It's very insightful to look up fission, fusion, atom and find yourself ... definitely before the great war. As a time travel machine for the mind, this is great! It would also be an invaluable resource for any Dungeon Master aspiring

Yeah, but generating it in mynoise would be way cooler. Could have one of the sounds be the guy in Simon's cat muttering to himself :)

That's true even today for HAM radio handhelds. There is a cottage industry of ever larger snap on batteries for Baofengs and others. Very handy. Random thought: Maybe Apple should use radioisotope batteries to never have to change the

Hmmm. Someone tell the mynoise people. Having a sound ambience of a typing room might be awesome ? Or not ? The Selectric sounds pretty nice. I should really modify one of mine to be used as a terminal one day.

huh, always wondered where Pratchett got the Octavio idea from.

Check out the books by Rudolf Flesch. Old school, but ever more applicable. Also, Bugs in writing, by Lyn Dupree.

Yeah, unfortunately shipping anything with Li-Ion to my friend is pretty tough. Especially anything larger than a power bank. Amazon isn't even shipping those. I have hopes for Sodium-Ion cells, they should be way more shippable and pr

I don't know it's that clear cut. A constant drip of bad stories does hurt the reputation over time, and it's hard to get it back. But I agree - in the moment , the impact is barely visible, so management would have to put u

The sad thing here is not only that pretty much even the tiniest state actor or determined private baddie can now with impunity devise zero-day attacks, but that the defense infrastructure is just not there. My guess is that every single ze

Do you have any pointers on said 50kWh battery? Asking for a friend.

Come on! No one is forced to get on the rocket. If you don’t think it’s worth it, don’t go! From a social perspective, I would recommend to think of the average death per capita of an effort, which is effectively nil for Artemis (very f

Yes, the glass UI is the first step. Well done!

Since the impact of the account is presumably known to Microsoft (through telemetry etc), they probably know when these accounts get turned off, and can mark them in case the owner comes back and tries recovery. Microsoft would not have to

by golem14 6mo ago
Had similar experience. My best guess is that the account never went through the various age verification flows (since it was that old, it predated all that) and ended up being marked for deletion- I suspect that they had a bug (legal or in

Sure, but for the purpose of this discussion, those ships don't matter. What matters is what the ships NOT belonging to Iran's friends do.

by golem14 6mo ago
Are they though, in the straight ? I'm not sure it's such a great move, TBH: Given that the baddies clearly can locate ships and see that there's no transponder, and come to the conclusion they need. "Hmm, it turned off

by golem14 6mo ago
Do these ships not use transponders? E.g., in the US you can use a SDR dongle and a RPI to read local updates. The straight isn't very wide. Seems cheaper than the cigars and cash.

It's at least somewhat limited in non-English content. It knows how to make lentil soup, so I was happy that I never need to look up recipe sites with awful UX and ads, but then it couldn't find a recipe for "Kalter Hund&quot

That whole musical is just fantastic!

I think the sentiment here is that the short formulation of Kant's categorical imperative is as good and easier to read than the entirety of "types of ethical theory" (J.J. Martineau).

Similar report here: 70/10, 7.1-0.1 and srqt(49) also do not return true. Is there a published SLA for the free version?

Maybe. https://evernewtransformer.com/pt/how-to-purchase-power-tran... If I were to desperately need a power transformer, I'd consider going down this route in parallel to waiting for years for a "blessed&quo

I don't understand: is it illegal to buy transformers from China? It looks like they are building them like crazy, and are available for sale: E.g., https://lindahongli.en.made-in-china.com/product/SAapQolWVUY...

Non-competes are, as far as I know, not enforceable either at least in some jurisdictions.

Cool article, nice sleuthing. Could be straight out of the “Typeset in the Future” book!

Could you emulate this by instead shorting thr stock in question? I suppose it would be hard to limit the risk of a short squeeze?

For me, a great advantage is that this system makes it far simpler to understand the impact of a change, say a multi-pronged bill incl millionaire taxes, energy subsidy changes etc. Much harder to hide some impact under the carpet
