Yeah, it's a major issue (to some at least). Lots of fly by night servers, stood up by (probably well meaning) people that have no idea if how hard it is to run and administer a server like that. Point in fact the "Mastodon.techno

I've looked hard at the Activity Pub protocol, as well as Mastodon in the last week, and this new protocol SUPPOSEDLY has a number of advantages. 1) you can move your identity from the gitgo. Yeah, sure, AP allegedly allows this, but y

I call complete and utter BS. This is in no way different than disabling a word procesors autocorrect when a writer uses the term gender in their novel. The programmer should be able to use whatever the hell terms they want to use in their

I'd argue there is one, and it's been around a surprisingly long time: Internet Printing Protocol. <insert XKCD reference here> I've had to dig into this a fair bit at work, and it's rather amazing. Certainly not p

Too many get caught up in the "USB-C" connector, and forget about the modes and power delivery. That said, AFAICT the May 2022 revision states (pg 6): "the devices should incorporate the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard (

Well, it depends on what you call "Privacy". See, the Europeans (as a whole) take a completely different attitude towards Government and Private Organizations than Americans do. To many Americans, the Government is the big, bad

What a load of BS. The predominant form of social organization is from a majority status. The people who voted in that government are the ones who direct the government resources, and are determining what it's polices are towards the

BEV Replacement costs: A 2020 Greencars report stated that a battery (66 kWh) for the Chevrolet Bolt battery costs roughly $16K USD. Similarly, GreenCars states that a Chevy Volt (16 kWh) costs roughly $4000. BMW i3: 22kwH, 8 year warranty,

This might be one to watch: Massive green hydrogen hub in Utah wins $504M federal loan guarantee (*) Course this could end up like Concentrating Solar Power plants and end up on the wrong side of the cost-benefit equation, but I'd argu

That's YOUR experience, but that certainly doesn't translate over to an appt dweller who doesn't have their own garage to charge their BEV with. You better believe they WILL sit for a dang good bit of time waiting for their

EV Batteries can be recycled, but finding a place that WILL is an entirely different proposition. Granted California just recently started (*), but that doesn't do a hell of a lot of good to someone in Michigan, Missouri or New Mexic

Yea, you see this all over. For example: in the US, you hear about how Nurses are in high demand. What they don't tell you is that hospitals and other for-care facilities (a great many of which are for-profit companies) keep their nurs

I don't know what Internet hole you found yourself, but a simple Google search shows the exact opposite. A 2020 Business Insider article states "Costco is well-regarded in the retail industry for its high pay and desirable benefit

Bing may be that good for some, but every time I use it it stinks and I end up back on Google. Same for DDG. Then again, my queries tend to be pretty specific and are probably not a typical use case.

A few come to mind: Mehrabian (1981), Fromkin and Rodman (1983), Barnum and Wolniansky (1989), Pease and Pease (2004). In regards to the face specifically take a look at Atkinson (2002), Garau, Slater and Bee (2001). The impact of Hand and

I don't care one way or another is someone works remotely or in the office. What I do care about is effective communication between co-workers. Unfortunately though, for remote workers, there is an enormous elephant in the room; namely

I've not heard whether or not this factory had any shelter or not. If not, then IMO they should hang the owners in public and then get busy making sure nobody else has to suffer this lack of neglect. However, it's tough to have a

They are a monopoly and are being accused of being so because their mandatory policies forbid the merchants from selling that product anywhere else cheaper than Amazon. This means that if I buy the product from say Walmart or Target, then I

This. We used CentOS as dev environments, and RHEL as production. It gave us the best of both worlds; an unsupported but compatible and stable dev environment we could bring up and throw away as much as we wanted _Without_ licensing BS. And
