He should be angry at Republicans for all their posturing and holding the economy hostage just to try to push their wildly unpopular political agendas, not at the organization calling them out for how wildly mismanaged their financial rules

I was visiting Seattle (from Vancouver) a few years ago, and they didn't want me to use my chip card as a chip card because if they did then I couldn't tip. What the heck is that all about? Also, we're still hearing stories

There's no need to wait for flying skateboards, you can buy a regular skateboard at any shop around town and crash and get killed by using it. (Said in jest by someone who recently turned 41 and hurt his back playing video games last y

According to the paper, this material stops superconducting at about 150mA per cm^2 of diameter, meaning that a 1cm-thick cable made of this material could conduct up to 150mA before the current is too much and it stops superconducting. If

The companies who actually use these cookies don't want that, because everyone would just turn everything off forever. It would probably just kill off tons of analytics companies overnight. (I wouldn't lament the loss of invasive

I'm in Canada and I get the cookie popups all the time as well. I'm glad for the opportunity to explicitly reject cookies, but it's still irritating.

Website analytics can be incredibly useful for designers and developers; giving those up would be a huge hit to a lot of companies, large and small, so it's understandable that they're not going to do so. Random example from more

I recently started using Artifact on iOS as a news aggregator, and... wow. It uses a standard customized WebView and not a SafariViewController or whatever, meaning that it doesn't support any of the system-wide content blockers that I

> regulating demand-side is not a solution I think it's more accurate to say that consumer-side regulation is not a solution. I'm willing to bet there are tons of industries out there that can significantly reduce their energy

And a lot less population density. People in low-lying areas aren't going to be able to move to higher ground, because someone else already owns that ground.

Sure, but the system continues to make extremely optimistic (and unrealistic) estimates about your range until you hit 50% battery, at which point it tries to be more realistic so that it doesn't strand you in the middle of nowhere. It

Musk is operating Twitter in a "divine right of kings" sort of way. He's been chosen by (who? God? investors? being rich?) to run things, and therefore whatever it is he does is obviously the correct choice and it's here

bcachefs supports a lot of features that would be useful for even home user desktop systems. For example, the filesystem supports snapshots. This would let you do something like have apt (in Ubuntu) create an automatic snapshot of the files

It sounds like one of the biggest issues with merging bcachefs is that the patch is huge and touches systems outside of bcachefs. I suspect if they had taken those external patches and submitted them separately they could have had increment

It's because none of these claims are valid or reputable. Anti-vaxxers are making up these claims out of whole cloth, and if people spend any reasonable amount of time debunking it, then the anti-vaxxers will fall back on the same play

It's worth noting that hard-drive based MP3 players did exist at the time, but they had several drawbacks that Apple found solutions for. First, they used physically larger 2.5" hard drives, making them larger and heavier. The sma

It's worth noting that, while LVM can support snapshots for XFS (or any other filesystem, really), the performance penalty is almost entirely unacceptable (one benchmark[0] shows an up to 60% drop in write throughput), so ideally your

I'm not sure I see it the same way. Maintaining open-source software requires time. There is an opportunity cost, and people (unfortunately) need to feed their families, pay their rent, and so on. The problem here is that the developer
