I do not think that this will work. Unless people actively force them not to, they will shut down this door and they will build a new one for the elites to continue their business as usual.

The same is true for any human achievement: humans have used fire to burn other people as well as stay warm and metallurgy, knifes as tools or for war etc. autonomous drones can clearly be very useful.

The upgraded TGV almost halved the time in the Paris-Bordeaux line from 4-4.5 to 2:15. This was a huge difference and combined with the convenience of the train station being close to the center as opposed to the airport, meant that people

As a Greek myself I can confirm that most of us know almost nothing about ancient Greek and a lot of us think that they do because they have the mistaken impression that the two languages slightly differ. To be fair though, i guess this hap

It would be very nice if this happened. In my view, one other feasible good step would be to require companies to publish the source code of their phones, ie provide the option for people to download, compile and install the full sw stack.

No we are NOT responsible for other peoples' life/choices. Period. This is no longer the 90s, every year there are articles "20?? is the year of the linux"! Linux has actually been around for longer than w95/NT an

After several months of use? One summer around that time I used to remember my w95 serial key by heart :) It was not only that windows would eventually get in some kind of bad state, it was also me: a young kid learning on his sole computin

Can you please point us to some technical report or something where they document the energy saving of moving from dimm slots to soldered ram/ssd ?

i guess most studios are thinking like this. And (unfortunately) they are absolutely correct. It is a pity though because I suspect that the vast majority of these requests that you had shouldn't have been directed at you but to othe

I guess this may not be the right place to ask this, but I have not seen any "explanation" on why the company who bought freenode is killing it and I am really curious why would one buy sth and then kill it.

This is an oversimplification that overlooks at automotive engineering history (if not history in general). Are there 2T engines or Wankel engines available for people to choose?

What you need to search for is "list initialization" (eg https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/list_initializati... ) . I understand that it is not the obvious thing to do. If you search for c++

I am really amazed by the comments saying "they did not make profits so it is reasonable they do not pay any taxes". You are skipping the whole point which is that a company that made 44bn sales income didn't really make 0 or

No they do not necassarily reinvest everything back to the company, they just funnel the money to tax heavens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4o13isDdfY

Not a diver myself but my best friend is (he is also an instructor as well as cave/shipwreck diver and he has also worked for a dive center with a lot of tourists). I remember him telling me that diving in shipwrecks(or caves) requires

I also come from the south of the mediteranean (probably more south than you :) ) and I couldn't care less :) And yes, we do produce tons of olive oil that the Italians or Spanish buy and sell as their own oil. The truth is that it can

I think that this is more of a marketing post than a technical post. That said, I really wish people do not promote bad practices, they are already too well established :)

the word trigonometry comes from the greek word "trigono" (triangle) and "metro" (count) which quite clearly describe what trigonometry covers: counting triangles (ie sides and angles). Its history dates back to at least

As much as I do not really care about apple machines (and I neither own neither plan to own in the near future) it seems that the M1 laptops have a significant advantage in power consumption over amd64 laptops. And as a linux user, this is

I haven't made any estimates to how much energy is wasted like this but I "feel" that it is negligible. Max power consumption will not change in power demanding cases as cpu will still throttle up to the TDP limits. I think i

actually "diodos" is also a valid and widely used greek word: "δίοδος" ie diode :) edit: i just saw that you are also Greek, so you already know that.

I didn't know that this was unique to Greece, I always thought that it would have happened in other similar parts of the world. fun fact (that I NEVER expected to explain in english! ): there is an expression in Greek which says "
