Where the idea came that anyone needs PhD in psychology to be motivational speaker? Many if not most successful ones don't even have basic degree.

The device is not 1 cm, it is 'microns each side', right? That should make it roughly 10000x faster than 20 GHz, which is quite mind blowing for me. Especially if you imagine multi-layer superstructures for resolving very complex

I used screen cleaner gel to clean up some old macbooks with pile of years old stickers and it worked without any trace left I can notice. And I guess it is already safe for electronics. No special formulas needed.

You have zero trust in Facebook, and Facebook has zero trust in you. Perfect use case for blockchain, right?

It is not about deleting accounts or moving over. Heavy user has multi-device setup, I use Android tablet, iPhone, Mac and sometimes PC, some appliances like Synology with bundled apps also. Nowdays even my printer has online sign in, for f

The promise and all the overhead of real distributed blockchains is that you should avoid any need to trust anyone, and if you're really paranoid then you should not trust even your own database copy. All this could be hacked just as A

Humans have survived fine these extremes only because there is normal ecosystem outside from it. Now imagine that after climate collapse the vacuum of space, top of the peak or bottom of the ocean is the only environment we have. You don&#x

Source? Carbon capture and storage (CCS) seems to be a thing for sure.

Yep, unfortunately nuclear power is about 2x more expensive than e.g. gas, and more expensive than even renewables. The solution here would be to make CO2 expensive enough.

In EU at least you can switch mobile operators and keep your number; also there is some bank account porting system (not sure if you keep your number). Same way E-mail porting should be also required, so I can keep my gmail address. If mobi

Globally this would be too much, but why not in EU? It is +1 for some, and -1 for others, not that much. Just stretch to CET, just like Spain already does.

There is also some controversy around it : the big players do data mixing from different sources, which is not strictly compliant with OSM licenses. Also some say that their bulk editing creates nice map data, but harms local potential mapp

A worldwide tile server for low load (up to <30 tps) decent latency (<100ms per tile) can be set up with 2core, 4GB ram and 70GB HDD machine. Key is to use “prerendered” vector tile stack. Geocoding is way harder task. The old sites l

Btw, is there already a handshake and data protocol for the AI calls via voice to a business phone which happens to be received by another AI? So instead of voice call they try to negotiate using data packets and save some time and clarity.

It is not just Europe and GDPR. You should block users from every single country where you are not ready to take responsibility to comply with the local laws. By providing service/content in international scale you are doing business w

Main/only weak thing of Mapbox is that they are not free and unlimited for mobile apps, Google seems to remain that.

OSM sub-10 minute updates really depends on zoom level and data. With low zooms the update can take weeks even there, as I recently learned in a hard way. It is more important to have consistent and laundered map data than someone's la

Military (or state in general) may have other, softer and more covert means of influencing other countries besides war, like “persuading” home corporations to act on their behalf. Thats not unheard of nowadays

The good news is that Tesla does not manufacture toys for children. Otherwise, for them label "not suitable for children under 3 years, must be used carefully etc" would make every deadly mistake just another user's fault.

many points can be summarized as: “CSV is CSV”. What about instead writing summary how to write properly CSV which is usable in all or at least most cases? Like best encoding, proper separation, headers, delimiters and escaping all the spec

Totally agree that bulk of the copywrite laws are unreasonable and unfit for the digital age. However, for me more interesting question is why they even went into the German court. In theory Germany could issue international warrant, but I

I dont say that such interpretation of international law over web content is practical, reasonable, etc, but it is as it is. Better be aware of this if you publish anything not trivial, otherwise your US (for example) lawyers will be happy

Isn’t publishing content over web to the public “activity in this country”? I think it is. The magical Internet allows actions in other countries without physical presence.

> PGLAF is entirely in the US PGLAF has awesome mission, but that base assumption is not really correct. With publishing content in Germany (or whatever country) over Internet (or otherwise) they have crossed physical and legal borders.

I’d take it with a bit sense of humour. If there are not computers, electricity and internet, then how he could know what to draw in detail and how post to Facebook. I bet he used a projector to draw the image in the first place. Which does

For the below-25 crowd email is quite dead : they only read it when asked via proper chat or “social” channels, and send one as last resort. For the older gen email is near dead due to spam. In few years it will be new telefax.

The video by itself will be shortly a medium what noone believes as ground truth, just as a written word or a drawing is now. We should be able to construct better cameras with tamperproof footage. But not sure how, as with realtime editing
