No, $10 for a cable with significant amount of power is unreasonable. If you ever dealt with some power cables, you'd know that 1 meter of the highest quality copper power cable for continuous delivery of say 15 amps (3 x 1.5 mm^2) sho

It's not magic when step down DC-DC converters take as much space as power negotiation crap and all that's really needed is single 20 volts. Look at new ATX standardization development with proposals to leave only 12 volts, droppi

Some people and orgs upload videos with subtitles, especially those targeting international viewers.

I'm pretty sure crowdsourcing subtitles in different languages is the primary use of the feature precisely because machine generated translation of machine generated captions produces gibberish.

Maybe in both cases they did some A/B testing and found out ads were more effective without either feature. Like isn't it obvious that text boxes interfere with ads, take some attention away from them. Not as obvious with subtitle

You won't be able to produce materials neither for M1 Garand nor for masks. But at least for N95 masks there are plenty of substitute materials available in abundance if any of the commonly used ones isn't available and complicate

Yep, it's more like a post justification bullshit. I believe the more realistic reason is that N95 masks are produced by a monopoly that doesn't want neither expand production to satisfy short term rise in demand nor give up its m

Keep in mind that polypropylene meltblown material (main filtering material) is used in surgical masks just as much, as well as polypropylene spunbond, but somehow they are produced in enough quantity everywhere in the world to satisfy dema

It's likely not as common as it seems. Personally I only ever heard of some mythical software engineers from the US pursuing woodworking, but not from anywhere else. Maybe in the US it's a lucrative field and it's common for

In Ukraine, which lived through Chernobyl, public is mostly pro nuclear. Turns out solar and wind isn't actually competitive and nobody likes to pay rich "green energy" investors for no reason, so as long as they have no infl

Meltblown isn't that limited in supply and from all the masks it is wasted mostly on surgical masks, not N95, since surgical masks use the same sickness meltblown layer, but are produced in much higher quantities.

In the paper they were still able to cover 100% of US numbers for Signal and discover all of its users, but less than 0.02% for Telegram and discover only 908 of its users due to simple rate limits, how is Signal better at this exactly? On

Yeah, you need to be very cautious with megacorp software these days. Disable internet access before putting your laptop to sleep or better don't even give it access to the entire internet in the first place, as the OS, the drivers, ev

> OOP won against functional because OOP is easier to understand and leads to more maintainable code. If by functional you mean higher order as in the title and not what is commonly known as FP - it's never been true. For example,

A common form of central heating, like burning fossils kind that delivers hot water over insulated pipes to each building, is more efficient in pretty much every way and is cheap to add during building construction than doing it individuall
