Okay sorry I used the wrong term, not flyover states but western US states. Tucson seems to be affected by precisely this drought problem.

Yes there will be a market for human artists as much as there is a market for horses to pull things. There are still jobs for horses now, but their number is way lower than just 150 years ago. Not great news if you are a horse (or a human w

Yes! In fact, you can rotate i (or 1) by any angle around the origin and obtain a so-called "root of unity". If the angle was rational, you can now apply this rotation multiple times to itself and eventually you'll obtain 1 o

WebP was only developed by Google or a company Google ended up buying. Yes, the standard is freely available, but there was no collaboration, no open process of asking people's input, etc.

If one wants to speculate, timing wise, this correlates with the recent release of iOS 16 (September 2022) and macOS 13 (October 2022), which have added AVIF support to Safari. That event in turn means that now most browsers support AVIF.

People even before they come out as transgender or realize what they are tend to cluster together due to personality similarities. So you have friend groups where the transgender quotient is really high, whether they know it yet or not. Onc

The copyright directive could have been way way worse. A lot has changed due to public push back. Not enough, but there has definitely been an impact.

The difference is a) the FTC was way more lax in enforcing anti-monopoly laws than back in the day, b) Microsoft was a monopolist, c) downloading software from the internet hasn't been as much of a thing back then, so obtaining interne

Depends on the type of proxy you are using, but yes, I should have pointed that out that many proxies do not access encrypted contents. Doesn't change the fact that such traffic is way more dangerous if the tokens are in the clear. For

You mean HTTPS access tokens that are sent in the clear and accessible to any proxy server in the middle? They are a good replacement of password based auth, and yes they are new. But that doesn't mean they are better than ssh keys. Ea

There is some server side verification, mostly around checking that the dependencies all exist, the file isn't too large, etc. But 99% of the testing happens on the client. Eg: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.i

Yeah, note that a lot of those renewables won't be built in Germany but outside of it, as there is simply no capacity for this in Germany. While Germany is a net exporter for electricity, it does import a large chunk of its total energ

Yeah the plan was to buy methane gas from Russia instead. Still a non renewable source, but the gas would have caused less CO2 emissions and less pollution (gas causes less CO2 per kilowatt hour). Of course, the war and the bombings of Nord

I don't think Google would prevent Apple from publishing an app on the play store. There are already many messengers on it.

Yeah the SE is probably the fastest iphone model there is because the CPU is top notch while the screen resolution is smaller, so rendering is less complex computationally.

There is a cable project currently ongoing for the east coast of the USA, called Confluence-1, to be finished in 2023. I wonder what their budget for that cable is. https://confluencenetworks.net/

by est31 4y ago
It is a highly automated process. It is also not as highly regulated as other construction projects, as the cable won't kill anybody. There are also no vested interests that want internet connectivity to remain bad in Africa.
