Selling to other people (cheaper store credit), selling subscriptions that can be bought with play store credit (youtube music, premium, etc.), and most notably you can donate it directly to a streamer on youtube, or a channel membership. M

I personally prefer approval voting over rank choiced voting. Simpler and gets most of the way there. Also, ranked choice voting is incompatible with the electoral college. As much as I despise the electoral college, a constitutional amendm

Just use cosmetic filtering on ublock to filter for certain words using has-text in [span, a, p] elements (div breaks some websites, thus doesn't work for hn comments). It helps remove a lot of noise on the web. Particularly on select

Unlikely that its problematic, brands/stores know that positioning/caging on shelves matter and negotiate accordingly. Eye level sells more than top/floor shelf.

The issue of dunkelflaute is measurable and you can approach it the same way that storms are rated as being 100,1000-year storms. Not that I wouldn't appreciate more nuclear.

True, I didn't realize how much panel costs have declined since then[0]. Also tax incentives for renewables have doubled as well (rightfully so)[1]. [0] https://www.woodmac.com/press-releases/chinas-solar-producti.

Not really, the over-cited LCOE of solar/wind does not account for the cost of (its increased need of) battery storage. As time of use does not align with the time of generation. Also, battery storage has its own ongoing costs with bat

I've thought about this type of thing, and the first step would be to do this in the browser kind of like ublock cosmetic filtering. Most sites don't apply alt-text to their images, so filtering by the html does not work for image

It "makes more sense" to use a tablet as a second display when you need it. You just have to set up a headless display and use moonlight/sunshine. But then again, I couldn't tell you how to set up a headless display in W

The graphic from the OIST in the link makes reference to both the reduced power needed and reduced capital costs, less mirrors & cheaper EUV light source. Also, less power -> less heat -> less cooling. I scoured for some other inf

You can get a loan to spread out payments, reducing operating costs would be similar to reducing those payments. It also impacts viability and resale in second hand markets.

Funnily enough, The Lion King is a property that has its own controversy of plagiarism of a different animation, Kimba The White Lion. But, I guess if Disney does it it's okay...

"Nissan invents" is a bit of a stretch. The article didn't mention that it was "developed with" a different company, Radi-Cool, which seems to be doing this for other products. https://apnews.com/art

"Instead, China appears to be stockpiling materials at a rapid pace—and at a time when commodities are expensive." 2nd paragraph in the article disagrees.

I wonder why an ISP in offending states hasn't yet taken the opportunity to offer a VPN as a package solution. It could be an easy value add for less tech literate users.

Isn't this an issue with the robots.txt? A clause in some ToS was never going to stop any web scraping.

I disagree about trams for local transit. A metro system is sufficient, the issue is the flat-rate pricing model of most public transit systems in the US. It prevents the casual short hop usage of public transit, needlessly subsidizing long

Very similar to payola, yet seemingly not regulated. Another toxic vertical integration by a company that operates as a platform (Ex: Amazon Basics/Amazon, Apple Music/App Store).

For context. Roberts, Alito, and Thomas; who are still on the court were dissenting opinions on the gay marriage decision. Seeming to favor "precedence" when it's convenient.

There is already precedent of careers in aviation having required retirement ages. In areas with high stakes, it is not unreasonable to have age limits.

I wonder how much of this is a selection bias of people already set on having a family choosing to settle in such a place. E.g. Tokyo population increases, Japan population decreases. Aside from the Czech example it doesn't seem like m

My understanding is that "window managing" tools like this are not possible due to how wayland handles information. Pro: More secure than x11, Con: I can't use wayland. Aside from investing a lot of time learning how to use a

I would like to point out that you can only attempt once if you "succeed". Attempts recount the same individuals suffering.
