You vastly underestimate the size and diversity of India. Their middle class is bigger than that of the USA or I think even that of the entire EU. The can have a low rate on pretty much every statistic, while still…
The question is: What will they do after, when Trump is gone, and his policiey on Chinese imports anf foreign workers are gone with him? I hope they hurry. Now’s the time!
They are trying to get in on the Trump ban of Chinese products before it is over, right after Trump is gone. Duh. Still good for them. Hopefully, being the world's next labor slave will lead to them gaining some more…
Keep telling yourself that… Here in Europe, we actually use mostly trains. Trucking is for the smaller deliveries, like some five bathtubs from Sweden to Germany. And we use trains for humans too. The reason your trains…
Why do we need bookmarks when we have softlinks. They are the same concept, and an OS that makes a distinction, is a faulty OS, IMHO. Ditto for tabs. The task bar already serves that. It't the task bar's flaw if it…
Aka something that should never be that way in the first place.
So he’s blue-skinned. Or are you implying he exists or existed for real independent of people’s psychotic heads?
Who said anything about uranium? There are elements with far more favorable decay paths. Short decay + using that decay too = pretty much a clean nuclear reactor.
I’m disappointed. I expected a project-Orion-type interstellar solution. Not a measly ”twice as fast as conventional“ water kettle. Also, no word about what they will acually use. Because classic uranium is a quite…
I highly doubt this is more than lip service. Thesr organizations are run by certified psychopaths, who don’t care about being good, but only about looking good. So they can keep doing what they do. Which is maximizing…
You’ll need $2 million, just for the mask. And if you want to fab yourself, the machines cost in the range from $10 to $50 million. For one machine. And you will need many. As the article states, you will not make those…
What do you think happens to electronics that are sent back during warranty due to being defective? They are mostly "refurbished" (=repaired and cleaned), and then sold again. If possible, even as new. Or, of course,…
It’s not just about faults. But about customizability and upgrades! I like to choose how much RAM and storage and which ports I want with how many generic, vector, FPGA and neural cores, thank you very much. And I like…
Gloodbye customizability and modularity, from a user standpoint. I guess Apple will hire them pretty soon.
What do you mean ”outside“? How can you tell there actually is an outside? (And if you can never tell, why would it matter?)
Dear journalist... it’s called forgiveness. Look it up. The problem with permanent records is, that it forces you to never change. Meaning you deliberately keep a murderer a murderer. Even in cases where their life…
No, I must cometely disagree there. We certainly love improving stuff. But more than half the point of programming is, that you only have to come up with and do it once. We just copy the code, and add our improvement.…
That is true. They are quite a different beast than HTML5 though. Not much left to code yourself there. It’s the difference between using Canvas, and writing Canvas.
Yes it does. Example: My new language "Crysislang". It has only one one-bit instruction. That, when compiled, results in a whole Crysis game. A whole 3D shooter! Written in only one bit! Ain’t I amazing? ;)) I think you…
That’s the thing with your brain: Everything is kinda like that! All the time. Most of your brain literally cannot distinguish between fantasy, dream, stories, and actual experiences. And the parts that do, will never…
What socks? :D Try heart beat, breathing, blood flowing through you, your intestines working, air going through hairs and across your snin, saliva being squeezed out of your mouth's glands, your teeth and tongue…
In lab animals! Not necessarily applicable 1:1 in humans.
Browsers are a case of monolithism (and the inner-platform effect, of course). In actuality, they are multiple different kinds of programs, welded together for no sensible reason. * A http fetching daemon. * A "runner"…
Looking at the CO2 pollution charts ... It's clear that India is the next China: The country that we order cheap manufactured goods from, so our own CO2 numbers keep looking good and we don't have to concern ourselves…
I used to block ads on ShoutCast, 15 years ago. StreamRipper cut the streams by ID3 tag change and accompanying silence. My script just played the ripped MP3s, and ignored the ones with an ad-like ID3 title or that were…
