I have 19 mm left and 14 mm right stones that I generally don't notice and don't have any pain. ESWL seemed like a scam because there was no redness on back tissue and not a single grain or fragment was passed. I wonder if they se

Shit. This is what I need. A point 0.5 mile / 0.8 km away at 3.1 mph / 5 kph.

Legend has it that MySpace's purple Comic Sans blinking marquee font, animated star glitter, and ActiveX malware can be heard off in the distance at night on the internet. It's what happens when you give under-filtered HTML and CS

That would be hilarious. It was sold and revamped as a social network in Asia, but I assume worldwide IP rights went with it. I seem to doubt that it could or would be "rebuilt" unless IP rights were retained or conferred legally.

Sadly, pfSense lost me a long time ago. I'm happily on my 2nd OPNsense business license on Deciso embedded Ryzen-based hardware with 10 GigE optical links. Even takes care of PKI and has 2FA. I'm happy and I don't have to wor

Yep. It's easy to skip the TCO analysis to make it seem like it's "helping" in the context of a study trying to sell another study. The Bill Gates-associated method of spraying fine lye in a hyperboloid tower seems the m

I would bet seaweed or phytoplankton plus floating farm rigs would readily lead to scalable CCS. A few small regions of Earth's oceans would need to be sacrificed for sequestration. https://www.businessinsider.com/sarga

Exactly. There is little-or-no desire to eliminate animal agriculture despite the obvious data that it is killing us as much as FF private vehicles. There are many luxuries and senses of entitlements that cannot be curtailed politically sho

It's about scalability of any particular process minimizing net $/t (which includes kWh/t).

In general, to be scalable and cheap, CCS needs to be mostly passive activities relying on biology and large surface areas. This would then usually involve farmlands, forests, or oceans. (Not necessarily trees because they lack automatic se

There don't. The problem is a lack of remote industrial equipment that are EVs powered by renewable electricity sources rather than diesel fuel.

Clinker manufacturing for cement and concrete is amongst the worst offenders. This can be made greener with closed-loop production and CCS, and there are already efforts nearing or at commercial production with it.

Hey SF leadership, it's only been 12 years... sigh. Do I need to come back down there and demonstrate how I point my index finger in the air? Don't worry, I'm not running for POTUS and using this as an opportunity to throw y

Being a worker is being underpaid, to varying degrees. Another way to put it is "the most valuable employee makes the most impact for their salary", so the tendency is to maximize the former and minimize the latter. "Loyalty&

That's my point. The trend of the sum of streaming prices + internet all-in with inflation is absurd.

Creating rogue APs is criminal-adjacent, unethical behavior because it denies and interferes with a network. It could even be criminalized in some jurisdictions.

That option can be disabled by turning off "Find My network" such that the phone will be off and radio silent. With it on, it will continue to beacon until the battery reaches the final BMS low voltage point.

Disassemble and remove the battery. I can do this in about 1-2 minutes, others more skilled can do it in <30 seconds.

by oldbbsnickname 3y ago
Not really. The phone only appears "off" but is in-fact in a low power mode providing beacons. It won't work if the battery were removed. Also, modern iPhones use tower-assisted GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou, and

Mostly yes and good. One thing I don't appreciate is nonorthogonality of certain uses and control structures that cannot be refactored into a function despite structural equivalence without introducing a multiple borrow conflict.
