I’m one of those weird people that still watches DVDs on my Mac. A couple years ago they rewrote the dvd app and dropped a ton of handy features. It’s very barebones now.

This doesn't disprove the pathogen hypothesis. For example, having that gene could mean someone is less able to deal with infections.

Look up the alzheimer’s is caused by pathogens hypothesis. If my parents start to develop alzheimer’s I will push for antivirals and antibiotics. Nothing to lose at that point. Edit: > The infectious hypothesis proposes that a pathogen (

I would never use a company that thinks I’m a child that needs a bedtime. This also assumes everyone wakes up in the morning and has a normal schedule.

The same thing was assumed right before the first world war. Back then we also had globalization. It didn’t prevent the war and globalization didn’t return until after the second world war.

Couldn’t we just fallback on older fabs in Europa and the US? Turn back the clock to 2005 instead of the 80s.

You also need to compare the right cpu. M1 Ultra cpu is the equivalent of the fastest threadripper. Which costs $3990. So a pc with similar performance would be $7500

No, it's the exact same meaning as when it happens to a person. What vkou said. https://twitter.com/ConallLaverty/status/1499414982429224974 Almost none of these companies left because of sanctions, they left

I don’t think that’s true. Otherwise, Mastercard/Visa/Paypal wouldn’t have waited this long. I think Russia is being ‘canceled’. They have become toxic to companies. It’s PR related, not because of government orders.

To be fair, NATO was initially opposed to expansion but the ex-Warsaw pact countries really pushed for it. They were afraid of Russia.

I'm fairly sure that's the norm almost everywhere. It's not just to prove they can take it, hospitals like to use students as free labor. I know it happens in Western Europe.

The Pentagon wants to use Starship for military transport. Getting troops anywhere on earth within an hour would be a huge advantage.

The “environmental movement” is still fighting nuclear. Where are the lawsuits to stop nuclear plants by big oil? There aren’t any. Greenpeace on the other hand has made it their mission. The greens are responsible for the higher emissions

Those things don't matter. Just by existing Safari is making sure web developers can't solely focus on Chromium. If we disregard mobile, Safari still has more marketshare on desktop than Firefox. > Apple's offering, Safari

Why does everyone always forget about Safari in these discussions? Safari has a respectable marketshare on mobile / tablets. Not as good on desktop but it’s not a lost cause.

Not just France. 60 % of Belgian electricity is generated by nuclear power plants. Unfortunately the green party has decided to shut them down and replace them with gas plants to “save the climate”. Green stupidity knows no boundaries.

I don’t care because it doesn’t matter. Worldwide lockdowns in 2020 yet only a 7 % reduction in emissions. The lockdowns checked almost every box on the ‘do this to save the world list’ from green activists. No air travel, car traffic decim
