By using methane instead of kerosene. Methane won't cause soot/coking.

To my understanding, this is why they don't have a real model of the world. They don't understand that the road signal right ahead of you poses no danger, because you're actually in the middle of a curve and your trajectory w

You can put a price on the planet when you have more than one. Until then, this thinking is absurd.

Fine in theory. In practice we only get one planet, and trying to quantify whether taking care of it outweighs the loss of income of just letting the damage happen is not merely wrong, but outright terrifyingly inhuman. It goes even beyond

The ISO keyboard is unfortunately a true bummer. I hate that layout with a passion and would gladly pay extra to have an ANSI layout keyboard (the one with the flat Enter and the backslash above it) and even install it myself if it's f

Should they change your password for you? How do they communicate it securely then? Over unencrypted email, whose password may or may not be the same of your just-compromised docker account?

There is an interesting similar concept using magnetic fields instead of compression - some materials rise considerably in temperature when immersed in a strong magnetic field. Extract heat to a radiator, turn off the electromagnet, open th

If by not using Chrome you don't end up on an AMP page, I consider that a feature.

A vast majority of these boards use chips made for mobile phones to keep the costs down - so we have to make do with what these chips have. Which is why they support 2 or 3 camera buses, WiFi, LVDS, HDMI, Bluetooth, SD, but usually no SATA,

I don't hate the keyboard. I tried it in a store and after getting over the surprise of the extremely short key travel distance, it is quite usable - but the failure rate, the annoyances, the potential out-of-warranty cost turn it into

Also, they're known for having pulled this off successfully, twice (68000 to PPC, PPC to Intel), which certainly would lend them credibility if they decided to go for it. I would buy such a laptop with zero qualms about them bungling t

Yes. AMP is an absolute cancer and its adoption would probably be 0% if google didn’t forcefully shove it down everyone’s throat. (And they are very good at learning from their own history, because that totally worked with Google+.)

I have a huge amount of respect for them, for having refused the very substantial (7-8 figures) amount of money they got offered to bundle crapware/spyware with it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15372048

If I’m not wrong the composite video out is still there in the newer pi’s. It’s one of the pins in the headphone jack, even in the latest models.

systemd is a simplification of init? You couldn't have picked a wronger example. It's literally missing a NOT statement in the middle.

15 bits per hour means that in 136 hours you potentially exfiltrate a 2048 private key. Actually make it 120 hours since the rest at that point is bruteforceable. I imagine Gmail's HTTPS certificate, or a Microsoft code signing key, or

You are assuming they ever even cared about Solaris. They bought Java, because they were using it everywhere in their own product offering, and didn't want it under someone else's control (esp. if IBM would have been Sun's bu

You do realize you're attacking the _one_ company which supports their phone for the longest period, do you? IOS 12 can be installed on the 5S, which is the oldest 64 bit phone. It was launched in 2013.

It’s not a terribly difficult dilemma: the car will save me, because I won’t buy a car which wouldn’t do that, and neither would anyone else, so that’s what we will be able to get. The only way to change this is by legally imposing a certai

It's only a terrible choice if you do not think about cooling the batteries, and having some physical protection against runaway thermal effects. If you do, suddenly that empty space becomes precious. The fact that other carmakers star

Shazam’s technology might, with some adaptation, have no trouble with that. Hell it might even be able to tell you make, model, year and diagnose a few engine conditions. If anyone builds it successfully and makes millions with it, and this

Software doesn't have many opportunities to be deadly, and when said opportunities do exist, this is frequently in regulated fields where safeties are mandated by law (interlocks on a laser or a welding robot arm etc).

Especially in Italy, I try to avoid checked baggage at all cost, because: 1) They charge you for it 2) They steal it 3) They lose it. So yeah don't blame the passengers.

(Depleted) Uranium is a pyrophoric material - it spontaneously ignites in the right conditions (e.g. when it's shot at a tank and penetrates it), making a better job of killing said tank's occupants. This causes it to vaporize, an

Probably because fuel is so much more expensive than electricity. You avoid having to climb all the way up just so you're using up less of this very expensive fuel, which especially on short haul flights is a huge % of the whole flight
