  • That's the balance though: privacy is the antagonist of transparency in its nature.

    And that's w good thing in my opinion because this discussion is depending on the subject and not an ultimate right or wrong.

    For the specific topic I actually value the transparency more than my personal privacy because it makes manipulation of opinion more transparent.

  • It's a question of effort. Sony has a shitload of public presence. For social engineering I can learn many mid level manager names from LinkedIn for example and their infrastructure is necessarily public facing to allow people to work there.

    And that's not talking about their public web presence and services.

    And now we'll switch to ... You! If I'd try to target you I would have to first find anything from you to actually target.

    Once I have your phone number, public IP or anything that gives me a lead I have to find my way in. And that way in will be because you've made a mistake, are lax with your passwords or use an out of date service.

    But that's like 2/3 of the work I had for Sony as well. And now I see that you're a student with a net fortune of 50$ and a car from 1989.

    To out it another way: for companies I aim with s rifle as they are a worthy prey. For individual people I use a shotgun and hope something hits something.

  • The concept of length is way older than these definitions, same for weight and so on.

    The meter is an awesome example for what I mean: the 1/1000000 wasn't random. From my understanding it won over the alternatives in dezimal because of it's relative closeness to an arms length and the definition was used to remove issues in France because of the (metric) fuckton of different measurements for length.

    And the second example of yours is even better describing what I meant: it's just making sense and is practical not a deep scientific reasoning.

    And I won't bliebe that the foot and inch was conceived by anyone who has a scientific approach.

    To be clear: you're right that basically by definition the units were done by professionals. I try to point out that for the more broader used units practical aspects were at least as important (after all it wasn't a square meter that was used for the gram but a centi of one).

  • You sent me down a freaking rabbit hole, thanks! :)

    From what I found is that there is the simple reason that the weird ones are distance, time and weight - the rest I looked into are based on formal non-normalized definitions (including lumen, which surprised me).

    My guess is that in depends on where the unit comes from: science or day to day use.

    I learned about the Siemens, the Weber and the Gray on the way.

    Thanks again!

  • Thunderbird email client makes connections to sites that have nothing to do with sending and receiving email, for "telemetry" and other questionable reasons

    Jump

  • All the claims concerning telemetry in that thread are made by the person "asking" the question.

    I don't understand the intent of this post. It looks like you're trying to start a rumor to be honest.

    Telemetry in Thunderbird exists and is well documented. If someone is not happy with their engine or approach they need to switch clients and not basically tell them "I want you to rebuild everything around my nerds".

  • German here: just creating and selling something is one thing that jumps to my mind.

    The concept of "I have an idea and a bit of money so I'll just found a company" is ... Tiresome. Possible, yes, but the legal hurdles both good and bad are ridiculous. You need way more time than in the US just for the formal overhead and even then you are way more in it with your own private existence.

    As founder "beschränkte Haftung" is not as limited as it sounds at first if you're not firm in legalese for example.

  • Not the OP so their point of view might differ.

    I've only seen LLM and ADHD connected via writing / homework tasks. Perhaps that's the same link OP thought of.

    And the txt in the image is anyway just an aggressive individual opinion. I don't get the logic of "I don't want or use this so no one is allowed to see it as beneficial".

  • You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:

    You're hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don't mean wooden side first.

    Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.

    Personally, I'd love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.

  • the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything

  • It really becomes time that it's been made clear about that! It's unbelievable that it took so long for someone to call out that it's the time the It is referring to!

    (Now I wait for some nerd to clear up each reference point because I only wrote that because I had the first two parte in my head when I reset your reply!)

  • If darker coloured materials get hotter in the sun faster, will a display with the screen on or off change how quickly it heats up?

    Jump

  • I really like the question, thank you! The answer is a clear "yes, but":

    Your assumption is absolutely correct, light surfaces reflect more light back and heat up less because of this.

    Noe if your display heats up less depends on the amount of energy it uses to generate that white:

    For an e ink display it would be basically the same as a bright vs dark paper of the same color. But OLED for example uses constant energy to generate the white image: So it's depending on how bright the sun shines vs how much heat gets generated by the display itself.

    Still only looking at the sun's energy it would be smaller. If the overall temperature would be lower depends on exactly how bright the sun would be vs how efficient the specific display is!

  • Can you distil water with a bottle and a long hose?

    Jump

  • Raising it lowering the container works only if it is not protected from environmental pressure - but you're right: creating two different pressure environments that are somehow connected is ready in a thought experiment but then you tell that to the engineer and they get their third heart attack of the week...

  • Can you distil water with a bottle and a long hose?

    Jump

  • I'm writing only based on your text, not the video, please excuse any doubling of content.

    It is easier explained if you build an imaginary machine instead of lifting / lowering that does the same thing. The single most important thing to understand is that the lower the pressure the less heat you need to add to boil something. There are funny graphs for each liquid (for example https://courses.lumenlearning.com/umes-cheminter/chapter/vapor-pressure-curves/ ).

    The intro explanation

    The water in your containers will behave based on their individual combination of pressure and temperature. I'd at any point the water vapor falls below its boiling point at the current pressure it starts to form a liquid. At this point you've made a fancy rain machine.

    Note that water itself adds pressure to a system because of its volume even as a gas

    A machine

    Imagine you have a container at 100 mmHg which according to a random online calculator leads to a boiling temperature of 50 degrees C.

    Now you heat this up and lead the water vapor into another chamber which has only s pressure of 10 mmHg. Water has a boiling temperature of only a bit over 10C there! So you keep it at 20C to be sure the water never gets liquid again.

    But wait: now you're adding water vapor into a low pressure container - you're literally pressing a gas into it - so you increase the pressure in there.

    The first container, the source of the gas, becomes irrelevant: As soon as the additional water increases the pressure to around 20mmHg it starts condensation again as now it's boiling point moved above the 20 degrees.

    The flaws

    As you've asked for the downsides: it's a very convoluted way of manipulating water to achieve the same result as simply heating it. You would need way more energy to lift the containers far enough or otherwise decrease the pressure than the energy needed to boil it.

    Other than energy and logistics I don't see a downside. Liquids don't behave differently in terms of boiling no matter the source: pressure, temperature or a combination.

  • You put the finger in the wound with that ruleset though - first the negative of what you've said:

    if you don't allow debt to be calculated against you fuck Up people who literally want to invest in their future (buying machinery for their dream job for example).

    If you do allow debt dedication then you get the status quo: oh I do owe a yacht but I have w huge debt on that - sure I have a collateral against that debt but here is clever accounting and suddenly the net worth of the billionaire is negative on paper.

    I really like what you've described, I only lack the fantasy on how to avoid this banking exploitation by peiple who are smarter and more ruthless than me. :(
