The original notepad was completely broken in the first place anyway. Can't handle large files, ctr+Z would cancel a large random number of previous actions, the search feature is case sensitive and barely useful, etc. What do you miss

Because the companies in control of that data won't let them have it for free, like what is happening in the article.

Let the market do. If good data is so critical to the success of AI, AI companies will pay for it. I don't know how someone can still entertain the idea that a bureaucrat, or worse, a politician, is remotely competent at designing an e

There is no problem that cannot be solved with creating a bureaucracy and paperwork!

For the academy awards, to its defense, it was competing against Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Four Weddings and a Funeral, or the Madness of King George. I can barely name one good movie a year these days, and certainly none that makes it to

Well you either remove all the bureaucracy around drug testing and approval and make it cheap to develop a new drug, or you prevent drug makers from making money if they are successful at developing a new molecule. But if you do both, all y

Even if you seize the workstation and obtain the password, the files are unlikely to be stored locally.

Most enterprises have fully encrypted workstations, when they don't use VM where the desktop is just a thin client that doesn't store any data. So there should be really nothing of interest in the office itself.

Electricity doesn't travel continents the way shipping containers do. So it's not like anyone wants to build a wind farm and wonders where in the world they are going to place it. Plus if you are a major single customer (eg datace

It's a double edge sword. If the Boss has decided that the country should do X, it's much harder to make him reverse course if it's a bad direction. Zero covid and return to good old communism are two recent examples. For all

The problem with environmentalists is that it is full of militants that aren't engineers and have very strong opinions that don't pass the most cursory smell test. I am all open to there being problems with re-using water used to

I apologize for not humbly submitting to the first comment on HN. If I gave the impression that you were not the ultimate authority on this topic, I certainly did not intend to do so. I should know better than to oppose common sense on a to

How is that different from the metal pipes through which drinking water goes through to reach your kitchen tap, some of which are over 100 years old if you live in the UK? The contact with metal shouldn't be the problem in itself. Legi

The water from the lake isn't drinking water either, it is contaminated with all sort of stuff including dead animals and animals excrements. But it doesn't mean it is not suitable for agriculture.

by cm2187 9mo ago
But you are talking about drinking water. I would be surprised if they even use that for cooling. But any non human consumption use of water (like agriculture) should happily use that water, shouldn't it?

But if it just went through some heat exchangers, it's not like if it was dirty? As far as I know, nuclear power plants return the water they consume to the rivers they extracted it from.

Stupid question: datacenters need water for cooling right? But they don't boil that water, ie it comes out of the datacenter just a little warmer? If that is the case does it matter to the city? The warmer water can still be used for a

Not sure about that. If you plot energy cost and % of wind power by country, it is highly correlated.

To add to the list: on iOS, if your music library is mp3s transfered on the phone with itunes, iOS randomizes the artwork of the mp3s, so a song will show a completely different artwork. Have experienced that for years, on multiple devices

It does. You can argue you bid a wrong amount by mistake. It's necessary because mistakes do happen, and it even happened to me to retract a mistake once (was bidding on two items simultaneously in two tabs and mixed them up). But it g

by cm2187 9mo ago
Or rather than not winning and not completing the sale, the ghost bidder retracts the bid and re-bids just under your max.
175.
by cm2187 9mo ago
But if that someone isn't rational it is better to not give him the time to react to your highest bid. Also some sellers seem to use some fake accounts to bid high on their own item, revealing your max bid, then cancel their bid, then

Auctions are 90% bad deals because you often end up with someone getting over excited and bidding more than the next buy me now price for the same product. But 10% of the time you get lucky, particularly if auctions end at odd time of the d

It may also be highly dependent on which direction you travel. When you travel east from the city, you get totally different demographics than when you travel west.

London, increasingly common. I’d say a third of the time when I take the tube. Combine that with people making loud calls, 100% of the time. But I find people imposing their music or tiktok videos more obnoxious than a builder discussing hi
