I may be wrong, but I believe the british experience with biofuels is that although you want to believe its surplus byproduct, the cheapest source is often grown to be fuel for a biofuel generator. It's like soy/corn for ethanol,

Look I get it, I deserve an "ok boomer" but they have got at BEST cycle protection, certainly not a full face helmet, rarely shoes even. It's a disaster waiting to happen. There were 14 deaths in Queensland in 2025 for this c

We're plagued by these, and by souped up electric trail bikes. Kids far too young to die or get quadriplegia, blasting around in traffic. Usually with no sense of time and place. By law they are meant to be 25kph speed capped and requi

The film is by Peter Weir, who is capable of being quite highbrow. But, it stars Rusty, who is capable of being quite low brow. It depends. Are you not entertained? The books are a bit highbrow and lowbrow. OBrien did a fantastic highbrow

A good read, surprising to see Hume at the fore of a piece which really only needed to reach for Rumsfeld and the unknown unknowns. Some hold there will be no midterms, and the war will justify that. I'm less sure they could pull that

Making externalities go away is hard. You take a zero cost (to them) outcome and push it back on their turf, making it anything but zero cost. I think it's a corollary of why utility functions need regulation: if you want the social ut

In times past, Oz dislike of Kiwi property acquisition along the Gold Coast was possibly more pointed than the expected anti Japanese and anti Chinese racism. It doesn't do us any credit how quickly we fall back on these petty differen

I'm not seeking to criticise this product, I think this is a great development. But, for almost all people this is shifting from one kind of "trust me bro" to .. another. We're not going to be able to formally prove the

No. A feature table would help. An abstraction/layer diagram. A lot more. Could bastille port to it as-is? How about podman?

I'll make the same comment I did on the other post about this. Either document how it differs from FreeBSD jails or give it some other name. Anything else is asking for confusion.

yes. I felt something very similar. I do think there is value in pointing out the pitfalls naieve users (me!) can make assuming things which aren't true about ordering of events, states. Queues with lock regions are also really nice be

Big issue in Australia. Campaigns with strong epidemiological input from the hospitals some time ago (decades) here led to compulsory cycle helmets and demonstrated a massive drop in life-altering head injuries. It's very likely the sa

Absolutely fascinating study. I look forward to more as the density of materials rises. I would observe that calligraphy such as in Islamic art, frequently conveys two messages. One is more abstract such as it's compelling beauty, but

Does the BoM change account for all of the price drop? I suspect the price/cost thing is bogus here, and in fact, the functionality drop is deliberately designed to NOT predate their existing markets in laptops: They priced it just low

Huge potential for lawsuit. It's a probabilistic model. If enough names have the same length and descender count and the pixel box variance is misleading then you misattribute into an individual not a set. Still, well done.

They refer to JP and language often enough in their search history and they state they are an american, and on 5G internet. I think working beyond this is doxxing. They could be anywhere.
