The GPS is probably used to get the current time and location to orient the dish to the best satellite using ephemeris. Also the accurate time is needed in telecommunications for Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and maybe they have an i

The pyramid can keep growing while your population is increasing, but that is not the case in China, the fertility rate seems low and its population is shrinking [1]. [1] https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220531

Really impressive. If we are able to generate such detailed images, is there anything similar for text to music? I would I though that it would be simpler to achieve than text to image.

Same for me, switched to a safety razor, a shaving brush and shaving soap few years ago and never looked back. Disposable razors and disposable shaving cream are real waste of resources and money.

By not disclosing it they hide the fact that their core business growth may be at risk in case of a cryptocurrency crash. And they may know that if they sell directly to crypto miners.

To my point of view, sharing this is irresponsible, modifying librespot to download song on your computer is fairly easy and is a good learning exercise to learn Rust. But by sharing this work publicly, you increase chances that librespot w

Building it is the easy part, finding the few hundred thousand users is most likely the hard part.

Yes, it's doable in a one liner, but then you get a warning of your browser, then 100 windows asking to confirm to save the file, it still is terrible UX. And form my experience, most users are not aware of the dev console. For others

I had to click through more than 100 links to download all the data, how can this be acceptable? Specially coming from Amazon. How hard is it for them to create an archive with all the data? This is ridiculous, I can't imagine how was

Most likely it was the Olympic Truce asked by the Chinese, so Russia wont face sanctions from them. As of today, Russia is very dependent on China for its exportation, maybe China is the winner in this war.

There is data piping needed between the main thread and workers, each new connection is handled to a worker as a socket descriptor, like a pointer.

I really want to like Haskell, there is great programs that I use and love in Haskell (pandoc, glirc, hoogle, hackage), but the ecosystem (cabal, stack, ghc) really drag you down, with libraries incompatibilities, slow upstream updates, too

I can see why everything is centralized: moderation. How would you ban NFTs that would be considered illegal? Sure a solution would be to put the NFTs on a decentralized file system (IPFS?) or a P2P sharing network. And have kind of P2P&#x2

I'm not sure, is there not one standard, most accepted recipe and then N variations? Also, I would not except edits to be on ingredients, but mostly on the method. If a user would want to modify ingredients, he could create a his &quot

It is interesting that there is not yet a Wikipedia of recipes. It would be the perfect use case for a wiki. People would love to share their recipes variations and improve/fix existing one. There would be a standard layout, introducti

The transmission speed in air would be very close to a vacuum, so the speed of light (c). This depends on the velocity factor [1], for pure copper it's 0.95 c, so 95% the speed of light. Actually for air, according to this source [2],

Yes I agree with you, RF is not the good term in this case. I wanted to compare it to RF transmissions which are oscillations in the EM field.

The first signal is a close RF transmission, billions of people rely on it everyday, a current disturbs the electromagnetic field and and an antenna, sometimes thousands of kilometers away, detects a very small variation in the field (-120d

The gap on the line acts more as a capacitor than an antenna, AC pass through capacitors, but DC does not.

That explains the results I've got last week when I was doing some tests on an slow external HDD and a SLOG file placed on my internal SSD, the write speed dropped much faster that I expected. I found it disappointing that ZFS needs to

My reaction too. I would say the number of scraped tires due to wear far exceed those scrapped due to puncture. Also it looks like this airless tire contains much more rubber, that would increase the tire weight and would impact the fuel co
