At no point has anyone in power ever operated otherwise. Frankly I'm surprised that you're surprised.
Slaps on the wrist haven't effected meaningful change in the last several decades so at this point yeah, the penalties for breaking the law should be just as disastrous and life altering for a big company as it is for…
Yes, except parent is correct. Physcial and chemical mean very different and specific things in this context. Calling photosynthesis a physical reaction is flatly incorrect no matter how you want to look at it. It is a…

Wireless power and ""ambient energy"" are incompatible with real physics. Sure, they're real phenomena that actually do exist, but the physics are such that they're almost entirely useless beyond extremely specific and…
This tends to simply not be that much of a problem for "lower" species.
I remember when "as reliable as GitHub" would have been a compliment
Have to say, I've never been disappointed by a Dell monitor.
Because it's graphine and the entire point is that google is not involved in any transaction between you and your banking app.
That's the kind of statement dreamed up by product managers who are not and have never met a gamer. This is what happens when you think you can imagine what your market wants from first principles without actually…
You can't be the "Let's Encrypt of" anything if it's self-hosted. The entire point of Let's Encrypt is that there is a centralized reputable entity of note signing everyone's keys. Without that, it's entirely worthless.…
That's only because they were all designed before the always-on spyware madness began.
There's nothing obvious about it. Meta makes money on ads, period. Scams work and get clicks. Therefore, meta makes money on scams running rampant on their platform.
This is by far the least interesting/worst kind of project emerging lately. "I didn't want to pay trivial money for a product, so I paid nontrivial money to have an AI make a version that's worse in every way that…
Forest fires are possible to prevent most of the time. We lack the political will to do controlled burns. And climate change is making them worse.
I mean, it's a near daily experience for me that Claude tries to 'sudo pacman -S' some dependency multiple times before giving up and admitting that it's fundamentally impossible for it to run that command in the first…
Supposedly it's for FCC compliance. Makes perfect sense if you believe it, but I'm not super convinced.
Or when they develop a society which removes all evolutionary pressures. Evolution isn't magical, it's purely probabilistic. You can drive the probabilities down real low and then genetically engineer the rest away.
Even if you have an entire season's worth of capacity, your inputs and outputs still cycle per-day. You're still cycling charge and discharge every day, you're just doing it in a very small band within the overall…
Reads are effectively infinite. I'm not aware of any upper limit shorter than "end of the universe" timescales. Flash wears out from writing and the answer is in the tens to hundreds of thousands of writes per cell.
Most BT adapters clear their firmware and need reinitialized when enumerated on USB. USB passthrough, properly configured, is transparent to the adapter. You should simply need to run the correct drivers with the…
A certain subset of programmers apparently just really, really hate this whole messy concept of "thinking about things". Text works and is hard because it's a projection of a mental representation. The whole reason we…
It's a visual hash. It isn't reversible, but it is uniquely confirmable.
I felt like I got slapped in the face when I updated Audacity to see a goddamn cloud login service for the audio equivalent of Notepad.
