Isn't that already an issue? I've definitely needed specific versions of excel to open particular workbooks before.

Yeah. Absolute ton of web interfaces in tech, to manage servers or VMs or storage arrays relied on flash interfaces. The transition off that was painful.

There are places in NZ (Nelson for example) that semi-formalize this as the 'sunshine dividend' making up the balance of payment compared to other towns or cities. i.e suggesting because a place has nice weather that you should be

'Principal' in a lot of NZ companies just replaced the term 'Team Lead' and generally just means the most 'senior' person in the team. Sometimes it's used as a way to justify a raise. The scale of differen

Did you mean 'support of insurgency' in eastern Ukraine?

I've got a mate trying to apply to jobs in the construction sector and it's still a godawful HR mess. A cousin struggling with architecture firm jobs. Even emergency services roles are like this. This isn't a problem of the t

Working at a startup is not an aspiration for most. Long hours and low pay for a lotto ticket's chance at a windfall is attractive to a very niche crowd. The vast, vast majority of jobs have godawful applications and hiring process for

Still helpful. Now people know this synthesis process and result doesn't have this desired property and the 900 other groups working on this don't need to repeat it.

This doesn't really account for fraud or abuse. Plenty of profitable companies whose product is a scam, or has other factors that make it successful. Market success isn't the same thing as validity.

If it's a room temperature superconductor there's probably 10% US GDP available annually to figure out the manufacturing considerations.

I would say any results that are already out are from people speedrunning production; give it another six or so days and there will be a ton of labs that have managed to produce various, better samples and will have performed decent experim

Maybe regular americans . Africans, Europeans, Asians, Pacific peoples and Antipodeans however... The tech we buy is often USD-denominated and exchange risk is something we all deal with constantly for basic purchases, in business and pers

Being in rural New Zealand; I'd be amazed if we had the same product options for decaf.

Stable Diffusion isn't a familiar term outside a very niche audience. Probably over 50% of the earth's population is familiar with checking 'USD' exchange rates.

I heard interviews with Obama white house staff who mentioned that they had to disclose weed use in their clearance forms but that it didn't prevent them from getting a position.

Decaf is pretty good these days; When I don't feel like ditching the actual cups of liquid I swap over. It's certainly what I reach for in the afternoon if I want another coffee for whatever reason. Might be another option if you

Off by Fibonacci, rather than off by 1, I guess.

I knew a pair of brothers with no sense of smell. Probably genetic for them.

I'm working with monitoring systems and the things I keep hearing is that people rely on having a 'number' but when pressed admit that the number isn't reliable. Data doesn't always help! It can lead to assumptions,

When I went looking into this feature I saw they're developing a negative permissions list for addons, so you can create exceptions for i.e ublock or dark reader or whatever for specific websites, disallowing them to access your data o

Yeah, seemed like a lot of chatter from people onboarding Mastodon was 'how does this work' or 'how do I use it to build and find community or news' or 'why this is better than other options'. That seemed to fa

The 25 years of seeking better outcomes for netizens, using their small influence to help people to have a better experience with the internet. If you always compare things to your version of utopia you'll be very disappointed. I appre

This appears to have been implemented by the security team, with the bugzilla issue originally made private / Mozilla staff only a month ago. Mozilla has earned some trust here, I think. I'll be interested to see why this was done

I've heard most of the discussion on the platform is 'meta' discussion about bluesky itself, rather than anything interesting.

Gmail also had invites to start, back in the day, and that's the de facto email service now. But that had a compelling day-1 offering that was clearly better - massive free storage allocation. Bluesky doesn't have a compelling rea

Mastodon already has an instance that a lot of journalists have joined - journa.host. It's free and open to the world and they can just join any other server too if desirable. I'm still looking for major outlets to set up their ow

It'd handle it fine, considering that's still an option. The account hosting side of things is a little trickier but it's doable. https://mozilla-services.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howtos/run...
