Unfortunately we've been running a massive and growing budget defect since 2002. The government would need to bring in or cut an extra 1.6 trillion dollars per year to get back to balanced in order for your statement to make sense.

There is a surprising amount of influence in terms of what stations you listen to, not just due to the local programming but due to their choice of which national programming they air.

I believe that (1) happened prior to the acquisition of netscreen by Juniper. (so, if your comment is meant to suggest something about the integrity of the management, etc. it may not be as significant as you're suggesting).

Right, but gas vs not gas remains irrelevant. You're poisoning yourself w/ cooking in those apartments. The only fix is proper ventilation. Which is unfortunate, because as you note many apartments and homes are not built for it.

by nullc 1y ago
Cooking itself produces considerable pollution. If you have adequate ventilation for that the additional contribution from gas is absolutely insignificant.

The field strength isn't a fair measure of the danger in any case. It's as dangerous as it is because of the size. A little rare earth magnet can easily have a 1T field at its surface, but some inches away the field is negligibl

You normally hear it describes as the "field falls off according to inverse cube" but the consider what that means about how the field increases. The effect for magnetic fields is that generally once the field is enough to obvious

No. What a hero. Gawker was absolutely vile trash and should have been nuked from orbit a thousand times over. Their conduct on many matters, but particularly, hogan was inexcusable in the extreme.

Google also cannot be held to account, its legal team out resources countries and if you attempt to litigate at best they will just keep you busy until you're bankrupt. At least graphene wouldn't be expected to shield the perpetr

Plenty of computing uses don't run third party potentially malicious code. SMT, implemented well, can significantly increase execution unit usage in the face of memory latency. Now, if it makes business sense to have cpus with such a m

Mouse sensors also only output x/y displacements, not rotations-- even though their mechanism of operation would allow it. I assume that's why this device uses four of them. There are inexpensive mouse sensors which are made for

Without error coding only a perfect channel can give lossless performance. But with error coding even a fairly lossy channel can give performance that is arbitrarily close to lossless, depending only on how much capacity you're will

Humans have a lot of experience with themselves, if you ask why they did something they can reflect on their past conduct or their internal state. LLM's don't have any of that.

It's also a time asymmetry thing. Prior to AI there were widespread slop problems because 1 unit of writing time might cause 10000 units of reading time, and so it's easy to waste people's time entirely out of proportion wi

This would basically grant facebook and google a monopoly on AI -- as they'll put training on your material as part of their TOS and then be the only players with enough market power to get adequate amounts of training material.
