offgrid inverters have a generator input to which they will switch when you start the generator. If you replace the generator with the grid (and you have batteries) and the grid goes down they switch seamlessly to the batteries - well,

This mirrors my experience. I was offgrid for over six years and we had enough solar panels and batteries to produce all the power we needed and then some (even in the Winter as this was in South Europe). But for heating we used wood. I sup

I think this is a bit of a fallacy (the decision to let people die). Do we know that all this money and processes (as described in the article) has led to better outcomes? Has the impact of the current methodology been objectively evaluated

You are not alone, Unity was my desktop until it was dropped by Canonical. I ended up moving to Windows after that as I did not like the replacement. The main thing I remember was that it was quite fast and worked well with Vmware which is

Sunscreen, as we know it, is barely 100 years old (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33583116/ ) and we have a lot of information up to that point. We can also deduce from many sources that humanity did not just &quot
