And rare earth minerals. And God help you if you're trying to use it to replace a steady source of energy with them, because the battery requirements go parabolic. Though, we are seeing some innovation in the battery space that replace

OSHA was established in 1970. It didn't exist prior, and it took some time for rules to get more stringent, and for the risks and liabilities it represented to be realized as additional costs.

Curious if it's this black and white. Normally, younger people are advised to have portfolios that tend riskier, as they have more time to make up for downturns in the markets, which (it is at least taken for granted) otherwise are on

Especially with their censorship campaigns underway. How many got demonetized or blocked for suggesting COVID may have been a lab leak, right on up until Jon Stewart said the same thing on Colbert's show? How many had the same situat

Probably the bait and switch. Fire up an ad free platform, drum up a viewer and creator base to undermine competitor sites (remember Vimeo?), and once they're all irrelevant or outright gone, start pulling this crap? Yea, people will

Well, they are entitled to code the page how they'd like, provided it's not anything that meets criminal standards for malware. And if they do start putting ads in video streams then I will likely be writing them off for dead just

They were illegal then too. Just not as well enforced. Paying for a VPN is where a lot of people dropped off, and while streaming pirate sites are a thing, most people don't realize that search engines that aren't in the US are

Using bypass-paywalls works so far if you add it to the custom list, and as a bonus, you end up getting in less of an echo chamber because it displays as if you've never logged in. There's also a set up for ublock origin that wor

Curious if hosts file based blocking, or a PiHole, would trigger their block as well.

Not sure if it's AdNauseam or BypassPaywalls (which does prevent you from seeing your logged in algorithmic recommendations), but I'm not getting ads or bothered anymore. I was, using Brave, with or without uBlock Origin turned on

I assume you mean a bar mostly consisting of dairy and sugar with a bit of chocolate -- making a meal out of actual high quality dark chocolate adds up, but can hardly be considered junk food. <3 my 90% dark Lindt chocolate bars -- betw

re-Xeet. Pronounced SH-eet. Like, "I go on X and post Sheets. You can call me a sheet poster" It all starts making more sense in that context. And if it's not, say it out loud a few times.

I certainly hope so -- because it's getting old to have to post the link AND copy the headline in manually. Though I got used to it posting RT links anyway, as they already weren't doing link previews for those.

Better off is relative I guess is the point I'd raise here. Are most peoples lives easier, with overall life expectancy up, and general health as well? Yes. Are we closer to the possibility of an overnight event that could lead to th

I think the point at which it gets talked about as a conspiracy theory is when a larger agenda and motive are ascribed to those policy goals. Much like it wasn't a conspiracy to invade Iraq, but if it was done with the purpose of enri

That keyboard you type on. It's been associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Same with the mouse. And monitors have been known to cause vision issues if you're not careful.

I'd be more concerned at any point if kids stopped taking things to extremes and missing out on the nuances of things. It's what kids do. It's more concerning when in their mid twenties, early 30s, they don't grow up.

It seems this post is 6 months early, or late. That said, once upon a time, Google did things well. And every now and again they accidentally make a good product, get everyone using it, and then announce that you have a few weeks to rapidly

You might be surprised how many Chinese takeout places will happily part with some steamed broccoli and brown rice for a reasonable price. Sure, it's not on the menu, and most of what is may well be covered in sugary sauces, but at le

PowerQuery and the built in data model do a lot to make Excel better at handling joins in a sane fashion, but are relatively recent features that some are still realizing are there in the first place, particularly for the Office365/Mac

The metrics as they are make sense. What perhaps should be fought over is whether or not employees should more commonly have an equity stake in the operation of the company, such that those overall gains do get realized by those doing the

The thing to remember, though, is that Nixon did this while dealing with the fact that the Eurodollar system had already been pumping up the money supply; his move was mostly just to avoid handing out all the gold which was already minimal

A big difference, though, is that since the 70's, rather than using our discoveries, out of fear of the consequences. The extent to which we harness energy is a strong proxy for overall productivity, and ever since nuclear got largely

Gamma is prone to causing confusion, because Gamma is one of the metrics used to measure options (basically, it's the rate of acceleration of change in a price of an option relative to the change in price in the underlying security).

And you've hit the nail on the head with that last sentence. Want a modicum of privacy? Set up a trust. The trust's ownership will be out there, but your involvement will not. You'll probably still get all the junk mail thoug
