The world as we know it is in Extreme Peril is an equivalent headline. It won’t mean just a gradual sea level rise, global warming, extreme weather, and the basis of our present civilization will be disrupted, and get deeper into negative t

Are we talking about intentional or unintentional inaccuracies? Unintentional ones should be distributed more or less evenly, if everyone have 10 less votes it should not change the end result. But intentional ones, with the objective of tr

It had never stopped accelerating. This shithole planet have plenty of positive feedback loops, so you warm up, then you have less reflective ice, less albedo and more heat absorption, permafrost thaws and that is more greenhouse gases emis

What could have been if instead of crypto trillions were invested in something actually useful? What about the housing bubble of which we learned nothing as we are falling into it again? There is a lot of stinky garbage in AI, but at least

robots.txt takes as assumptions that are well-meant, and respectful to the site intentions, major players, that try to index/mirror sites while avoiding overwhelming it and accessing only what is supposed to be freely accessed. Using a

Drones and autonomous systems probably won't be the end of mankind as Terminator and Black Mirror's Metalhead pictured, but civilians will end being their targets, by mistake or design, and it won't be any accountability for

We are about to not be the main drivers of change. I won’t be so optimistic about it stopping at 3, 3.5 °C or whatever near enough. What may change is how fast we will get there, but we already are reaching the limit set for the end of the

It may very opinionated towards exactly what/where/etc you are looking for. Increasing the number of interactions may also increase the odds of bad outcomes. The rest of the owl should be put in the picture too.

I bet that they grew a lot with VMWare/Broadcom changes, even the somewhat paid subscriptions. But they are not yet one of the (commercial/enterprise) big names. I suppose that this donation is part of their "now that I have

That is a 1st world country point of view. Reality is that we don't have an unified, global living standard now, and neither probably by the Expanse point of time. And if a critical amount of people decided to try luck working on aster

The revolution will not be televised. Once we shut down all the alarms they will stop making noise, but that won't address what is triggering them. It is not the only measurement of global CO2 source, anyway, but as a base point for l

Hollywood, or if you want, mass media, concluded that too, long ago. Killing individuals or multitudes, gore, and a lot of other permanently damaging activities are permitted or even glorified, while a lot of less damaging or even consentin

How data changes, and what changes it, matters when trying to optimize backups. A full OS installation may not change a lot, or change with security updates that anyway are stored elsewhere. Configurations have their own lifecycle, actors,

For me Google came out in 1997, as beta and probably without the current domain name, but being back that time reader of Slashdot it was hard not to miss it. And it was magic compared with everything else that were around back then.

Greg Egan's Diáspora starts with the merger of two neutron stars, and that causes a lot of trouble in this side of the galaxy, don't want to imagine what would it be with 2 massive blackholes for the nearby galaxies.

The main thing I remember from an usability book by Jakob Nielsen is that web pages should fit in 50kb, including all elements. Managing to do this in only 2x that size today, considering that his book was from 1999, may be considered a mer

It could be a good pattern for spam/ads organizations, changing the random domain name as soon as traffic drops because the actual ones ended in enough blocklists.

"fast storage" is about performance, your abstraction includes performance elements. If you go that down, then you are optimizing on your abstraction designs. What doesn't have to be wrong, but then don't say that is not

My main objection against this kind of predictions is that predictions (at least, the known enough ones) are part of the past that shape the future. Even doing a good extrapolation on the current trends, the prediction itself could make thi
