Yea, I've ran bunch of office PC's with nearly 20 year old components 24/7 without any stability issues (acting space heaters doing CPU intensive tasks in winter). No need to replace a quality PSU until you start having issue

Syria was an absolute hell under Assad for dissidents, can't blame America for that. Iraq and Libya maybe, though Saddam and Gaddafi weren't exactly great leaders to their people either. Anyway, IMO the thing about Iran is that it

Yes it's possible to make a fire on a plane, but it would be even easier to cause a big fire if there was zero monitoring of bags. As flawed as airport security is, it should generally catch things like somebody trying to get a carry-o

A year ago Air Busan Flight 391 burned completely after a single passenger power bank caught fire on the overhead compartment, and crew couldn't extinguish it. If that had happened on a plane that was in middle of an ocean for example,

It's just not bombs that are a danger. You really don't want anyone to set the airplane on fire either, or start shooting people or holes into the fuselage. AFAIK America has had plenty of shootings, and probably arson attacks too
36.
by reeredfdfdf 8mo ago
Yeah. The "security theater" absolutely does play its part in stopping attacks. Without it, airplanes would be an extremely easy target for any nutjob to commit mass murder in. They wouldn't even necessarily need a bomb, anyt

Considering America and Israel accomplished total air superiority over Iran in matter of days just few months ago, they're obviously pretty damn far from being untouchable. Invading Iran would be difficult, but totally destroying IRGC

Voice is going to become more important, but I doubt it's going to be that much of a threat to websites. I can already ask Gemini in my last generation smart watch for latest news, but I much prefer reading them myself. IMO AI will be

I agree. In many cases it's probably easier for a developer to become more of a product person, than for a product person to become a dev. Even with LLM's you still need to have some technical skills & be able to read code to

North Korea has nukes though. Iran doesn't, and probably never will.

by reeredfdfdf 8mo ago
Yeah, foreign intervention is probably the best option at this point. If the elites are willing to murder tends of thousands of innocent people, then I see no moral issues with foreign intervention to get rid of IRGC and current government

Yeah, over here in Finland we have pretty cold winters, but heat pumps are still very popular and deliver value most of the year.

Here in Finland our government decided that best place to store national election related data (including the votes) is AWS data center in Sweden. Looking forward to Jeff deciding which party wins next year!

If you want to save a ton on cooling costs, wouldn't it be just easier to build those data centers in Alaska? Or if they don't have to be in America, there are lots of options in Northern Europe with better infrastructure than Gre

Solar panels are being built like crazy in really poor developing countries like Pakistan, simply because it's cheaper than the alternatives. If they can afford it, average American surely should too.

One can only admire China's progress in this area. These days, if I got to choose between American and Chinese product, I always choose the latter for ethical reasons. I don't want to support anything American as long as its regim

The thing is, not all edible plants like higher temps. Then there's the issue of changing weather patterns, more extreme weather, drought. Agriculture is easier when weather stays predictable and pattern. Also, it's entirely possi

Yep, building a wrapper for LLM API is never going to build a sustainable business, there's absolutely zero moat. You need more, preferably physical world elements / something else that increases the switching costs.

Yea, the future is either UBI, or employing a very large number of people in public sector, doing jobs that are useful, but not necessary something free market capitalism values right now. Either way, governments need to heavily tax corpora

I don't hate Windows 11, I just don't give a shit about it. I can run nearly any software I might possibly need professionally on MacOS or Linux. The latter is also so good at gaming, that I don't really need Windows for that

Yea, in 29 Germany, France and UK will have elections, and far-right parties with anti-EU and partially pro-Russian attitudes are leading the polls. If they win, there will be hardly any unified "Europe" left. Why would I then tru

by reeredfdfdf 10mo ago
Yep, it's way better to overbuild than underbuild. Lack of houses for young people looking to start families / move in for better jobs has big negative societal impacts that we're only starting to see.

It may be illegal, but shady stuff certainly happens in EU too. Recently investigative journalists here in Finland found out that a significant percentage of job postings over here are indeed fake. Unsurprisingly, worst offenders were recru

Median income doesn't tell much if you don't factor in the cost of living. My salary sucks compared to what I would earn in America, but when I factor in things like free healthcare, daycare and higher level education, I'm be

Yep, almost always in rich world "labor shortage" = I can't / don't want to pay a livable wage. Over here in Europe my country has a sky high unemployment, yet picking tomatoes is mostly done by immigrants from Sout

"The only reason to reduce headcount is to remove people who already weren’t providing much value." I wish corporations really acted this rationally. At least where I live hospitals fired most secretaries and assistants to doctors

Here in Finland we have the world's highest coffee consumption per capita, and also long, dark winters. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so. I've found combination of coffee and light therapy to be quite effective against s

I can understand the use in agriculture, but I've never understood why anyone would use the stuff on their own lawn. Who cares if there are some weeds growing, when you can cut them down with lawnmower anyway? Heck, my relatives in the

by reeredfdfdf 10mo ago
What is the point of removing weeds from those cracks in the first place? Do they cause some kind of physical harm to creatures or objects that move on that concrete or asphalt surface?
