Yeah, last time it happened it was a weird combination of things... Historically, de facto back ups are clustered across computers, sticks and drives. Nothing intentional, only general messiness. I helps I hardly ever delete data, my proble

And honestly, I never lost data in my whole life as a private user. Exceptions: Own stupidity in which case even back-ups don't help. And that included the time when HDDs had a tendency to fail. And what little data loss occured was ac

One constant through all of this, across millenia, is the helmet so. Something modern armies re-learned the hard way in WW1. After all, despite what fantasy and roleplaying games say, a helmet is and was the most important, and first, piece

Curious fact about Japan, it was united under, if memory serves well, Ibunaga using the, by some accoints, best firearms rquipped army equiped with the best muskets of the time. Only to have forearms basically outlawed once Japan was united

Opinions differ. But then paying a premium means paying a higher price than just accepting whatever a sales person asks for initially... To me, that is kind of stupid. But the I never got the German obsession with panel gaps neither, so m

I explicitly mentioned electricity, didn't I? And getting rid of burning fossil fuels is a win I'll take every day of the week. Don't let the perfect be the enmy of the good and all that.

Didn't read your source, but I did follow the reporting on the death of vertical farming on HN a while ago. Confirmed everything I knew about the field. That someone can make it work, great (we'll see long term so). We are still l

In Germany I'd go directly for the manufacturers websites. They have a dedicated offer for "approved" used cars that come with warranties and such, and went through QA after being returned. Jaguar Land Rover is pretty decent,

Basically inertia guidance enhanced by terrain matching. Which is great, but terrain matching as a stand-alonenis pretty useless. And it still requires good map data. Fine for a cruise missile launched from a base or ship. Becomes an operat

And it would still be pointless and the opposite of profitable. With enough VC money on the other hand... It seems the vertical farming hype is over quite a while so.

You are aware, that if someone manages to get you pay more by not having to deal with a sales person, it is them who are rippong ypu off? Quite literally at that.

Minimum 6 months in Europe. Buy from a brand dealership and you get usually 12 months, some even offer 24. For used cars.

Sure. And then you have to upload those new, and vetted, imagines to all your drones. Other nav data is much more stable. Mind you, military hardware is not your smartphone, OTA updates are usually not a thong for various reasons. The appro

Not every sales person is trying to rip you off so. That's not what sales is, despite some actually doing it. Most sales people so, are just doing their job in acquiring customers for their business. Edit: Cars need service and mainten
