But sometimes it's saved elsewhere. Home office often increases energy usage in data centers through chat software, video conferencing etc. But it saves much more in energy otherwise wasted for commute. Likewise, other computations in

But even saving up to 40,000 lives for 1% increase in electricity demand sounds like a good deal?

They're probably already in talks with one of the big guys to take them over.. They still got until Sunday to get regulatory approval and announce it so that they get liquidity on Monday.

Will only drive the stock price down so that another bank will buy them up. :Not sure if that's what he's aiming for.

In the end they're not, because if there isn't outright fraud, some other bank will just buy them. If Silicon Valley bank is in trouble, I'm sure one of the bigger ones would want to buy them. Their customer base is worth som

To be fair, they were the best example of backwards compatability for decades. They broke some of that with Windows 11 spec requirements, but it's still one of the things Microsoft is quite good at.

Not if it breaks old web pages out there. It's nice that we can still browse websites that haven't been updated for a decade or more.

There's nothing wrong with companies driving industry standards. That's how it works in other industries as well. As long as they're not there to purely benefit Google or implemented in a way that other browsers cannot replic

I don't think there's a hidden deal between dang and the FT to manipulate rankings. Or isn't that what you were referring to?

Was every Meta employee able to download them or why did so many people have access?

Are they really? As far as I know, really big power projects (like nuclear plants) usually need government funding or guarantees to get built. Renewables get built by pension funds, but they pay off after 7-10 years in most cases.

Only for long distances. Walking and cycling makes much more sense within high density areas. Metros are mostly to move between areas.

Even a bike lane with a lot of traffic often seems empty because bikes use up so little space. So even if there are a lot of bikes, the car lanes will look much busier than the bike lane.

I guess in many cases it makes sense. If the IRS messes up your tax return, you should sue the IRS and not the clerk that created it. For many government officials it's important to be protected by their organization. Police officers j

I guess in this case I'd kind of agree? I fully believe police officers should know the law and act within it. But it's certainly not their job to judge if a law might be unconstitutional. That's what courts are for. And if a

Some server will still be idle and you'll pay for it. Dedicated hardware utilized close to 100% will be massively cheaper than IaaS.

Exactly, not an index but a large database with raw html of pages. Not trivial with modern SPAs but still doable. Storage and compute cost is probably the biggest cost factor.

The website linked in the footer is parked, it's surprising the yaml domain is still up. Makes me a bit nostalgic, haven't seen a G+ profile linked on a website in a long time.

Kagi, DDG and Ecosia should get together to build a crawler that provides an index open to all search engines. They could price it at cost (maybe even as a non-profit). It would only provide raw data so each search engine can still add valu

It always confused me that DDG didn't invest more in their crawler. Especially as they are a well known name, establishing a crawler that website owners don't block should be easier for them than for most. But it seems they still

And if they're on top of each other, wouldn't they create issues with the touch screen? They would certainly move the screen a bit.

Not unlikely the employees booking these ads weren't even aware of the rebranding at that time. Or weren't allowed to tell third parties and so pretended nothing would change.

As a website owner, pretty much all traffic I see from Tor is malicious. I also block it outright now, it decreased bad traffic by a lot. So I can understand the decision of CF here. The problem is not Cloudflare or Tor, it's the peopl

In fact you can just use nginx. Cloudflare itself used it for a long time (although heavily modified) and nginx will give you most of the features Cloudflare had until 1-2 years ago. You'd still need the network though.

Honestly, I don't think the code I write is so special that no one should ever see it. The whole product might be worth protecting, that's why the codebase isn't public. But the individual files/functions are not special

As long as it's part of the agreement, they would need to at least notify you if they're planning to change that.

Certainly for SV salaries. But $19/month per developer in addition to already existing cost can make a difference for regions with lower salaries.

Still sounds pretty friendly to me. Obviously once you modify the code Github cannot be liable anymore for the lines edited. Otherwise you could push all kinds of infringement on them just because Copilot was active. Reasonable development

Realistically, pretty much no one would turn it on. So if it's off by default you can as well not implement it at all.

In that case the product should still have maintainers. Even if only part-time, no software project should be completely unsupervised.
