Do those petitions actually do anything real? I mean, other than be an attention vehicle.

I wonder if that’ll apply to CarPlay. Can’t wait to see if that causes any accidents…

They clearly only read the headline

Bold of you to assume any of this will be encrypted.

That’s wild. Finding the edge by finding an inversion in age of stars. I read that just trying to figure out how they can tell how old a star is in the first place.

It’s poorly worded to mislead into “actual efficiency”. People looking at solar panels need the real number, not how it compares to traditional ones. This is at worst misleadingly worded, or at best, poor journalism.

You missed the point. OP was talking about the two, very populous, countries that directly border Myanmar, and how they have no apparent crisis with opium/drug imports like the US does with Mexico.

That was recently relevant in the wake of Amazon bricking older Kindles, I think.

They just use the different techniques to fIngerprint you. It’s an arms race, and we lost it years ago.

They can’t be the only one doing this, though. It’s going to be a game of whack-a-mole as long as the carriers are still allowed to sell this data. The only way that’ll change is if some well connected politician gets outed or arrested because of it, probably.

Weird. Every time I rent a dumpster, I pay up front. I only owe more if the weight goes above a certain threshold, which it never has.

SMB on MacOS has had performance issues for a long, long time. It doesn’t implement SMB very well, and all the Samba hackery people need to go through to work around it is basically just lived with. rsync is much better because of this.

I think the strawman argument is that they go to the ER, which typically cannot deny care due to lack of insurance. That in turn makes it “free” for them.

This looks to be intentionally going for the campy awfulness the Van Damme one did by accident, and I love it. I hope they do Raul Julia proud.

Huh, I’ve never though of adding eggs to mac n’ cheese like that. I make a bechamel sauce for my stove top mac. I might try that one, though.

Obviously they would not be distributing UBI. My point is, the robot conversion is already their end game. It’s not an issue if money, it’s an issue of readiness if the technology.

If Amazon was technologically ready to do this, they would have already. You think they prefer having the meat grinder of labor abuse they run globally, over what would be “buy once” robo-employees for the warehouses? It’s been their top logistics focus for well over a decade, and while they’ve come a long way, it’s still not ready for wholesale labor replacement for all those roles.

400kbps would be slow as hell, for all of those use cases. Video would be unusable, but other stuff would still be insanely slow with all the bloat in modern websites and tracking crap in apps.

Carbon Removal Purchases

I read that and immediately figured it was just corporate green-washing. Then read this on cdr.fyi , which basically confirms it.

2.7% of purchases have been delivered

I assume this “market” is just a way for corpos to get tax incentives, since the “demand” (purchases) will never, ever catch up with “supply” (actually removing carbon).

The owners get a cut either way. The real question is why are these “well timed” bets not being investigated by the SEC as insider trading? It’s either unlicensed/illegal gambling, or it’s securities trading. It can’t be neither, and it seems like the grey area is the only reason this company is allowed to exist.
