The way I'm reading this is that petrol and diesel vehicles are remarkably popular, so I'm left wondering what is wrong with actually being a representative government.

Why would I pay to interface with the government?

Basically startup work, but you get paid. I'll do it for $200/hr and a table at hakkasan.

"Must hold or be willing to obtain a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) certification." How long does that take?

Kagi really is good. I blew through the 300-search plan in like 2 weeks, then upgraded to the $10/1000-search plan. I've been following them on discord. They've been pretty upfront about everything, and they meet their proje

I'm a little torn. I've never had a problem with spend, but there have been years where I didn't hit my MQMs, and just to make status, I'd fly a trans-pacific. It's giant waste for everyone involved, so I'm gla

Yes, it's a lot of work, and it's very possible to just lose that information, even if you are committed to sticking with the platform. It's also not unique to something like github. It was still possible to lose context whe

Bang on. This practice has changed in the hosted, PR-based collaboration world. Instead of embedding this kind of thing in the source itself, it's written up in these constructs that exist outside. Then they go missing or are just undi

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was a session about root zone security, and Adam Langley was in the room. I was thinking, damn, kinda sucks to be the guy that holds Google's private keys. They want someone's i

I don't remember the provenance of the quip, but somewhere at a def con or a hope, I heard, "The point of cryptography is to force the government to torture you."

Interesting idea to use the energy absorption to mitigate storm damage.

I'm curious why you think it would be free of effect. I asked because it occurred to me that it could . Then, someone pointed me to the paper (linked in this thread) and the researchers say so: "Large-scale use of wind power can

by ibejoeb 3y ago
I'll take your word for it that wind farms aren't visible 40 miles above the earth. But for the life of me I have no idea why we're talking about it. Is there a lot of wind up there? The research posted in this thread conclud
615.
by ibejoeb 3y ago
Lol. But, seriously again, isn't that a weird thing to examine in this study? The researchers hypothesize that wind turbines might increase the surface temperature, and they found that they do not. Great. I don't know why anyone w

Sorry, I'm not following at all. So the "tallest and most dense wind farms are long past being completely invisible" means that they are so large as to be visible even from space? > imagine a wind farm tall enough and dens

by ibejoeb 3y ago
Good link, thanks. I said nothing about wind vs petro/coal. But we're at a point where we've decided that we've taken petro too far, and it changed the climate, so we need to replace it with something else. We're ro

(The "induce" definition as in to cause or influence an effect.) All of those things may be true, but I disagree that it's not worth figuring out. I mean, if we're greenwashing everything--I just bought carbon-neutral co

Then we can calculate a literal cost per impression, and the unit is birds.

by ibejoeb 3y ago
Serious question: what is threshold at which the number of these turbines sufficiently disturbs normal wind to induce climate change?

So? They're having eight kids per woman in the majority of Africa. To say "unless you hate humanity you probably want there to be one in the future," with the implication that we're running out of humans, is some alterna

People are having heaps of kids. The population is increasing. Births continue to outpace deaths.

In California, it is generally unlawful to defend property. So, like I said, either the state needs to do it for me with its sovereign right to use of force, or it needs to step aside. I left California, so I really don't care.

The state, using its various powers such as monopoly on use of force, could: 1. Intervene and prevent the loss 2. Prosecute perpetrators of theft as a deterrent

Yeah. I can never seem to get the fonts to work with flatpak/snap Firefox. Seems kind of essential.

I'm not familiar with details of any of these packaging formats. Are they all single-file? Is there any technical reason they couldn't be unpacked to allow the fs to deal with the deduping?
