It takes thousands of times more energy to transport a CD from manufacturer to distribution center to consumer on the UPS/Amazon truck... or even more to store to consumer.
And your CD player is hooked up to a big wifi system anyway. And often you are streaming on a portable device that uses a miniscule amount of electricity.
What kind of broken carbon math is this?
My thoughts exactly. I had to double-check the source. It sounds like something spewed out of the mindless cretins at Wired.
Anecdotal, but I used to be a network admin for a school district and this exactly matches my experience with tech in schools.
I remember, back in 2004 when I went to Digipen, how many programming students didn't even know how to manage files and directories. Or didn't know you could hit <TAB> to get from one input box to another (for instance, in the Windows XP logon screen...they'd use the mouse every time).
My nephew (2 years old) can navigate the shit out of YouTube, but if he brushes against the screen and stops playback by moving to another app, he's completely lost.
Having tech solves almost nothing. You still need to know how to think
It's not clear whether that question can be reliably answered with these findings, and it's also obvious DuckDuckGo is a biased source with something to gain by pointing out how flawed Google's approach may be.
Thanks for being open to criticism and openly acknowledging faults/bias.
It's more marketed to gaming, but I love this keyboard. I wanted a MS Natural 4000 with backlit keys, because I don't always work in the brightest of rooms.
I quickly grew to love this keyboard, quick macro recording. Very comfortable, if I switch positions, I can move the halves to where they're most comfortable. The keyboard software lives on the keyboard, so any tweaks you make stay with it, and it doesn't require installing anything.
There are some downsides:
Rearrangement of the F keys (instead of blocks of 4, they're split in half.
No number pad
Escape is too far away, F1 is where Escape should be
No Home/End/PgUp/PgDwn/Delete/Insert block of keys. They're there, but awkward. Damn you, muscle memory!
Delete is way too high; luckily you can easily remap keys, so I swapped it with Home
No Context Menu button (but I remapped right Alt to be my context menu click)
Overall, I've found the physically split keyboards to be far superior, the ability to move them to suit you is worth the minor downsides. I'm waiting for the Ergodox EZ to get real backlighting to give it a try.
Could be the right move. Given papa's power, in short time you'd be hearing the party line change to how they never denied climate change and EVs are great. Anything else is just lies, all lies, from the fake news media led by CNN and NYT.
We're at war with Eastasia. We've always been at war with Eastasia.
They passed universal background checks for all gun purchases in Washington. There are no real teeth to that bill, but it's still law. Even law enforcement refused to enforce it during an open resistance at the state Capitol. The law itself accomplishes absolutely nothing.
Sometimes a law exists, I think, merely as a stepping stone to more restrictive legislation.
I read it as more of an interesting fact. Kind of like baseball statistics...they come up with the most convoluted pieces of information that have almost no bearing to anything...but "Hey, cool, number 5!"
I suggest that we call planet 9 "Pluto". There is another object called "Pluto" but since it isn't a planet, it should be no problem, right?
Well, we'll have Pluto, and Planet Pluto, then. Or something.
Much like we have Washington State and Washington, D.C. Depending on where you're at (and sometimes the context of the conversation overrides this), Washington refers to either the State or D.C.
Since we've already got duplicate naming conventions totally figured out, and with all ambiguity removed, calling it Pluto shouldn't be a problem for anybody. You've got my vote!
You would never build a Hoover Dam with this stuff.
No, because the point of the concrete in Hoover Dam isn't the strength, it's the weight.
The strength comes from the shape and the bedrock. Granted, a good amount of strength does come from the concrete itself, but weight is the primary driver. The natural strength of the arch directs the forces into the cliffsides.
Now Grand Coulee Dam, on the other hand, is just a giant slab. Weight is even more significant for Grand Coulee.
What about considering the cost of implementing sound security policies? No one will do it if the fine is less than the cost of implementation.
Where I grew up, there was a fine for farmers irrigating county roads. Let's call it $500. The fine could only be applied once per year, and the cost of fixing their irrigation to not water the roads is, let's say, $10,000 (plus the additional maintenance).
I feel your pain. I could either get 1.5mbps DSL, or fork over $75/mo for 5mbps/1.5mpbs fixed wireless. I opted for the fixed wireless. It could barely stream Netflix, which is about all my wife does at home (that's a lie, she does tons, I love you, honey!)
When I moved to another county on the other side of the river, similar choices. This time I'm lucky that an enterprising neighbor about 15 years ago started his own ISP off a nearby fiber backbone. I now get anywhere from 25-90mbps up and down, with no restriction, for a solid $40/mo.
He started this when he moved out for himself. Neighbors caught on, wanted in. He doesn't advertise, just maintains his little network. If you have the resources and know-how, look into it. Ask some neighbors if they'd be interested. His little network is more reliable than the larger commercial carriers around, though I have to ask to get access to some common ports, such as 80 and 443...
"He said that removing material within an hour is important because it's "the critical window in which the greatest damage is done...Content would be flagged up by national authorities, who would issue removal orders to the internet companies hosting it. Those companies would be given one hour to delete it."
So the hour after national authorities find it is this critical window? Everything before that is fine? The greatest damage is only done after the national authorities have flagged it?
Nothing I said is absolute, except the first part of this statement. I said at the end, "And in all things, all in moderation," and I meant that. Not all bullying is going to be good. Most of it is probably bad, actually. It must be case-by-case, you cannot just make a blanket statement saying "bullying is bad" the same way you can make a blanket statement that says "killing is bad".
Jumping to absolutes like you have is exactly why we can't have nice things in today's society.
As for all those who went on a rampage/committed suicide? I'd wager bullying isn't the root cause. It affected it, certainly, but there were many other factors at play that are equally, if not more, to blame. Perhaps preventing the bullying could have saved their lives, perhaps not. But I think we can both agree that it does need to be examined more thoroughly before any concrete decisions are made.
So I stand by what I said: based on my personal experiences and observations, bullying is, in general, a vital part of growing up.
So what we need, is to stop raising our children without self-confidence. Without giving out trophies for participation. And with bullies, for the sole purpose of them growing from letting the bullies bounce off again and again. So they later, in the real world, don't have to become SJW terrorists.
My sister had to write an essay one time for a college scholarship on the subject: Why we should work to stop bullying.
The stupid wording aside, I rewrote her entire essay (as a joke, I later sent her just the editorial changes she wanted). I posit that bullying is good, that it helps to build character. Both ways. Adversity builds character. Just like learning (you can't learn if you're always right), you can't build character if you've got nothing to build it with. Bullying, being bullied, getting in trouble...hell, everyone should get in at least enough trouble to spend a night in jail! It build character and resilience to the world. Gives you something interesting to talk about.
When my sister told me my nephew was being bullied (as opposed to being the bully) in the new grade, I said "good". He's smart, strong, tall, fairly well-mannered. Being bullied brings him back down to earth.
And in all things, all in moderation. I was bullied in school. Learned to defend myself there. I maintain that that's part of why I am the man I am today.

Quick, change my pin to "1234"!
I use 9999, because it's the most secure PIN because it's the last one to get guessed.
You start with 0000, then 0001, 0002 and so on...9999 will be the last one the haxxors get to!
...Then it's just up to the parents to ensure ...
Easy there, turbo. That's not how we work in today's world. You can't have parents being responsible.

Don't fix it, just pay the fine.
Laziness promotes productivity, I always say.

Fuck it, lets just burn all the computers and go back to using bows and arrows, and hunting in the woods.....
Shit, the Butlerian Jihad is coming sooner than we thought (and for more inane reasons!).

A somnambulant train station... that's quite impressive. Not many towns have sleep-walking train stations.
