A one-child policy is ethically achievable by making the parents rich or otherwise making retirement care a non-concern. If you look at studies, rich people or people who have retirement taken care of are more likely to produce less childre

It's not as bad if you're willing to wait a bit. Token transfers are like 10$ if you set the gas price to around 120 Gwei, should validate within an hour or two. The tricky bit is the exchanges, though in my experience, the worst

I love some of these, using them to swap USDC/ETH when I need some more stable tokens. However, the downside at the moment is a high price for transactions on Ethereum, I hope this will get better this year, heard there is some upcomin

Wikimedia has a User-Agent policy which is being violated here. Hence this is the property owner putting up a sign that says "risk of injury", so if you walk in and injure yourself, you only have to blame yourself for being neglig

It's 0.05% of energy that could be used elsewhere to reduce emissions (since a lot of miners sit on renewable energy). It's a worthwhile target because it#s easy to fix: don't waste energy like that. edit: additionally a lot

Considering you're talking worldwide energy consumption, 0.05% is a lot of energy. Just because the number is small doesn't mean it's not large by comparison.

KeepassXC has availability of Argon2id and Argon2. It's very decent software IMO that improves over standard Keepass.

Phone lines are their own power grid. It can have outages too, but since they don't share infrastructure too much with HV lines, it's less likely both fail at the same time.

Pure oxygen won't burn anyways. What would it oxidize? If you had frozen a mix of oxygen and hydrogen (without the two separating) it would be possible to ignite and burn it.

sudo can be restricted to specific commands, so you can restrict non-root users to do VERY specific actions (ie, the webdev can reload apache2 but not restart or stop it or take any other action). This means the webdev has the least amoun

The frequencies were in nominal range. The lowest was around 49.7, the highest about 50.6, both of which are within the allowed range of frequency (47.5 - 52.5 is the absolute emergency range, 49-51 is the nominal range, before you start ca

Bitcoin consumes as much energy as a mid-sized country, including it's banking infrastructure. I doubt that if all banks where in one country, they'd consume more energy, including the energy consumed by all banking employees and

Twitter uses Snowflakes, simialr to FB and other services. They scale better than manual ID range allocation and don't entirely behave like auto-increment. The big part is that it can contain gaps. So there is no way to tell if an ID d

I don't see the point there. Lucene is a library, you can hardly offer it as SaaS. It's gluework. On the other hand, Elastic is much more enduser software, which is much more routinely abused for SaaS hosting by larger corporation

My new and fresh Pebble did that too. But after 3 years, it's lost a lot of charge on the battery, so it's more like 4-5 days now.

The court still needs good proof that you intended to receive the package. If they don't have proof, there isn't much for a conviction to stand on and the next instance should slap it back hard.

If you use the KDE Discover, it's pretty smooth as well. Searched for "Signal", found the app, clicked on install, waited, then clicked on open. Signal App opened. Uses Flatpak in the Background and handles updates too.

Not really, the buyer can just claim they didn't know who ordered the package or what was in it. It's not a crime to pick up your mail.
