That will tell the screen resolution, but not the resolution/bitrate of the video the Chromecast is decoding.

Ah, my mistake. Yes, that does seem... well, legally complicated, to say the least.

If it wasn't intended, then I am the one who should apologize to you! I read it as snarky, but tone is notoriously hard to get across through text. (And I've never been particularly good at figuring it out myself.) My apologies.

I suppose the question is who will do something about this. What group or individual is going to slog through the work of getting this investigated? What group or individual is going to slog through a lawsuit? Would the EFF take it up, or i

IANAL. Wouldn't this be a sale of a non-profit's assets, rather than a sale of the non-profit itself? I see no legal reason a non-profit can't sell, e.g., a building it owns. Everything else seems skeevy, but this particula

Is there any new information in this article? I'm not seeing anything that hasn't already been reported on.

I'm not sure that the partisan tone here is necessary. That said: can you elaborate on how the discouraged workers metric is racist? Also, do note that this article uses labor input utilization rate, which has nothing to do with the un

I would be very wary of reading too much into the tone of a translation, especially when the language has been dead for so long.

No need to be rude.

I think you cited the wrong source for that. It's actually the page linked in this submission that has that statistic.

While Fastmail will not save us from the slow, declining viability of self-hosted individual and small business mail servers, their positive effect on the e-mail ecosystem is wonderful. My decision to use their service (even though it is qu

I'm hoping someone clever here has read a book about the cartel and can answer this question: The wiki page doesn't go into too much detail, but is there any evidence the primary goal of the cartel was primarily intended to increa

Ah, good point. For some reason I was imagining the rocket lying on its side or some nonsense.

For reference, the average human seems (from a very brief search) to swing an 8lb sledgehammer at ~25mph. So it's a bit like someone very, very strong (think strongman competitions) nailing the thing as hard as they can with a sledgeha

The chain is a bit much, though. Besides, one would hope that news aggregators[1] like HN would direct to the original source as much as possible. [1]: Is there a better term for this? HN isn't solely focused on news (and in fact has a

The only time I ever use it is when I'm cooking and my hands are dirty (and usually just to get some measurement conversion), or when I'm wanting to start navigating somewhere quickly before driving. I've found it wholly usel

My mistake, I thought I'd put it in there originally! Usually I throw an "EDIT:" in, but it's possible I made the edit so quickly after posting that I didn't think anyone had started replying yet. No offence or subt

I noted this at the end of my comment, but I'll elaborate: Time zones do tend to be chosen such that inhabitants are within +/- 1 hour of solar time. If you look at the map at http://blog.poormansmath.net/images&#x

The choice of what 12:00 signifies has no bearing on where wake/sleep is anchored. If California decided to switch to Eastern time, people would just end up setting the average work day in the state from 11:00 - 19:00 (Eastern time), a

>The media’s inability to articulate the proposition’s purpose may have led to voter bewilderment, as illustrated in the CBS article, which features a California resident who asserts: “I don’t like Daylight Saving Time. It disrupts me ev

Correct! Any heat source of sufficient temperature will work, but propane is convenient. I recently took a ferry in Idaho; before loading, people in RVs were told to turn off their refrigerator to reduce fire risk. Searching for "absor

It's very common in hospitals. I'd love to see it in more places.

I can't recall exactly what steps I went through. It took quite a lot of time. It was one of those rabbit holes where I spend two hours thinking I'm just 10 minutes from being done. If I recall correctly, I did the conversion in h

I hate to distract from the content of the article, but I have a request from those without good vision: the text color on this blog is just a shade over 50% grey. I know people are opposed to the starkness of #000-on-#FFF text, but going a

While the Rust version does flow logically, succinctness helps a lot more than people seem to appreciate. It's one of the reasons math notation is often so inconsistent: the brevity allows for easier manipulation and scanning. (Though

If you're a die-hard reader and always have a book in hand, it's actually not that bad. You just happen to stand in line to read, rather than lounge or lie down to do so. Granted, obtaining and arranging accessories (pillows etc.)

I am not sure it is really as basic and obvious as you imply. The comparison between the "reversibility" of laser speakers/microphones and the reversibility of normal speakers/microphones is a bit off, in my opinion. For

This is a terrible article that is little more than conspiracy theorist baiting. For example, the author takes this quote from Ben Rich: >“We have some new things. We are not stagnating. What we are doing is updating ourselves, without a

From my very, very brief reading on the subject, I would look up discussions of the historical accuracy of the battles (particularly the more ancient ones). It seems that in real life, battles would typically take _much_ longer (an entire
