If you want to boycott the US, I would say it's better to use Bluesky and make it a strong and viable competitor to X.

But then there will be no comments to summarize.

Someone commented somewhere above that deepseek avoided using CUDA. So it means you can achieve very good results without Nvidia's CUDA. "They skipped CUDA and instead used PTX which is a lower level instruction set"

Please, not too many sensors. Long battery life and small size and low weight is more important. All the other smartphones and fitness watches have these sensors so get one of those instead. Maybe a HW interface to attach other sensor modul

But what is conversion cost and the transaction cost to convert USD to USDC and then back?

It's of course not the criminal use of crypto that has caused the price to increase so much lately, but the use of it for criminal activity is one of its main real use cases (apart from speculation which is not a real use case).

Why did you use Western Union instead of Wise or some other lower cost alternative?

It's not "all the time", but any time they want. You have to declare goods all the time though (if above limit) as there are limits in place for meat, alcohol etc.

In theory it all sounds nice, but in reality I have never seen any website or product adhere to what you (or GDPR) states. If you answer yes in a popup by fat-fingering, stress, mixup whatever you are screwed. The popup typically comes up w

I guess GDPR is a good idea, but in practice it has limited value. I suppose all that is needed is that the user accepts (consents) by answering yes to a popup question. It can be asked over and over. If you answer yes by accident at some p

It must be quite common sense to actively contact the people you know were friends or family to your parents. Not necessarily by phone unless you also know them well, but by email or text or whatever contact details your parents have in the

Not OP, but Atmel AVR or TI's MSP430 are good choices if you need low power. The nRF24L01+ from Nordic Semiconductor is a good RF alternative for low power and long distance.

How much energy is that hot water tap wasting by keeping some tank with water hot throughout the day (and maybe night) for just a few cups of tea/coffee?

In Switzerland you still have to vote for politicians who take decisions on their own. It is only on some specific questions where the population can vote. So it means you have to keep track of more, both the politicians you vote for and so

They wave with the "antisemitic" flag and no-one dares to object in fear of being called antisemitic. Just see the mayor of Amsterdam.

If they are willing to pay for this kind of eye surgery out of pocket, then I suppose it is not too much asked that they pay a treatment for glaucoma, cataract or macular degeneration out of pocket.

I agree with your example and that this functionality sucks. However it cannot be an engineering issue as it must be technically very easy to implement in a better way. It must be a product/UX/marketing kind of decision behind it

But it was Trump demanding lower interest rates while he was president and which in turn created the high inflation we have today.

I hope you will enjoy your flight to another state the next time you are sick and need surgery.

At least the source would be correct so 50% less chance of cheating i.e. the cheating did at least not occur while producing the vote.

Imagine you are a baker in the end of 1930's Germany. You deliver bread every day to a synagogue. Imagine cell phones and apps existed. The Nazi government could now with little effort see you went to a synagogue everyday for the last

But in terms of compute/watt those 10 year old data centers are going to suck and that is what counts for a data center.

So if someone steals a box of iphones, adds a few grams of explosives inside each phone, and then resells them or gives them away, then Apple is at fault?

Is it that ecologically damaging? Maybe in the old times when silicon wafers where produced in Silicon Valley and when no-one thought or cared much about the environment. But today, I would assume the damaging effects of semiconductor manuf

I doubt that the descendants will be that interested to be honest. It's not like we today pour over the images that exist of our parents and grandparents. Having thousands upon thousands of images to look at does not make it better. It

Often as in much more than 50% of the time for fortune 500 companies. If the CEO and the Chairman of the Board is the same person then there is sort of a conflict of interest. The Board is there to oversee the work of the CEO. The board is

by flakeoil 2y ago
In the US the CEO is often also the chairman of the board so they are accountable to themselves. Which is kind of weird and illegal in many countries, but in the US it is almost the norm.

Correct. And also the non-solar panel material. For example the aluminium support they use between the roof and the solar panels costs the same or more than the actual solar panels. When I asked for an offer two years ago the price of the s
