That's great. Yeah, once the on-battery time is slightly greater than one workday requires, increasing it further stops being interesting. For battery longevity, in general I would charge to 90% and then use it until 20%, then recharge

Isn't this rather a security theater for the more naive prospective buyers? Even if the device is verified to comply with high-level schematics, it still may not comply on the micro-level. There is the problem with all modem chips be

Btw, to prevent abovementioned government/other powerful groups intrusions into our minds, I recommend to stop consuming MSM. That's the most powerful tool of intrusion/control they have.

Electronic voting is much easier to subvert than boring old paper-tech voting. It should be rejected for important elections.

What does this mean? A fragment of a radio wave is still a radio wave and can carry information irrespective of whether reed solomon or other encoding is used, no?

> If this merger doesn't happen China is going to win the chip race. Wut? How is NVIDIA keeping new ARM designs from competitors like Intel, AMD and phone manufacturers helping to win the "chip race"?

Wow, the concept of privately owned nuclear weapons supplier is really something insane. And it is real. Wow.

Caring only about laws and not about reputation of being a good ecosystem partner to others is a recipe for others to look elsewhere. NVIDIA has a really bad rep due to its arrogant behaviour towards customers and other companies (Linux pro

It does not need to be. Softbank owning ARM is the status quo, the devil we know, and they have a track record of not running ARM availability/quality into the ground. They don't seem to have motivation to do so. Also, they are in

You can set it up more easily in Europe, getting a credit card is not as easy here.

Isn't it completely rational from the lender standpoint? First they make sure you will be profitable for them (involve other people who can be milked), then they offer you money and hope you can't pay back on time.

You should be comfortable with carrying and using a document certifying a test result, but not with a document proving vaccination. The first is reasonable to due to its obvious utility in infection control, the second is not; it is now be

OK point taken. But predicting things 80 years into future is extremely difficult. It is by no means certain we will get there in under 80 years.

When officials all push the same narrative and ignore available relevant scientific knowledge that contradicts this narrative, that's how we know they became untrustworthy actors similar to politicians even if they were at some point c

Vaccine-induced or natural immunity isn't just about antibodies. Immune system gets to remember the spike protein (vaccine) and other characteristics of the virus (natural immunity) so even if antibodies go down, the body remembers and

> LVM? Managing it sucks and the performance is bad (there's plenty of information on this). Can you give some recent references to that claim? With thin LVM (introduced in rhel6-rhel7), performance is supposed to be OK.

More opportunities - yes, more risk - not necessarily. Interested people already know how to build a nuclear bomb, there is very little mystery there, not much need to steal designs. The greatest risk here is someone stealing enriched fuel,

This was going well until point 6. Fusion isn't anywhere near practical in 2021, it requires lots of investment and research to do even a first prototype. And it is a high tech marvel that won't be cheap to operate. So the funding

> have a significant nuclear weapons proliferation risk. Why. What risk of proliferation is there in France, UK or U.S.? These states already have nuclear weapons.

That may be partly true. But we simply never managed to build enough of them fast enough to know if economy of scale could be reached. I think even if so, cost of building the structures and maintaining them won't be negligible and wil

Perfectly working technology can make society more like a soulless machine, less like a healthy living organism. It trivializes and fixates execution of important processes which should rather have the possibility to be evolved. For example

It won't be cheap, for the exact same reason nuclear energy isn't cheap. Once upon a time, people thought nuclear fission energy would bring "power too cheap to meter". They did not realize all the associated costs. If f

We don't really need to solve these "problems". It's a low-activity waste, most of it can and will be stored in special warehouses. Benefits are immense, downside is manageable. There was never a major problem caused by

Interesting observation. Maybe it's a natural evolution of society, that in part it resembles evolution of a person - it starts out young, full of ideals and energy, trusting the people and institutions around them. Then it gets older,

Concerned parents are part of that society, so you are really saying they should have a say as well.
