Fine, let them destroy their brand altight; but "landfilling" perfectly good hardware for no other reason other than "we can't be bothered" should be made illegal and severely punished. This is the mindset that brou

that's why you don't ventilate by opening windows wide open but with purpose built fans with a heat recovery device.

How about calling it Copyrent? Isn't iut more descriptive of what it actually is, while "right" makes it more sympathetic to the liberties and freedoms they're actually reigning in.

No no, it does. Apple has bought trackpad company — was it FingerWorks? — that developed special HIDs for medical purposes. These things are a combination of pickup and signal processing, therefore hw and sw, that provides many extra layers

Gg, Tg? Is that Giga-gram and Tera-gram? Why not kg, the SI standard unit for mass?

I'm starting to wear a helmet in Amsterdam, too many fatbikers chillin' around at 30 km/h on the bike lane for my taste.

Heh, I was once walked through a live “code review” where all my code that used Java steam maps were replaced by this one dude with for loops in private methods. What a dress-down… pff, the project was canned a few months after I left. But

Wouldn’t that make them easy prey of “spam SEO”. However, given the framework isn’t it still possible to guess the models?

A point that is a spin on the data. In the 60s they also used to cover homes in asbestos and lead, do we need to do that again? Also flying airplanes was much cheaper, and safety systems were much more crude; should we go back to LOS naviga

That’s backwards: it actually means that protecting against nuclear hazards is astronomically expensive, that nukes are borderline unmanageable in the long term

It's also a kind of artisanal soap, not surprisingly from Aleppo and therefore named after that. It's all over the internet, are they going to ban all those hipster, new-agey cottage industry websites? Stupid computer... stupid

If I ever did that, it'd be J2 or some training. YouTube and Reddit have vampired way to much time from my life already.

No mean to insult, but this is a bit of an “in the spectrum” reply. I’m not claiming guillotines are being erected on public squares, of course it’s not the case. On the other hand, the aggressive nitpick and overzealous strawmanning of any

that'd be cool but quite improbable until exploits like RowHammer, Meltdown and Spectre can be reliably ruled out.

Can you elaborate? I’m suspecting you mean “If You're Not Part of the Solution, You're Part of the Problem” which is unfortunately the level of narrow minded zealotry that’s so damaging

well if there's no way to spin anything without getting entagled in some sort of intersectional original sin, then it's devolved in Jacobin Terreur.

uh-uh-uh-uh, wait a minute, please contain your prejudice. First off, you're talking of a very narrow and US-centric definition of "leftist". Second, it's tiresome to hear this constant whining about "leftists"

You don’t need fancy 3D printers. I remember watching a documentary about a man building a seed bank and reforesting a huge swath of land somewhere in Africa. At first he was ridiculed, fought against but eventually he succeeded. Very simp

Well, reforestation of the Australian Outback would be such an awesome geo-engineering monument! Though I wonder about the ethical implications of the destruction of the current desert ecosystem

Hmm, not so sure about that. You don't need to lose your health while inventing and riding the waves of progress. I tend to blame myopic capitalistic class, more interested in punishing trade unions, looking for '800s production o

My take is: Starlink just reminded Pentagon they’re a mostly civilian operator, and they’re not ready to defend from direct cyber warfare, it without investment and someone to pay for that. Which is reasonable, IMHO

Ah, of course. But I dis find it a bit regretful, the project sounded cool and there was some Kafka involved at a time that it wasn’t as hyped/established as it is today. But no, it wasn’t worth such a crazy commute, just to have bad c
