Entirely technically feasible, and has been for years and years.. ..but impossible to have unless you control the operating system that is distributed with phones that normal people will use.

Nuclear disarmament is governed by treaty, which is largely adhered to. An AI treaty could quite easily be offered by the US because it has multiple frontier labs. Most countries would quite happily limit the activity of their larger compan

I am baffled by the responses to this, not seeing that a similar strategy can be applied in a different field.

Is that actually true? A settlement only binds the relevant parties. If it had gone to court that's be different, but functionally this is a private agreement. My understanding of law is UK centric, though, so can anyone say why this w

I'd argue that if we are burning plastics we get to dodge microplastics, and we get a second use of hydrocarbons. Burn enough plastic, maybe we can displace some gas. Optimistic, I realise.

Easy cases might be single use plastics outside of a medical environment and anything where there isn't a substitute with adequate properties (I'd ignore economics here and let the market solve) Ultimately a tricky thing to define

Honestly at this point I think the way to go may be to stop using plastics where they're not absolutely required, and to subsequently burn what goes into landfill while producing electricity and reclaiming heat. Better that than this.

This happened to me with Starling Bank's app years ago. I have since conceded defeat. What is pernicious is how some of these services are unusable without an app, while also bossing the user around about what operating system they can

Somehow I suspect GDPR isn't engaged there as they forbid the creation of an account in the first place, so they don't store the data. Maybe I could create an account with a different email address and try it then.

I've got a .email domain which various UK based retailers insist isn't a real domain from which email can be sent. I've been trying to convince Argos that it is real for about seven years. To their credit, my building society

Can you explain what you mean by a maintenance measure for your jaw shape? Is the idea.. a jaw workout?

Having had nothing but a laptop for years, I think more might be more, but let's agree to disagree :)

For a golden decade or so, piracy was less convenient than paying: Xbox had subscriptions offering on tap games, there was only really one streaming service to speak of that had high quality content, music came from Spotify or YouTube, etc.

Some cracks have emerged in that, at least in the UK. Trains, water companies, etc, all used as solid examples of private sector waste and extractiveness.

I've been following this for a while: Regen have a beautifully designed product. The idea that people need to be able to access time of use tariffs in a way that yields lower energy costs makes a lot of sense. But this is about energy

Why that number in particular? Are you thinking of payback period of something else?
22.
by hkt 2mo ago
Presumably it helps that these things have their own fire suppression systems, time of use tariffs are cheap, and everybody needs a win. (I'll be putting mine outside)

Just last month I bought a HP Micro server (N54L) from 2012, two second hand 4TB drives, 16GB of DDR3, and a 2.5GbE dual port network card. All in, that was about £180. I may shell out another £30 or so for a half depth, low profile graphic

Mythic beasts. Their IP ranges are pretty clean and well managed. My deliverability has been fine there for years.

I've been self hosting since 2012 or so and it is a mixed bag. Deliverability is fine provided you're on a clean IP range, which generally only reputable hosts have. There was a moment when my son was born and he was in NICU that
