I think that's the wrong article. It says "we are likely to see temperatures of 40C" but doesn't claim that anywhere actually did.

Where was it over 40?

by ibejoeb 4y ago
I'm objecting to the sensationalism and overtly incorrect account of the temperature being 40C and the runway melting. What good does that do? "Approaching" 40C isn't 40C. Depending on who you ask, it was 38C there. I gu

Right. A temperature measurement on one day is a temperature measurement on one, regardless if its 1911 or 2022.

Sorry you can't think of a name to call me. This is as much cherry-picking as the linked article is. It's one measurement. > source of a paragraph from an Australian newspaper The link is an Australian paper, too.

What's your point? That this is unreliable reporting? I'll take your word for it that the met office didn't start collecting temperature data until 1914. Countless other entities didn't either, and none of them were cite

Totally unjustified, sensational nonsense. > The UK’s highest of 38.7C was recorded in Cambridge in July 2019. This isn't remarkable. >the record temperature of 100 degrees was reached at Greenwich on August 9 This was in 1911, f

Certainly. I'm not saying there is no way to do something like this. This post just doesn't offer anything . It complains about environmental matters, and then it goes on to complain about weight. Make one wonder if the author ha

Sure. The post says nothing about that though. Just a bunch of baseless assertions about cars being bigger than ever, but the '90s versions were super comfortable. OK. > Consumers who fear for their safety and buy big cars and rest

If it's shipping crostini, I'll probably give it a shot. I've got a stack of old laptops that will probably run it just fine. It'll work great for browsing or playing media, and then anything special can be run on crosti

It's that we don't really know what is being inspected. I don't, at least. I've been looking, and I can't find any official statement or specific language in the myriad policies.

Is that true, or is it a hypothesis? I'd really like to know if Google does process every single file. I'll operate as if it does, but I wish someone from inside would confirm and elaborate.

by ibejoeb 4y ago
The key point, to me, is that Google monitors all content. I don't think it's much of a surprise, but in context of Google Drive, it's pretty terrible. Drive is a anti-product like this. It's like if Western Digital de

I put 64gb ram in a librem 14. Cost around $200. The only thing I feel is lack of GPU. The hardware all works great. (The librem build itself is meh, but it all works perfectly with qubes without any tinkering.)

It doesn't even make sense. What would it mean to anthropomorphize a human? It is a given and can't be fairly characterized like that. The only way to characterize it otherwise is to dehumanize.

I think the intention here would be to provoke random jitter. So rather than trying to fight it with constant-time algorithms that turn out not to be under certain conditions, we make all the timing unreliably measurable. I think the termin
