I was using something called "cash" (I think? Not sure) I think here in Sweden in the 90s, probably around 1998, which was chip but NO pin, ie. just like cash, if you lost your card you lost the cash.. That was supported in a very

Yep, I was running one of these for the longest time.. until they blocked idle instances! Hah.. thats the kind of usage free gets you, lot of people hoarding it for... nothing. I mean, I could easily have thought of stuff to load the instan

In my humble opinion as an amateur genealogist, after a year or so with paid services (Ancestry, Myheritage) I find there is really no good reason not to use a combination of Wikitree and Familysearch, both free, if we ignore DNA tests. Esp

Im trying, really trying to understand what BIGFAM is about. Is it related to gut biome, and what the bacteria eats, and trying to find the genes for that? Or am I completely lost.

Sweden is awful here, neither my home connection nor my phone uses ipv6. We were once very early with internet stuff, but now we lagging it seems.

This is funny as a european, since we have many, many groups where we reguarly will run 2kW, and some, loads. Really no issue, but I guess lower voltage makes it a problem.

Most likely is that it was deemed simplified enough not be an issue?

V2G is actually a much easier scenario for a battery than driving down the high way, so not impossible at all!

Well our kettle is 2.4kW, our microwave is 800W or so effectively. Also our induction stovetop is much faster, so the nuking option is slowest by a lot.

Wait, a _standard plastic bag_ for compost? Why not, you know, paper?

So, the chains broke when doing an emergency braking and the load crushed the pick-up? I clearly see that the driver was at fault, but aren't loads also not supposed to easily escape their tie-downs?

Agreed, I was thinking "what if the could have made those guesses right away?" Would have been trivial to see the tracks leading down into the water compared to building a ROV!

I live in Sweden, but very early on in my career I was told that showing a competing offer would simply be viewed as "blackmailing" and you would not become very popular. I never used that tactic, instead just switching jobs. Now

"Powering them off coal and natural gas does nothing for carbon" - This is actually not true. Most of the time your grid is less than 100% coal, and because of the efficiency of EVs in total the CO2 emitted is still less. See here

Sure, super-resolution exists in various forms and this is one. But this is an example of not actually adding any scientific information to the photo: extraplating data like that will never yield anything new or unexpected, so...

Wow, what a flash from the past! Was playing around a LOT with GP around that time, and the name Koza is certainly familiar. I even think I did some semi-similar things, instead of my normal approach which was simplistic but inefficient in

Our 20~ year old sofa was much cheaper than this (considering intial purchase+repair), but also not leather. Its not really showing any signs of age, after some fixing from cat damage. Does it contain cheap sawdust-formed-into-wood? Probabl

It says it is using openstreetmap, so you can probably edit that tree if its added to OSM.

Oof, I tried having it make an road-trip itinerary for a cross-europe trip which I recently tried on the open GPT-4 and .. this seemed so much better. On the other hand the prompt was different so maybe it was just me.

Wow, I did some work in summer 1996 in java, web applets! Would be awesome to find that again, but I think the chances are less than slim for that happening. Actually I did some somewhat impressive graphical x86 assembly programs around 199

Obviously Russia is already doing massive amounts of radio interference, that has always been a problem, which Ukraine has partly overcome. Partly. Googling for it you can see that it is massively diminishing the usefulness of drones for Uk

I think you could employ the same tactics that advanced fuzzers do with these tarpits: then mutate the responses randomly, to try get "new" responses from the attackers, instead of new coverage in the code as in the fuzzer. Unless

As an (amateur) geneaologist I at once started looking for loops, and I was not disappointed. There seems to be some "endogamy" here, at least very distant cousin marriage. I wonder if any book has actual, believable endogamy due

Consumers _always_ feel weird about reused packaging? That is probably not true. Here in Swede we used to have an awesome system of plastic containers for a about 20 or so glass bottles of soda. These were always recycled (and so much cheap

Uhh.... thinking ahead of risks, and especially hidden cyclists and pedestrians is something that is taught in basic drivers ed here in Sweden. How can this not be the fault of the car? It should have realized that, yes, I am completely bli

I was doing constant things in my spare time until I had kids. I mean, I still do, just not a lot of it involves learning something technical. Controlling a hoverboard motor is maybe the biggest hobby project I have, other than that its bee
