Source? As far as I’m aware that’s a false claim that’s been circulating for a while. It distorted a NASA study about air quality, not even about oxygen production. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-nasa-study-snake-plants-oxygen-survival-212605533455

Put it this way, to provide enough oxygen for a human, you would have to grow the equivalent plant matter worth of carbon. We eat a lot of carbon, that’s a lot of plant growth per day.

You would need hundreds of houseplants to offset a single human’s CO2/provide enough O2.

I’m not anti house plants, they have benefits, but a single plant will not make a meaningful oxygen difference.

I mean battery tech is always improving, I don’t see -45C as big of a roadblock as you make it out to be. There are already battery chemistries that work well at those temps. They just have to be scaled up and made cost effective.

To me this feels like scoffing at the first car because a horse had a higher top speed.

If someone is able to steal the bitcoin from this wallet, then all bitcoin will be worthless since all wallets can be stolen. Not sure what’s the point of mentioning that is.

I think embodiment plays a larger role. We anthropomorphize physical things.

The reverse of this, people often dehumanize other people when interacting with them virtually.

As a recent LaTeX convert, I’m never going back.

Congrats, you recreated the 2008 financial crisis!

My cat loves me and will bite randomly just for attention. 🤷‍♀️

Nowadays you tell by the lack of creativity.

It being the literal cash.

Framework sells a 240W charger. But I agree, it would have been too soon to enact such a new spec into law.

Niche is good. It’s better to make a niche product then make an identical product to the hundreds of existing products.

Yes? Search engines that work well have been notoriously difficult to make. Google is one of the richest companies because 90s search engines were so dreadfully bad. The bigger the internet, the harder the problem. Working at the scale, efficiently, and giving useful information is just hard.

Kagi is a recent company that seems to be doing a decent job.

That’s the obstetrical dilemma. But it seems like there’s a growing body of work pushing against that idea. Wikipedia has a a good overview.

To keep people without eyes off their platform.

I don’t know. If my parent was an Astronaut and they decided to stop being an Astronaut for me. I would hate that, feels like a burden.

Math and physics (or any subject that requires calculation) usually requires practice. Applying the knowledge in a short timeframe is different skillset then just having the knowledge.

That only applies if you modify/distribute it. That doesn’t apply to a user. I guess comparing the length of a company’s employee handbook would be a fair comparison to the GPLv2.

One can dream, but I’m pessimistic and see enough demand for a long while. Can’t even fully stop using coal yet.

Long term yes, since it encourages a switch from fossil fuels. Short term, it’s probably good for them. If you sell oil and take % cut. The cost doubles, your profit doubles! It also opens up more drilling that wasn’t worth the expense before.
