Only if you want to burn more energy. If you're going for shortest time, you want the steady pace.

How so? At no point did the person you replied to mention energy usage in any form.

The other thing we lost is that future companies will think again before making their code public. It's already such an incredibly rare thing in the wild, but now companies and their lawyers will see that Winamp was exposed to potentia

Agreed. The fact that multiple companies are springing up with the main selling point being "help you cancel subscriptions you thought you already cancelled" should be a wake up call to the legislature that this problem has gotten

I don't understand why you're coming about this problem from a "100% nuclear" situation. That's not the case for the world, and likely never will be the case. But heck, let's assume all you've got to work

How is overbuilding going to help when the source of the power itself is intermittent? The sun regularly sets and the wind has this unfortunate habit of not blowing. Or, oddly enough, blowing too much. If we hope to go 100% renewable, stora

It's not just people trying to use telescopes to do science, it's also people like me trying to do astrophotography. Time on a LEO telescope, while cool, would not help my photography.

It might just be they've got enough money to make them a juicy enough target to go after for damages. I can't imagine it took the lawyers this long to come up with something to sue them over, and the game didn't exactly fly

Same could be said for the sshd service crashing. And yeah, I suppose you could say it's got a longer track record, but I've yet to have tailscale crash on me in a few years.

I used to use lots of port knocking setups to hide my ssh port. That was, until I discovered Tailscale's SSH setup. Now my SSH is run over wireguard which is very stealthy.

Isn't that a bit like saying the solar car cross-country races show that solar-powered cars can work? In both cases the 'payload' and vehicles are stripped to the barest essentials. Solar sails with any significant mass attac

There are plenty of people who do follow it correctly, and have done so in the past. I've been on some of those projects, and I've even ran some (although I'll admit I'm biased there; the devs might tell another story).

There's been enough leaks from DMVs, credit bureaus, credit cards, and a myriad of businesses that require an SSN for verification checks by now that if every SSN wasn't already in the hands of attackers I would be surprised.

Sure, but I've also never worked on any software directly responsible for the lives of human beings (as far as I know, anyway). I would like to think I'd operate a little differently if I were.

Sorry, I should have worded my comment better. It was not to detract from the need for new and renewable sources of power, but rather surprise at how little power you get from each well, and the cost of drilling each of them.

That is an excellent comparison. And with the assumption that geothermal wells can last longer (the wells for my geothermal HVAC system were rated 50+ years, although I presume my wells and the types of wells needed for a 400MW plant are fa

by fooqux 2y ago
Drilling 125 wells for 400MW of power seems like a pretty poor return. Although it's hard to tell as the article doesn't go into much detail around the depth of those wells.

The FCC ruled over land-line communication companies and systems and everyone seemed fine with that. Well, not Bell; I imagine they were displeased with it. Arguably, Internet service is even more important than the old land-lines were. And

True, and it should also be pointed out that after finally getting connected to a human, they fared no better than the bot. Probably because they were both droids reading from a script, but alas.
