They are blessed with all three of hydro, geothermal, and wind.

And this is an expected problem with renewables that can be engineered around. It's unlikely the whole world has a drought at once during a calm night, so developing ways to transmit power long distances will be important.

Yeah. Because they're 14 and don't have a credit card, or they don't have any money, or the price is completely unaffordable (looking at you, IDA) or they hate your software and wish your company would DIAF but are forced to

And I would definitely mark these emails as spam. When a company sends me emails I don't want, I mark them as spam. I don't care about the technical rules or if you tricked me into wherein. If it's unwanted non-transactional

The most important question is how to prevent the starving workers from banding together and attacking the dragon hoards of food and other wealth. I think the plan is automated drones with machine guns, and mass surveillance from Flock and

I think hard drugs being legal would greatly increase the amount of responsible consumption. Methamphetamine used to be purchaseable from any pharmacy over the counter in the US, and there was not a meth crisis at that time. Now there is.

This is still routinely done to avoid ethanol taxes. It's called "denatured alcohol". Ethanol that has been poisoned is not considered drinkable alcohol, so not subject to the taxes on drinkable alcohol.

IIRC TCP/IP through localhost actually benchmarked faster than Unix sockets because it was optimized harder. Might've been fixed now. Unix sockets gives you the advantage of authentication based on the user ID of who's connec

Yes it is. It plainly meets all the criteria in the definition iff AGPL meets them too.

Or SSPL, which extends AGPL with even more sharing requirements.

Have we just forgotten that there is more to computing than LLMs? Most big planes can land themselves now - in calm weather, at least. It's done regularly when fog is worse than a certain point, because the necessary radio signals pass

It's not - it's much simpler. Drivers move in a 2D plane densely populated with cars and things that are not cars. Planes sparsely populate the sky by themselves. (There are birds too, but not that high up, and they're largel

That won't work since they'll still receive their bribes. Except for the ones who don't take bribes - they'll be punished for not taking bribes. Be careful what incentives you set up. Now, if the rule was for them to hav

I think they meant a CA that acted like Microsoft would be distrusted. Not a CA that acted like WireGuard would be distrusted.

Copyright infringement is triggered by the act of copying, not by having the same bytes.
76.
by direwolf20 6mo ago
And that's not an infringement. Actual copying is the infringement, not having the same code. The most likely way to have the same code is by copying, but it's not the only way.

Because the law doesn't say it can. It's that simple.

A "large scale decorative work" is the strangest euphemism for a dormant volcano I've ever heard.

Putting employees first is socialism. Putting owners first is capitalism.

It's not really distributed. It's a centralised service that pulls some parts of 0.01% of user profiles from their own servers.

Microsoft drove a truck through a school yard at 150mph. It was not a deliberate attack, it was just the fastest route and their map says there's a highway there. Is it malice? A certain level of recklessness is automatically malice.

Malicious people are quite good at feigning incompetence.

Games, voice/video chat (especially open source ones), stuff like Tailscale, stuff like Magic Wormhole, ... stuff like Dropbox. Is there anything you do on a computer that involves communicating with another user? That's not jus
